Who do you use in Streets of Rage 3?

[3Dchris]

Hey all! Just wondering who everyone uses in Streets of Rage 3? I like to use either Axel or Blaze. Too bad max isn't in the game or Adam :( . I just got it, so I haven't even been able to beat it yet! I can't get past Jet!!! I used to be able to blow by him in SOR 2 (sorry getting off topic!).

[Zebbe]

I have Bare Knuckle 3, because it's uncensored. Not as hard as Streets of Rage 3 though.

I use Axel, his "Grand Uppah" kicks ass (not literally of course). I also like Blaze. Defeat Jet by doing standing jumpkicks.

Yeah, too bad they removed Max. They should have ditched Skate, he sucks and nobody likes him as far as I know.

[3Dchris]

What's the difference between the UK (or japan) version "bare knuckle" and the US Streets of Rage 3? I am curious to know. You say it's uncensored, but what was censored? I agree on the skate aspect. He blows! The only good thing with him was his "climb on the guys back and slap them silly" move! My brother likes using him, but I find him too weak.

I should have remembered about that jump kick trick with Jet!! He's hard in SOR 3 because he always gets 2 more jet guys to help out. Oh well. Gotta try it anyways.

You can read about it here:

The biggest reason I chose Bare Knuckle 3 is that you can play with the gay man, without GG code. I also usually want the uncensored version of any game, I think censorship belongs to the middle ages.

Yeah, the gay was kinda cool, just not political correct I guess.:)

[Zebbe]

Political correctness blows. I thought Sega wanted to be controversial (for example Mortal Kombat) and then they censore that cool gay man. ;/

Well, they wanted to be controversial, but not controversial enough to get sued by some homosexual rights group or something like that.

[Zebbe]

It would be impossible to win such a case. It's not illegal to include stereotypical gay men in video games, and I don't even think the game or manual directly says he's gay. Everybody just says that because it's common sense :). Anyway, they may have removed him because gay people may have felt offended and because right-wing christian groups dislikes people who are too different than themselves. Still a bad decision though.

[Mr Smith]

Ash, as I believe he was called, was not all that good to play with. Like Roo those characters are more gimmicky than anything. I'm a Blaze man through and through although do sometimes play as Zan or Axel, however, not often.

[Zebbe]

Ash can empty an enemy's life bar in just 2 seconds by slapping him up and down. He is hard to control, though.

[ary incorparated]

yeah man did i laugh when i first saw him,and i pointed to someone else in that gamestore that i knew i say that the character was just like him,he sead ah noh,and later he was gay afterall.man and that tune what horrible ash.Axel mostly.

[Raijin Z]

Nintendo played Sega off as the vile corruptor of children because of Mortal Kombat during the moron hearings. I doubt they wanted to feed Lieb-mann with more tard fuel by releasing a game where you beat the hell out of hookers with lead pipes.

I wouldn´t be so sure about that...

[3Dchris]

Who is this ash guy? I don't remember him in SOR 3.

[j_factor]

I use Skate. Screw you bitches.

[David J.]

I use Axel.

One of these days I will get Bare Knuckle 3... SOR 3 doesn't exist to me.

[Mr Smith]

Who is this ash guy? I don't remember him in SOR 3.

http://www.megadrivechamps.org/features/ash.gif

He was removed from SoR3 due to the obviously gay stereotyping. When he dies he screams like the female characters, his walk is an eccentric mince and his jump is like that of a ballerinas. He still remains in the Japanese version (which is known as Bare Knuckle 3).

[16bitter]

I use Axel, his "Grand Uppah" [...].

Oh please. You bought Bare Knuckle 3 so you could play as the flaming homo.

You probably play that game wearing a thong...and nothing else.

Sicko.

[Zebbe]

16bitter: In case you are joking with me, you have to forgive me since I don't see any irony in your message. But to make things clear I have to say that I'm NOT gay and I prefer unaltered versions of games with hidden characters, whether they are gay or not.

This did actually not sound like a joke.:furious:

16bitter: In case you are joking with me, you have to forgive me since I don't see any irony in your message.

Must be another crappy PAL translation.


But to make things clear I have to say that I'm NOT gay

So you go out of your way to buy the version of the game that will give you access to all that gay goodness, yet you're conversely homophobic when push comes to shove (double entendre)?

