Thanks everyone! It was a pleasure. I have to be honest, I didn't know if I could pull off a WR during a marathon but I went for it anyway and I'm glad I did :)
Dude...What you did to Abadede, made you my hero for this game. As a kid, he gave me hell and watching you TRASH him with repeated Atomic Drops put a big smile on my face :) Thanks so much!
Anthopants Runs like this, that demonstrate a mastery of gameplay as intended by the devs, are a pleasure to watch. So often speedruns are boss-rushes, with huge swathes avoided. Good job.

For the sake of viewers who do not watch Anthopants' stream regularly, I will translate Antho's facial expressions into Antho-isms. 2:16 - Donnie... 3:24 - C'mon, man! The knife has priority over the turkey? For frick's sake... 6:19 - I got it! 7:37 - Donnie...! 8:10 - I got turkey, freaks! Now what ya gonna do?! 10:27 - C'mon, man, get it together. 11:48 - Get IN on it, Signals! 12:39 - Do I point out it's actually the second instance? Nah, I got this. 13:23 - freakin' ninjas and their bullsh... 14:36 - Uuuuugh that was hard! 16:17 - C'mon, man! 16:48 - Trying... not... to crack... 18:02 - I'm gettin' too old for this sh--. 18:26 - Donnie!! 20:04 - Why can't I TIME THIS???!!!!?!!!?!?!!! 21:51 - I'm outta here. Goodbye cruel world! 23:36 - DONNIE!!! 25:47 - Why did I spawn all three? I immediately regret this decision! 28:42 - Yeah, I got some time to make up. 29:44 - DONNNNIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! 30:22 - Yeah, I'm awesome. 32:12 - *cough* BULLS--- *cough* 33:09 - Hit the guys! 38:20 - HIT the guys! 40:40 - Why did he slap?! 44:40 - Nailed! 47:33 - DONN - oh wait, nope, never mind. GALCIA!!! 48:03 - HOLY F---!!! You're welcome.
Loved how Anthopants went for an actual World Record run (that he actually pulled it off), I felt he was fully sure of doing it, one of my favorite Genesis/Mega Drive games of all time, I honestly love the Genesis library overall despite having the experience of playing the games on an actual (model 2) hardware very late (since around December 2012 with a repro-cart of the EUR "fixed" version of Mega Man Wily Wars).
I have always loved the soundtrack to this game, every single song is a fuckin banger especially considering when it came out. Never has FM synth sounded this good. The song when you fight Shiva is fucking incredible, especially in stereo. It's too bad later Genesis models didn't have proper stereo separation because it makes that track so much better. YM2612 FOREVER!
Fantastic game-play Antho, I think you have appeared at similar charity speed-run marathons before already(not entirely sure)as I remember back, but this one was much more impressive than your previous run and your were more confident and concentrated, so well done! Probably no-one has beaten this record since then have they??? 😊 😊
I used to do exactly the same! Without Max's slide kick spam, it would be a bit of a different story. I do prefer Axel with his, Grand Upper spamming though. 👍
I GREW UP PLAYING THIS ON THE GENESIS .NOW IM AT MY DESK TOP , WATCHING SOME ONE PLAY IT , ANOTHER PERSON COMMENTATING , PEOPLE SENDING IN DONATIONS ,SPONSORED BY RED BULL ,WATCHING THE REPLAY ON YOU TUBE AT 3 AM !!! LIKE WTF!!

Congrats, that run was intense!
That was amazing dude. Great run and grats on record :D
Nice run - I’d be interested to know how much your wr would go down if you got consistent atomic backbreakers

Anthropants: *COWABUNGA IT IS*
Top class meme.
You say slow, but i see a methodical beatdown on a single take
The soundtrack for this game is so damn beautiful it brings tears to my eyes.
Love it when people recognize the masterpiece that is the Streets Of Rage 2 OST ♥️
Yuzo Koshiro
Also did the Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune OST
Best soundtrack ever. Hands down.
I have it on Vinyl, so goooood!
Anyone here after the launch of Streets of Rage 4? Can't wait to see that game's upcoming speedruns!!!!

