I actually think this is a pretty badass ending. Adams in a pose basically showing that he's completely invincible, and looks like he should change his name to "Mr Big". Blaze shows the posture showing she can simply destroy you with a snap of her finger. And Axels body language complete with the grin on his face is saying "You think you guys can kill Me!?!"
There's a problem with this ending. Haven't they just destroyed the syndicate on the way to Mr. X? Looks like all they became the boss of is that chair.
I guess the goons either agreed to work out of respect or fear, the new leader could just rebuild the syndicate by either convincing or forcing the old goons whom they beat up to work again, and also there must be a WHOLE HOARDS, ARMIES of goons and people we haven't fought/seen in the game, the ones we kick ass of are just a branch.
Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster...for when you gaze long into the streets, the streets gaze back...THE STREETS OF RAGE!
+Denardo Ellis Jr. seem creepy because all of them are not evil, but their "bad" endings fit them very very well... Adam sitting confident and bossy, inspire fear like a real kingpin
I wish Streets of Rage 2 allowed you to choose who the boss of the syndicate was so that you could follow up the bad ending of SOR1 with a continuation of the new boss. It would have been cool having Adam, Axel, or Blaze in the game as the last boss. Maybe they could have made Mr. X be a selectable character so he could regain control of his former syndicate. Man, the possibilities. It would have been really cool.
I like how some people claim that there is no point to this, since you've already fought your way through the organization... but I doubt you took out ALL of the thugs of the organization. Besides... why not become the boss? I doubt killing Mr X would immediately clear up all the crime... so why not just replace him? You don't have to be evil, you can tone down the crime levels a bit, or get information on all the stuff they're doing and put a stop to it.
thats the problem becoming the boss mean sacrificing everything and becoming evil and doing every shameful and criminal things you're not the boss of some psychopath murderous gangs if you are not evil they will kill and betray you in the end if you are good
Well... I mean there is a sequel to this game in which you fight just as many thugs, so clearly there's quite a number left. Either that or you were only giving them the Batman treatment/he recruited more. Even Shiva was still alive in 3 after being defeated in 2, which suggests you're not actually killing anyone. Except Mr. X apparently, since it comes as a surprise he's come back more powerful than ever. But if just 2 skilled cops with some explosive backup made it that far then the organization really shouldn't have been as powerful as it was. Especially when you don't have the police backup in the second game. I'd agree just taking out the leader wouldn't just fix everything, but it just seems wrong to suggest you're still good in that end and are only playing a role. You straight up murdered your partner to get to that position, and while Blaze is more subdued, both Axel and Adam both seem to be letting out a laugh worthy of Mr. X right before the end of the credits. Just claiming 'greater good' isn't going to cut it either, since you take down X in the end anyway. If it was just about taking over to get information there was no need to take out your partner. So the implication is that your character saw everything the syndicate had along the way, got power hungry when X offered to let them join and killed their partner, then said, "Screw it. I'm this close to the boss. I'm not satisfied with just being an underling. I want the top spot."
@@kyuubinaruto17 Well, first off, it's just a game, so the fact that you can make it through with just one or two cops with some explosive back-up is video game logic. I wouldn't be surprised if SOME thugs end up dying, but for the most part, I think they're not killing them. Especially considering some of the thugs will go down with just one combo. Mr X... maybe they didn't intend to kill him, and Mr. X faked his death. Although, he obviously got pretty messed up after Streets of Rage 2, considering the condition he's in in 3. In any case, I would imagine that Mr. X did recruit more underlings between 1 and 2, and then 2 and 3, since there are new types of enemies and whatnot. Also, here's a possibilty: It was something you and your partner agreed on, and your partner took a fall and faked their death. After all, once you've taken over, you'll be able to get the 'body' removed and just left somewhere... at which point your partner would just get up, go about their own business. Meanwhile you're getting information on all the syndicate's criminal activities so when you know everything, you can take down the syndicate completely.