Now that, that's irony. :D

At the same time, I don't see any denial on the thong issue. Hmmm.


and I prefer unaltered versions of games with hidden characters, whether they are gay or not.

Sure.

So, this is how you are getting your kicks now, no?

[Benjamin]

Bare Knuckle 3 is not just about Ash but also the color changes. Blaze looks ugly in gray and Axel in yellow. What a stupid, completely unnecessary change that was.

Blaze > Axel > Shiva > Skate > Kangaroo > Ash > Zan in that order. I really hate Zan. Let's kill Max and replace him with some lame playing ugly cyborg!

What about the opening? Even that was neutered.

The colors don't bother me, though there is something a bit metro about SOR3 versus BK3's grittiness.

Zan is crap. I don't get Zan. Zan is uncool.

And WTF is up with the American cover for this game? I expect garbage cover art (it's evidently the only way to sell a game in America), sure, but who were they marketing this thing at? Why do the tandem of a boxing kangeroo and a balding, middle-aged cyborg (what?), who evidently can't even feel safe giving himself pleasure (or maybe that's his version of viagra, by way of electro shock therapy?), play such a prominent role? I thought Sega was the cool, mature hardware leader at this point -- maybe this game was the shark jump -- but I can't believe anybody over 8, maybe 9, would find this game's cast of new characters to be appealing.

So, yeah, on presentation SOR3 is a lame game. As far as gameplay, it's easily the best in the series.

I'll take its substance over SOR2's style.

16bitter: After reading all your insults towards Joe Redifer in the SNES thread, I was willing to give you a second chance here. But the second answer by you to me in this thread confirms my suspicion that you are just trolling around. To the points then:

• It's PAL conversion, not translation. NTSC and PAL aren't languages you speak, they're TV systems.
• Saying I'm not gay doesn't mean I'm a homophobic.
• I don't wear thongs. When I play Bare Knuckle 3 I'm fully dressed.

I suggest you read the forum rules and follow them before posting any more messages. Especially these:

• No racial, ethnic, gender insults or any other discriminations.

• No offensive or harmful posts/PMs.

[segagamer]

I use Blaze and Axel most often, and I also have BKIII and play it exclusively, even though I got SOR3 first. I was curious about all the changes made to SOR3, so I bought one off eBay one day for a good price in complete/mint condition. I just can't make myself go back to playing SOR3 anymore.

[16bitter]

By crying me a river, is that your way of saying that you hope I'll drown?

Well! How offensive!

No need for that. - Melf


16bitter: After reading all your insults towards Joe Redifer in the SNES thread, I was willing to give you a second chance here.

Um, Redifer insulted me, not the other way ariound -- or at least not until he initiated such exchanges. So I really don't care or accept any second chances on that score. Nor do I appreciate them, as any statement like the above is backhanded and self-serving at best, as well as pointing to biases that contradict such platitudes to begin with.


• It's PAL conversion, not translation.

Actually, the two words are synonyms. Which kind of matters, and undermines your distinction above.

Do you know what the word translation means? No? Well, let me help you:

translation

NOUN: 1. The process or result of changing from one appearance, state, or phase to another


NTSC and PAL aren't languages you speak, they're TV systems.

Yes, I realize.

To follow up on the tidbit above, PAL translations of games tend to run slower than NTSC.

Interesting, huh?


• Saying I'm not gay doesn't mean I'm a homophobic.

If you're not homophobic, why make an issue of it at all when you never were actually accused of being gay in the first place?


• I don't wear thongs. When I play Bare Knuckle 3 I'm fully dressed.

Well thank you for clearing that up.

Though, I have to tell you, I doubt anybody ever seriously believed that to begin with. Including me.

Which is probably the only worthwhile distinction in this exchange (other than that of the connective foibles of PAL as a standard :p) -- i.e. how to miss tone and point.

If this was some demonstration of how to do just that, well, then I guess congrats are in order. Cuz it was masterful.


• No racial, ethnic, gender insults or any other discriminations.

Is a thong joke also a "racial, ethnic or gender" insult? No.


• No offensive or harmful posts/PMs.

Well, that's more than a bit subjective. Kind of like most things on message boards, where people of different backgrounds share divergent opinions or have clashing styles as to taste, humor or how they generally express themselves due to their given makeup.

In some ways, I've found your posts on this thread offensive in their didactical histrionics. I suppose we each will have to bear it and move on, as I have to hazard that you'll survive and never were harmed by a simple thong joke, any more than I have been in having to explain it.

