@@supermasterPIK What do you mean? If you're asking if I'm in one or if that is the title of track you need to be more specific. Or I just answered your question
The thing i love about this game, is that they literally fight an ENTIRE night stra1ght (in game), because it begins at night/dark, and ends as the sun comes up over Mr. X's condo on the beach. Loved this game growing up.
My lil cousin’s saw my brother an me playin this game. She Got a Genesis and this game an was literally the only game she ever owned. Sega bundled it with the game.
Man, this game really is a showcase for the Mega Drive. I mean, look at how many characters there are on screen at the same time (I've noticed up to 6 enemies plus the 2 players). And they are big too. The SNES simply could not manage this--and I'm saying that as a SNES guy. It's extremely impressive stuff. Also, and this is another subtle detail I've recently noticed on old games like this, the Genesis HUD here is really colourful whereas the SNES with so many games like this often looks like it's using low colour mode for the HUD. It's the little things that make all the difference imo.
Sega was a cool console, in the brightness of the color schemes, absolutely. Its a shame many of the badass games on nintendo/SNES (at the time) werent made for Sega.
This was one of my favorite games. I must've beat it 100x on mania mode which is even harder than hardest mode. Even though the overall skill level of the players was not good this was fun to watch for the nostalgia. It feels like yesterday when I played it and I remember all the moves and how to do them.
Was it necessary to point out how much worse the players were at this game than you USED to be? No it wasnt. Just enjoy the upload and keep the sidebar comments to yourself. I'm sure everyone who read your comment is soooo proud of you for beating this game 100x on mania mode.. go ahead and pat yourself on the back now, you obviously need it
It might make a comeback, there was a poll on a Japanese Sega site to fill in a few forms to say which franchise you would like to see revived. I voted Streets of Rage. A 2.5D title would be awesome.
I love this game so so much, ever since my childhood forever !!!! I remember playing it at 4 years old 2001 with my mom and I remember we enjoyed it so much together I was always always Blaze. I was playing this ON the Sega genesis and the memories are just so strong, I own this game, I've beaten this in HARDEST MODE and the music is just so amazing. SEGA u have made my childhood full of ur memories, blaze I love a whole lot you are my favorite !!!!!!!!!
By far the best video game soundtrack ever The music when you fight Barbon in the rainy back alley....totally awesome! My brothers and I always played 2 player with Max and Skate I gotta admit though, Max's uppercut move was straight gangster Max's double fisted spin move was pretty effective in a pinch too
some wise person once told me that the genesis could only produce beeps and boops. Well, if this is what beeps and boops can produce, then call me a lover of beeps and boops.
If only the SNES version matched the arcade in terms of having all three players to choose from, two players in-game simultaneously, and as many enemies on-screen at once. I think this is one area where Streets of Rage 2 really blows Final Fight out of the water. And although SNES got slight more complex Final Fight games later, I still think the original had the better foundations overall, so it's sad the SNES never got the fully realised version it deserved.
That's mainly because Axel was just a much much better character in the game. Had the best overall moves, speed, etc. Max was strong, but extremely slow
how do you guys use the {forward forward attack} move so easily? Do you have some kind of custom button mapping thing set up on your pad emulator? if so what is it called? thanks
GatecrasherSlim No mate, but we were using gamepads so it helps a lot to press buttons faster. I can say if you keep pressing forward, when you press attack it will connect, that's why you see me (Axel) a lot of times just taking small steps - just me spamming forward so i can press attack when i want. Hope this helps.
Once I saw the similarities in Path of the Warrior VR game to this, I had to come check it out to remember the game I played back when I was like 6 years old
The colours, sprites, aesthetics of the move sets, the character designs, backgrounds, the funky beats... SOR1 was epic, SOR2 was near to perfect. SOR3 was awful... they completely changed the mechanics, it looked like a lazy effort, the stage scenes sucked, the songs were awful, the combat wasn’t rubbish. I remember back in school days, kids were saying 3 looked older than 2.. Honestly... the only thing SOR2 missed was new levels, a lift stage including throw offs, pits to throw enemies in, factory stages that included ⚡️ 🔥 💧 like SOR1 stage 4 and 6... I guess that’s what SOR remake is there for. What I appreciate about Remake is that they stuck true to SOR2 design. Although they included 1 and 3, the sprites and gameplay matches 2. SOR Remake is better than 4, I genuinely believe the theme should’ve stayed as 2. Without question the baddest game in history.
Don't know if y'all been there or not - there's a tougher level than this - it's called "mania" ... it's been so long since i played it but I think you have to win this level first, don't shut off the console, and start a new game...my bro and I used to play the crap outta this game - like hours and hours for days. Awesome game.
The music on stage 4 is more or less, exactly the same as The Shaman's song Move any Mountains! Used to love this game but I still think SoR1 is slightly better.
Dude, as Axel grab an enemy, and throw them backwards into guys behind you, use your special every now and then, mix up your moves a little more, makes gameplay more fun and interesting don't you think?

