Episode 115
In 1991 Sega's Genesis had gained a lot of momentum, but rival Nintendo was getting ready to launch their new Super NES in North America. Nintendo had secured the exclusive rights to Final Fight, the hottest arcade game of the time, and it would ONLY appear on the Super Nintendo.
Sega wasn't about to just let Nintendo win, and the game they designed to compete with Final Fight turned out to be better than the game they were imitating! Streets of Rage was the first entry in one of the greatest Beat 'em franchises of all time, and it all started here.
So how did Sega manage to "one up" Nintendo in this round of the ancient console wars? In today's episode we'll find out, then we'll do a deep dive on the gameplay where we'll learn:
* The best strategies for finishing EVERY ROUND with ANY CHARACTER!
* Secret techniques that will make fighting the basic enemies easy!
* How to do Infinite Grabs against bosses!
* Which character should we choose? A full breakdown of how much damage they each deal!
* A way to SKIP THE FINAL boss? We'll reveal the secret of the Credits Warp!
* How to get the Good AND Bad Endings for every character!
* The best way to defeat EVERY BOSS... even MR. X himself, AND MORE!
Thanks for watching!

My favorite beat em up series. I'm glad it's made a comback.

@reloadpsi Год назад

Streets of Rage 4 was an absolute miracle and I can't wait to see if there'll be a fifth.

@TheEman590 Год назад

I love Streets of Rage 4. Playing as each character is fun because you can try all their different combos and special moves.

@chiarosuburekeni9325 Год назад

I’m just getting into 4 after hating on it for years. I always thought SoR Remake was superior 🤷🏽‍♂️ Anyway it’s so good. Captured that 90s feel so well

@dude5089 Год назад

I mean, it's gotta be objectively the best beat'em up series of all time at this point. SoR 4 propelled it to that status, for sure

@robertramsey8871 Год назад

There should be an enhanced SOR pack similar to what Konami did with Ninja Turtles

@Valliac Год назад

I remember tearing through this game with my brother, only for him to try to betray me at the end, causing the bad ending. Whenever he wanted to play it normally, I betrayed him. Every time.

@KID_JEDI_76 Год назад

I might be in the minority but SoR1 is my favorite in the trilogy. Don't get me wrong, I love SoR2 (I still own the cartridges for the first and second game and play them fairly often) and Sor3 is a fine game as well, but i really think SoR1 is an absolute masterpiece. There's just little details that are amazing about it. For instance: in Round 8, notice how when you start the level, and as you pass the first window, it is still night. The further you progress through the level and the closer you get to the final crime boss, you'll see that daylight is starting to break, signifying Mr. X's hold of the city is coming to an end! The music on that last stage is brilliant as well. You can feel the desperation and tenseness of the enemy as he throws everything he's got at you, yet you can sense the finalization of the long, hard fought and selfless journey to dispel evil and free the people of terror is right behind that last door. I love it.

@superspecky4eyes 9 дней назад

I half agree. I think SoR2 is the better game and (arguably) has the better sound track. However, there is something about the grittiness of SoR1 that just hits different and just makes it feel more badass. I love it.

@auguststafford Год назад

Streets of Rage (and especially Streets of Rage 2) had terrific music. I love it!

@TheEman590 Год назад

I remember getting this on the Wii Virtual Console and having a blast playing it. The music was awesome and i loved the nightlife tech noir feel of the city. Been a fan of the franchise since. Blaze and Axel were my favorites.

@granitebeast Год назад

My favorite part of your videos is the first five minutes giving history and background about the game. Do you have any plans to post those segments as stand alone clips? I'd watch a whole Playlist of them

@poughkeepsieblue Год назад

Thats a good suggestion, id probably watch a playlist of them as well, as they are really well researched and presented.

@officialtruvotru-druvevoch7049 Год назад

Game is hard!!

@brendaleelydon Год назад

Does he Tiktok? Cuz posting the first few minutes as (a series of?) Tiktoks would be cool, as well as possibly drive traffic to this channel! Besides that, I do know of a few creators that have separate YT channels for 'clip content', so maybe that'd be something worth pursuing? (I think people usually post them on a separate channel for algorithm purposes; YT seems to like for you to keep posting the same kind of content, & if you have long-form & short-form content on the same channel, it gets a li'l cranky. Freakin' emotional computer algorithms, amirite?!)

@EMM-dd1vs Год назад

Hell yeah brother! I see you beat the algorithm by releasing quality super mario content at the same time the movie was released. Genius. The subscriber jump was noticeable. Keep crushing it. Some of my earliest memories are watching you play video games. You could say I was your original fan. I got the live version of "U Can Beat Video Games" from you about 27 years ago.

@KingofCrusher Год назад

Please elaborate. I just discovered this dude about a year ago on youtube, but you're saying he was around in the 90's?

@brendaleelydon Год назад

@@KingofCrusher ...there was SMB movie released recently?? So his release of the SMW 2-part playthrough, at the same time there was a hecka lotta chatter about the SMB series/brand as a whole, likely contributed to a recent subscriber boost. That said, I also came across this channel a while back (I think 2 years now? I'd have to check; it was well before the merch launch, I remember that) & I'm just wicked proud of how much his channel has grown *AND* that he's hasn't changed his format or personality as he's grown. It's kinda refreshing, tbh.

