This game is considered one of if not the best genesis game and this just shows how dogshit the genesis is with its exclusives. Every other 16 bit beat em up mogs it. Final Fight, specifically 3 has more enjoyable attacks, turtles in time and all of konamis games just feel fun and fluidMeanwhile THIS TRASH FUCKING GAME IS SO FUCKING SLOW. Enemies have such insane movement and feel even more dangerous over more fast paced beat em ups yet you have nothing. They fucking cheat whenever they want and decide not to get damaged and you just have to eat their attacks because the game felt like cheating. Throws just feel completely random and against tougher bosses its just a dice throw. Its frustrating and the elite fights make this game not fun in the late gameIts completely carried by its presentation and music which is the best of its genre but underneath it is a garbage feeling sluggish game where you can barely move and dodge anythingstyle over substance. Fuck this game, the super nintendo clears the sega genesis
>>12023925No SNES beat em up is better considering the console can't even handle more than 3 enemies on screen at once. Love the SNES but that is one genre it just can't handle well. SoR has you getting swarmed by enemies at times which is cool as fuck.>Meanwhile THIS TRASH FUCKING GAME IS SO FUCKING SLOW.If your pic related is any indication you're playing Axel, who is the least mobile character in the game. Blaze walks faster, Skate can run, Max can just slide around for movement, but Axel can only jump to move faster. But it's indeed a slower paced game in terms of movement.>Enemies have such insane movement and feel even more dangerousThat's a good thing, the whole rest of your paragraph is someone getting filtered by difficulty.
Play Bare Knuckle III. The gameplay is much better.
Beat em ups just suck in general, bro.
>>12023953okay ill give it a try. I died to the final boss of SOR2 after frustratingly suffering through the final levels and just couldnt handle it and i beat battletoadsill try it to see if it plays better
SNES drones cope posting at previously unforeseen levels. You're seriously having this much trouble with one of the greatest and most iconic 16-bit games? Have you considered the possibility that video games aren't for you, and you would have a better time with a different hobby?
>>12023925I'm not sure if this is just a Nintendo fanboy stuck in the console wars trying to hate on SEGA, or someone who genuinely got filtered while trying to enjoy just turning into a fanboy out of anger. Anyways, I sympathize with you, OP... but you preferring Nitendo and/or getting filtered by a classic doesn't make SoR2 bad, nor does it make the SNES better.Give it a few hours, or a few days, practice and learn, look up advice here and in guides, then try again.
>>12023925>style over substance. Fuck this game, the super nintendo clears the sega genesisI've been playing genesis games recently and there's actually lots of fun ones. I grew up on snes so I have a pretty good idea of what's on it. I think both have some pretty solid games.
>>12023925>style over substanceIt's literally one of the most difficult and mechanically complex games in the entire genre. You have players even today getting no death Mania runs that were previously thought impossible, after labbing for 20k+ hoursSit the fuck down shitter
This thread is putrid garbage, low effort console warring shit. Kill yourself
>>12023953BK3 is too easy. Trivially easy.
>>12024086>>12024103go back to sharty
>>
>>12023925>THIS TRASH FUCKING GAME IS SO FUCKING SLOWpick max and slide. no sympathy if you just picked axl and tried to bare knuckle your way through like a retard.t. 1cc'd the game on Mania
OP here i beat the game with max (was playing him before i made this thread)still kinda mid game tho. Turtles in Time was better>beat it on harder difficulty or 1cc itno thanks
>>12023952>No SNES beat em up is betterI like Turtles.>the console can't even handle more than 3 enemies on screen at once.There are a few. Turtles in Time handles 4 foot soldiers, it can also handle a few mousers, pterodactyls or A6 bots with em, Ghost Chaser Densei handles 4 enemies, so does King of Dragons and Sailor Moon R, I think there are a couple others too.The Streets of Rage games has excellent enemy numbers, like 6 at a time and the last two have pretty big sprites. The only issue I got with the Genesis is that after Streets of Rage what is there? Golden Axe and it's two mediocre sequels, an okay TMNT game that has half the charm of Turtles in Time and an okay Final Fight port that you need the CD console for.The SNES could have been sooo much better with just a bit more CPU. The real crime though is that the 5th gen consoles dropped beat em ups like a hot potato. Just imagine what they could have done, Revenge of Death Adder, Ninja Baseball Batman, Undercover Cops, Dungeon Magic, Alien vs Predator, Armored Warriors, Gaurdians, Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon, a Streets of Range game with arcade quality graphics, 4p Turtles in Time or Simpsons ports, so much potential on the Saturn or PS1.
