Description

VERSION 1.1

  • Character select portraits and a custom title screen thanks to Wolfric!

  • New palettes for Android 18 and Juvia!

  • Various adjustments and balancing changes. Nerfs and buffs.

The detailed differences between this hack and the original Streets of Rage 2 (USA) are listed below:

  • The 4 playable characters have been replaced with Hiei from Yu Yu Hakusho, Erza from Fairy Tail, Sailor Mars from Sailor Moon and Android 18 from DBZ.
  • Completely new moves and physics for each character. They each play very differently.
  • 4 new bosses.
  • Air Combos have been added, find unique ways to style on your enemies and do massive damage.
  • Holding the jump button while getting knocked down lets you land safely from all hits, similar to throws.
  • 6 Button Support. Back attacks are used by simply pressing the Y button. They have been buffed significantly.
  • KO Count can be viewed by pausing the game.
  • 8 completely new songs have been added throughout the stages.
  • NO CONTINUES. The stakes are higher. Choose your character wisely and make it to the end!
  • Mania difficulty (S Rank) and Level Select are available at the start.
  • Jump lag glitch has been fixed.
  • Slightly raised HP for some enemies because of the powerful air combo system.
  • Enemies are more aggressive overall.
  • New color palette for some enemies, to clearly indicate they are much more aggressive.
  • Remixed item placements. Hidden 1-UPs have also been replaced with Gold which is now worth 50,000 points.
  • Player characters now have an animation while in the air as they are recovering from being thrown.
  • Player characters can now move during the slow-motion after defeating a boss. Go for a photo finish!

Known issue When playing 2 player mode there are a ton of graphical issues when big sprites are present.

But requires to be very separated, like palette, sound driver, music, tiles, mapping and others...

There's no Streets of Rage 2 disassembly, people proceed to replace graphics and binaries.

Alright I got the app running! If you want, you can DM me the portraits for your other hack and I'll try incorporating them into it.

I'll try and see if it works for me tomorrow. If so, I can help with the insertion! So much work getting all these frames for each character to not go all out with the character select. Tsk tsk lol

No lol it is just a me problem. It is actually pretty easy because someone made a program that inserts the portraits for you, among many other things. My hacks don't have them though because every single time I try to use the program on my Chromebook it either crashes or leaves the portraits with a blank template. I am too lazy to do the other method that requires way more effort. Unlike my other hack (I even made the portraits for it) I will eventually update this one to have portraits on character select. I will see if I can get a fellow SoR2 hacker to assist me.

Why do most SOR2 hacks lack custom character select screen? Compressed?
