Streets of Rage 2 considered a home console game released as early as 1992, the overall quality is insane. It matches arcade quality in 1992 standard.

Streets of Rage by faaar, and that's even considering how much I love Final Fight. SoR is just on another level.

I gotta go with Final Fight. It was my OG. I play it all the time.

Streets of Rage still good, though.

 

[poppabk]

Final Fight was THE arcade I searched out when I was a kid. I don't even remember a Streets of Rage arcade?

I love all those franchises, but I’ll have to go with Streets of Rage. The latest SOR4 just further cements it’s legacy and was excellent. Capcom REALLY should make a new Final Fight though. It’s long overdue.

Streets of Rage is less repetitive (I would have Put SoR 2... V.S. ANY brawler).

Golden Axe (arcade) & Revenge of Death adder are up there as well.

Final Fight looks and plays great too, but this is not the same thing.

For me, Final Fight (Arcade) is the best game of either that series or Streets of Rage. The following is all IMO, of course.

Haggar is by far and away the most interesting protagonist to play with.

The basic attack in Streets of Rage 1 and 2 (I haven't played 3 very much) just seemed to lack much oomph (feeling of impact). I put that down to the disappointing sound effect, which admittedly was improved in SoR2 over SoR. In Final Fight there's a much more satisfying smack sound when you connect. It's surprising how much difference that makes.

The enemies are better in Final Fight, and certainly more iconic. It always looked a bit strange to me that the knife enemy in SoR just walked towards you holding out. I much preferred El Gado and Holly Wood in Final Fight who would throw them at you (and you could pick them up if they missed), as well as their jumping knife attack. Plus, they don't do this:



The range of enemy attacks in Final Fight is excellent. Some will try to get behind you, some will jab once and then hop back out of range (Two-P), some will stand off and jump over your punch (Roy / Poison), some will wait and charge (Andore, I hate you) and some will just come forwards. Some of the bosses in SoR one are infuriating. They're better in SoR 2 although Velhelits, whatever it was supposed to be, I always found lame.

The music is better in SoR, certainly.

I'd say that the SoR trilogy is better overall than the FF trilogy, especially if you take the SNES versions of Final Fight One. But the best game for me is Final Fight One arcade version.

I enjoyed Mighty Final Fight and Streets of Rage 4. Final Fight Revenge was poor, and Streetwise is a shitstain that should have lead to imprisonment.

Final Fight for me, although i enjoy Streets of Rage, 4 was great.

Shame there was never a sequel......On the other hand, Final Fight CD's music as one-hit-wonder as the game is, is up there with Streets of Rage 1's music...(Final Fight 2 and 3 were nowhere near as good as Streets of Rage 2 and maybe 3) Also talking about Final Fight CD, makes you wonder why the Sega CD was left-off for a port of Streetfighter 2, it could have had music as good as the 3DO version..

It's because Sega themselves had a hand in the development of the CD versions. It's why they're stuck only on the Sega CD and were never released in anthologies.

 

[WalterSobchak]

Final Fight CD > Streets of Rage 2 = Streets of Rage 4 > Final Fight 2 > Streets of Rage > Final Fight 3 > Streets of Rage 3.

Pretty close overall for me .

 

[Deleted member 471617]

Depends on the version but Final Fight CD on Sega CD is my all time favorite beat em up but if I have to choose the SNES version, then I go with Streets of Rage.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Overall best music is SOR2, but the best single track is easily Sega CD FF Metro Slums.

For polls I think you need minimum 50 posts. (not exactly sure about the count)

Edit: My mistake if Starforce above is correct. Had a feeling there was some kind of minimum needed before voting.

I think both are true, for his case might be due to 50 post, for my case might be for 30 days(which was told by one of the mod) since I already had almost 500 post
