Learn anything new from this video?
Thanks Paul and Aldo! I like Aldo’s interpretations on the moves and special attacks....most of them I knew 😄😄🤘🏽💪🏽
surprisingly yes!
William Moore Hopefully some of these tips will help you achieve new heights on the path to taking down Mr. X!
Lalita Kearnun Haha, thanks for the kind words, Lalita!
RETRO GAMING ARTS yes the jump and then hit your enemies over the knees combo was nice! I actually haven’t done that move lol
Never knew about the up+C while being thrown thing. Streets of Rage 2 was something me and my stepdad did constantly... and we even beat two player mania together.
Andrew Singleton right? Sounds like some good memorys, thanks for watching i was really happy with this video
Andrew Singleton Thanks for watching, Andrew! Might be cool to try SoR2 for old time's sake and get that throw recovery down pat!
Same
This kind of advice makes me appreciate this game even more
i'm so happy you watched this one, i'm very happy with how it came out and the info it had, most of it i didnt know lol, thank you
@@RETROGAMINGARTS any chance for a sequel video?
@@teddybeer6206 Aldo wants to do the exact same video but with Golden axe2, think thats a good idea?
@@RETROGAMINGARTS I'm all for it!
This is a concept you should do for various retro games. It's a relatively rare concept here and the geeky insight that I'm personally itching for.
I did also record a subsequent full playthrough with my running commentary. Not sure if that will ever see the light of day, though.
All depends on if Paul ever uploads it lol!
Also if you hold B for a couple of seconds then release, the character will perform the final move of their regular combo.
nickcorso82 oh man, thats whatsup. I love seeing everyone knew so much, great game so it makes sense
nickcorso82 Ahh yes, there's that, too! There's quite a bit of footage on the cutting room floor, so I'm pretty sure I mentioned it at one point during my raw play through haha
@oh... Not only that, but its the only way you can still move after your moves are locked out after the lever is over.
Try it. Hold B right after the boss dies for a second and then release it.
The speedrun guys do this constantly for style.
The double kick happened sometimes during a combo,but I can’t find the way to control it ! Weird how fast seems to be certain combo phases and some others pretty slow.
@@nosirrahx I always do this
Never knew any of these starts and have been playing this game for so long. Thank you so much Aldo. Aldo’s moves are gonna get me through this tough game.
Not a problem! There are people far, far better than me (Anthopants is the gold standard), but I'm glad you learned something here!
THANK YOU for this video! I just recently got a copy of Streets of Rage 2 and I did not know how to do any of these combos lol.
Yeeess!! Perfect! I'm happy this happened. It's a great game you'll love it. I'll be sure to show aldo this comment
I never knew he had a back punch. Mind blown.
My problem is beating the flying jet pack.
Jet? The easiest way to deal with him is to line him up with you on a horizontal plane - if you're far enough, he will always do his "Superman" flying fist charge at you. That's your chance to do a dropkick on him. Rinse and repeat for an easy win.
I had no idea how to do the uppercut with axel, it made the game so easy. I would do it randomly but not controlled. It makes all the bosses fairly easy. Thanks
I love this game because when you pair it with sonic & knuckles, you get this really fun blue sphere map
Currently playing SOR2 and just came on here to learn how to survive throws, never knew about the infinite punches!
That endless punch combo is awesome! Doesn't give the enemy a chance. Haha!
Holy carp! Thank you so much. I had no idea there was so much more to this amazing game!! 🙏😁
Thank you so much for checking out my other videos man, that means alot. And the fact that you enjoyed it. Thank you! I was really happy with how this one came out
Wow this was very informative! Thanks for the great vid guys!
getTekt Many Thank you, getTekt! There were more tips left on the cutting room floor, so I can definitely revisit this!
Love your thumbnail 😁
Thanks bro
💯
ooh that endless combo thing will come in handy. Also, thanks for reminding me about the counter to being thrown. This is one of these things I learned about when I used to play it, but totally forgot about it.
On a side note, I really wish there was an option to disable grabbing and hitting the other player. The other game I played recently, Rival Turf / Rushing Beat, isn't as good as SOR2, but I like that it has a "2 player hit" option.
