[TAS] Genesis Streets of Rage "2 players" by Mitjitsu & Mukki in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/1064M
TAS originally published on 2008-02-19
A typical streetfighting game which spawned the popular Streets of Rage trilogy. This game is rumored to have used the same engine as Golden Axe, which is why the A button summons magic (sort of) to damage all enemies on screen, instead of doing some sort of roundhouse, like almost all other beat'em ups.
Completed on the hardest difficulty.
Compared to the previous movie (tasvideos.org/130M), this is over 10 minutes faster. Primarily due to the use of 2-players and a glitch that skips most of the last level.
Details can be found in the authors' comments (tasvideos.org/1845S).
See this run replayed on console ( • TAS Console Verificati... ).

Just like in real life, 2 people that have been together forever, go out for the night, and end up making a scene.

[@lecapitaine1017]

Hate it when that happens. I go for a night out, one thing leads to another and then before I know it I brought down a crime lord.

[@Skyfire-x]

This is more Mr and Mrs Smith action than we got with Brad n Angelina.

[@15silverblade]

19:29 this is one of the most weird skips of all games

[@KayKwasa]

These two got angry at each other, so they decided to take their anger out on a crime organization; in the end, Mr. X knew he couldn't win and committed suicide and their relationship improved

[@bladewingmcowl5842]

What a beautiful love story 😅

[@CultOfJim]

Axl (breaking bottle over Blaze's head): This does not concern you. Thug: But I can't just let you beat your wife like that. Blaze (breaking thug's neck): He said it doesn't concern you (stabs Axl with knife)

[@dmcmusiclover2995]

Therapist: So Axel, what seems to be the problem? Axel: So, Blaze keeps throwing me around for some reason. I might get hurt if she keeps doing that! Therapist: I see. Blaze: I’m doing this to give him a boost in defeating our foes. Therapist: Oh.

[@MsAmber82]

@@dmcmusiclover2995 Axel: But wait, when I throw you to the enemies, they don't went defeated so fast Blaze: ok, I admit it, I don't feel so secure like you for kicking asses, those woman with whips are so atractive...

[@andreasbernardi3654]

i guess the therapy work out well, cause they're still together in Street of Rage 4 😂😂

[@AnitaDaOk]

I laughed everytime they hit randomly each other

[@edu_moonwalker]

You've just described that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie movie 😂

[@jamariscollie1045]

Oh my god the back kick as Axel approaches blaze at 6:50 got me giggling

[@Oualouidji]

Stage 7 is pretty fun, with Axel and Blaze hating each other

[@CaptRiskyBoots]

I remember having this game on a 6-pak Sega Genesis cartridge that came with Sonic 1, Revenge of the Shinobi 3, Columns, Super Hang On, and Golden Axe. I made the mistake of lending it to my cousin and they claim to have lost it. 😒

[@Kilesfactor]

bruh, Blaze and Axel are punching through the 6th dimension what the fuck

[@cosmicflake3730]

Axel: **Exist** Blaze: Y E E T

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

the music sounds so good today yuzo koshiro really did his best

[@David_-it8qn]

7:54 genius!

[@dmcmusiclover2995]

Axel: We got to stop Mr. X! Blaze: Yeah! If we don’t stop him, we’ll be “X’d” out!

[@CoreyGoldwaves]

Booo! Lol

[@XenoGuru]

I have this on my Playstation. The first time coming back to it since my teenage years; I was like "holy crap this is harder than I remember it being"

[@praystation]

you dont have this on your playstation. at least not ps1. Sega was Sony's rival in ps1 era and they would NOT make their games to be available on ps1.

[@XenoGuru]

@@praystation I have it on PS4 in the "Sega Genesis Classics Collection" It still should be available for sale

[@juliocesargarrido4885]

this final was unexpected

TAS

[@15silverblade]

This is a tool assisted run (or TAS for short), basically a program that runs very precise inputs to achieve perfect execution, that usually are beyond human skills. Not RT play.

[@joaquintorres572]

19:29 whaaaaaaattt????? Queeeeee????????

[@HeadshotguyKungLao]

É um glitch.

[@AnitaDaOk]

It must be a Stage Clear glitch, Axel just let enemies hit him to death and Blaze stayed freeze in an attack position

[@Mitjitsu]

@@AnitaDaOk Axel respawns, but Blaze appears on top of Axel when she tries to vault over a grabbed character. Normally this would cause her to go OoB and be instakilled, but this stage works differently for some reason. It's almost certainly related to the Mr X speech.

[@victordaniel3248]

@@Mitjitsu i just managed to do that not knowing that

[@millrrs]

Love this game.

[@solarflare9078]

So many goddamn sprites onscreen at once. Could anyone count how many there were at 3:05 (Assuming there was 8x8, 16x16, and 16x32 sprite sizes, and yes, I am including the wind effect and the barrels and 1-ups)

[@larrymoses9529]

This game is over 15 years old 20 years old and I still like the music

[@anaszahid6298]

This game over 30 years old, It's from 1991

[@DougLima]

Dá época em que eu era feliz

[@jerppursh7570]

Finally i get to see one of my favorites in 30 fps

[@solarflare9078]

SoR1 actually runs in 30 FPS.

[@jerppursh7570]

Is that better? 🙄

[@bxyhxyh]

But why did they make this video 60fps? They just repeated the frames.

[@solarflare9078]

@@bxyhxyh There's actually some segments in SoR1 that runs in 60 FPS. It just appears the game goes at half speed once the gameplay starts (See 9:35 and look at the background)

[@Silks]

I hope one day to find a woman I can toss to disperse a crowd of punks

[@ectothermic]

This is how my sister and I would play this game, except we'd Game Over by Stage 3 from actually killing each other. This OST is still banging though.

[@noside.foxhound]

BARE KNUCKLE!! 😱😱😱

[@JSevion]

I hope Genesis Plus GX Wide will be able to support TAS files at some point. Would give a whole another reason to reupload old runs like this.

[@EmoKen]

16:35 Stage 7 lol

[@danielchrch]

So why are blaze and axle damaging each other? I'm assuming rng manipulation.

[@artstrutzenberg7197]

probably RNG, also for the SWAG/entertainment? Was also thinking perhaps to reduce the time spend on the end of stage bonus tallying (although second glance, it looks like this gets skipped). The tallying reduction---I'm guessing this is also why there was all the intentional suicides in round 7?

[@sikthehedgehog]

Enemies don't appear immediately and there's also a wait after each wave before GO appears, gotta fill in with something. Except all the deaths in round 7, that's to reduce the bonus at the end since the last round's score tally is unskippable but you still need to enter your name afterwards.

[@Mitjitsu]

For entertainment purposes mostly. Most of the RNG manipulation is done via the twitchy movements when enemies are offscreen or when either character walks away from enemies, because the AI has a habit of being tentative when being aggressively approached, but charges at you when your back is turned.

[@JagofettEXE]

I think they're just messing around

[@HeadshotguyKungLao]

Adoro esse jogo.

The death shrieks from the female baddies never fails to rip my sides apart in this game! XD

[@kwepc90thespeedrunner33]

Can you speedrun the bad ending next time?

[@AnitaDaOk]

What happened to Round 8? They cleared it without fighting

[@Mega_Mikey]

It’s a glitch that causes a character to go out of bounds, so the game tries to put them back in bounds but it sends them all the way to the end of the stage and triggers the stage completion

[@NaN-404]

Mr.X shot himself.

Blaze is a big reason why I grew up liking long, slender legs so damn much, hah
