This is the best beat’em up game of the 16 bit era hands down!!! Thanks for posting.

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.

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

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.

Brings back great memories from when I was 10! The boss music. Brilliant. As soon as it starts you know shit is getting serious.

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.

1:05:56 We'll be right back

The Max player is a noob. Use Max's slide to get in close, and grab from behind.

The friendly hit where you hit your teammate is the only I don't like.. Besides that everything is perfect. Classic game. Nostalgic💯

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.

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.

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

1:08:22 - Alex is landing on his feet, like a BOSS!

its a free life in the corner at the bottom of the screen surprised they missed that

Seems like final fight

Who remembers having sleep overs and playing this sonic and mortal kombat?

Axels the best by far 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

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.

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?

most notably flaw in this game is: you shouldn't be able to hit and take power away from your partner...

Tell Hell wit u Max😡🤣👌🏾

Oooooaaaaahhhh

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.

How did Axel basically “block” Barbons throws in the 1st stage?

@Faria88

Daniel Diaz Jr In the air, hold up+jump button

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.

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