Re:Retro commentor* GamerC has featured the following video… It is a good video, and you should watch it… It is a speedrun of seminal scrolling beat ‘em up Streets of Rage 2, arguably the best of the three…
It’s around half an hour long, but well worth it… If I said the words “Max”, “mania” and “atomic drop” to you would you be interested?
Now that’s something very special indeed… I only ever finished the game on the “mania” setting once, but that was a two player venture, so the victory was not all mine… I doubt I could ever perform as well as is shown in this video. It appears that speed-runner Gavin Ward (or SprintGod) is fully versed in 17 different forms of “kick your ass with a quickness”…
Gotta love that atomic drop… And the methods he employs to avoid some otherwise terrifying beatings are pretty ingenious…
Now if only I had a copy of the game… It was one of my favorite Genesis games, so I would totally drag it out this very second… I don’t know why I don’t have it actually, I should track one down…
Oh, sorry… Thinking aloud again…
Via GamerC…
*When I say commentor I mean that he’s commented once so far and it appears to have been some sort of advertisement for his blog, but at least he was polite
No problem GC, thanks for drawing attention to your blog… As soon as I saw this speed-run I knew that I’d landed on a good blog ;)
I forgot to include some words in my last post. What I meant to say was thanks for the kind words Gnome and Jonic. Seriously, sometimes I sound like a caveman.
Ooga ooga, ooga ooga!!
Awwww!!
You’re welcome…
HOW DARE YOU STEAL MY CONTENT!! *Casts banishing spell in this site* Just Kidding!!
I’m glad you like the video Jonic. You should check out the Super Metroid speedrun too.
Please help yourself to anything on my blog. I have plenty of speedruns of other games you may use and plenty more I’ll post shortly.
Thanks for kinds Gnome and Jonic. I appericate it a lot.
Gamer C is always polite…
