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

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.

Notes: The difficulty of stage 8 ramps up later in the level, and my mistakes become more evident. Mr. X is an ass, and to be honest I don't really have a method to take him out in good time. I probably should have practiced against him more. During the fight I almost get hit several times (it is really obvious where, too) but manage to get off clean thanks to some quick turning punches and a lot of toss spamming. Despite all this, the fight went pretty well. It didn't take too long and looks pretty slick in my opinion.

Comments and rates appreciated.

Close call at 0:37 You sure you didn't cheat? :)

[XeroShinobi]

@VenusHeadTrap2 Not as close as you think. The Mr. X fight was a lot more nerve-wracking. And yes, this run is entirely legit.

1:45 wtf no damage?

[XeroShinobi]

@azrial4421 You must not play Streets of Rage a lot. Tosses can be landed safely by pressing up and jump as one lands. I do it around a dozen times in the run.

Nice run man.

Just to add more speed to your run, you can counter the flying kick from the 2 bitches with the reverse attack too.

[XeroShinobi]

@Thitavares Throws do a lot more damage than the back attack. The jump kick attack the twins do grants a good opportunity to grab them.

Holy fuck.. Dude, you must be some sort of SoR -god. :O This run was so amazing, hats off for you, good sir.

[XeroShinobi]

I would have gone back to Stage 6, and would have had to fight my way back up to him. The bad ending cannot be obtained with 1 player. It requires 2 players to choose opposite answers, with the one choosing "Yes" winning the resulting duel and beating Mr. X for his position.

Gotta admit this guy cuts it close at some points, but this is legit. I remember using some of the same tactics, but I had to call in the rocket launcher on some stages and I lost some lives.

i am god. i beat this on hardest too but the difference is that i selected yes when i was given a choice from Mr.X. i still never got hit and beat the game with the highest SOR score in history. 1.234.964 the speedrun was good and bravo for @XeroShinobi

[Masterof7s]

Lol, bullets are no match for the might of Blaze's fists.

[Ezragstyle]

Man , its completely amazing . Maybe I need to consider you as the SoR God , but...Even God can't skip the intro.

@gsaurus4

I am actually thinking of trying to do a 2P mode with 1 player playthrough of this game and I'm actually going to try to beat it without using special or getting hit. I have beaten it before without special but I got hit (and died) a lot so it may be a while before I do such a thing.