What made this game so memorable and fantastic was the soundtrack. One of the best I’ve heard ever.
I loved the music in the first one as well

@@supermasterPIK What do you mean? If you're asking if I'm in one or if that is the title of track you need to be more specific. Or I just answered your question
Can someone please tell me why my life is going down every time I hit the enemies. I loose as much power as them nearly.
To me it sounds like a sexy 90s Cinemax/Showtime soundtrack.
This is the best beat’em up game of the 16 bit era hands down!!! Thanks for posting.

This game was one of the main games that made me wanna buy a Sega Genesis back in the day spent alot of time on this game
yea I had a SNES but my cousin had sega and this game we played a lot
My lil cousin’s saw my brother an me playin this game. She Got a Genesis and this game an was literally the only game she ever owned. Sega bundled it with the game.
The music transitions between each stage, its so fitting!
When you get to that first boss outside in the rain and the fight music kicks on🔥🔥🔥 Man what a great childhood game !!!
Hours and hours me and my brother played this glad glad they had a girlie in the game perfect for me, best 2d side scroll beatem up ever made.
Double dragon 2 was great aswell.
30:12. Most epic team takedown ever. 😁
Having so much fun watching this. It's like your killing an entire country 😆

Well it could, But regardless its the originalty and absolute quality about SOR2 that devines its legendary status.
Looking at it as a whole it's probably one of the most impressive games on either the Genesis or SNES.
Sega was a cool console, in the brightness of the color schemes, absolutely. Its a shame many of the badass games on nintendo/SNES (at the time) werent made for Sega.
Skate, all day ✌🏿️✌🏿
+Ken Cook Hell yea his spin power move was the titties!
+George Ambroziak I agree
Yup skate all day
all day erryday
fuckin loved that kid lol
7:14 your moms in this game
The first track is literally another song in the 90's as well. I love it!
Brings back great memories from when I was 10!
The boss music. Brilliant. As soon as it starts you know shit is getting serious.
I was 7 playing this dam this my favorite game even the music was dope lol 😂 skate! 💯

@@Spiggle. and 3 years later we got it
the soundtrack is so beautiful
Yeah I agree.
Yes it is
They should've had a movie for this
I loved playing as Axel.....
me 2 and max was fun to try to master

The friendly hit where you hit your teammate is the only I don't like.. Besides that everything is perfect. Classic game. Nostalgic💯
I never noticed as a kid but Mr. X was shooting his own henchmen too 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 AND laughing about it
5:52 it sounds of one of michael jackson's song remember the time in the beginning
1:05:56 We'll be right back
By far the best video game soundtrack ever
The music when you fight Barbon in the rainy back alley....totally awesome!
My brothers and I always played 2 player with Max and Skate
I gotta admit though, Max's uppercut move was straight gangster
Max's double fisted spin move was pretty effective in a pinch too
I love this game! Very good memories
That timeless soundtrack 😎
One of the best
some wise person once told me that the genesis could only produce beeps and boops. Well, if this is what beeps and boops can produce, then call me a lover of beeps and boops.
Not entirely true. Altered Beast had actual spoken words
That's not true fm synthesis is crazy powerful with sound design
Who ever was controlling Max was CRIMINALLY underutilizing him. He could have easily destroyed Abadede!
streets of rage 2 has the best soundtrack in my opinion
Looks like awesome fun!
The Max player is a noob. Use Max's slide to get in close, and grab from behind.
It's annoying hearing Axel uppercut every second lol 😂😂😂
Sonic gamer Hedgehog you'll hear it all day if you play this game.
No its not. Its weirdly satisfying
16 bit nostalgia right here
Man.. Abadede kicked you guys asses, though on the hardest difficulty i can see why.. he does look a bit of a pain.
the players are horrible
nostalgia hits hard, every single time
Played this for hours with my brother and cousins. :) Love how Alaska Thunderfuck referenced it in one of her songs... brought me here. :3
Yo...
From the 33 minute mark for 20 seconds, Abadede...kicked...ass.
Mi talón de aquiles en aquellos tiempos,lo amo este juego es entretenido, aún lo tengo en mi ipod y no me aburre jamás =')
...oh and Max is too dam slow...
Meh. My brother plays with him and makes him look mad diesel. You just need to know how to use Max is all.
29:53 illest wamp wamp bassline
OMG the memories ❤️! Skate was my man. I kicked so much ass with him lol.
Still play it almost every day in my 1993 Sega Mega Drive 8D
One of the best side scroller beat em up games ever. Right on top with Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, in my opinion.
Lol. That stunlocking at 7:13! xD
This and Final Fight. My fav beat-'em-up games.
If only the SNES version matched the arcade in terms of having all three players to choose from, two players in-game simultaneously, and as many enemies on-screen at once. I think this is one area where Streets of Rage 2 really blows Final Fight out of the water. And although SNES got slight more complex Final Fight games later, I still think the original had the better foundations overall, so it's sad the SNES never got the fully realised version it deserved.
Add Cadillacs and Dinosaurs and that's my top 3 (by no order).
Axel is saving max's bacon loads of times!
That's mainly because Axel was just a much much better character in the game. Had the best overall moves, speed, etc.
Max was strong, but extremely slow
el mejor de mi infancia
8:40 bro that was brutal. Man took it all to the nuts 🅱️ RIP
Damn bruh you made sure she suffered 😂😂😂 7:15 - 7:43

