My actual legal name is Blaze Fielding, and I approve of this video.

Streets of Rage 2 on Mania Difficulty = Best of the streets of rage entire series

Agreed. The soundtrack ALONE is worthy of a "play it loud" go!

The answer is yes, easily. Best Beat Em Up of all time! The one thing it gets VERY right that others fail at is the sound design. You can almost feel the impact of the punches & kicks due to the fantastic sound design! This is something even Streets of Rage 4 got wrong... The new Dev didn't quite get it. Some devs are unaware of just how essential the sound design is for a Beat Em Up, specifically the sounds of your attacks when they connect.

Soundtrack on this game hasnt been matched since. Goat

I've always been on team nintendo, but streets of rage 2 is definitely the best beat em up I've ever played. A true masterpiece.

The streets of Rage series is the BEST beat em up of all times, been my favorite since i played on genesis and to this day i play the series on my playstation via the sega genesis collection and 4

I was 14 when I got the first Streets of Rage after about a year of playing it I can remember walking into my local Virgin Megastores and seeing Streets of Rage 2 set up on a TV, the transition was so amazing seeing how the game had evolved in such a big way, the games legendary in every way and still is one of the best beat em ups ever made

I was 10 y.o when this game was released, when I saw a kid playing it on my local video game store I shit my pants, I thought that it was a game for a new console and then I realised it was for the mega drive, i played a lot of the first and this was so different and looked so much better it just amazed me, to this day i can't believe how sega pulled this one and made it run on the mega drive, it really is the beat'em up goat

Its damn flawless.

I see SOR2 , I click, I like

Let’s not forget that SoR2 gave Blaze pantyhose to wear after the admired legs of Chun-Li. Just another aspect they used from Street Fighter II. Why they lost those is beyond me, but it’s great that mods have addressed that in their impressive work on an already amazing game in SoR4.

This was one of those games that made me proud to be the only one to own a Mega Drive. Because all my SNES friends wanted to play it and they could only play it at my house.

I still play Streets of Rage 2 and it’s still the goat 30 years later and when I started collecting Mega Drive games 8 years ago, Streets of Rage 2 was the first game I bought back and it’s not only one of the greatest games of all time, it’s the best Mega Drive game.

With your personality and the quality of content you put out , You should have 10 times the amount of subscribers you You should have 10 times the amount of subscribers you do. Love you man keep up the great work

Sonic 2, and this game is on another level. I honestly wish they hadn't abandoned the franchise for so long. But I'm happy it came back.

Will never forget the day of release and the shock of how amazing it played on Genesis compared to actual arcade games at the time.

All facts. Very rare to have an urge for some beat em up games and automatically think of Streets of Rage 2 to scratch that itch!

When I bought this game all my sisters kept coming into my room and playing it constantly, and they hated video games, they blazed the music out loud, they only game to have urban, soul to soul like beats throughout. This is truly the Greatest game ever! everything came together, my Nintendo mates looked at me in envy. I remember playing the demo videotape that came with Mean Machines magazine constantly. Great video!!

I believe III had some unfinished motorcycle levels, Which would have been amazing.

The soundtrack alone is enough

Fun fact: a not so well known YT series I watched has the main character obsessed with this game

Streets of Rage 2 is definitely the number one beat em brawler of all time. I still even play this being in my 40s. I remember I beg and pleaded with my parents to buy my a Sega Genesis just for this game alone.

I love booting up some SOR 2 bring back some great memories

Amazing video I learned a lot, cheers!

I miss the 90's!

I love the music, im 38 and its still one of the best md games

How was Final Fight SNES not 2 players? What a fail.

Love your channel ,can u show more abscure fighting games bro ,u the best channel

Please do videos on the two D&D beat em ups, the bouncer, urban reign, mortal kombat shaolin monks, the scott pilgrim vs the world game, dragon's crown, & mighty morphin power rangers mega battle

Super Double Dragon and Streets of Rage 2 are some of the best side scrolling beat em ups of all time

Love the Streets of Rage series.

The streets of Rage series is awesome it's been my favorite since 2022 hopefully I'll buy it and play it to see what's it about

This was the 1st game I bought when I got my Sega Genesis. I loved this game!! I was 19 and Axel was the toughest,I always hoped to see him in a fighting game

22 minutes of straight facts. SoR 2 will always be one of the greatest games of all time🏆

♥️BLAZE♥️

Only cartridge I ever burnt out

You guys should check out the Steets of Rage 2 syndicate mod on fightcade

Go Straight is one of my favourite level music of all time. ❤️

Any else notice that kid in the commercial Is fuller.