@@ShadowdaHedgie11 Not gonna lie. Your vision of spinning the bad end into a secret good end is a very fascinating theory, but I just can't see it actually happening. As someone else said, you'd either be killed by your new subordinates for ousting their former leader and people who want that chair themselves, or, if they were swayed by your power, they'd expect you to come up with new evil stuff to do or you'd get option 1. I don't think being a double agent works so well, morally, when you're the leader of said organization. When you're just an underling you can quietly observe and gather the information you need, being as passive as you can get away with if sent out on missions. If you're lucky you can be part of the bosses inner circle where he'll want to keep you close by for your smarts or as protection, in which you don't have to do any morally dubious things yourself, and can gather information and spread disinformation. When you're the leader you're expected to make evil plans and have people follow those orders. If suspicious things start happening, like every time you send guys out they're suddenly being arrested in droves after being so unstoppable before, suspicion would fall on you that you're setting them up. Combined with your former cop history that could be enough to get you option 1. So in your role as leader you'd have to let them be successful enough at destruction, beating, and murder that you'd have time to figure everything out to set up their ultimate downfall. Your role is the same whether boss or underling, but being in power makes you effectively responsible for all the continued bloodshed that's going to occur until that happens.
@@kyuubinaruto17 Even if it's not necessarily an idea that'd work, it's still interesting to think about, no? The thing is, you fought your way through a lot of people to get to that spot. You'd be able to keep most of your subordinates in line through fear, and those who do try to speak against you... well, you'd be able to put them down pretty quickly, either yourself, or ordering the rest of the subordinates to do it. Obviously, you would have to be careful. You would have to keep giving them orders and keep things going, but the idea would be for the local law enforcement to quietly call in reinforcements from the army or national guard, and then do a co-ordinated, simultanuous attack on all the operations at once, completely shutting the syndicate down in one fell swoop. But yeah, it's probably not at all what happens, your character just became power hungry and decided that they wanted the power rather than, like most of the rest of the police force, being pawns.
What a super classic game, puts a lot of the video games of today to shame, especially the incredible music to play too, but Adam is by far the best character to play with in this Streets of Rage, especially how he sits in the chair for the bad ending, what a boss!!
I remember playing w/ my brother and he accidentally chose yes and I chose no. I ended up kicking his ass then winning the game and got the bad ending! It was cool. A little different, we didn't expect it.
OMG the first time i saw them laughing i got so scared i turned off the power button and run away! i didn't understand english because i'm spanish and i was a little girl , that's why i chose "yes" :P
Adam = He'll basically be Alfonzo from the movie Training Day mixed in with Victor Duncan from the movie The Principal dressed in all black corporate suit with shades on with long black trench coat and some gold on his wrists and chest Axel = I can see him being kinda like the younger version of Geese Howard in Art of Fighting 2, wearing nothing but a nice sleek blue and black suit smoking a cigar with black shades on Blaze = She'll have all red on, but I can see her being more of an attractive and younger Cruella. Except her hair will stay naturally brunette and she won't have the obsession of hurting and killing animals for her clothes
Plot twist: one of them was evil the whole time. Using their friends as puppets, one waited for the perfect moment to stab the others in the back in an attempt to knock off Mr. X and become the new crime boss. Who the evil mastermind is all along is up to you
You have to play with 2 players, when you get to Mr. X one has to respond "Yes" and the other "No" then you both fight to the death. The winner then has to fight Mr. X by saying "No". If you beat him, you get this badass ending.
-sobs- Adam.....Axel.....Blaze.....HOW COULD YOU? You betrayed all that is good in the world!!!! WHY DAMMIT WHY??? -cries uncontrollably- I believed in you!!!!!
@@ChibiKami I thought they were entirely different characters? In SoR3 they don't really look like Blaze, they're just twin sisters who also happen to be a boss fight sort of like the Blaze lookalike duo in SoR1.
@@Diwasho nope, same characters. The SoR3 sprite change was to make them more distinct from Blaze's sprite, and even then they still have the headband.
Thank you, this really takes me back. I'm glad you enjoyed it, I first played it in 1991/1992 because my brother's friend lent it to us. It is one of my favourite video games of all time, and has some of my most like music tracks. I still listen to them. Tell me more about your child hood memories of that era of video games. PM me.
Actually, I kinda understand what you're saying. Just because you're the new boss doesn't mean you can't rebuild things: for every empire that falls, another one can be rebuilt. And since they're the new kingpins, Axel, Blaze and Adam can just hire more goons to do the dirty work...right?

@JohnACorp782 the fuck, you don't have to be a liberal to hate trump...I know plenty of Republicans that are tired of his shit....you can't take it when someone calls out on BS like trump, who's the snowflake now
@FuZzionQ This is only able in two player mode, one player (the one who wants to become the boss) has to answer that he wants to become the right hand man of the last boss, the other has to answer no. Then both players fight, if the bad guy wins he is then asked again a few questions by the boss, though I don't know the answers to them anymore. Anyways if it gets you fighting the boss, then those were the right answers. After you defeat the final boss, you get the bad ending.
