AvP is a good answer, but I think the D&D games are better.

>>12504705
Meh too slow and spongy enemies

I have only played it alone tough maybe it's better with friends

All dragons beaten under 25 minutes. It's not slow if you know how to play.

Are Genesis beat em ups really better than SNES? I personally like Final Fight 3 better than SoR2.
>>
>>12504726
All beat em ups are better with friends. I can only pay 5-10 mins alone before I get bored with any of them.

Knights of Valour 2 (vanilla).
>>
>>12504653
Idk, sor is fun as is FF. I like Captain commando, is odin sphere a jog n jabber?
>>
2D and Retro ?
Streets of Rage 2.

3D?
God Hand, easily.

>>12504784
SNES has this, Turtles in Time, Batman Returns, Batman & Robin, Ninja Warriors, the two Power Rangers beat Em ups, Knights of the Round, King of Dragons, X-Men Mutant Apocalypse.
Genesis has SoR 2 and Bare Knuckle 3, Comix Zone, Golden Axe 2.

For me, SNES is much better for beat'em up games, though it doesn't have Streets of Rage 2 (imo the best retro game in the genre).

I also think that Final Fight Guy is superior to SoR, despite being a mediocre port.
I can't stand the choppy framerate of SoR 1 and I also think the gameplay is too simplistic (though decent enough).

hue hue thread?

>>12504727
desu. but i really should try replaying SOR2.
>>12504705
also yes. and ROT3K.
>>12504768
Dwarf with a mage is better for multiplayer because of the BattleAx.
>>12505193
Game Gear had 2 good Power Rangers beat em up too.
>>
Maybe not the best but Turtles in Time has always been my favorite. I feel that even the better beat em ups tend to get repetitive fast, and it TiT manages to keep itself fresh with variety and perfect pacing.
>>
River city ransom
>>
streets of rage is vastly superior to 2. all the retard kids who talk about 2 are from the age of lame internet lists that boosted 2. you have shit for brains. fastest way to know you’re a retard is if you say streets of rage 2 is better
>>
>>12504653
Tmnt 2 the arcade game.

>>12505231
This one or cadillacs and dinosaurs
>>
>>12507618
No it's pretty bad
>>
>>12507625
I'd give it a 6 or lucky 7, overrated as fuck by Saturnios and Treasurios though
>>
>>12506696
Entirety of SoR1's gameplay
>every single enemy:slowly do single punches to stunlock them to death
>every single boss: grab, knee, knee, let go, repeat

I'll take SoR2's Grand Upper spam over it any day, it genuinely requires a bit more skill, precision and timing
>>
>>
>>12504653
Not that. I like Ninja Baseball Bat Man.
>>
>>12504653
For me, it's "The Ninjawarriors" for SFC/SNES:
-Great soundtrack
-All 3 selectable characters are fun to play with.
-A slow but engaging gameplay.
-Sprites and backgrounds with a lot of detail.
The remake is good but nothing compares to the original.
>>
>>12507714
Kamaitachi's crouch punch is broken, you can spam it and there is very little in the game that can counter it. Otherwise, it's a great game
>>
>>12504653
What makes AvP god tier imo is the freedom of movement through the different special moves, and how different each character feels. That makes it flat out more fun to play.
It's generally tough to compare Capcom's games since they never did the exact same thing with each beat'em up.
Knights of the Round has parries, Armored Warriors has modular powerups, Punisher has the gun mechanic and roll. Mystara games are a whole different beast. They're all really good.

how is this even a question?
>>
>>12506696
This guy here gets it. I prefer the first one over either sequel, and it's not even a close call.
>>
I will always have a soft spot for Double Dragon 1 arcade and Double Dragon 2 NES, but the real winner is Final Fight. X-men, Punisher, Simpsons and TMNT are close runner ups.

Violent Storm is a lot of fun. Not a quarter muncher, smooth movement, great controls, great music, amazing visuals and huge sprites, even the average goon gets what would be a boss sized sprite in another game.

>>12507683
>Ninja Baseball Bat Man.
Another great one. Irem has some pretty good beat em ups but this one stands out.
>>
Ninja Baseball Batman. Get at me.
>>
>>12507714
The SNES version is a demake of the arcade game, its not the original. The arcade game was amazing experience with its ultrawide multimonitor visuals and audio.
>>
>>12509163
Austrannia kill yourself already
>>
I played through most ofnthe games here mentioned once and only once.
I do go back for a playthrough of "revenge of death adder" maybe once a year though. Still my favorite of the genre only matched by (not retro) dragon crown pro.
>>
>>12504653
i've been enjoying cosmic invasion-it's like turtles in time meets chronicles of mystara. hitting flying characters is a bitch though. oh wait this is /vr/. fuck you i'm still right
