Fight'N Rage is the best 2d beat em up iv played recently it's so satisfying to combo goons until they explode into a pile of bones and it has an awesome aesthetic. The ninja is so fun to use he has that ryu hayabusa izuna drop and boy does it feel good to use
What an excellent video, well done, it’s refreshing to see someone list SOR3 higher than SOR2. Let me tell you for the best part of 20 years i regarded sor2 as a better game that SOR3, it wasn’t until i played through the exquisite SOR remake dozens of times that i started to grow a a new found respect for SOR3 to the point of liking it better than SOR2. Also, agree about Final Fight, often hailed as the “best beat em up ever” but i think your no17 placement is spot on. But yea again, great video, quite a lot there to check out that I’ve not played before
Thanks for supporting Jitsu Squad 🙏🏾 we're proud of it! See if you can find me in the background on one of the stages 😊 Excellent list. Many people sleep on Power Rangers the Movie for the Genesis.
Hey, it's an honor to play that game. I feel like I need to play that game again, because it's been so long since I have touched Jitsu Squad. I hope you don't mind me using some of your clips.
One game I was very surprised you didn't mention was to the Alien vs Predator arcade game made by Capcom. This was one of the best beat em ups Capcom ever made aside from Final Final. The awesome part was the character had moves that mimicked street fighter moves but were easier to do. Also Final Fight on the Sega CD was the best console version and nearest to the arcade and had all three characters and was two players.
theres one thing you forgot about the arcade version of Powered Gear S.V.A.E. when you play the game in three player and achieve the level in a certain time at full health, you can summon a power armour for all three bots to combine and become a mobile armour but it is on a time constraint and is only for boss battles.
very good list; my own would have similar choices, however my number one would be Tenchi o kurau II, always underated. The enemies are coded so well that sometimes it feels like the game adapts differently to each playthrough. It has a decent difficulty and is good on every platform is has been released on. My goto version is the Saturn.
I installed SoRRemake on my modded ps vita...and holy hell man its unbelievably good its amazing 😍 Beat em ups and Musou games...i think im home finally 😊
So you wouldn't have wanted a paired back but a pretty accurate conversation of final fight on the snes back in the day, even if it was a single-player experience 🤔 😮
Happy channel anniversary Profar🎉🎉 Since the theme for today is Beat em' ups, it would be really cool if you reviewed some 3D beat em' ups/Brawlers, like The Bouncer or the Yakuza Series
Hey thanks for making this video, I know this video is made based on your personal preference, however I think you are definately missing some gems in this video. More specifically, Dungeons and Dragons: Shadow of Mystara and Dragons Crown. If you ever update this list i would recommend looking into those 2 entries.
Great video Brother filled with lots of interesting facts. I agree SoR4 is my fave all-time beat em up. I never heard of Panzer Bandit I'd love to try it.
There are other beat em up games to be mentioned too, like there's a "Bucky o hare " that's also a konami beat em up game where it's a beat em up and a shoot em up at the same time, that game was made to be the last episode of the Bucky o hare storyline as well.
SOR4 greatest strength is it's difficulty options, Combo system and Leaderboards, but it's biggest weakness is it's online play. Shredders Revenge's greatest strength is it's 6 player drop in online play and it's emphasis on having fun (being able to spam specials) and being more of a party game. I believe if someone was able to combine both games strength's you would have the perfect beat'em up.
I only wish you brought up Final Fight CD for the Sega/Mega CD. It's the best port we got with arrange CD quality music, two players, uncensored and all three characters.
Please tell me, I used to play a game when I was a kid, it might be a clone of Streets of rage and Final fight, I forgot the name of it, and as far as I understand it is completely unknown! Too bad, because the game is really cool! The only thing I remember is that the 3 main characters look like Hulk Hogan, Schwarzenegger, Van Damme, and I al

No love for any of the VanillaWare beatemups, like Muramasa Demonblade, Dragon's Crown or Odin Sphere Leifthrasir... all of which are among the best in genre that I've played. Are the VanillaWare games I mentioned above not technically qualified as 2D beatemups?
Cool. At a recent steam festival, I played the demo of another potentially good game - Arnold Bounty Hunter. It looks more like the first Battletoads - there are not only fights, but also various adventures with platforming, hydrocycles. It also looks interesting. I liked the demo.
What is the anime that was shown at the end of number six and right before five. It’s where two characters are in a house/apartment with a the guy on the left walking to the window. Then someone is floating and lightning is being shot out? I’m intrigued and want to check out the anime. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Was about to riot that Panzer Bandit isn't here. I've heard 3's Intro and bam. Guardian Heroes is there so I can't think of a reason not to put Panzer Bandit. It's been one of those games that I'll put in any console, just because I never get tired of playing them. Panzer Bandit, Dissidia (012), Sonic Battle, Killzone Mercenary, PSASBR and Smash has been one of those games. I can drop any other games for these and will never get tired of playing them.

@@Profar26 No problem, use away!
@@KevTheGalaxybender Come join our Discord server by the way. We have a lot of combo enthusiasts there.
STREET'S OF RAGE REMAKE IS GREAT BUT STREET'S OF RAGE 4 IS SO AWESOME 12 BIG LEVELS IN STREET'S OF RAGE 4 YEAHHHHH I GOT MY MONEY'S WORTH.👍💪

Great list. My favorite genre. There are a few upcoming beat um ups coming this year that im looking forward too.
Excellent list!
All fresh and well researched, great work.
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it Meowzer.
very good list; my own would have similar choices, however my number one would be Tenchi o kurau II, always underated.

