Fight'N Rage is the best 2d beat em up iv played recently it's so satisfying to combo goons until they explode into a pile of bones and it has an awesome aesthetic. The ninja is so fun to use he has that ryu hayabusa izuna drop and boy does it feel good to use

Thanks for supporting Jitsu Squad 🙏🏾 we're proud of it! See if you can find me in the background on one of the stages 😊 Excellent list. Many people sleep on Power Rangers the Movie for the Genesis.

Happy channel aniversary ,great vid Profaf !

Happy 3rd channel anniversary.

I installed SoRRemake on my modded ps vita...and holy hell man its unbelievably good its amazing 😍 Beat em ups and Musou games...i think im home finally 😊

Hope you get to 1k subs soon you deserve it friend.

It should be illegal for a beat em up to only be one player. I dont mind playing solo but the option should be there

One game I was very surprised you didn't mention was to the Alien vs Predator arcade game made by Capcom. This was one of the best beat em ups Capcom ever made aside from Final Final. The awesome part was the character had moves that mimicked street fighter moves but were easier to do. Also Final Fight on the Sega CD was the best console version and nearest to the arcade and had all three characters and was two players.

theres one thing you forgot about the arcade version of Powered Gear S.V.A.E. when you play the game in three player and achieve the level in a certain time at full health, you can summon a power armour for all three bots to combine and become a mobile armour but it is on a time constraint and is only for boss battles.

No AVP? That game took combo mechanics to the next level. Basically a freeform combo system. Try it with a joystick for optimal play.

Happy channel anniversary 🎉 whoa! you included 2 mech beat' em ups, let's go!! great list! ✨ truly must-play games for me, the mecha ones

Excellent list! All fresh and well researched, great work.

Nice list with hidden gems like Vendetta, Guardian Heroes or Ninja Saviors. Well deserved number 1 and 0 too!

Great list. My favorite genre. There are a few upcoming beat um ups coming this year that im looking forward too.

Great video Brother filled with lots of interesting facts. I agree SoR4 is my fave all-time beat em up. I never heard of Panzer Bandit I'd love to try it.

Where is 'Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara'? SoR 4 would probably be number 20 on my list . Remake is the best for sure!

Awesome! Beat'em ups are my favourite games too!

Hey thanks for making this video, I know this video is made based on your personal preference, however I think you are definately missing some gems in this video. More specifically, Dungeons and Dragons: Shadow of Mystara and Dragons Crown. If you ever update this list i would recommend looking into those 2 entries.

Happy channel anniversary Profar🎉🎉 Since the theme for today is Beat em' ups, it would be really cool if you reviewed some 3D beat em' ups/Brawlers, like The Bouncer or the Yakuza Series

There are other beat em up games to be mentioned too, like there's a "Bucky o hare " that's also a konami beat em up game where it's a beat em up and a shoot em up at the same time, that game was made to be the last episode of the Bucky o hare storyline as well.

Never heard of Panzer Bandit. Definitely gonna give that one a try.

STREET'S OF RAGE REMAKE IS GREAT BUT STREET'S OF RAGE 4 IS SO AWESOME 12 BIG LEVELS IN STREET'S OF RAGE 4 YEAHHHHH I GOT MY MONEY'S WORTH.👍💪

hi Profar! awesome list! keep the good work and congrats!

Batman Returns 🖤🖤🖤!!! love this list

Good video!

happy 3rd anniversary!❤

Great video... what do you think of Streets of rage 2x? I've been playing it and it's amazing.

Pretty good list but……no Fight N Rage???? Bruh Great video!

Have u played Dragon's Crown? Must play if u like Beat'em up & Basara games because of the RPG elements.

Cool. At a recent steam festival, I played the demo of another potentially good game - Arnold Bounty Hunter. It looks more like the first Battletoads - there are not only fights, but also various adventures with platforming, hydrocycles. It also looks interesting. I liked the demo.

Surprised Dragon's Crown wasn't on here

I only wish you brought up Final Fight CD for the Sega/Mega CD. It's the best port we got with arrange CD quality music, two players, uncensored and all three characters.

No love for any of the VanillaWare beatemups, like Muramasa Demonblade, Dragon's Crown or Odin Sphere Leifthrasir... all of which are among the best in genre that I've played. Are the VanillaWare games I mentioned above not technically qualified as 2D beatemups?

Please do make a video about Bare Knuckle 3 !

Streets of rage 3 and streets of rage remake(fan version not the official version) are my favs

What is the anime that was shown at the end of number six and right before five. It’s where two characters are in a house/apartment with a the guy on the left walking to the window. Then someone is floating and lightning is being shot out? I’m intrigued and want to check out the anime. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Okay, you’re talking about fan games now. I agree though.

Please tell me, I used to play a game when I was a kid, it might be a clone of Streets of rage and Final fight, I forgot the name of it, and as far as I understand it is completely unknown! Too bad, because the game is really cool! The only thing I remember is that the 3 main characters look like Hulk Hogan, Schwarzenegger, Van Damme, and I al

Bit controversial for my taste lol but cool list.

You guys really need to try Skinny and Franko

What is the difference between bare knuckle 3 and sor3

No Sengoku 2,3 or D&D Tower of Doom, Shadow over Mystara? I don't know about that one chief.

Well this will fill an hour of this fargone yard work.

Is there any physical way to play sor remake?

No Alien vs Predator, No Punisher, No Cadillacs & Dinosaurs? that top 20 miss several of the best games of the genre

Holy shit! I missed The Ninja Saviors: Return of the Warriors coming to Steam!! Thank you you for letting me know and thanks for the video

Was about to riot that Panzer Bandit isn't here. I've heard 3's Intro and bam. Guardian Heroes is there so I can't think of a reason not to put Panzer Bandit. It's been one of those games that I'll put in any console, just because I never get tired of playing them. Panzer Bandit, Dissidia (012), Sonic Battle, Killzone Mercenary, PSASBR and Smash has been one of those games. I can drop any other games for these and will never get tired of playing them.

WEIRD AND UNEXPECTED LIST. CONGRATS ON ANNIVERSARY

Beat'em Up ❤

Alien vs Predator and The Simpsons could have made the list easy. Among others. In my opinion.

BATMAN RETURNS for the 16 BIT SNES is much better then the 16 BIT GENESIS VERSION.

Guardian Heroes is the GOAT

Nah, SoR4 characters have up to 300 frames of animation. No way near 1000. But still impressive.

Shaq fu reborn should be #1

Game beat 2d, the best

I would pay ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS for a simple port of Batman Returns SNES for the Switch. Maybe more. Serious.

lolo no cadillacs & dinos, punisher, AvP????

Advance guardian hero (gba) its a solid top 10 for those who don't know the game

No River City school /girls ?

They should bring back final fight 4

Haven't You played "Cadillacs and Dinosaurs"?

So 2 streets of rage entries but no alien vs predator, battle circuit, ninja baseball bat men, this list is kind of disappointing

Fight n’ Rage is numero uno (or zero).

TECHNICALLY STREETFIGHTER 2 IS A SPINOFF FROM FINAL FIGHT SO CAPCOM KINDA DID IT.

No battletoads?????

Very disappointing list. Apart from SoR4 and TMNTSR, there are no recent beat'em ups...

Streets of Rage 4
