Is Street of rage 2 the best belt scroller ever made?

Opinions for the 3D version on 3DS? (yeah yeah, not retro)

[Anonymous No.4221376]

I liked SoR1 more.

Final Fight sucks because every animation is 2-3 frames.

SoR2 has at least double that, much better music, more interesting stages, and better movesets. The only thing FF has going for it is Haggar.

Not that anon but, all the capcom, IGS, SNK and some TAD, IREM etc etc, them is way mo than 20, too lazy to list them all.

The problem with bareknuckle is, small sprites, extremely bland character design, awful sound effects, did you ever notice how beat em ups are in the sound effects, mostly? Shitty noodling, un-memorable music. Bland backgrounds. The game doesn't innovate, it just takes from arcade beat em ups that came before.
I love SEGA love the MD, but streets/knuckle gives me raging diarrhea, the brown stuff, liquid even :(

I am curious what will happen to streets of rage's status after paprium gets release. Hopefully this year.

There is only one TAD beat'em up, Legionnaire and it's unemulatable.

[Anonymous No.4222301]

>>4222279
The only SNK beat'em up that's not a total kusoge, Sengoku 3 is actually a sequel to a Noise Factory game called Gaia Crusaders.
Sengoku 1 and 2, Burning Fight, Eight Man, Ninja Combat and Mutant Nation are very fun in a kusoge sorta way. I appreciate that they had their own identity rather than copying what Capcom has been doing even if they fell short.

Burning Fight is the shittiest way possible to do Final Fight clone. Mutant Nation, Eight man and maybe Sengoku 2 are alright, simple but solid enough to be playable

Reasons why Streets of Rage 2 is garbage in comparison to the other games in the series.

Lets begin with the meat of the game
>Combat
The combat in SOR2 is incredibly slow and unresponsive, theres huge delays on everything moving and attacking is not fluid, the super attacks in the game punish the player with huge chunk of health loss and are more or less completely useless outside of committing suicide unlike the other games which limit but dont punish the player for smart use of specials.

SOR2 also has no coop/team moves, throwing the other player in the other games resulted in a powerful special attack which was both fun and rewarding, also holding the other player from the back gave them access to new moves like a long range kick that could knock down multiple enemies and vault attacks, these are COMPLETELY missing from SOR2

Another feature missing from SOR2 is the Fatguys, a staple of the series while they have a sprite in game they simply function exactly like normal enemies and can be thrown normally with no repercussions.

>Level Design
Another huge flaw in SOR2 is the level design. Levels in SOR2 are nonsensical and completely unfitting for the games setting, "a pirate ship" "an alien hive" "a baseball field" its just stuff thrown together with no rhyme or reason.
Aesthetics is only the tip of the iceberg with SOR2 however, stages in SOR or extremely short with many bosses being copy pasted and reused over and over again from previous stages giving the game an overall unfinished feel, also once again the game removes series staples such stage hazards like pits, hazardous factory machines and others, and while the game has an excuse for lift stage it is completely impossible to actually throw someone over the side making it just another generic level.

>Music
While generally being praised as having good music what most people dont know is that all the music in SOR2 is entirely 100% stolen

The pirate ship, the alien area, that shit is a fucking amusement park.

Its not even the out of place theme that sucks with the sor2 backgrounds. In later levels some of the backgrounds look like from an 8bit game. Quality drastically drops after the bar level.

Guys,

The genre is Scrolling Beat 'em Up.

As opposed to the 1-on-1 Beat 'em Up genre typified by games like Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat.

I actually like Final Fight 3. It's easy but it's fun.

[Anonymous No.4224527]

Best one in retro.

However, SORR is the best one ever made. SOR2 comes second though.

So is SOR2, but both are still great in their own right.

Kinda funny you say that though, because I remember the days of when everyone on the official SORR forum bitched about the game being waaaay too hard when it came out, some of them considered themselves "elite" gamers lol.

>Streets of Rage 1
Rough around the edges but still a great game, perfect embodiment of 80's action movie, good music, great level design, art is gritty and contrasting which fits the theme of the game perfectly.

>Streets of Rage 2
Bright and colorful looks more like a 90's Saturday morning cartoon than an 80's action movie. Rushed out the door in under a year after SoR1 blatantly unfinished, some stages are missing bosses and enemies/bosses are copy pasted multiple times, level design is poor with most stages being nonsensical with the feeling they were just thrown in with no rhyme or reason just to fill a checklist, many features are missing such as 2 player team attacks, stage hazards, pitfalls, weapons, fat enemies can be thrown like normal etc. Combat is very slow and infinites are rampant, game is horribly unbalanced and extremely easy even on "mania" the game also has many game breaking glitches and exploits such as getting infinite lives and random crashes.

>Streets of Rage 3
Return to its roots, more gritty and darker than SoR2, game-play and combat is the best it has ever been its fast fluid and has more depth than the other games, level design is also great with branching paths, multiple interactables, stage hazards. 2 player team attacks are back and fat enemies can no longer be thrown like regular enemies, most of the missing weapons from SoR2 also return. Bosses are all unique with interesting and unique mechanics making them very fun to fight against, the game has multiple hidden extra characters and bonuses and the game is very challenging.

Man I wish the SOR series hadn't tanked like it did. There were alot of early 2000 beat em ups that felt inspired by it but nothing has been the same kind of satisfying since.