I installed SoRRemake on my modded ps vita...and holy hell man its unbelievably good its amazing 😍
Beat em ups and Musou games...i think im home finally 😊
Happy channel anniversary 🎉 whoa! you included 2 mech beat' em ups, let's go!! great list! ✨
truly must-play games for me, the mecha ones
It should be illegal for a beat em up to only be one player. I dont mind playing solo but the option should be there
No
So you wouldn't have wanted a paired back but a pretty accurate conversation of final fight on the snes back in the day, even if it was a single-player experience 🤔 😮
@@iansims2984Nope
Suggestion for jail time?
I feel the same about racing games
Happy 3rd channel anniversary.
Where is 'Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara'?
SoR 4 would probably be number 20 on my list . Remake is the best for sure!
No AVP? That game took combo mechanics to the next level. Basically a freeform combo system. Try it with a joystick for optimal play.
Happy channel anniversary Profar🎉🎉
Since the theme for today is Beat em' ups, it would be really cool if you reviewed some 3D beat em' ups/Brawlers, like The Bouncer or the Yakuza Series
Nice list with hidden gems like Vendetta, Guardian Heroes or Ninja Saviors. Well deserved number 1 and 0 too!

Awesome! Beat'em ups are my favourite games too!
Never heard of Panzer Bandit. Definitely gonna give that one a try.
You guys really need to try Skinny and Franko
Excellent job on this video
Have u played Dragon's Crown? Must play if u like Beat'em up & Basara games because of the RPG elements.
Batman Returns 🖤🖤🖤!!! love this list

Please do make a video about Bare Knuckle 3 !
Pretty good list but……no Fight N Rage???? Bruh
Great video!
Great video... what do you think of Streets of rage 2x? I've been playing it and it's amazing.
Surprised Dragon's Crown wasn't on here

Fight'N Rage is the best beat em' up of all-time.
Streets of rage 3 and streets of rage remake(fan version not the official version) are my favs
No Sengoku 2,3 or D&D Tower of Doom, Shadow over Mystara? I don't know about that one chief.
Bit controversial for my taste lol but cool list.
48:43 Will make you change your mind.
BATMAN RETURNS for the 16 BIT SNES is much better then the 16 BIT GENESIS VERSION.
happy 3rd anniversary!❤
No love for any of the VanillaWare beatemups, like Muramasa Demonblade, Dragon's Crown or Odin Sphere Leifthrasir... all of which are among the best in genre that I've played.
Are the VanillaWare games I mentioned above not technically qualified as 2D beatemups?
So 2 streets of rage entries but no alien vs predator, battle circuit, ninja baseball bat men, this list is kind of disappointing
No Alien vs Predator, No Punisher, No Cadillacs & Dinosaurs? that top 20 miss several of the best games of the genre
lolo no cadillacs & dinos, punisher, AvP????
Cool. At a recent steam festival, I played the demo of another potentially good game - Arnold Bounty Hunter. It looks more like the first Battletoads - there are not only fights, but also various adventures with platforming, hydrocycles. It also looks interesting. I liked the demo.
Alien vs Predator and The Simpsons could have made the list easy. Among others. In my opinion.
So we both have the same top ones exeption not having river city girls 2
Nah, SoR4 characters have up to 300 frames of animation. No way near 1000. But still impressive.
I would pay ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS for a simple port of Batman Returns SNES for the Switch.
Maybe more.
Serious.
I mean street of rage is amazing i played it recently even tough i grew up with tmnt
What is the anime that was shown at the end of number six and right before five.
It’s where two characters are in a house/apartment with a the guy on the left walking to the window. Then someone is floating and lightning is being shot out?
I’m intrigued and want to check out the anime. Any help is greatly appreciated.
The anime is called "Uncle from Another World"
No River City school /girls ?
Well this will fill an hour of this fargone yard work.
Holy shit! I missed The Ninja Saviors: Return of the Warriors coming to Steam!! Thank you you for letting me know and thanks for the video
Guardian Heroes is the GOAT
Was about to riot that Panzer Bandit isn't here.
I've heard 3's Intro and bam.
Guardian Heroes is there so I can't think of a reason not to put Panzer Bandit.
It's been one of those games that I'll put in any console, just because I never get tired of playing them. Panzer Bandit, Dissidia (012), Sonic Battle, Killzone Mercenary, PSASBR and Smash has been one of those games. I can drop any other games for these and will never get tired of playing them.
Ah good to see you again buddy. Panzer Bandit is amazing, it is the BEST PS1 beat 'em up game in my book.
What is the difference between bare knuckle 3 and sor3
Shaq fu reborn should be #1
Good video!
They should bring back final fight 4
Beat'em Up ❤
Yes, I agree.
WEIRD AND UNEXPECTED LIST. CONGRATS ON ANNIVERSARY
Haven't You played "Cadillacs and Dinosaurs"?
Advance guardian hero (gba) its a solid top 10 for those who don't know the game
Fight n’ Rage is numero uno (or zero).
Is there any physical way to play sor remake?
Link is in the description.
Game beat 2d, the best
TECHNICALLY STREETFIGHTER 2 IS A SPINOFF FROM FINAL FIGHT SO CAPCOM KINDA DID IT.
No battletoads?????
Guardian heroes advanced was the better guardian game
Very disappointing list. Apart from SoR4 and TMNTSR, there are no recent beat'em ups...
Jitsu Squad and The Ninja Saviors, granted the later is a remake.
Thank you for watching.
Streets of Rage 4
Okay, you’re talking about fan games now. I agree though.