>>12024383>t. 1cc'd the game on Maniais it a 1cc when the game gives you so many extra lives?
>>12024764You earn those lives. There are people that aim for deathless mania runs as well, but I don't hold the average person to that standard.
>>12024480Dunno what emulator you're using but I suggest using a shader like sharp-bilinear to fix the inconsistent pixel sizes. It's especially obvious when looking at the dithering and you've probably noticed shimmering when the game is scrolling
GROUNDUPPA
>>12024764Bonus lives are capped and you can set how many you start each continue with, but yeah it's a 1CC because I didn't continue.
>>12023925>>12023925>Its completely carried by its presentation and music which is the best of its genreAre you fucking retarded up there OP? The music in ALL 3 Streets of Rage games is insufferable garbage. The sprite and background work is amateurish too. Even for the early 90s. Fuck off. Dont come back here ever again.
>>12023925Thanks for the new pasta.
>>12023925Before you write it off, do me a favor:Go to options, set lives to 5 and difficulty to HARDEST.Then play as Blaze.The moves you will be needing are:1. Jump forward, then down+B in the air. As soon as you land, start punching.2. Learn the timing of P,P in the punch-punch-kick combo. You want to punch twice, pause for a bit, then start over. If you kick, then the enemy flies away and you have to walk over to them. Try it on Electra in the bar on stage 1.3. Almost *NEVER* use jump kick. You're vulnerable to uppercuts and it's really hard hitting.4. fwd, fwd+B isn't as good with Blaze as with others. Don't rely on it too much. Works okay on stage 1 boss.5. Neutral stick + A is you get out of jail card.6. Fwd+A is your "kill 5 guys in front of me" move.7. When grabbing from the front, fwd+B, fwd+B, C, B. That's the maximum damage.8. When grabbing from the front, back+B to throw into group of enemies behind you.9. Stick neutral jump kick is the best weapon against the jetpack asshole.Good luck, bro.
>Nintendrones everywhere
>>12023925Snes final fight has no impact to hits. This is much more satisfying to play.
>>12024905Thank you for reaffirming my belief that anyone who can't enjoy house and techno has no appreciation for production
>>12024905>The sprite and background work is amateurish too.I disagree it's up there with the best. They chose a scale that represents travelling through a street. Most beatemups at the time had zoomed in views with little substance in the environments.
I can play this on the hardest difficulty without losing a life until the final stage. This game is actually built to be mastered. Maybe it's not worth your time the way it was mine when it was one of like 4 sega games I had and I was 9. But you can't blame the game. It is designed so that you can avoid any and all damage just by being aware of spacing and angling.
>>12023925Give SOR2 running and it would be even better.
>>12023957bmups suck on a controller. they're fine with an arcade stick but they're just not suited for play with a controller (unless you want to do claw grip or something)
>>12026106look up Streets of Rage X
>>12023925all I'm reading is a lot of skill issues.
I've been noticing this for a while now, there is a distinct and strong divide between Nintendo and Sega players in what they want out of a video game.Nintendo: the player wants the game to be fun just to move around in. the controls must be intuitive. the game should reward skill and trying new things.Sega: the player wants the game to be challenging just to move around in. the controls must be mechanically complex. the game should punish lack of skill and knowledge.
>>12023953BK3 has horribly badly paced levels, all it does is have you swarmed by 2 different types of punks, followed by getting swarmed by another type of punk, repeat. Like at one point you get donovan/galsia, then the two new punks, then the two woman punks (electra/garnet), or the big bens, or the ninjas, or the karatekas, etc.The problem is that they are all extremely weak and have shit AI, so they are all just extremely annoying but not actually difficult. see webm.By comparison, SOR2 has the three basic punks, and then like a dozen sub-bosses, and finally the bosses (some who are recurring as sub-bosses). Every new enemy is a bit more difficult to fight (Galsia just has 2 punch, Donovan has punch-punch-knockdown combo, Signal can throw and slide, bikers have fast, long range instant knockdown punch and a hold, it progressively gets harder and harder). And nearly every sub-boss has either some intro, and they all have some different/new moves which hit way way harder than normal punks. Jack throws knives, Electra electrocutes you, the karateka you meet on a truck deathmatch, ninjas are hanging on the net of a pirate ship, Big Ben is a solo fight in the middle of a baseball stadium, etc.. And they all have unique sounds too.BK3 just has everything as standard punks, no enemies are "special", and the game just focuses on piling them on you en masse. They just do same slap sound effects as a donovan or galsia. You can't even fight the bikers.and that's why SOR2 is better even though BK3 adds so many great new moves. SOR2 has way better enemy placement and sound effects.
