Gotta admit this guy cuts it close at some points, but this is legit. I remember using some of the same tactics, but I had to call in the rocket launcher on some stages and I lost some lives.
Just found this now… And realized something after all these years. Mr. X came back because when the matrix slowed down and he was confirmed dead.. you still picked up the lead pipe and swung at him repeatedly for no reason hitting the air as he agonized in pain.. Everyone that played this game did this knowing he was already dead and he remembered 💀
This is very impressive! I have this strange obsession with SoR where I keep playing through it on 'hardest' mode though unfortunately the best I can do is go without dying/specials--I still take damage. I play SoR on the Virtual Console however so I can't, say, practice fighting the final boss or anything which an emulator would allow me to do... but not to take away from your amazing achievement (indeed I don't know if you even used your emulator for this advantage: maybe you didn't!)
Yeah I getcha on the SOR2 thing,that game is insane on Mania. And I didn't really like SOR3 that much. For some reason it felt like the hit detection was off for alot of the enemies. It felt like that for me with the original SOR. I can't wait to see the rest of your runs. You've got a fan in me.lol
I would have gone back to Stage 6, and would have had to fight my way back up to him. The bad ending cannot be obtained with 1 player. It requires 2 players to choose opposite answers, with the one choosing "Yes" winning the resulting duel and beating Mr. X for his position.
@GREGGORVICH12 I just recorded a lot of playthroughs for about 5 days until I did one without damage. It's not the first time I've done it. Including attempts that were screwed up really early, it probably took at least 30 tries.
@gsaurus4 The dual bosses on 2p also typically have goons to aid them. Things get really hectic and avoiding damage becomes extremely difficult. Again, I could do it, but I'd either have to use specials or take damage. One or the other. Trying to complete such a run under the same parameters as this one would be very trying. Honestly, if I do end up doing another run, it will likely be similar to this one but faster.
If I were to record an attempt at a no damage, Hard SoR3 run right now, I would get my ass thoroughly handed to me. I might finish the first two levels without getting hit, but after that I'd likely be taking hits on every level. No death would be tricky for me at this point. Streets of Rage 3 is harder than 1, no question. All I'm saying is that no damage is humanly possible, while in SoR2 I have my doubts. There are way too many situations that arise in 2 that require single-frame precision.
Excellent run Xeno. I always play on hardest when playing SoR, but i play in 2 player mode and let the other be killed off, it ups the difficulty a bit more, but i could never do it without damage. but try it yourself, having two bosses and the enemy number set to two players and go through the game, its nuts
@gsaurus4 Yes, single segment means it was played from start to finish with no intermission. As far as a 1p Hardest run on 2p mode goes, I can't see it happening. Not under the same parameters as this run, anyway. If I were to do it, I'd probably take advantage of specials. On 2p mode, the bosses from stage 2 and onwards become incredibly difficult to take down without getting hit or using specials.
And wow, only 30 play-throughs? I must have done a 'hardest' run 100+ times and I'm nowhere as skilled as you! I do, however, generally do it for fun. I'm strange, yes.
I do plan on doing speed runs of those games at some point in time, but not no damage, not for 2 anyways. SoR2 is not plausible to do without damage on Mania, outside of tool-assistance. My goal for such a run would be no death using Max. I may make an Axel run as well. SoR3 on the other hand is plausible to do without damage, I just don't play it enough. It's still harder than 1, and I'd need a lot of practice. I'd be using specials, so in that way it still wouldn't be the same as this run.
Good job! By single segment you mean it was plaid from start to end with no breaks, right? Ultimate challenge for you: same thing, but starting with 2 players and kill one of them ;P It would definitely be more interesting (even harder if you move all the way on each scene before fighting incoming punks)
As far as no damage is concerned, there isn't much difference between the US SoR3 and the Japanese BK3. The increased damage dealt by enemies is irrelevant, as I wouldn't be getting hit anyways. Some of the enemies have considerably more health in SoR3, which would make that version slighter harder, but still very doable. SoR3 is similar in to SoR1 in that regard. The enemies do a lot of damage, but they don't attack nearly as often or as aggressively as in SoR2.
@XeroShinobi Yeah the problem isn't bosses, but those goons, you're right :P I really would like to see a speedrun in 2p mode, 1p. It's fair to allow damaging. About specials, well, I see them as just escapes for hard situations..
Hey Xero, just used your methods to finish my very own version... Granted on normal and tool assisted but it still felt like an accomplishment, thanks for uploading.
@gsaurus4 I am actually thinking of trying to do a 2P mode with 1 player playthrough of this game and I'm actually going to try to beat it without using special or getting hit. I have beaten it before without special but I got hit (and died) a lot so it may be a while before I do such a thing.
@XeroShinobi I don't think bosses are that of a problem. You already took 2 clawmen on lvl7 1p. For 2 Abadedes you can use repetitive moves, for 2 bongos grab and beat one at a time, you can avoid the one that comes firing by vaulting over the one you're grabbing (invincible frames). And that's all. I confess I couldn't do it myself (unless willing to practice dozens or hundreds of times) But I believe you can do it after a few more practice. Maybe allowing to be hit, but plz no specials ;-)
@azrial4421 You must not play Streets of Rage a lot. Tosses can be landed safely by pressing up and jump as one lands. I do it around a dozen times in the run.
been a while i havent played that stage 8, honestly i feel like those galcias are on drugs xD I use the wrong warp now, parameter speedruns, like me doing sor trilogy speedrun where there is no category for this ? So you set up at your will, i just ask i have nothing against it i'm curious.

