Streets of Rage 2/Bare Knuckle II Boss 4: Abadede

[kleber1983]

rastafah!

[PoIaris]

Good way to beat him with Axel. This game is not about mad skills, it's about finding the best way to kill each baddy. If you try to react to what the later bosses do, you get owned, hard.

[MrDevon1987]

Sadly, this neat technique doesn't work in the v5 remake...

[persianspider]

CAN SOME ONE TELL ME WHAT HE SAYS WHEN HE DO RISE UPPER?? SINCE I WAS 14 I WANTED TO KNOW NOW IM 30 STILL DONT KNOW !!!:( THANX

[sireg9vti]

@persianspider Grand upper

[persianspider]

@sireg9vti ah first thanx for your comment,yes i think the name of the punch is grand upper,but i wana know what axel stone says when he does the punch,it seems to me he says merdamma???!!!

[TraumaER]

best soundtrack of any game in the 90s

[ssjgoku75]

On every boss I actually fight them. Not spam the same move

[ChoujinStrife]

@ssjgoku75

Quite true, though it seems to be a rather effective "tactic" against this boss.

Keep in mind though, I recorded these about 4 years ago mainly to show the game's bosses and not so much to jerk off to my "skills".

[Kagurameerkat]

RISE UPPER!

[AbuOmar]

He's done more damage to me than any other boss.

[desterrrrrrrr]

GET THE PUNK~!!!

always said this in the 90's

[mechasam]

game AI really hasn't changed much.

[beatchef]

Hmmm, is this on Normal? He's about 10 times more difficult on Hardest

[NineTailedNaruto98]

@beatchef actually this is on hardest you can tell by how many health bars the boss has i would know as im fighting him right now on hardest and i must say this worked like a charm also on easier difficulties the bosses have less health so yea this is definitely on hardest the game difficulty has not changed at all either, the game on PSN is this EXACT GAME they emulated it and they have done no upgrades and no downgrades

[beatchef]

@NineTailedNaruto98 I apologise for my comment because I eventually managed this as well. It just takes an amazing amount of timing. On the PSN version he even seems to fake you out but it could just be bad emulation.

[beatchef]

@NineTailedNaruto98 Yeah I apologise, I managed to do it eventually, it's just really really difficult timing. He even seems to fake you out but that's probably just me xD

[UptownYardy]

One of the guys in the background reminds me of Zack from SOR3

[Maxaga]

how do you fight this guy if you're using skate?

[roboquaid]

GRAND UPPER !! LOL

[GoblinsStillExist]

RED GRANDPA!

[athropos]

Abadede is a dickbag so I dont feel bad at all about you abusing grand upper. But they really should have balanced this move better, there's no reason not to use it constantly in this game and in the remake.

[taimak123]

it's the ultimate warrior, lol!

[Raz3r572]

Delicious chicken? Or is it Turkey?....And it is in a crate...

[ChoujinStrife]

You know, I think it may be turkey...

But you know how it is, brawler food.

[samsonbloodjudo]

@Raz3r572 who doesn't like turkey in a crate they found on street? lol

[TheGamerr]

Best way to deal with him. He's only a problem on the last level on the elevator : \

[ChoujinStrife]

To be honest, I find him easier in the elevator. Since he has less room to move, he doesn't do his dashing lariat attack as often, and combos actually work on him.

Most people say this strategy is easy, but really its a double edged sword. If it connects, Abadede gets a face full of Grand Upper, but if the timing is off, I get a close look at his fist and biceps. Which hurts A LOT!

[Lenrir59]

you can keep him locked in the elevator, i was able to chain grand upper without him retaliating

[TheGamerr]

Well, he's not a problem alone, but he has a few guys that drop down with him that make him a little difficult to focus on. Once the others are dead and it's just him, he's not a problem.

[Lenrir59]

true, he is a P.I.T.A with the other guys, I just found the best solution to never stay in his line of pathing, otherwise he will 99% of the time Lariat you in the face. Think you have to utilise your desperation move constantly for that particular bit.

[TheGamerr]

@Lenrir59

Yeah I could see that working, seeing as by the time you've killed the other guys in the room your health shouldn't have suffered to much from using your desperation move you should actually come out with a lot less life loss if any.

[togurotheman]

Rise Upper=Broken much?

[ChoujinStrife]

hahah, thats about right. XD

[csm07cb]

@togurotheman move 1on1 has priority over any other move in the game. They had to make a character like that because if you make a serious run in single player you basically have to use axel just for grand uppa

[fishagotit]

It good to know there was a easier way to beat the love child of ultimate warrior and incredible hulk... i never wanted that man near me as skate i tried to beat on his head and well that didnt work out as i planned

[Saturnwalker]

Cheater.

