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

Stage 8 Sub Boss: Shiva

Grand Upper Vs. Final Crash

Mr. X's right hand man, and for good reason.
No one can deny that this is one of the best boss battles in a brawler game. Shiva is quite the opponent, matching you with a countering movelist, and with the awesome Final Crash special. Also noteworthy is his pumping theme song.

This was played on "Hardest" mode.

GRAND UPPA~!

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?

@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

[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.

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

0:45 Moonwalk dodging like a boss XD

*Axel punches Shiva in the face*

Shiva: ....

*Returns with a flaming spin kick*

[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

[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 !

[deezy81]

You can play as Shiva in Streets of Rage 3

[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..
