✪ Double Dragon 2 (Arcade) - One coin whole game, hard

"Double Dragon 2: The Revenge" completed with on coin on hard difficulty.
Double Dragon was a hit so sequel was logical. The sequel is much harder to play mostly because of huge slowdowns in game. It's really annoying. Very rarely, when on a screen there is only one opponent, game will run very fast. Maybe too fast. But when two or more opponents are on the screen it will become slow motion.
Controls are little weird again, but after little practice they become very simple. Some old moves and strikes are not present in this game, like headbut and leg kicking. But they included couple new ones like spinning kick that is very useful, knee kick that can kick opponent when he gets up from the floor, and some spinning/helicopter kick that I didn't found useful. Visually, DD2 is copy of DD1 and second level is identical as in the first game.
By mine opinion time in some levels is too short. Last boss is cool, but ending is a bit pathetic. This would be great game if there was no such slowing in the game.

Five people had to bum mom's laundry money to try and beat this game.

[@rodra81]

The picture has been taken before she died. The doppelgangers are the evilness, the dark side of the lee´s brothers heart, a shadow of themselves originated by the physical loss of Marian.

[@ckdecembergaming5655]

Ahh, didn't realize you had to jump to avoid the shadow grab! Thanks!

[@ENTECHStudios]

Big fan of double dragon, downloading it on my PS4 right now.

[@Recon-cv1fe]

5:48 BIMBO ALERT!! Lmao! I liked how they just paused; looking at the grenade then boom!

[@AchtungBaby77]

That's advanced 80's AI for you! 😀

[@Gr8Passion4Music]

I also played this game the way at arcades, that is to kick once to stun then turn face towards opponent and grab by his hair and further hit. Also, similarly, kick larger opponents in parts, that is to kick at top of screen, then come to middle and hit and then finally hit him at the bottom of screen and also using elbow shots for some opponents. Lovely to observe someone playing my way. Great video.

[@persona83]

Yeah, I play it like that as well. Love this game still to this day.

[@Schush]

I go for points when doing a DD2 run. I always kick the grunts once, stun them, then go for a roundhouse kick for big points. Stage 1 boss, one back kick, turn and give him a uppercut - goes down quick. Stage 2, I get Big Bubba on the conveyor belt, lure him close and punch him and end with a uppercut. Stage three, I give the karate dude a kick then turn around for a uppercut. This works for your shadow doppelganger too. The real trick is when you get two of the bigger bosses around, always fight in pairs. Notice in the vid one always walks in a daze when two or more on the screen. You can kick the shit of of them with this strategy. On the last fight, you can inch way to the screen and take those guys before Wiley comes out.

@ 24:59 the old man with the sunglasses on says, "poopoo" awesome

[@PouchMaster]

Never really understood the plot! Except to take away my quarters!

[@nebularain3338]

Girlfriend gets killed, boyfriend and his brother go out for revenge. It's not hard.

[@PouchMaster]

@@nebularain3338 Okay I guess it wasn't all that complicated. Thanks for clarifying it!

[@AchtungBaby77]

It's in the name of the game - Double Dragon II: The Revenge!

[@highstimulation2497]

my god, the stage II boss looks RIDICULOUS!

[@davefryer5066]

Right 😅

[@NostaleWeb]

Good video!

[@GaryBeltz]

I've played this several times I may be in the minority here, but I always called the first set of enemies you fight the "Crap guys" because when they die it sounds like they are saying CRAAP!

[@charltonbolden7024]

Go, Hammer!!!

[@AllFlashNoDash]

Very impressive! I'll have to give it a shot.

[@clarenceboddicker6679]

+Dwight “Denjin” Johnson Back in the 80's I was easily able to beat the Double Dragon 1 arcade machine with only one credit, Double Dragon 2 however was a lot more difficult, I couldn't complete that on one credit.

[@AllFlashNoDash]

+Clarence Boddicker yeah Double Dragon Dragon one is very do-able on one credit...even without abusing the elbow smash. They made sure that wasn't the case with DDII: the revenge.

[@OneCoinArcade]

+Clarence Boddicker Yeah, DD1 is actually easy game while DD2 requires some carefully playing. But lag is what ruins DD2 and makes playing much more difficult. There is way to reduce lag within emulator options, but I didn't dig that at the time of playing this game.

[@Sinn0100]

This was the link of the good Double Dragon games for a very long time. Double Dragon 3 was an absolute abomination and does not deserve to carry the name emblazoned on its cabinet. Also it holds the record for being first to introduce play-to-win micro-transactions.

[@GaryBeltz]

Yeah no one thought of micro-transactions back then but was true 0.25$ for an extra life

[@ROMANEMPIRE69]

Lol! The two Arnold’s 25:00

[@KenMasters.]