@CircleFly He wasn't playable in them, but he was captured by Mr. X as part of his plot in SoR2, and he did play a major role in the third game(He helps get Ivan Petrov/The Chief to his speech so Axel's name can be cleared, and he later saves our heroes when Mr. X sets his lair to explode on his deathbed.
I was just watching the latest video by Whoisthisgit, and he mentioned being really creeped out by the bad ending music to the first game when hearing it in the sound test, so I decided to check this out. "You became the boss! You are great!" While they play funeral dirge-like music...yep.
@abstrakt237 There is no 2nd time if you're playing 1 Player mode. Mr. X asks you once & if you say yes, he sends you back to the factory level. Then when you get up to him again, he doesn't ask a 2nd time & you just start fighting his goons & then him.
I've played this game all my childhood and now, at my 28 years of age, I realize that there is a bad ending 😮/ He jugado este juego toda mi niñez y ahora, a mis 28 años de edad, me doy cuenta de que hay un final malo 😮
Yes you get to Stage 8 and Mr. X ask you to join him as his right hand man/woman. When you answer yes, a trap door opens beneath you and you start from the factory level again, stage 6. Good luck!
@@GoliathGrowler If they ever decide to make a Streets Of Rage 5, it's only fair that Axel should have a daughter as well. As for the kid's mother, it should be Rudra from Streets Of Rage remake. She actually has her own story, believe it or not. As for the kid's age, Cherry Hunter was 14 in SOR4, so i think, depending on the time jump between 4 and 5, Axel's daughter should be a year younger then Cherry
@Schnittertm1 Cool! Senqu!^^ I remember one thing, when my friend and I reached the final and our answers is wrong to boss` questions, this bustard was overthrown us down to the previous level! x)
There needs to be a Streets of Rage, like now, but old school 80's quality like "Big trouble in little china" and "total recall" type style. SoR and SoR 2 need a movie. and it has to have this song in it if they use a bad ending
In a really, really old Gamesmaster (or was it mean machines sega..) magazine, they did a review of the upcoming Streets of Rage 3 and they actually depicted Adam as being a boss in that game! Whether it was the last boss or a Shiva type joint I don't know but I thought that would've been a (somewhat cool but shocking) twist and a half..
This ending scared me when I first saw it, didn't like the music, it was very dark. Looking at that Adam camel toe now all these years later is even more frightening! What were Sega thinking?
IMO Adam's ending is the most badass looking. Axel looks too laid back. And his legs are crossed as if he was reading a newspaper and drinking tea, or as if he's trying to have a one on one chat with a kid, lol.
Without question, from SoRR, Shiva's bad ending is perfect. He's got this look like "Looks like your reign is over, X... Now I control the syndicate..." And it makes the perfect set up for, dare I say... Streets of Rage 4!
Heck Yeah!! When I got this ending, I was like: "This ending isn't bad at all. BECAUSE I'M THE FREAKIN' BOSS NOW!!!" and got "bad" endings with the rest of them.
exactly. That's not a Bad End at all. The Bad End is where she defeats Mr X and simply goes back home with Adam and Axel. The Good End is where Blaze tastes evil, and then decides she wants more :)
I don't like bad endings! But you can see that this is not the original ending! If you unlock the good ending, it says: ''The End''. When you unlock this one, it says: ''Bad End''!
When I saw this bad ending for the very first time, with Axel, that laugh scared the shit out of me!! Then I turned off the console and ran away almost crying xdddddd
@eclectica1 I'm not complaining about SoR2, just throwing out something that would have made it better had they done it. But SoR2 was a great game. The only part I didn't like was that factory level. I liked the factory level of SoR1 a lot better. What bothered me more was how Final Fight 2 for the SNES ignored the 1 & only ending of the arcade version of Final Fight.
only works in two player: when mr. x asks to join his syndicate, have one player say yes and the other say no. then you two will fight. whoever wins will be asked by mr x. again. say no then you fight him. and when you defeat him, then you get the bad ending.
That and, I don't think anyone else notices this, it kinda looks like Axel's wearing a THONG over those pants. XD (The black area where his crotch is, I crack up when I see him for some reason.)