you been able to obtain weapons from ya enemies the whole game. Get to Mr. X, bet his assistant wasn't givin up dat street sweeper 😂

This soundtrack🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
33:41 the audience look the same.
mike angel cortez Don’t get me started on every enemy besides Mr.X & Shiva. On god it’s like they have a cloning device for everything.
blaze is sick with the knife
1:08:22 - Alex is landing on his feet, like a BOSS!
best game on the Mega Drive
Was hoping to see a playthrough of "Mania" difficulty.
21:11 got all 90s Dr.dre west coast night club on u
GRANDPAPA!
That's what i always heard as well.
I speak spanish and hear 'bebe papa' which means baby father
GRAND UPPA!!!
Na, it's 'Christopher!'
METAPOD!!!
Even though this is not the hardest setting I still like it
Takes me back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Classic 👊👍
Imagine how easy this would be with both of you playing as Axel
DELTA RAY EDGE what is it
@@supamalleo64 Google ma bro
very nice attack. electra how you do that. without getting yourself nailed by her.
Okay, 34:35 made me laugh out loud.
GIBBY!!!!!
What are doing at the beginning with max...just jumping up and down
You can axel knew how to play and max was just taught. Not expecting perfection but we're dying for no reason in some spots. Good video tho
best music
Max is like a Hulk
its a free life in the corner at the bottom of the screen surprised they missed that

How did Axel basically “block” Barbons throws in the 1st stage?
Daniel Diaz Jr In the air, hold up+jump button
The era when the internet didn't exist and cellphones where only for the rich.
Tell Hell wit u Max😡🤣👌🏾
Axle uppercut:JESSICA!!! Go ahead......unhear it....
Uhhhh...he's saying bare knuckles...after the original Japanese version title
Seems like final fight
Como VC conseguiu cair de pé?
Stage 8 music good
Who remembers having sleep overs and playing this sonic and mortal kombat?
Oooooaaaaahhhh
What is Axel shouting when doing his uppercut? "MEGA - PAW" ???
+Rogue-Spear I think he says "Grand Uppah", since that attack is called Grand Upper.
+Ricardo Fabian he shouts bare knuckle, in Japan Streets of rage is called bare knuckle.
Dan Rowe
Indeed it is, but he is definitely not shouting the Japanese title name. I dunno how you can possibly hear that anyway...
grand uppa i think
He's saying Bare Knuckle
The colours, sprites, aesthetics of the move sets, the character designs, backgrounds, the funky beats... SOR1 was epic, SOR2 was near to perfect.
SOR3 was awful... they completely changed the mechanics, it looked like a lazy effort, the stage scenes sucked, the songs were awful, the combat wasn’t rubbish.

"YYET!!"
For Max, looks like Mr. X gave to ya. Wat!

Best ever character in sor2

Amazing this play
The music on stage 4 is more or less, exactly the same as The Shaman's song Move any Mountains! Used to love this game but I still think SoR1 is slightly better.
Anybody who’ve played this ever find all the hidden 1-ups on all the levels? Just noticed all the play throughs this is not the case....
I manage to find hidden 1-ups in my playthrough on it.
Back when Axel was strong. Blocking only made thing worse! lol
most notably flaw in this game is: you shouldn't be able to hit and take power away from your partner...
You gotta play on Mania level
Mania would be too hard for this Max
It's doable...if you know how to properly use Max.

Ah ah ah, yeah Dorkly, I saw that too :)