Full lesson learned
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Super cool. I learned a lot more about combos from this. Super informative
Good man, im glad
@@RETROGAMINGARTS Me too. The funny thing is that after I watched this I was able to beat it on the hard difficulty. I think that if I want to try hardest or mania I'll do it with a friend or something because of the game breaking hand slap glitches you can do.
@@maxrichards5925 bro you beat it on hard? Niice you a boss. I've been playing alot of sengoku 3 lately, and dude... it's SO good. It's on par with SOR2 and 3. I really like Sor3 , if I can beat sengoku 3 I'll prob play sor3 after
@@maxrichards5925 you're a beast if you beat mania BTW
@@RETROGAMINGARTS Really? I'm putting that on my bucket list lol
Great video, Man Aldo makes this look eZZZZ
LOL RIGHT? he has it dialed in.. I'm not that good at this game
RETRO GAMING ARTS I wouldn’t mind co opting with Aldo 😁😁💕✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽 that’ll be fun one day when I can play video games with you guys 😄😄😄💕🤘🏽
jM[c]` Yo, I've legit played SoR2 like a thousand times
Broo thank you this video is a life saver I've been playing this game so wrong😂
I mean still can't get past stage 7 but I'm getting there
Pretty useful for those who doesn't have the manuals!!
Sometimes seeing it and hearing it helps
I did not know about the landing on your feet input. Don’t remember seeing it in the manual. That was a huge game changer.
Got me on the throw recovery. This was a game I played a lot, so I wondered what would be taught to me. :)
Derek Mellon it seems the throw recovery is the main thing getting people, atleast there was something lol, thank you for watching and i hope you enjoyed
RETRO GAMING ARTS would like to know if there were any level or boss tricks/tactics to learn.
Derek Mellon aldo pretty much just did infinite combo on every boss, he did have alot of tactics for how to beat each enemy but i left all of those out an just went with the moves, maybe a part 2 is in order
RETRO GAMING ARTS The infinite combo is a deadly one. Does it work on the boss from the amusement park? (floating head, can't remember the name)
Derek Mellon Yeah, I did a few neat things, like exploited an AI pattern on the Souther boss with Axel.
The floating head (Vehelits) is a bit of a pain, but the strategy with him is to do a dropkick on him, or your towards, towards + attack special move right before he hits you. Rinse and repeat and he should be defeated rather quickly.
Also, hidden 1UP right in the center of the floor - its hidden by fog!
I grew up playing Streets of rage 2 on my Sega game gear I never made it past the second level. I'm currently playing it again on switch online and I am already to level five 😁. I've noticed a few times when I press buttons a different moves happen so I try it again and it doesn't work so I instantly came to TH-cam to try and figure out how to be a boss this game thank you for your video 💪🏼
Niiice, I hope you learned a few things and can go and crush that game! It is dope. I had the first one for genesis as a kid and never beat it lol. I didn't even know there was a 2nd one until I was in my 20s
Didn't know about the throw recovery.
And I'm not sure, if it worked in SoR2, but definitely in SoR3 you could free youself from backgrab by pressing jump one or two times and then pressing attack button, so you only needed to use special attack (A) for frontal grabs.
Thats dope, ima tell aldo about that. Thanks for watching this video. It's one of my favorites
@@RETROGAMINGARTS i just watched "Streets of Rage 2 by Anthopants in 46:45 - GDQx 2019", and they said that this feature was present in SoR 1 and SoR 3, but absent in SoR 2 :)
Yes, nice video. Have you ever considered a new one on SoR 3 or 4?
Ah interesting, good to know. Yea, we wanted to do 1 and 3, aldos been playing 4. I haven't seen him in 2 months cuz of the quarantine but I really want to make more of these.
@@VasiliyLim Yeah, in SoR2 you would use the special attack for the Bikers that grab you from behind, or from bosses that grab you like R. Bear or Shiva. Shame the special attack in SoR4 no longer has that "panic button" functionality to get your out of jams in the way SoR2 did.
@@AldoAraujo85 totally agree! feels unnatural, that you cannot interrupt your strings and have to commit to every "grand upper" or combo finisher. on the other hand, their new special system allows for special spams, but it feels cheap sometimes.
