Streets of Rage - Hardest Speed Run - No Damage/Special (1/5)

Complete, single-segment speed run of Streets of Rage using Blaze.

Parameters:
Game played on hardest difficulty
No damage received
No specials used

This video was recorded using an emulator but is not tool assisted in any way.

Notes: I've been wanting to upload an original Streets of Rage speed run for a while, and decided to just record a bunch of runs until I got something worth uploading. Throughout the run I use infinite combos and abuse invincibility frames a lot, especially during the toss. Part 1 of this video features stages 1, 2 and part of 3. It's pretty straightforward. The repeating knee trick I use on the bosses/enemies is pretty well-known by now, and I don't think it needs elaboration.

why did you pick blaze?

[XeroShinobi]

@aza4444 Blaze is the fastest character and she has amazing reach. The power stat affects very few moves in the first Streets of Rage game, therefore she's overall the best character to use, particularly in a no damage run.

@XeroShinobi Do you agree that Adam is the worst of the three characters? He's so slow!

[XeroShinobi]

@VenusHeadTrap2 Yeah, I'd say he's generally not worth using, unless you intend to jump kick through the entire game or something.

Holy Shit... now this is what i call "hardcore style"... :-)

O_o boss glitch

[ugforthewin]

@InexplicableHat the female enemies definitely shy away the most, and run across the screen often; but ya.

2:35 how could you?

[origamijery]

how do you do a combo with boses when you grab him then ungrab him he usually attack you

[misterneckbreaker88]

i tried hardest setting with axel got to level 4 half way through.

[64madman]

@InexplicableHat yeah pretty much but the ai can still pull off some cheap tricks any of you notice they will attack almost immediatly (pardon my spelling) attack you if you're facing the other way also the ninjas are almost invincable to the point that one almost dodged a police call

@XeroShinobi

The AI is pretty much the same for nearly all enemies (and they all shy away from attacks). It's a tad annoying to try and hit things that move 3x your character speed even when walking, heh. While the normal enemies I've found to be rather irritating in difficulty, I'd agree that the majority of bosses (basically, anything not Shiva or Mr. X) are dumb; you can either lock in a back attack infinite using the tip of Roo's tail repeatedly, or infinite grab, knee, knee combo to death.
