Is it a good game?
Yes
BKIII is better>but muh challeng-SoR3 is like a bad romhack with fucked up balance
>>11424189There seems to be an endless debate over this.I want to be perceived as a hardcore gamer though, so I will play SoR3 and not BKIII
>>11424189What this poster said. So spbp
>>11424189This.
what’s his issue
>>11424931Why did SoA censor this? It was just a joke
It's solid. Horrid final boss though.
>>11424161better movement and combat mechanics, worse enviroments and music. Few cool beats though. Dance club theme and Samurai boss fight themes are catchy as fucks. Kind of lack the chaotic desperation theme of fighting mr x first time as well.Most of everything else is forgettable.
>>11424161No. Bare Knuckle 3 is, though.
So it's good or bad?
>>11424161If you like your ears destroyed by a nonstop onslaught of noise masquerading as music, sure.
>>11424189Came here to post this.
>>11424161SoR was always a mediocre beat 'em up. It's great only for its soundtrack at the first two games. The soundtrack at the 3rd one is trash.SoR mostly sold because it was a poor man's Final Fight since Mega Drive couldn't handle Final Fight while SNES could.
bait reply is bait
>>11424161No.It's a great game.
>>11425240It was a joke made at their expense. SOA was in San Francisco. SOJ did it on purpose to get at them.
>>11426929Can't they handle the banter?>>11426924JP or US ver?
>>11424189no one will debate you over thisthe same thing happened to a much larger degree to contra hard corps but the fanboys defend that one
>>11426848>SoR mostly sold because it was a poor man's Final Fight since Mega Drive couldn't handle Final Fight while SNES could.Smoking something or just shit bait? Final Fight would have been a perfect game to play to genesis strengths. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EunWu0I75D0
Any defender of the train level?
>>11424161The japanese version is hands down, the best in the series and probably the best 2D beat-em-up.
>>11427064*And it drives me insane that when they made SOR4, they ignored all of the improvements that BK3 brought to the series. They just chucked it all under a bus and pretended like it didn't exist.Going from BK3 to SOR4 is like driving on the highway at 120KM/h and then reaching a city and having to slow down to 60. It just feels fucking wrong.
>>11426997It's just a tad overlong but I consider it the most atmospheric level in the entire game
>>11424161it's a good game that's a sequel to a fantastic game so it seems worse
>>11427070How do you manage the trains? Do you just roll up and down? I started just using the special attack for iframes if I see I won't be able to dodge it but it still gots me from time to time, and getting hit by it takes like 1/3 of the life bar wtf
>>11427078You can see which side the tram will appear on by the extra vibration motion. Prepare in advance and get out of the way, if enemies don't let you, use the special.
>>11426997>>11427070I'd like to hear the reason why if we're talking about the one with one railroad with the ninjas.
>>11427331The trains come every couple seconds and get in the way of fighting. If you get hit, they tale 1/3 of the health bar so get hit 3 times and you will lose a life. I still haven't been able to beat the level without using a life because of the trains, not the enemies.
>>11427331I'm just talking about the entire stage, for me 4-1 is the best music in the game, 4-2 is a very atmospheric tune, and the rarity of being underground levels, I don't know, I like the vibe a ton. I also enjoy the boss fight in that one and the music while more experimental again, it's a tune that gets stuck in the head. As for 4-2, this is the way to deal with it
>>11427946Yeah I just leave the game on until the AI fucks up and hear those "yaaaaah", though it takes a while
>>11426848>Mega Drive couldn't handle Final Fight while SNES couldlolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23OEi2xhELk
What's the best strategy to deal with enemies that block a lot?
>>11428040Ah yes, another retard who doesn't realize programming knowledge and tools make things infinitely easier 30 years later
>>11429303Grapple them or keep pummeling them, at one time they'll stop blocking. Alternatively throw other enemies at them, they can't block those
>>11426982Why is the Japanese version of Contra Hard Corps better?
>>11429881It's not, but it has a lifebar
>>11429881It's better if you suck at video games and don't know how to get good
>>11429869
If people pride themselves on playing the harder, unbalanced versions of games..Does that mean I can play WD games without feeling guilty?
>>11429907Go play kaizo mario if you want shitty romhacks that ruin the original game.
>>11426848>Mega Drive couldn't handle Final Fightgood one that's pretty funny
>>11429907>It's better if you suck at video games and don't know how to get goodmy point exactly. people will bitch about SOR3 but then say "but contra is supposed to be impossible"its a weird elitism
>>11426848>since Mega Drive couldn't handle Final Fightfinal fight got it's own port on sega cd that destroys the snes version, including 5 enemies on screen instead of 3even final fight 3 snes rarely exceeds more than 3 enemies on screen
>>11427067The really weird thing is, all of the SoR3 characters are in the game, and retain all of their controls and options. Dashes, up and down lateral dashes, I think they're missing the air-specials and that's it? And so what? I've got the Roo the Kangaroo, your opinion is invalid.
its alright
>>11426848Tell me you know nothing about vidya without telling me you know nothing about vidya
>>11430964You're likely replying to bait, as all the other anons did. But, Final Fight was on Sega CD, not Genesis.I think Genesis could have handled FF no problem but it never happened.Am I the only one who likes Final Fight and Streets of Rage trilogies, console wars be damned?