That's how it is. Street of Rage 2 is the best beat 'em up ever.

Ahhh man you ate my apple. Now you have fight most of the enemies now. Lol

Marvel is Capcom collection on the switch and other consoles will be out what's your thoughts top hat gaming man?

Been my favorite game of all time since I was born.

I think Streets of Rage 2 shares the title of best Mega Drive game together with Shinobi 3.

It just doesn't get any better than SoR2

Knuckleroos Knuckleroos you don't just eat your Knuckleroos

Love Streets of Rage 2 especially the soundtrack.

Every aspect of this game strikes a balance in terms of gameplay, sound, graphics and replayability. Is it the best on the Mega Drive in every catagory? I'd say it's probably the sound that stands out, as other Mega Drive games feature better gameplay, graphics and replayability, but only Streets of Rage II scores highly in all four.

Wouldn't it be nice if they released the game again with modern graphics all 3 , music is epic too ! 90's classic stuff

Yep 😊

GOATED.

12:45 - Blitz attacks don't reduce the life bar.

I still play it

Streets of Rage I and II...greatest Fighting Games of them all. And as for Yuzo Koshiro....MvP!!

The soundtrack.

Another reason why the JP Sega Megadrive is my favourite console of all time..

Love this game.

I have more playtime in SOR2 via Sega Classics on Steam than SOR4 on Steam, there's just no besting it for me. On the NeoGeo it'd be SamSho2 that's never getting old, boring, grey, long in the tooth.

🎉

It just hit me that I don’t think you’ve ever done a video on Justice League Task Force. Not that it was a great game but I’m just surprised about it.

Tech dweeb did a video recently with guests from about 7 or 8 other retro channels. I left him a comment asking where Top Hat Gaming Man was, and if he was leaving your appearance til the next in the series, Expendables style?! I'm hoping he hits you up, cos like you he does his content 'In character'.

I got all three games on my xbox one.

Greatest brawling game, sure, the greatest Sega game, I think that's too much.

idk i hated that they removed adam in place of skates.

I'm sorry to say that your stages numerotation is all wrong... Still great video tho, as always :)

Officially yes, it's one of the greatest. Unofficially, I'd put Streets of Rage Remake over any game in the series, since it's all the games (minus 4) in one game.

Most people have fond memories of it because it was their experience on that system. Much like Call of Duty 4. Same thing. When you look back now? It's really not that great.

Sor2 < Sor1< SOR3

Bring back Skate 😌

It is the GOAT

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Known as what in Japan? :p

It's the best streets of rage game

I’d argue Streets of Rage 3 is the GOAT. Playing Skatez and the Doc was cool

I still like Streets of Rage 1 over part 2.

Streets of Roids 2

I was just playing as axel sor2 in survival mode it was horrible

I really do like your content, but I cannot in good conscience keep watching it. The AI artwork on the thumbnails is just so off-putting to an artist like me who grew up being inspired by Street Fighter and KOF artists. I hope your channel can make enough money to hire real artists and make great pieces of original artwork as there are many amazing artists in the community who love to illustrate the characters in the franchises you talk about so much.

Same as the first. There was no need for a Streets of Rage trilogy.

4 is better.

As unpopular an opinion as it may be, I think Final Fight is far and away the best beat 'em up ever released. SoR2 is kind of tacky and tries too hard to be interesting. SoR original was a lot more faithful to the genre, it being about street brawling and little else. Final Fight has better graphics, designs, mechanics, gameplay and is genuinly a tightly made game, it is clear why SFII evolved from it. The crowd controls and chain mechanics are soberly applied. In SoR2 it's all over the place. The moves are flashy but make little sense. etc. etc. etc. I was a big fan when SoR2 came out but came to realise that it was only pretending to be doing what FF and DD before it where actually doing for real. And SFC version of FF is home port panacea. If the game in terms of authentic challenge is what matters. I don't mind being the only one who feels this way. Each to their own

Street of rage 2 is overrated the real street of rage fans knwo street if rage 3 was the best

Streets of rage 2 WAS the greatest tii Stress of rage 4. Streets of Rage 4 is now the greatest beat em up of all time.

Streets of Rage 4 is too woke.

It's not that great....... YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