[Zebbe]

I won't be putting no more fuel to the fire of this troll. Don't bother writing to me again, 16-bitter, you'll be wasting your time.

Wait. Are you insulting Zebbe and I or are you insulting special olympics retards?

Either way, thanks to Zebbe's enlightenment on the matter, I'm going to have to report you for attacking a group as well as fellow posters.

Your days are numbered. All because of hate. A sad cycle.

BTW who is the gay around here dude,Uncencered hes not pointing at the gay dude.the girls are also more nude,youre refering to the gay??? i dont like the gay at al but ehy still if you negleckt that you still have a better game,less slowdown in the music extra adjustments more whores,not everybody thinks with uncensored Gay or Homo stuff,you spotted with the gay dude why hidden feelings,behind the tough talk.

And thats so Nintendo beeing so childish i,the games with blood on snes i can count on one hand and the total probably on 2 hands/games with violence then.

It's very easy to discuss Streets of Rage 3 without having to result to insults and flaming. 16-bitter, please keep it civil or you'll be taking a few days off.

[3Dchris]

WOW! I never realized that such a simple question could cause so much uproar! I still like Axel :) Even if he is in that dumb outfit. I think they changed the clothes because Sega figured that they have more than one pair of pants and one shirt, but that may just be me. As far as this Zan guy is conserned... I don't get him at all. When I first played the game (only the north american one), I didn't see the intro, so I didn't know what the hell was going on with these bombs. But now I saw that other site with the comparisons and it's all cleared up :)

I still haven't got past jet... :(

[16bitter]

Yeah, but not Bare Knuckle 3. This thread demonstrates why the cart had to be censored in the West.

This thing would have done more to tear away at American civility than Rodney King.

Noted.

[dougfunnie]

For what its worth 8 yrs ago I was Axel all the way and didn't like any of the others. Now, I prefer Zan (using a 6 button pad of course) his reach comes in very handy. I didn't like how Axel's Bare Knuckle was made less powerful.

I've recently been having fun with an Action Replay and playing as Ash. You should have seen the look on my brother's face when he saw that, lol.

[Henry Spencer]

I wish you could have played as Mr X (as in the form he is in Streets Of Rage 2), now THAT would have been awesome.

[nik]

Axel, but I also like Shiva.

[ary incorparated]

yes shiva is cool to play with.

[George Foreman]

I have Bare Knuckle 3, because it's uncensored. Not as hard as Streets of Rage 3 though.

Yeah, too bad they removed Max. They should have ditched Skate, he sucks and nobody likes him as far as I know.

WHAAAAAAT!!! That is the only character I felt like beating SOR2 with. Everyone else is too slow for me.

[Zebbe]

Skate is too weak. Takes years to beat up Galsia with him.

[Henry Spencer]

^

Yeah, but I think they improved him in Streets Of Rage 3, in no. 2 he was far too pathetic. Axel was the best.

[Zebbe]

Haven't tried him enough in Bare Knuckle 3. I'll give him a second chance next time I play it.

[B - Mark]

My Streets of Rage 3 / Bare Knuckle III are Axel, Blaze, Skate and Shiva.

Axel, Blaze and Skate i´d like than Special Attacks with weapons.

Shiva is a very strong fighter. He is beat easily enemies in a short time.

[nik]

skate sucks but I don't get why adam and max were not just tossed in for fun?

They had enough memory I'm sure.

[Mr Smith]

At least they used Adam in the story. I hate the fact they overlooked Max. It would be nice to have them both as unlockable characters. Skate is much better than he was in SoR2.

[ary incorparated]

/____
\ Thats why the man on the avater hes the best in streets of rage.

[Dr. Robotnik]

I use Zen or Axel.

Skate is useless. Can't believe they brought him back instead of Max or Adam.

[GriskaGyoran]

I use Axel, then I get as far as I can with him and use Shiva(yeah I cheat).

[djshok]

I usually use Blaze or Axel, until I unlock Roo, then it gets to some down and dirty macropod action! lol

[kokujin]

Axel, it's the only person you can realistically beat the game with.

[Da_Shocker]

I use Axel hell I use everybody in that game but I just don't think Zan is fun guy to play as. And to be a cyborg he should in theory be at least as strong as Max was. But if you wanna get you Adam fix try SoR Remake he is one bad SOB on that game.