>>12026302>The problem is that they are all extremely weak and have shit AIIs that also true in Mania difficulty? Like, do they just increase the numbers and keep the shit AI? I haven't played BK3 much and certainly not above hard difficulty
>>12024764Considering the last levels practically aim to sap your bonus lives away (stage 7 elevator), I'd say it's specifically balanced for it.>>12024848>Bonus lives are cappedUp to a point. You get one at 20k, then at every 50k, 150k, etc. Given that a Mania 1cc would max your score counter that's 11 extra lives, plus the four one ups (stage 1, stage 2, two on stage 3, hope I didn't forgot any others), so you get 15 bonus lives to beat the game.A no death Mania run is straight up TAS bullshit though.>>12025423I'd argue that Blaze is the worst character in the game, she doesn't have any safe or high damage moves whatsoever other than her f+A. Max and Skate can do insane damage fast (Skate can do something like a full lifebar combo but it's not very safe, Max is safer), Axel has Grand Upper. Blaze has fuck all.
>>12026321>A no death Mania run is straight up TAS bullshit though.almosthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypcRg6z2S1I
>>12026313BK3/SOR3 doesn't have Mania. It has Easy, Normal, Hard, Very Hard (note *). That webm was on Very Hard.SOR2 on Mania actually has enemies trying to actively surround you. BK3 is just dumb as shit, enemies won't even move into the screen unless you change planes. But I'm more miffed about the crap sound effects (the music is great), and the enemy placements not being nowhere as "cinematic" as SOR2. Oh and you can't hit off screen enemies either, that's a big issue you can also see on the webm. It makes the levels all feel more constrained.note *: there's a hidden Very Easy mode too but it's basically every enemy dying to a basic combo, it's stupid. And you can hack in a negative difficulty which shows up garbled on the options, and it has... empty levels with no enemies. You need to do game genie or action replay codes to use either of those settings.And SOR3 just moves every difficulty up one tier, soBK3 Easy -> does not show up in SOR3BK3 Normal -> SOR3 EasyBK3 Hard -> SOR3 NormalBK3 Very Hard -> SOR3 Hard.SOR3 also makes enemy attacks have a difficulty multiplier, so enemies do 4x as much damage on Hard. Which means if you get hit with a Galsia combo, you die. It's not difficult, just extremely unfair and annoying. SOR3 is best avoided, it's a travesty.
>>12026327yeah that guy is an autist who played the game nonstop for 10+ years and even then had to cheese the game hard core to do it. It's God Hand tier abuse where you advance the game as slow as possibly so you never have to fight more than 1-2 enemies at the same time.
>>12026302>BK3 has horribly badly paced levels, all it does is have you swarmed by 2 different types of punksMost levels have actual mechanics to them, like avoiding wagons on tracks or pushing away a bulldozer. SoR2 only has advancing through the environment, combating enemies and picking up items.Moreover, SoR2 barely has any hazards that affect the enemies - only the grenade tossers - while almost every BKIII stage has either a hostile stage element that can also hit the enemy or bottomless pits to avoid and throw enemies into.The only real complaint one can make is a significant decrease in difficulty in BKIII (or a significant increase in SoR3), but gameplay mechanics themselves are superior in III.
>>12023925>THIS TRASH FUCKING GAME IS SO FUCKING SLOWplay 3 thenyou wont tho cuz youre a fucking coward
>>12023953>BK3cowardsall i see are cowards everywhere
It's this thread op replying to his own bait or are sor fans really this retarded and bad at games
>>12026431I think the SOR 2 stages are better. You really feel like you are moving towards MRX's place. SOR3 starts in a boring warehouse and a lot of the scenes just feel random.
>>12026590NTA but both SOR 2 and 3 feel random compared to 1. 2 has you going into an amusement park where you go into a pirate ship, later you go into a baseball field where you go into a random underground elevator etc. Why are you doing any of that if the objective is to arrest a crime boss? 1 is the most normal of the 3.
>>12026321>hope I didn't forgot any othersyou forgot the one in stage 7!!!
>>12024905So you're fighting bait with bait
>>12026436Alright, argue why Streets of Rage 3 is better, anon.
>>12023925OP is a filtered fag
>>12026352>BK3 Very Hard -> SOR3 Hard.nope it doesn't work that way. BK3 on very hard is easier than SOR3 on easy.
>>12023952Turtles in time is way better. But ultimately the beat em up genre is largely full of the same types of games. There's very little difference between the best beat em up ever and the most average one
>>12023925i played this today with a friend and haved a very great time and dying laughing, some games are better when you play them with a good friend instead of playing it alone
>>12027759you don't have to rub it in
