Streets of Rage 2/Bare Knuckle II Sub Boss 2: Shiva

[PoIaris]

0:45 Moonwalk dodging like a boss XD

[KennethMoreland]

*Axel punches Shiva in the face*

Shiva: ....

*Returns with a flaming spin kick*

[TheAlmightySomething]

The first 5 seconds of this video sum up the Shiva fight perfectly.

[TheKrustaceox]

Man...Just look at the sun in the background! It cant be more epic

[NigeThePython]

haha you got lashed with shivas kick after 1 jab!!!! nice!

actually he is lashing you and you panic into *get as far away and hit forward forward punch which hits from the floor to a high hit in 1 chicken step* lol!!! hahahaha , im just messing about lol not actually seriously making fun! was only sarcasm lol dont freak! just playing!

[gigas81]

Shiva controls the fight beginning to end. He is so hardcore his counter to punches is some reverse overhead axe kick!! haha! O_o!!

[Julienfun]

Shiva is badass, really badass !

[fishagotit]

i think the real reason mr. x pistol whips you isnt because you invade his fortress or when you beat shiva its because he just paid good money to smoke a cigar and all he wanted to do was enjoy it to the last smoke..

[GerudoUK]

0:29

Shiva is so elite he managed to break out of his programming constraints you were exploiting and beat you down.

[ChoujinStrife]

I don't quite understand what you mean.

At 0:29 Shiva got struck by the Grand Upper. However at around :32 I twitched and threw a G.U, so he rightfully smacked me with one of his aerial attacks.

I don't know what programming constraints are being exploited though, can you explain a little?

[GerudoUK]

@ChoujinStrife

From 0:20 to 0:29 you used the same move over and over again from the distance which exploits the AI telling shiva to launch a sliding 'final crash', into your fire punch.

You tried again at 0:29 but shiva, all knowing, all wise like the indian deity, feigned and launched a flying hand attack, thus resulting in pwn.

Epic fail was achieved when shiva moved left off the screen and kicked you in the face at 0:34

[ChoujinStrife]

Oh I see. hahah

I definitely screwed up there. XD

[CidHighwindRocks]

Best boss fight in the game no doubt. Wish you could play as Shiva, pretty much gets the best of Blaze and Axels moves

[deezy81]

You can play as Shiva in Streets of Rage 3

[samianka]

Shiva has great hair animation!

[Gamelvl84]

Mr.X: AHAHAHA I BET YOU CANNOT DEFEAT MY PERSONAL SEX BITCH SHIVA!

Shiva: What did you call me?

Axel: Why would a cool guy like you serve this guy?

Mr.X: Ahahahahaha! Shiva-bitchy, kick this guys ass to show them who the rea... HEY WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING!

Axel and Shiva: *Flying kicks Mr.X in the chair to make him fall out the window*

*CRASH!!!*

Axel: Thanks Shiva, very heroic of you..

Shiva: Heroic? This guy already gave me my paycheck! *Runs away*

Ah Shiva... that evil evil bad ass guy...

[Txboi001]

Wait, wait, wait. Why is Mr. X smoking a cigar? He didn't do that in my game.

[ChoujinStrife]

This is the Japanese version (Bare Knuckle II).

Mr. X's cigar was removed in all the other versions.

[DarkLinkNA16]

It's kind of ironic that Shiva is harder than his boss.

[theemrx]

Well one would hardly hire a complete weakling for their personal bodyguard now would they?

[metaXzero]

Well if Shiva was weaker then Mr. X, Mr. X would be waisting his money hiring him. Who'd hire a bodyguard they themself could beat up?

[spiderwanker]

oh man that game was so fun and enjoyably easy i loved killing shiva on hardest

[Shiekern]

ahh sweet! U OWNED HIM!

[mzklopyu]

you should see me when i owned them both!

[DBoyNasty]

I love Mr. X. There aren't too many boss characters like him.

[TheRealChadius]

One of the few people smart enough to bring a gun to a fist fight.

[uncleangus]

@DBoyNasty Erm....how about every action movie ever made? And a crap load of games too....I'm pretty sure his name is MR X simply because he is a parody of the typical villain/boss. lol

[szbproductionsALT]

this is the british version ennit (push 20p to play)

[Passwordcom]

LOL that was a great fight! although grand upper seems to beat final crash move.

Mr X is smoking a cigar in the jap one, thats cool. unlike the censored SOR 2 american one.

[ChoujinStrife]

Yeah, a simple thing like Mr. X smoking in the background gave this part more feeling.

And yeah, Shiva can't touch the Grand Upper!

(Although he is such an awesome rival to Axel)

[Passwordcom]

yeah i tried the same tatic several times, never fails but also depends on the position and timing, one step slow and the final crash will tear through like butter

[MaximusDread]

Greatest similie of Final Crash I've ever heard.

[Darkprince561985]

This shiva was well hard, especially on mania, bloody hell he was mad, in streets of rage 3 it was like, crap hes weak now.

[NejiKusa]

using that strategy is no fun

[Barry20032007]

Shiva is awesome. How did u get this game m8? Cuz it is my favourite SOR game ever.

[ChoujinStrife]

A couple years back I managed to find it at this EB-Games store, sadly all I can say is that I was lucky to find it (Both 1 and 2). Im sure many online stores have this game, and an other method would be downloading it.

[SMB3264]

Axel Stone is also my favorite character in the series, one of these days you and I have to play this game together on hardest mode with us both playing as Axel perhaps, that would be the best thing ever! Also I really need to get good as you as on this game.

[ChoujinStrife]

heh that sounds pretty awesome.

There are some emulators around with netplay, but they seem to mess up for me. Hopefully I'll find a working one soon. (Although I don't think it will allow us to use 2 Axels at once sadly :/)

[BendyStraw101]

I believe their was a way to get both players as the same character if you held down a certain button somewhere, but I can't remember, it was a long time ago...

[MaximusDread]

Yea, there was a code for that.

[SMB3264]

Without a doubt, Shiva is absolutely the best villain in the BK/SOR series. Let alone possibly being the best villain in the Beat-'Em-Up genre. FINAL CRASH!!!

[ChoujinStrife]

Yeah he's definately one of my favorites. And I do agree Shiva is one of the most badass villains in beat-em ups. He's pretty much the perfect rival.