I actually think this is a pretty badass ending.

There's a problem with this ending. Haven't they just destroyed the syndicate on the way to Mr. X? Looks like all they became the boss of is that chair.
It is a pretty sweet chair, let's be honest.
I think Galsia respects them after gettong beat up so many times.
Yeah but, you can destroy, you can rebuild. Simple. Also, the syndicate wasn't completely destroyed, that's why we have sequels.
I guess the goons either agreed to work out of respect or fear, the new leader could just rebuild the syndicate by either convincing or forcing the old goons whom they beat up to work again, and also there must be a WHOLE HOARDS, ARMIES of goons and people we haven't fought/seen in the game, the ones we kick ass of are just a branch.
being only the boss of the chair is why it's a bad ending
I love how blaze giggles while Adam and Axel laugh maniacly.
yeeeah those two were enjoying this a little too much
Blaze became the boss of a male escort agency. She is great!
Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster...for when you gaze long into the streets, the streets gaze back...THE STREETS OF RAGE!
I don't even know you but I feel like we need to smoke a blunt and shoot the shit sometime.
That was beautiful.
In the end, at the last possible moment, (Axel) would betray (Adam)... leaving his body to rot... on the... Streets of Rage.
Leaving Blaze to rally her remaining allies, in an attempt to clean up... the Streets of Rage!!!

There is no 2nd time if you're playing 1 Player mode. Mr. X asks you once & if you say yes, he sends you back to the factory level. Then when you get up to him again, he doesn't ask a 2nd time & you just start fighting his goons & then him.
All of those creeped the fuck out of me back in the day.
Blaze is hot.
axel and blaze 😱😍😍
maybe they can run busines toghether
Best couple 💑
she can be my boss forever.
Blaze fielding is my favorite character
Me too dude

@@neoecw7463 :P
Axel is psychotic.
Axel on purpose got the best expression.
I've played this game all my childhood and now, at my 28 years of age, I realize that there is a bad ending 😮/ He jugado este juego toda mi niñez y ahora, a mis 28 años de edad, me doy cuenta de que hay un final malo 😮
Yes you get to Stage 8 and Mr. X ask you to join him as his right hand man/woman. When you answer yes, a trap door opens beneath you and you start from the factory level again, stage 6. Good luck!
It is only possible to get the bad ending if you are playing with a friend when you meet Mr. X. So, it is really not easy to find.
I was stunned when i first saw it. My favorite heros turning evil.
@@eosilva play alone, close to the door of Mr. X push start as the second player. Voila!
blaze is beautiful
soy el unico al que le daba miedo cuando era niño las risas malvadas? xD
I completely forgot that you had a choice to join or beat the syndicate of crime. Great game.
BAD END
To be honest, I'd work for Blaze any day.
simp
Yes.
Getting the bad ending is hard, having to defeat your buddy lol.
@warteradx It is. So awesome, it deserves a fourth game, or at least a remake.
I'm glad you said that, because Streets Of Rage 4 just came out last month
@@rickmorty2244 I already know about SOR4, and it does look awesome.
@@GoliathGrowler Have you heard about the unofficial Streets Of Rage remake?
@@rickmorty2244 Yes. I even downloaded it. AFTER Sega's cease and desist.
@@GoliathGrowler If they ever decide to make a Streets Of Rage 5, it's only fair that Axel should have a daughter as well. As for the kid's mother, it should be Rudra from Streets Of Rage remake. She actually has her own story, believe it or not. As for the kid's age, Cherry Hunter was 14 in SOR4, so i think, depending on the time jump between 4 and 5, Axel's daughter should be a year younger then Cherry
Become the boss, liquidate the company the day after, FLAWLESS ENDING.
Why does Adam feel the need to open his legs that wide?
"You are great"
I know. Thankyou. :p
All this time... I never knew these endings existed. My childhood was fake! :o
@Schnittertm1 Cool! Senqu!^^
I remember one thing, when my friend and I reached the final and our answers is wrong to boss` questions, this bustard was overthrown us down to the previous level! x)
Mannnnnnnnnnn over 30 years, I had no idea about these endings, kinda scary in a way.
the inspiration for YOURE WINNER!! perhaps?
There needs to be a Streets of Rage, like now, but old school 80's quality like "Big trouble in little china" and "total recall" type style.
