Both series have three games each so which one do you like the most?

I like Final Fight series more than SOR mainly because first Final fight is awesome! Streets of Rage series indeed have awesome music but still......nothing defeats almighty Final fight.

I like them both. The fact that back in 1991 when Final Fight and Streets of Rage was released for the Snes and Genesis respectively and only SoR had 2 player action woul have probably made me sway towards to SOR...if it were still in 1991.

BUt now, i would have to say that Final Fight on the Sega CD beats them all. Great Music.

I still say Streets of Rage 2 is the best beat 'em up ever made. I loved Final Fight, but there's just too little to do.

Dunno bout you guys but when I play Final Fight I feel clean. When I play SOR, I feel gritty and dirty. I gotta give it to SOR series, but I'll gladly play the Final Fight games as well.

On a side note, The Combatribes was a cool beat 'em up as well. Giant Swing! <IMG SRC="smilies/glee.gif" border="0">

It is a tough call, but I couldn't agree with you more, Liquid.

SOR2 was a pretty damn sweet game. the only final fight i really liked was the original. I had fun with all the Streets. SOR was a console game. Final Fight was better in the arcade

That's pretty much my wavelength....all the home versions of FF lacked something...SNES was missing a lot, the Sega CD version kinda played off (Guy and Cody's combos were way too slow but the music rocked!). If you pit the home versions of Final Fight against SOR2, Streets wins hands down. If you match the arcade one against SOR2, you got trouble. Most people will argue that Double Dragon started the side scrolling beat em up craze, but that's like saying Karate Champ started the fighting game insanity. Street Fighter 2 gave birth to that revolution, and Capcom also did the same with Final Fight. Plus, how many of those old beat-em-ups are actually fun to play anymore? Final Fight is one of the few.

PS- Warriors Of Fate (aka Tenchi Wo Kurau 2) also earns a serious mention. Fucking wicked beat em up too.

Yes, great game as well. I also like the D&D games in the arcade. (Saturn is good, but not perfect by any means)

DOUBLE K.O.!

I like both of them. Each has its respective good points.

Final Fight:
-The one that really started it all.
-Guy's off-the-wall kick is the signature move of the game.
-Variety in weapons (you can find a Masamura).
-Bosses are real SOBs.
-Very good BGM.
-Interesting variety of life-up items (Whisky? Beer? <IMG SRC="smilies/loco.gif" border="0"> ABC gum?)
-A lil' bit o' blood if you knife someone or slash them with a sword.

Streets of Rage 2:
-4 characters (one more than FF).
-Skate is pretty cool.
-Blaze uses a knife differently than the guys do. Get in close to an enemy and you can dish out multiple hits.
-Max's lead pipe attack will hit an enemy who is behind him in the early part of the swing.
-You have two desperation moves to choose from.
-Each character has a f,f+A move (i.e. Max's slide kick)
-Earthshattering BGM thanks to Yuzo Koshiro!
-Smack sounds are better than FF (if you hit someone with the lead pipe, there's a nice CRASH)
-Unlike the home version of Final Fight, it supports 2 players.

OK...who do you think would win a duel- Mr. X or Belger? <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0"> My money's on Mr. X.

oh shit, this is a great question.

For me it would definitly be SoR as in the 16bit era I was a sega kid. I have many fond memories of getting the gen and beating the shit out of SoR1 at christmas with my brother. Then SoR2 next christmas. Gen is the best system ever.

However Final Fight was a blast to play whenever I went to the arcade and Ground Round.

Looking back now, I still love SoR1/2, the game was perfect then and can still woop ass today.

Never touched SOR so I'm siding with FF. The D&D series was by far the best beat-em up Capcom put out (Especially in the arcade!). What blissful memories of my friends and I going all out, trying to find every hidden nock and path there was in the 2nd game!.

Sorry guys but I have to dissagree. Even tho Final Fight was awesome within itself I felt that series could have been so much more.

I have to go with Streets of Rage 2 personally over it. With multiple ways to attack, move & throw & with YUZO KOSHIRO's music, Final Fight just lost an real interest I had in it....

I have to say Streets of Rage. Final Fight was cool, but the game didn't improve that much from the first to the second. I think the FF series got worse as it went on. However, Streets of Rage just like a fine wine only got better with age.

I like Streets of Rage. I always borrowed it from my buddy to play on my Game Gear. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