3:54 after all these years, I had no idea you can punch Mr.X's bullets. I always jumped to dodge his bullets
Me neither
Idem
Kudos to you Sir! This is by far the best I've ever seen this game played!
Gotta admit this guy cuts it close at some points, but this is legit. I remember using some of the same tactics, but I had to call in the rocket launcher on some stages and I lost some lives.
Holy fuck.. Dude, you must be some sort of SoR -god. :O This run was so amazing, hats off for you, good sir.
No matter how many times I watch this, I'm always left speechless by the merciless curb-stomping that every boss receives.
Just found this now… And realized something after all these years.

Awesome Speedrun man.
Are you considering running 2 & 3 in the same way??
Learned a lot from this fighting
you are a boss, amazing run .

3:48
Did you just punch one of the bullets out of the air? That was freaking sick!
You were telling me about this! Very impressive!
Yeah I getcha on the SOR2 thing,that game is insane on Mania.
And I didn't really like SOR3 that much.

It felt like that for me with the original SOR.
I can't wait to see the rest of your runs.
You've got a fan in me.lol
Oh, and of course SoR3 lets the player do specials without taking damage every few seconds, granting huge invincibility periods.
I would have gone back to Stage 6, and would have had to fight my way back up to him. The bad ending cannot be obtained with 1 player. It requires 2 players to choose opposite answers, with the one choosing "Yes" winning the resulting duel and beating Mr. X for his position.

Nice job hitting mr. X with the flying kick, I always time it wrong and fail.
Love to play streets of rage
No damage run? You got thrown by one of those two chicks, and did not take damage. That is suspicious.
There's a command where you can safely land back on your feet and not take damage. I did it myself. It's legal.
@@keith108871 oh really? Never heard of it. That is awesome. What is the command?
@@PsychoticLuke press up and c to avoid taking damage on throws
My respect
Great vid! Congrats!

@Thitavares Throws do a lot more damage than the back attack. The jump kick attack the twins do grants a good opportunity to grab them.
Good job!
By single segment you mean it was plaid from start to end with no breaks, right?
Ultimate challenge for you: same thing, but starting with 2 players and kill one of them ;P It would definitely be more interesting (even harder if you move all the way on each scene before fighting incoming punks)
Legend
@XeroShinobi for its time that has to be one of the best endings in a game
@VenusHeadTrap2 Not as close as you think. The Mr. X fight was a lot more nerve-wracking. And yes, this run is entirely legit.
nice Victory dance
As far as no damage is concerned, there isn't much difference between the US SoR3 and the Japanese BK3. The increased damage dealt by enemies is irrelevant, as I wouldn't be getting hit anyways.

Blaze... So deadly she can punch bullets out of the air. Nice work although this was tool assisted surely?
Hey Xero, just used your methods to finish my very own version... Granted on normal and tool assisted but it still felt like an accomplishment, thanks for uploading.
@gsaurus4
I am actually thinking of trying to do a 2P mode with 1 player playthrough of this game and I'm actually going to try to beat it without using special or getting hit. I have beaten it before without special but I got hit (and died) a lot so it may be a while before I do such a thing.
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
did you keep track of how many attempts it took you to do this without taking any damage?
@XeroShinobi I don't think bosses are that of a problem. You already took 2 clawmen on lvl7 1p. For 2 Abadedes you can use repetitive moves, for 2 bongos grab and beat one at a time, you can avoid the one that comes firing by vaulting over the one you're grabbing (invincible frames).

perfecto
4:36 FINISH HIM!!!
4:20 SWEET
With a good amount of practice, I think I could pull off a no damage SoR3 run, yeah. Don't count on it any time soon. Lol
ZEE
4:40 didn't nail the pose. Doesn't count. Restart
@azrial4421 You must not play Streets of Rage a lot. Tosses can be landed safely by pressing up and jump as one lands. I do it around a dozen times in the run.
Tbf i played this game a lot as a kid and i never knew this
Holy-F
😮
You crazy...
Close call at 0:37 You sure you didn't cheat? :)
Its not a speedrun if you dont use cops lol. And the game is so slow it must be a EU 50hrz version i guess cause X and galcias never move that slow
+Izumi kajiura Nah, it was 60hz. And clearly you've never heard of a parameter speed run before.
been a while i havent played that stage 8, honestly i feel like those galcias are on drugs xD I use the wrong warp now, parameter speedruns, like me doing sor trilogy speedrun where there is no category for this ? So you set up at your will, i just ask i have nothing against it i'm curious.
🕋🇸🇦
This is NOT hardest mode lol 🤣🤣🤣😏
How did you not take damage when you got thrown at 2:28
+Nero Sparda Pressing jump button
+Nero Sparda press up and jump and you land on feet, works with the other punk guys who throw you too