>>11426848>The soundtrack at the 3rd one is trash.no, its the best
>>114268483 has the best gameplay and ostNice bait tho
>>11430415>including 5 enemiesWrong 4>that destroys the snes versionIdk it came out 3 years later on a shitty peripherals and had shitty bugs exclusive to the Sega cd version, it's worthless today as it's just the arcade but worse, the sfc one was more like a lite version
>>11427067They were going to have running at some point but decided against it for balance reasons. Something to do with all the characters playing too similar.
>>11431234damn???

>>11426848You have offended my family, and you have offended a Shaolin Temple.
>>11431232>redbook audio soundtrack>time attack mode>lets you map special moves to a separate buttonbut sure, let's celebrate the dogshit snes version
>>11432675>lets you map special moves to a separate buttonthat's cheating and also available on the sfc version, retard>redbook audio soundtrackpretty shitty arrange overall>time attackpathetic compensation for an otherwise lackluster, dry and overdue arcade port, the sfc one was a decent standalone like mighty final fight
Now that I think of it... How are the Game Gear versions of SoR?? Was 3 ever released for GG??
>>11426848>Mega Drive couldn't handle Final Fight while SNES could.That's why they cut content out of the game, and made it run like frozen molasses right?
>people KEEP replying to old baitYou niggers love your console wars huh
>>11432780>the sfc one was a decent standalonerolento isn't even in it. he's the most iconic boss, they made him a SFA2 characterwhat are you smoking?
I can already make it to robot mr. x but I lose too many lives during the previous levels and reach him with only 1 or 2 lives left, still haven't beaten him.Need to get better at stages 4 and 5, the train level still fucks me up.
>>11426848I enjoy both but something about Final Fight is just built different that I just love coming back to it, the setting that no other game captures and addictive gameplay is what draws me back to it every time
>>11433673You can cheese Mr. X with a pattern strat but won't say anything, let's see if you can figure it out
>>11434202Rolling up and down trying to dodge his mg shots and attacking while he laughs?I kind of improvised that strat before he killed me with the little hp I had left
>>11434241nope, it's not that one
>>11434260Alright, I'll see if I can figure it out. Thanks! Is it possible to beat him without using this cheese strat you mention? Without wasting lives.
>>11434272I think there's a more advanced strat for speedrunning but I don't think there are more beyond those two, that let you beat him in time for the good ending
>>11434286I just beat him by mostly spamming grandupper, though he still took me a live
>>11434963What I do is hit him once using a special or something when he's moving around, then get away horizontally, he'll try to come back by flying at you but you can get him into a pattern with jump attacks then. Keep doing that until you deplete his 496029760246 lifebars.
OP here. Still haven't beaten it but I think I'm close to finally learning the game.I would say it's a good game, I keep coming back to it.2 is still a more enjoybale run overall, but 3's more control options really make it fun to play even if the levels aren't too good. Enemy variety is ok, Yamato is a really cool boss fight (maybe my favorite in the series), and I like most of the music, I get why people don't like it but to me it's interesting.
Redpill on the special moves?
>>11438927You can perform them by gaining enough points without losing a life via forward forward + B, or via command input with a 6 button controller. For example with Axel, try pressing X and then do a backwards-forwards half circle motion. Check the movelist from any faqs or JP manual scans.
What does /vr/ think about Streets of Rage 4? I only just played it a few days ago for the first time and beat it a couple of times. I actually am a bit disappointed with it and find the Genesis era games to all be better. Including the first game. I still do like the game. Its at least fun but I can't see myself returning to it over and over like the old games.
Mike Matei beat the US version of this game on stream, and didn't knew some basics (such as pressing up+jump to avoid damage when thrown).Possibilities of it being pre-recorded TAS stuff? IIRC he was caught doing something like that before
>>11426974PANTSU, PANTSU!
>>11424161Did she break her neck or what.
>>11433796I'm a SEGAbro since my childhood but Capcom beat em ups > Streets of RageCapcom perfected the formula from the jump and remade it repeatedly with different IP
>>11440708It's fine for what it is. The survival mode in the DLC that adds EVERYBODY from the previous games (aside from Ash, I guess) adds a lot of replayability to it. Sadly they nerfed some of the more broken characters.SoR2 Skates for instance had the ability to just spindash entire crowds into a corner via continuous Blitz Attacks and combo hit them to oblivion, with the other players tossing fresh meat into his stack. Effectively turning him into some kind of living engine of butchery.Yeah, they took that out sadly.Roo can still kinda do it though.