SoR and SoR 2 need a movie. and it has to have this song in it if they use a bad ending
God the laughing animation looks so creepy... Ah Axel, I see where the inspiration came from for Mr. X new sitting pose for SoR2
oh my god this is why i dont play streets of rage anymore! THE BAD ENDINGS and the laugh near the end is spine-chilling
i didn't realise you could get this ending XD, in all the years i've played this game
In a really, really old Gamesmaster (or was it mean machines sega..) magazine, they did a review of the upcoming Streets of Rage 3 and they actually depicted Adam as being a boss in that game! Whether it was the last boss or a Shiva type joint I don't know but I thought that would've been a (somewhat cool but shocking) twist and a half..
Adams laugh was strange, axel's was smug, and Blazes' was that type you could probobly hear it right now.
This ending scared me when I first saw it, didn't like the music, it was very dark.
Looking at that Adam camel toe now all these years later is even more frightening! What were Sega thinking?
Holy shit lol, childhood ruined forever.
Sega did what nintenDIDN'T
That's the whole point, THE DARK SIDE.
What I like about this game, is it gives you the choice to try and take over the crime mob, I dont think any other beat em up does that.
Think of it this way: It's kind of pointless to be a ruler of an evil organiztion when you destroyed all of it before becoming the leader.
Wow that music in the beginning always gave me goosebumps like some horror film.
IMO Adam's ending is the most badass looking. Axel looks too laid back. And his legs are crossed as if he was reading a newspaper and drinking tea, or as if he's trying to have a one on one chat with a kid, lol.
Axel Stone just looks outright creepy...
This game is dated now I can't play it anymore but I could always listen to this damn soundtrack which was the best in the series IMO AMAZING!
You go bad to stage 6 if both players say yes to offer of right hand man
@Larh124
Heh scratch the "spread the idea" part; I was thinking about something else!
I love this song!! Where could I download it than the arranged one?
Without question, from SoRR, Shiva's bad ending is perfect. He's got this look like "Looks like your reign is over, X... Now I control the syndicate..."
And it makes the perfect set up for, dare I say... Streets of Rage 4!
+THE OFFICIAL TBONE2004
maybe, but he seems bored with that position
That is perfect. Somebody grab the SoR assets and start programming.
In the real SoR4, he doesn't care about the syndicate, lol
@@solarflare9078 Which I now have respect for Shiva. He's very chill and relaxed now.
I much prefer the bad ending to the good, simply because of this jam.
I want Blaze to become my boss.
Heck Yeah!! When I got this ending, I was like: "This ending isn't bad at all. BECAUSE I'M THE FREAKIN' BOSS NOW!!!" and got "bad" endings with the rest of them.
exactly. That's not a Bad End at all. The Bad End is where she defeats Mr X and simply goes back home with Adam and Axel. The Good End is where Blaze tastes evil, and then decides she wants more :)
I don't like bad endings! But you can see that this is not the original ending! If you unlock the good ending, it says: ''The End''. When you unlock this one, it says: ''Bad End''!
@UnshackledMind86 It's because he's got that big teeth-showing grin the entire time, and he's so casual with his one leg propped against the other.
I think it’s more of a bad end because you just killed one of your friends then the boss.
When I saw this bad ending for the very first time, with Axel, that laugh scared the shit out of me!! Then I turned off the console and ran away almost crying xdddddd
Definitely the most BADASS video game ending ever. Nothing even comes close.
Interesting, i've never seen before
axel is gay
looking on the chair
Hell no dude
@eclectica1
I'm not complaining about SoR2, just throwing out something that would have made it better had they done it. But SoR2 was a great game. The only part I didn't like was that factory level. I liked the factory level of SoR1 a lot better.
What bothered me more was how Final Fight 2 for the SNES ignored the 1 & only ending of the arcade version of Final Fight.
only works in two player: when mr. x asks to join his syndicate, have one player say yes and the other say no. then you two will fight. whoever wins will be asked by mr x. again. say no then you fight him. and when you defeat him, then you get the bad ending.
That and, I don't think anyone else notices this, it kinda looks like Axel's wearing a THONG over those pants. XD (The black area where his crotch is, I crack up when I see him for some reason.)
I think Blaze had the best laugh, the others look weird.
Blaze's Bad Ending Was Betta Than Both Of Theirs Combined (They Looked Extremely Awkward😕)
Becoming the boss of a crime syndicate? That sounds like a W to me!
Love the music!