I'm thankful the delisted streets of rage remake held me over until SOR4 which has old man Zan who could represent grandpa. Nice to have someone great for multiplayer, or a ghost as a legacy if it's a time trial, though I think samurai shodown on ps4 had a type of AI based on your patterns.

@EsperHubb Год назад

Thank you so much for giving this game a complete play through. Gotta respect the 1st game for setting the bar up for the sequel cause even by itself, the first SoR game is solid.

I don't know how I am just now finding out about this channel, but this is, hands down, the **BEST** retro entertainment RU-vid channel in existence. I watch this while I code, I have it playing while going to sleep; I can watch them over and over. It's not a let's play, it's not a narration, it's not a guide, it's not a historical perspective, it's not a documentary, it's all of those things all at the same time. My hats off to you, sir.

@dannyhtheretrogamingmaster9548 Год назад

One of my favourite game series of all time. Done lots of playthroughs of SOR2 and Bomber Games remade version in particular.

@dajuanmenzies1292 Год назад

My favorite beat em up series, you got to play streets of rage 2 after this one.

@jinderbreadman Год назад

I think many people consider SoR 2 to be an objectively-better game, but SoR 1 is still my favorite of the series. The soundtrack (especially that boss theme) is just too iconic to me. Also, SoR 1 has the best iteration of Blaze! Another easy way to beat the Blaze clones (as Blaze) is to corral them both to one side of the screen. Once they are there, face Blaze in the opposite direction of them, and do your backwards-kick as soon as the jump-kicker is half-way through the apex of their kick, and/or when the grappler is in range. They will never be able to land a hit on you in this loop.

@natejoe9924 Год назад

I didnt beat it until 2012 when i watched a tips video and picked up gaming again on how to just punch slow to trap the enemies in a loop. By far the best side scrolling fight game ever!!!!

I never owned a Genesis as a kid but I have the fondest memories of playing beat 'em ups with my childhood friend Jeff! We beat Double Dragon 3 for the NES together but I also remember us beating the original Streets of Rage on his Genesis. I forgot just how great this game was. The graphics, music, and atmosphere was top-notch and despite being a Nintendo kid, SOR is WAY better than Final Fight IMO. It's no contest. :)

Oh my god, this means UCBVG is going to do Streets Of Rage 2. Get ready for an auditory treat on that one. The Stage 1 theme is one of the best _in video gaming history_ and there's a cheeky hidden 1-up right at the start because the devs knew how hard the game actually was ;)

@slow17motion Год назад

Final Fight had better base sound and graphics, but Streets had an arguably better soundtrack and certainly gameplay. Having two players made it king.

@MidoseitoAkage Год назад

And on Final Fight, you can only play 2 characters and they censored their female enemies, even the poor Poison has turned into a man. Street of Rage does what Final Fight don't. They've 3 playables characters and their female enemies aren't censored.

@JadenMoon1475 Год назад

I don't remember what 2 buttons to push on the Sega Genesis version, press R on Nintendo 3DS, but you'll do sort of a roundhouse kick that comes in *Really* handy when enemies are behind you.

@luisferreira544 Год назад

There's another way to deal with stage 5 boss. The grappler is very susceptible to a very secret technique, If you press the jump and attack Buttons at the same time your character Will do a back attack( example, if your character is facing to the right they Will do an attack to the left). So my strategy is to keep to the left and facing left so the grappler Will move Faster to attack and wham surprise back attack. While shes getting up the jumper is usualy at the end of her Failed jump attack animation so there's a chance to grab her and throw/suplex. Great guide nonetheless, although there's a few missing points about weapons but overall great strategies for the bosses.

@ridjenite Год назад

Something U Can Beat Video Games forgot to mention about the Southers- don't try for air supremacy. They can dodge. a jumping kick and leave you wide open.

@darkscythe1334 Год назад

Interesting stuff re SoR1 (the one I was by far most familiar with). I didn’t know in stage 2 that there was a limit to how many Garcia would spawn (thought it was endless). Am curious if that is true for all stages? I also feel stupid not noticing that the twin horrors on the ship actually attack differently (might be because like was said, when one is down, the other does both). All these years and still learning new things. For a game that heavily uses palette swaps (something i actually liked as a kid:for some reason) and simplicity compared to other similar titles, this game has a surprising amount of combat depth. Only increases my own appreciation for it.

@Zombies8MyPizza Год назад

Adam maybe seems not the best pick due to his slower speed and he's not quite as beginner-friendly as the other two, but IMO he's the best pick if you learn how to use him. His jump-kicks absolutely mow through groups of enemies and there's a trick where you can land 3 or even (rarely) 4 hits on an enemy in two punches if you do the left-right trick while punching.

Nicely done, when you get a chance in the near future maybe do a video on either revenge of shinobi or shinobi 3.

I'm sure a lot of retro players would appreciate it if you can break it down for them