I always thought the one in the blue jeans was Van Damme. LOL

[@rousuro]

テクノスジャパンは80年代に多くの格闘アクションゲームの名作を世に送り出した。 90年代初頭に一大ブームになった、横スクロールベルトアクションのいしづえを築いたといっても過言ではない。 しかし90年代に入ると低迷、これまでの路線から脱した新たなアイディアを創出することができず、また、日進月歩するゲームハードの性能についていくことができず、最後はくにおくんシリーズ頼みとなり、バブルの頃は自社ビルを建てるほどまで成長したが、自社ビルが完成してからまもなく売上が低調に推移し、経営不振に陥って、1995年に倒産。

[@Mingtenance]

It is tough to do one LIFE whole game in this game in hard or above level.

[@TheNightmare_13]

15:54 this part annoyed me so much when I first played this ages ago. Even now when I play it digitally on my PS4 I get PTSD from this area. Ranks right up there with the moving blocks in the last level of the original game.

[@AchtungBaby77]

I never found this part difficult, mainly because you'd see the tractor lights illuminate and engine rev whenever it was about to strike. The sliding blocks at the boss stage were random with zero warning or predictability.

[@perfectogarzon9395]

Muy bueno el juego

[@videogamesandfilm6821]

The slowdown was much worse in DD1!

[@L3onardoSan]

Is there an alternative final boss like in the NES version?

[@turbomario]

Nope. after you beat your doppelgänger, the game’s done

[@GaryBeltz]

@@turbomario Yeah and I didn't like that Billy doesn't get Marian back like in the NES version and the PC Engine CD versions.

[@oscarmendoza3358]

se puede jugar en psp y nececita de algun emulador?????

[@TheNightmare_13]

18:10 quick. What’s the safe word? Lol

[@Odi2017]

Is there a way to play these today on the laptop or iPad?

[@OneCoinArcade]

Yes, easily. You can find info on net how to do it.

[@davidpeterson5472]

Yeah, look up Double Dragon Trilogy by DotEmu. It's on GoG, Steam, Google Play, and the Apple App Store.

[@AchtungBaby77]

You can purchase MAME very cheaply these days which usually comes with around 12,000+ arcade games. Should run on pretty much any PC as well. Go for it!

[@Knoob_jockey]

Seems you can't use elbows in this game, unlike DD1

[@user-cr2nj4yy9h]

テクノスジャパンは良い会社だったのにねぇ。熱血硬派くにおくんとダブルドラゴンがヒットしたまでは良かったけど、結局、それ以上の作品が生み出せなかったね。バブル期に調子に乗って自社ビルとか建てたりしたのがダメだったね。ダブルドラゴンもⅡが公開されたけど、Ⅰに比べて全くヒットしなかったねぇ。殆どが前作の焼き直しみたいなものだったし。

[@TheMrmagic101]

No tornado kick in this game?

[@persona83]

It has. But the player simply don't find it that useful. (and it actually isn't)

[@AchtungBaby77]

It's very difficult to execute, and most of the time you end up hitting nothing but air, so it's basically useless!

[@RootofYishay]

@@persona83 the CPU always ducks so move is unreliable.

[@mortarsquad]

my god, if u set defocus -1,5(x and y)and dark scanlines +30 the graphics will be 50x better

[@salemkid1979]

double dragons 2 layout -and graphics are the same as DD1, man that's sheer laziness from the creators.

[@Recon-cv1fe]

True. But also remember that DD2 was just a upgrade edition of #1. In this one you couldn't abuse the back elbow all day to beat the game.

[@nebularain3338]

It was never intended as a sequel. The marketing guys just forced it. Maybe do some research before you call someone lazy.

[@AchtungBaby77]

Granted, some of the levels share similar themes to the original (a factory, forest, etc) but the layout of each level is completely different. There are new weapons, new enemies, new moves, new bosses, etc. Plus the colour palette has been expanded too. Not sure how you could call this game the same as DD1.

[@OhioRiverFisherman]

@ 26:24 poopoo again

[@damienkobain386]

The ending though??? Didn't they just kill Marion in the very beginning?? How is she alive at the end? The NES version had a much better story that explains it ... but this version ... I don't get it.

[@SCOOPARCADE]

Damien Kobain It's Marion's mother at the end.

[@LUCKO2022]

The ending is easy to explain. The picture was taken before Marion was killed. The Lee Brothers got revenge for her death. She was murdered in the arcade game. In the NES version she is killed but she is brought back to life when the Shadow Master died, a angel came down from heaven and brought her back to life.

[@gr8gmr]

It's really not hard to understand.

[@Bloodreign1]

Marion is dead forever in this version, no resurrection at all, hence why she's not in the 3rd arcade game at all (but was in the NES version, as the last boss, Noiram, Marion backwards).