Axel's "useless kick" C-Jump no direction if I'm remembering correctly it's a triple hit and his most damaging attack. Best used on the Fly Jet Boss
Thx for this I just got a retro SEGA console for Christmas it has 40 games and streets of rage 2 is one of my favourites I play with my dad and I have been trying to master the special moves cause I find it very hard to play on one player mode I normally play as “skate” and I know most of his moves and stuff but yer thx
Axel: hold attack. Release attack axel does a double kick.
I knew all of these moves from the genesis days
I have a tip for you guys if you hold down attack as axel and release it you will do a two kick combo
So that was left on the cutting room floor - not sure why, but I definitely did mention it!
Many of the tricks I never knew about; when I got my hands on this game all I wanted to do was play it and beat it. I play it once a year since 2010.
It defiantly deserves a yearly play through, I really hope you enjoyed this one michael, I dont do too much gameplay style videos, so it's nice to switch it up here and there
Michael Aranda I can safely say that I've played SoR2 about a thousand times so far. And it NEVER gets old ✌
@@RETROGAMINGARTS yearly play? Nah. I play it EVERY DAY!!!!!!!!!!
Jab, Jab, Grand Upper with Axel = Win. That move is so OP its ridiculous.
Appreciate the tips brara..🙏🏻🙏🏻
Nice!
I've got a question: it's possible that in the USA version, landing from a throw, you must press up+jump+kick?
I have all the bottoms well configurated and up+jump doesn't work.
In the Europe version does.
Thanks for the information. 👍
So many great memories for this game! And great for co opting 😄😄✌🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 it’s hard to beat it on your own but co opting is easier 😘😘🙏🏽
Lalita Kearnun hey lalita! I feel you. Lots and lots of fond memories with this one, i played more of the first one as a kid, but my life long friend had 2 as a kid, so we played both going to eachothers houses doing co op!
Lalita Kearnun Actually, the game is harder on 2-player because enemy count is increased, and friendly fire is an annoyance that can happen more often than not - you and your partner can hurt each other!
Aldo Araujo lol! I just message you hahaaa actually I preferred co opt Bc I can’t beat part two as the only first player like the enemies gang up on me and all hell breaks loose lol!
Aldo Araujo maybe one day I’ll have the honor to play with you somehow lol!
Lalita Kearnun Which difficulty you play on? You can always bump down the difficulty if you find it too overwhelming. Also, playing as Axel is your safest bet, as he has the best move priority over everyone else
Man got skills
LOL RIGHT?
@gsimatty Thanks! I've played this game more often than I would like to admit lol
I actually knew about all those tricks except for the safe landing trick when thrown. I wonder how much of that was in the game's instruction manual. I'd definitely love to see more tips for games like Streets of Rage. It's especially handy now with the new Sega Genesis Collection for consoles coming out tomorrow.
honestly, that timing with the genesis collection... (not planned) but hopefully it works out... lol, and omg you just made me want to get this game cib to look in the manual to see how much of this was there!
Jonny Mullen i just read the whole manual, its all in there wow.. really just made me miss instruction manuals.. the only thing it didnt tell you was the throw recovery
Elkplaysandpaints Hey Elijah! Glad I could provide some help - the safe throws really are a big help, and are great when you're thrown into a crowd, as it hurts everyone except you!
In Streets of rage 2 if you use the jump kick axel does on the level 2s boss the jetpack guy as he is flying towards you it takes less hits to defeat him
the one I like doing is the glitched grand upper that slides backwards, but the timing isn't that easy ->,->, B+
Lou Ginko I've done that on quite a few ocassions, but was never able to consistently pull it off. It is good for a laugh, and good for rear crowd control lol
Indeed :) I actually play mostly only Axel, so I'm curious if it's doable with the other characters ^^
I think I did Blaze's vertical slash attack like this a few times, but no way to confirm it.
cool, I'll give it a shot next time I play :)
Good clip and explanations as well. Do you have a video about playing as Max?
Aldo loves max, I'm going to get him to do one with max after quarantine is over
@@RETROGAMINGARTS Thanks! Please contact me when the video is made.
@@ReddDevil1982 Max is currently my fave character. Alas, we didn't film a playthrough with Max.
If you check out my page, I do have a personal playthrough I did with Max, if that may be of any help to you.
