Streets of Rage 2 NO DEATH Max Mania World Record speedrun (

[@Anthopants]

Thank you so much! I never would have made it without all the support, trash talking, trolling, laughs, screams and good times. We did it :)

[@finestnostalgia]

What's next? Skate no death?!

[@nostromo2871]

Congratz man, truly impressive!

[@SteveFusionX]

Only just got around to seeing this now. Amazing work antho. It's been a wild journey 😊

[@METATRONS_CUBE]

Its time for Max NO DEATH 2

[@618shi]

Let the haters hate. They have nothing better to do. Probably couldn't past Barbon if they're lives depending on it. lol

[@stardustmotion]

1:00:25 that moment with like 1 hit left on the player and 2 bars still on mrX is one of the most tense footage I've ever seen in gaming. And this run is truely godlike considering I personally can't even get past stage 1 without losing one or two lives

[@king__iopa6841]

The fact that it took 17 tries to beat 8 without dying and how clutchy both 7 and 8 stages went, but you still kept going and won nontheless is very mind blowing and inspirational to me. These no death journies were a blast to go thru with you as a viewer :)

[@Mythos189]

Greatest SoR player award is yours my friend congratulations 👌

[@raidthanfl]

Man, I thought i was good back in the day. Id beat mania, but using 9 lives and a continue. This is beyond ridiculous. You rock.

[@Anthopants]

It's really rare for people to beat Mania, under any condition. Congratz and thanks :)

[@robbynines2445]

max is so cool. he shouldve been in every game

[@Anthopants]

There a mod that puts him in SoR3 and he's so much fun to play with :)

[@gungeondan9126]

The end of this run put a lump in my throat. What an intense, clutch finish! You are a freaking legend! SOR2 is one of my favorite games ever. I always play it on Mania with Max and Axel. I can get through it without continuing but I need the full 9 lives at the start 😆 Congrats to you!

[@jamesedwards6103]

Hi Anthropants, well done, high praise indeed, whilst not many are to be belived in their claims of matching your achievements I have. I have been playing Rage 2 solidly for over 20 years every day almost. I can get stage 7 no death mania playing two player alone, Skate and Blaze simultaneously, one controller with my two feet and the other with my hands, One day it is my dream i will film this too, hopefully get stage 8 no death then I will share a record as well.

[@Anthopants]

I thought I was the only one. The only difference is that I do it in my sleep, rolling over onto the controller (I move a lot in my sleep). Just like you, I have no video proof of this monumental sleeping achievement. Guess I'll have to settle for the proof that I do have :)

[@ryanstapleton334]

Perfect run. Way to go anthopants.

[@Anthopants]

Thanks :)

[@NYCHeavyHitz212]

Seeing the beginning of this video, I’m like, “no way someone is this dedicated to go this far and try again” because I know the death and reset was coming. “Impossible” achievements are so great to see. Thanks for this and congrats.

[@DJNeoncat]

That is an amazing deathless run! You sir, are a streets of rage god!

[@Anthopants]

Thank you :)

[@JudgmentStorm]

It got really close during the last battle, with Mr. X getting you down to a sliver of life- but you did it. Also, that quick kill on Jet was sweet. Congratulations!

[@thiagopastori]

you did it! congrats man, you definitely earn this milestone

[@Anthopants]

Thank you, I appreciate it :)

[@troysmith9905]

Antho, the numbers speak for themselves. Fact is, all your numbers have noticeably grown since going for these no death runs. The SOR community just assumes that we are a small community and we are always going to stay that way, but you look at real statistics and those numbers get a little less smaller each month. It's because most people understand how beyond ridiculous this is. Even a gamer who is in general pretty good at games like they can pick up just about any game and do well on it you can hand them the controller and they'll get totally destroyed on it and maybe make it to level 4 or 5 at best before a game over if they start with 1 life. These guys are getting through it without ever dying! People know what this means.

[@wailer27]

i think the numbers might be low because this is such a sad as fuck thing to be doing with your life... maybe?

The mrx battle and the way you survived with a couple of pixels of health left has to be one of the most amazing things ever witnessed in a video game.

[@zero9teengaming703]

[@NeoArcadiaSWGAT]

So you made it ! I've been watching your progress for months, your skills are beyond everything I've ever seen. Huge congrats, I still can't imagine how resilient you are ! This is a wonderful achievement for a very deserving player. You made history with Axel, now with max ! Hooray for Anthopants, the master of all SoR series. Greetings from France !

[@megadriveleo]

I think the least common SIGNAL is the D.Signal, appearing once at stage 7, after that it´s the P.Signal, appearing like eight times at stage 3.

Gratz man. I watch your channel for about 3 years, and it's only getting more impressive! :)

[@trl9380]

You are definitely the goat of this game

[@nightstormkurai6084]

Well done Antho! I've seen a lot of attempts with Max and you almost always was very close to your goal (Stage 7-2 or 8-2 where extremelly hard to deal with enemies even if player have skills ). I'm glad to witness this run on stream : ) Interesting what be your next goal

[@vinceorbe8539]

No death is hard, dude. But glad you did it. Awesome skills you have. I watched TAS before and that person proves of not losing even a single life, even if he is addicted of using offensive specials.

[@Anthopants]

Thanks. I pulled it off first with Axel. TAS is not a good representation of what real-time playing is like. This game is outlandishly random :)

[@NickSmokes]

bro your insane at SOR good work

Thanks :)

[@konnichiwa1981]

So proud of you anthopants!! I wish I saw this run when it was live. I’m so impressed how much your channel has grown, and you continue to make amazing content. I hope to see you stream again as I have been gone. You’ve inspired myself and others to not give up, push through the resets and crush sor2. CRAZY no death!! Keep up the good work!!!

Max has a slow jab and walk speed but other than that he's faster in every way and the best to speedrun the game with. Congratz on your 1cc normal :)

[@Chrismario880]

The main reason I wanted to watch this video is I definitely needed to see what your reaction is gonna be when you make the final deadly hit on Mr. X! Tbh I remember when I have had similar emotion moments after I completed the Maniac Mode in Street Fighter EX 2 Plus with all characters! 😋😋 😋 😋 So tell me Antho what was it like right after you've beaten the game with Max and with no death??? 😜

[@kevinferguson5979]

Random fact Abadede (wrestler boss) move list is slightly different on "very easy" and "easy" mode, he will do a throw attack which you can easily land from, and also grab you and pull a spanner out of his pants whacking you with it for weak damage. you never see him do these on harder difficulties least I haven't.

[@Anthopants]

Instead of the throw, he suplexs you, which you can't land from. I've never seen the spanner on the higher difficulties. His running punch move has a lot less startup frames, he looks like a character from Scooby Doo on the lower difficulties :)

[@kevinferguson5979]

@@Anthopants yea its the only bad guy in the game that seems to have a different behaviour pattern dependent on the difficulty to my recollection anyway, I swear he did a throw move that you could land from its rare and only does it on lower difficulty's to my knowledge but its been a long time since I've tried it, love the games, love the videos bud awesome to see someone master it so to speak, used to play all of them a lot but SOR2 is my favourite (but there all good in my opinion), I could complete it on Mania with only losing a few life's, never thought it was possible to do a deathless run up until recently by chance stumbling across your vids, I'll stay tuned to see any other achievements. all the best