You're welcome.
This game was my childhood. Skilled runner and great commentators. Thanks guys!
Yes! This game was easily the most memorable of my childhood. This run was amazing. Great job.
*Watching Abadede (Stage 4 boss) getting repeatedly Atomic Dropped*
Me: Up yours Abadede! 🖕🏼 This is for all the times you’ve given me hell as a kid!
No aliens, it’s a haunted house in an amusement park.
Congratulations Antho! That was an amazing run!
Damn, what a run! Seeing the strats for stage 6 on maneuvering Souther without having to deal with Stealth was pretty insightful. Amazing
The music is so damn good, from second 1. I can't wait for Streets of Rage 4.
The soundtrack from the game is Amazing! Yuzo koshiro is a GENIUS!!
So happy to see this back, amazing run.
Well done Anthopants! Best SoR2 & 3 player ever!
One of my all time favorite games
The commentry was excellent on this.. carried it thru great. Awesome run mate 🙌
This commentary is really good.
Best soundtrack ever in any game
Anthopants never fails.
Excellent performance. Fantastic commentary. Thank you.
that concentration , great run mate
14:45 This stage is an amusement park
So this stage is just the alien part of the amusement park
Loved how Anthopants went for an actual World Record run (that he actually pulled it off), I felt he was fully sure of doing it, one of my favorite Genesis/Mega Drive games of all time, I honestly love the Genesis library overall despite having the experience of playing the games on an actual (model 2) hardware very late (since around December 2012 with a repro-cart of the EUR "fixed" version of Mega Man Wily Wars).
Hell yeah! Awesome run!
Many fond memories playing this growing up! Wish they'd add somebody from Streets into Tekken7.. Pumped for SoR4 tho 🙌🏻
This game is my childhood! 😄 I love that this run gets some love!

YM2612 FOREVER!
Absolutely incredible!
sweet memories. thank you for the run
"As long as he has the turkey, he's fine."
Lol, 90s as hell, lol.
Your skills are phenomenal!
Way to go Antho! Nice WR!
It’s a shame the high score stops at 999,999 because I would love to know what he actually would have gotten.
Amazing run!
3:33 I didn't know Junkrat had a cameo.
Stage 7 elevator... Yep. The place me and my brother lost the first time we played on Mania. Hahaha
Yeah stage seven is always hell hardest in the game for me
A world record in a marathon! Cool :D congratz Anthopants
What a fucking unit. Great job, Antho!
Fantastic game-play Antho, I think you have appeared at similar charity speed-run marathons before already(not entirely sure)as I remember back, but this one was much more impressive than your previous run and your were more confident and concentrated, so well done!
Probably no-one has beaten this record since then have they??? 😊 😊
That Stage 8 music!
that music though
That was sick mate 👌
Well played! Great game
Amazing run! Great job!
Stage 4 best track in the game.Rarely see good synthesized songs in the early 90's fighting games.
*beat-em ups
best game ever
IMPRESSIVE
This game is too good
My name is Donovan can't believe I'm in this game😂😂😂
😂😂
One of the best runs in gdq.
AND THAT'S WORLD RECORD! NICE!
I used to do exactly the same! Without Max's slide kick spam, it would be a bit of a different story.
I do prefer Axel with his, Grand Upper spamming though. 👍
Never seen anyone take down Shiva so fast!
Really impressive, I thought was good on that game but...outstanding.
The Soundtracks in this game is one of the best!!!!!!!!
Awesome!
I GREW UP PLAYING THIS ON THE GENESIS .NOW IM AT MY DESK TOP , WATCHING SOME ONE PLAY IT , ANOTHER PERSON COMMENTATING , PEOPLE SENDING IN DONATIONS ,SPONSORED BY RED BULL ,WATCHING THE REPLAY ON YOU TUBE AT 3 AM !!! LIKE WTF!!
I thought the creepy Geiger portion of the game was you inside a haunted house/area of sorts. You do go to various locales in that amusement Park.
Is mania really really hard I never played on mania
SoR2 = Best soundtrack in video game history!
SourPls x1000
Always bet on max.
Never knew some of the enemies in SOR2 were references of HNK characters.
how did he not damage by enemies when they grab and throw you and land without taking anydamage at all ?
You can do this by holding both up and jump anytime you get thrown into the air. Saved my butt quite a few times
Hi all,
Just curious. What console was this played on?
Sega Genesis/megadrive
He should of just fought the Jets in stage 6 there's no problem
👍👍👍👍
Nice
The memories of this game on the Genesis. 😃😃😃😃
Ni siquiera lo esta intentando es natural su run