Uff needed this, unable to get past stage6, grand uppers a great move, less button bashing now 😅
You missed the hidden 1up in the bottom corner of the first level. Get down and to the left as far as you can, pick it up.
Oh yea? Ill be sure to tell aldo
Bro, a lot of stuff in this video I already knew it's official I Mastered this game
This video was so helpful
I new all of that but the infinite punch 👊 ill be useing that lol
When your main asset is speed, you play every game
Thank you so much
Can you do Max? I feel like he has weird secret moves that I’ve accidentally done but cannot replicate.
One thing you didn't mention was that the special hold break attack depletes a small portion of your health.
Full disclosure: this 8-minute video was spliced down from a full playthrough Paul recorded of me.
It certainly was mentioned, though unfortunately it was put on the chopping block when it was edited.
Your special attack (A button) does damage you, but only if A.) The attack connects with an enemy, or B.) You input a direction + special button.
In SoR3, this is mitigated somewhat, as you have a bar that, when filled, allows you a "free" special attack that does not damage you.
Thanks for the comment!
Great video but you didnt address how to finish the combo with the high kick. I do this on accident somehow sometimes, but the full combo for Axel is jab, jab, cross, mid level sidekick, high kick. But most of the the time he just ends it on the mid level sidekick. Any idea how to make him end it on the high kick every time? Its just random luck when I do it right.
Combo is about timing. It's more of a sequential tap - if you tap the attack button too quickly, it'll bypass the last kick. For further clarification, here's a GameFAQs excerpt:
"Thanks to the magic of emulators with frame advance I now know how the last two kicks work. The only factor is WHEN you push the button. There is a two-frame window when your arm retracts from the third hit. (2 frames is 0.033 seconds on NTSC, and 0.04 seconds on PAL.) If you push earlier, there will be no kick at all (but you can push again) If you push on either of these two frames, both kicks will be performed. If you push later, only one kick will be performed. TIP: Practice the timing, this single last kick is the difference between beating up dozens of enemies one or two times".
@@AldoAraujo85 Thanks man. I actually kind of figured it out on my own after some practice, but its cool to know the exact frames and everything
actually thespinny leg attack is usful against the jets
It can be used against the Jets, but I prefer the standard dropkick myself.
Yeah I knew all this. Most of it is in the manual.
Word I might have to snag that Sega Genesis Collection tomorrow and give it a whirl
snag it for your genesis, 100x better
or do whatever makes you happy lol
PushThatWood93...Does it have Sonic the original and if so is it the American dream R Japanese version? The Japanese version is much better.
PushThatWood93 Yeah boi! Let me teach you all about that SoR2 frame data
Good Video!! Thanks
Thanks, Tom! Was there anything here that you did not know about previously?
@@AldoAraujo85 I'm new to this game and I've been asking google how to play so I knew most stuff. I didn't know about the jump knee move and I couldn't figure out the grand upper move for some reason. You guys cleared that up too! Appreciate it. Lots of information for new players here
@@retroplayuk That's really awesome - I'm glad to hear my tips helped you out! With SoR2, practice makes perfect!
@@AldoAraujo85 Yeah I think I need to practice a lot more! Were you any good at it when you first played? I find it pretty difficult. SoR1 Is easy in comparison I think
@@retroplayuk Not at all! I was around 7 years old when I first played - the repetition of playing with my cousins gradually honed my skills to the point where the game became easy to me (still infinitely fun, though!)
during the fight at 4:52, what i would do was grab electra and toss her back and forth across the screen. she cant hit you with her whip if you move up and down the screen
Thank you so much!!!
Glad you liked it
My favorite game
Do these work on PS3 as well? What do the B and C buttons correspond to on the PS3 version?
Not sure, depends how you got your controller setup, I would assume square is a, x is b, and circle is c. But they're programmed into the game so they should work no matter how your playing it
1:20
Axel`s designer to Sega when designing Axel: So here we add a bandana to his head, turn his shoes from yellow & white to red & white and a pair of boxing gloves, and no one will figure out *anything!*
Aldo: *I`m about to end this mans whole career*
alternative title : drums tutorial
Excellent moves aldo, the animations were incredible Paul...makes me want to play this what's price range on finding a copy
Paco Daddy luckily this game can be found loose for like 6-12 bucks last i saw, CIB will be like 25-30. And paco. I know what you mean, editing this video made me want to play it SO bad!! Glad you enjoyed this one, i really like the way it came out
Paco Daddy Thanks, Paco! I'm glad to hear people are enjoying the video!
wait neutral kick is pretty cool because its the only jump kick that can hit twice
Have you forgetting that axle's not the only returning character ?