[GerudoUK]

If you look in the background, I don't think anyone truly understood the hidden insult this stage was towards Americans (in particular, wrestling fans)

[ChoujinStrife]

You may be looking too much into it, or maybe not I dunno.

I do however, notice a Garcia in the background. (The common enemies in the game)

[AceofDlamonds]

lol yeah there was a joseph type, those bald donovan types, and signals, and fat guys lol......

[neonauj]

this game wuz so much fun to play i remember me and my lil shit brother would play this on a secret difficulty lvl and laugh our asses off on this one elevator part. god it wuz frikin awesome i need to get a sega genesis n this game again. GOOD MEMORIES MAN GOOD MEMORIES

[shadowfang70]

I never knew the grand upper move could stop that boss's charge. I don't know why I never tried it

[Jayhawker30]

BARE KNUCKHA~!*

[ojideagu]

@Jayhawker30 Grand Upper

[trueplayer12345]

That was the most awesome thing ever! I don't know why I never beat him like that.

[Zellig]

I HATE this guy. I can usually play through almost any difficulty and do well enough to end up with around 7 or 8 lives by this point,. an then he always brings me down to like 1 or 2 lives (i usually play blaze so trying a technique like axel used here is a lot harder and a bit cheap)

[megaman2160]

JIMMY SNUKA

[Flameup063]

The ULTIMATE ABADEDE lol, i say the one from Sor1 was alot harder to fight.

[378TPO]

THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR!!!!!!!!!! jks

[AnimaniacZero]

lol You see Abadede do the gorilla press slam somehow.

[HEARTBREAKsir]

I hated this boss ! If i knew it sooner that the Grand Upper is the best way to beat him i wouldn hate him !

[EinherjarLeo]

When I try Grand Uppercut I usually get a big whack on my face, oh well. Back to training.

[Fireproofretz]

is the only move you know the bare knuckle?

[ChoujinStrife]

You mean Grand Upper?

C'mon now really, if it makes the boss fight easier, why not use it? Yes I can fight him many other ways, but he's not that much fun to fight to begin with. Besides doing this requires some amount of timing and can be quite punishable.

The second battle against him in the elevator is a different story btw, and much more fun.

[outlaw2747]

Exactly. If he wants to be a bum and spam the same move then you do the same.

[JBthree24]

I hated this guy when I was little. Never though just straight "GRAND UPPER'S" would get the best of him. look at the fat dudes in the back

[ChoujinStrife]

Well you still have to time the Grand Upper correctly. Because otherwise, you'll get a face-full of Abadede.

[Bloodstride]

OMFG i remember this boss when I was young, he use to scare the shit out of me when he charged

[hack206]

the ultimate warrior

[Yoshi9902]

I was thinking the exact same thing XD

[capnfalcon222]

Is that supposed to be the same guy that was the boss of the beach level in the first game?

[mitsuninja]

yep

[martinnitus]

The Ullllttttttttttimate Warrrriorrrrr

[joannalees86]

I think Sega should have been paying out some royalties to the WWE - "Abadede" is clearly the Ultimate Warrior!!! What with the wrestling suplexes and the crowd... blatant theft.

[corona180]

I always played as Skate back when I used to play this. Very nicely done taking him out as Axel. I wonder if that would work when you have to fight him again in that small elevator. :o

[DemonPorkRAWR]

The way I fought Abadede in the elevator was that I simply kept doing a jumping flying kick into him. Knock him down with one, back up JUST A LITTLE BIT and do it again while he's trying to get up. It takes Abadede about 2 seconds to get up, leaving you enough time to back up a little bit and do another flying kick into him. He won't have any time to defend.

[ChoWY88]

Love the "Grand Uppa!" dance when you're waitin for an enemy to charge towards you. I do it a lot :p

[Gunnar00]

holy shit! Balls of steel man....never thought of that when i was a kid.

[Renegade466]

Hey nice video man, When i use axel i do that too. I'm gonna upload some vids of me playing too

[ChoujinStrife]

I look forward to seeing them. :^D

[Renegade466]

I uploaded some now on my Mixer152isback account check them out when u can, laters

[SeventhSun]

Good strategy. I never thought of that.

[ChoujinStrife]

Its mad risky, but other than that, quite rewarding.

[alvieao2]

I owned Abadede with Axel in the same way you did, ChoujinStrife =)

[17Master]

He use to smack me around all day. I can't believe it's that simple.

[ChoujinStrife]

hah,

Thats the beauty of the Grand Upper! :^D

[17Master]

If I had known that back then...... I could only beat him with Max.

[s86phoenix]

You kicked Abadede's ass.

[Jahtendo]

Abadede used to kick my ass! Now I know how to skool him!