>>11443552True, but SoR2 is still a very very good example of the genre, and untouchable for it's time. But yes, CPS2 era Capcom was churning out absolute bangers in this genre: AvP, Caddilacs & Dinosaurs, Battle Circuit, Armored Warriors and don't even get me started on their Dungeons and Dragons games. SoM remains one of the most complex and in depth arcade games ever made. Perhaps with good reason, but the achievement stands.
>>11443515Some SoR artwork is just terrifying like that.
>>11443993>AvPThat game might be the best ever in the genre but its lack of port will forever diminish it
>>11443993>cps2 eraFF alone is better than any SoR, SoR3 was their best attempt tho
>>11443996I like this art.
Why has no one ever ported SoR's music to PC trackers?
Not as good as 2 but 3 is at least better than most console beat 'em ups of the time. Granted, that isn't saying too much. The music is a big step down. The special system is trash because the meter fills too quickly so there's no tension. You'll never feel the need to use a second special in the time it takes for the meter to refill. Its biggest fault is the glacial stage pacing.
>>11424161did you rage?in the streets?3?then STFU
>>11445945 Streets of rage: martin Lawrence edition
>>11424161It's better than these - W6GYC-5WBGK-P0VCYWA4TR-DI74V-6DDQY
>>11446207So what vidya are these? I don't wanna' clog up my backlog.
>>11446224don't remember now. Some retro inspired thing I think, that's why I posted them in VR
>>11446224oh actually, I do remember now. Phantasmagoria 1 & 2 if noone has claimed them
>>11445945>oh you say you're a Streets of Rage fan?>ok, name three streets that make you angry
>>11447295Easy...>Gay St>Wall Street>Elm St
Got to Stage 6's boss for the first time. Holy shit these jets are even worse than the sor2 ones. I was happy thinking he was only a cameo after the Shiva fight, but no, of course they had to be in the game. Best strategy? How do you avoid them grabbing you??
>>11443552>>11443993>>11444161I disagree SOR > FF for sure. The best version of FF is the arcade one which you weren't going to be able to take home with you until emulation became a thing. The sequels were also just not as good or memorable compared to the SOR games. So really its just the first FF that is on the level of the SOR games but I feel it falls short of being as good as SOR 2 and 3. Probably even SOR1 desu. I get SOR1 is the most simplistic but I think its a fine video game for what it is and its soundtrack is praised way more than FF.
>>11449582only american segatards put SOR that high, no one gives a shit about sor in its homeland while FF is the SF2 of beat 'em ups.By the year sor3 came out Capcom moved on to so many more interesting things already (D&D, Powered Gear, Knights of the Round, Alien vs Predator etc).
>>11424931He needed that white guy rizz but Axel had to keep it straight.
>>11426974Images that you can smell from a mile
>>11424161Can someone remind me what is the genre style of music this game goes for again? I like the soundtrack a lot even though its very different from the previous games. I actually think the better tracks for SOR3 are on par with the best from SOR1 and SOR2.
>>11450997listen to minimal detroit techno from the mid-late 90s, it's similar
>>1145099790s german/japanese techno
Yeah but even the good JP version isn't as good as SoR2, despite the new movement tech that very nearly makes it objectively better in my mind. Soundtrack is underrated and misunderstood.also--I have no idea what people see in Final Fight. Streets of Rage has everything going for it, whereas I feel like I would lump Final Fight in with any 7 or 8/10 beat 'em up from the early 90s. It's good, but I have no insights as to what makes someone a Final Fight person. The chibi one on NES is pretty neat though.
>>11451013idk man I don't see that comparison. The Detroit guys were like late-period acolytes of Kraftwerk, they were very prim and closed off and snooty. UMC black kids. SoR3 is generative and crazy.
>>11452754See >>11449609 SoR2 got like 25/40 on famitsu lol
>>11452803How do Japanese magazine writers from the 1990s invalidate anything, or anyone? Am I worried about ponying 9000 yen down at the Yotabashi Camera?
>>11452820It indeed proves how irrelevant sor is when yuros and poorfags aren't involved
>>11452836I'm glad you feel so validated by Famitsu, one of the most respectable gaming publications around. Clearly everyone in history has been wrong and some onion-breath chink received sole divination on this false mega classic.
>>11452845>thinking yuros and poorfag have a say in superior japanese gaminglol seethe
>>11452803Look I like Famitsu and all but they've always disliked action games>waaaaaa this is TOO HARD!!! >but instead check out DQ CLONE #3546, this is the greatest game ever!!!
>>11452987cope
>>11453012Nice goalpost move there
>>11452758Listen to Robert Hood and you'll see the similarities. Which is why I said MINIMAL detroit techno, not just detroit techno which engulfs many different vibes
>>11453048>yuropoor schizo still grasping at straws
>>11453645>everyone is WRONG about this game >except me and FamitsuI respect your retarded convictions, it shows integrity