Tu peut montrer comment faire une attaque avec blaze stp elle fait un salto en avant et c’est super utile mais jsp comment le faire stp
3:14 Streets of Rage 2 on the R-Zone, but yellow.
The infinite punch in this game doesn't have to only be with one punch, if you time it right you can do it with 2
Yeah, just as long as you stop before it gets to the knockback move.
I want to get into this game but i just find it so hard to get anywhere in it everything feels so sluggish and slow
What system are you playing on? If its an original genesis you should overclock your genesis🤣
What beat 'em ups are you used to? Odd you say it's slow, as SoR2 is pretty universally praised for its mechanics.
b+c+down sweep floor attack
+1
Never do that rythem - Boom boom boom 😆
No one ever got good cheesing the game, challenge yourself!
What is d signal though
In beg of stage 7
I always thought it looked more like an 'O' so I called him Olive Signal because his jacket does look Olive Green.
What about blaze knife 3 hit combo
Please do a Skate tricks and tricks
I do want to cover more of the series, aldo knows this game alot more than what we did in this video
@@RETROGAMINGARTS trying to prepare for streets of rage 4 and would like to get good lol. Hopefully some of what I learn here could be used there
o man I didn't know about that infinite combo punch thing
Clever about the Y signal thing. Must have made it easier in programing the enemies
Didn't know about up and C when getting thrown either
Thanks Master Aldo Ill have to try and remember these. I played through a couple weeks ago the Streets of Rage 2 hack with TMNT characters, which are overpowered since they always have a weapon ha
I really want to try some of those SoR2 hacks out there, there's alot of them, saw one with street fighter characters the other day lol
Thanks for watchin russ, i was really happy with the way this one turned out
Russ Lyman Aww, thanks Russ! The infinite combo is great on singling out "mini boss" characters, as you could take them down without receiving any damage ✌
Hello everyone, today I discovered a cheat for infinite lives in Streets of Rage 2. I’ll be uploading the evidence soon!
How to master Streets of rage 2? Anthopants.
No argument there!
I want to know more sensei
Well get aldo back for more
Any particular questions you had?
How to beat the guys on bikes?
Aka "How To Uses Glitches To Cheat"
Yo Idk if the video talks about this, but with multiple characters you can use jab 1 to keep some enemies in hitstun for a free kill combo.
This is great if you wanna save some health if you're new to the game.
Yup! I do mention the "infinite" combo - it's all about timing, but a great technique to isolate enemies with high HP!
Its Actually "GrandPapa" opposed to "GrandUpper" my friend, i all ways used to think its "Grab The Part" "Lols" not in a rude way though but a pain full way, that Electras gonna have bruised grey tits, the game was a bit rude a bit dirty but it was nice if you was Axcel you could forward grab Blaze and press jump and you would grab her A Uhmmm you know what i mean bits, a help full hint on mania you have to manipulate A I with Axcel if you hold B you would do a side scissors kick, good review, this game is a legend
Came for new information and wasted my 8 minutes. You're not an OG if you don't know these stuffs in a first place.
Wasted? The quality of the video and the passion aldo has for streets of rage 2 wasn't enjoyable at all?
@@RETROGAMINGARTS it was actually but that's not the reason I came here unfortunately :/
I should make aldo do a round 2 of this video, he really knows this game inside and out. I wanted to make a video of all the different rom hacks of streets of rage 2. Ive found 72 so far.. lol
@@RETROGAMINGARTS man, that would be awesome. Please do it.
IMO, the "master" part in the video's description isn't the best wording to use for this video, as it's more of a general guidelines for strats that will help you along the way, but nothing too deep like exploiting enemy AI.
That being said, it was an eye-opener to see so many people that were not privy to things like the throw recovery - so primer vids like these definitely serve a purpose.
