From Sega Retro

Hello, my name is Allison and I'm a brazilian fan of Sega. If you need help translating stuff from portuguese to english or vice-versa, feel free to contact me.
I'm currently trying to contribute as much as I can, mostly with info about Tectoy's releases and related scans since they were part of my childhood, but I'll try to add info about releases of other countries as well.

Regarding prices of BR releases

Brazil used 4 different currencies between 1989 and nowadays, making it difficult to add the prices to the pages. No idea if the admins can use such info but it was extracted from the official site of the "Banco do Brasil" (main/government brazilian bank):

  • 1989/01/16~1990/03/15 — Name: Cruzado Novo / Symbol: NCz$
  • 1990/03/16~1993/07/30 — Name: Cruzeiro / Symbol: Cr$ / Value: remained the same
  • 1993/08/01~1994/06/30 — Name: Cruzeiro Real / Symbol: CR$ / Value: 3 less zeroes (Example: Cr$ 500,000.00 = CR$ 500.00)
  • 1994/07/01~now — Name: Real / Symbol: R$ / Value: at the time it changed CR$ 2,700.00 = R$ 1.00

This is relevant because the Master System was first released in 1989-09 (NCz$), the Mega Drive in 1990/11 (Cr$) and Sega Saturn in 1995/05 (R$), for example.

Streets of Rage 2: Gameplay

Enemies

{{{imagewidths}}} Galsia
Galsia is a common street punk, known from Streets of Rage, with improved yet similar sprites. He is very weak, has low health and does not have special attacks. Like in the previous game, he appears sometimes wielding a knife, performing the same attacks.
{{{imagewidths}}} Donovan
Donovan is a skinhead thug characterized by sunglasses. He has a special uppercut that is used, occasionally, to counter players' flying kicks. Sometimes he appears wielding pipes, and he can also grab them on the ground.
{{{imagewidths}}} Signal Gang
Another enemy known from Streets of Rage, characterized by the mohawk, with the sprites completely remade. He is quite slow, but has the abilities of throwing the players and a sliding attack that can knock them down. His variations, except for Axi and Mavin, are named after the color of the jacket. Y. Signal wears a yellow jacket, for example.
{{{imagewidths}}} Biker Gang
Members of the Biker Gang wear a full helmet and, sometimes, appear riding motorcycles. They have a special punch which knocks you down, and they can also grab you from behind. The name variations are related to weather conditions, such as Fog, Storm and Typhoon.
{{{imagewidths}}} Hanzo
Ninjutsu enemies usually come wielding either a Katana or a Kunai, which can deal a lot of damage and knock you down, at the same time. They move quite fast, have a sidestep technique to dodge your attacks, can throw Shurikens midair while jumping, can perform flying kicks to knock you down and have the ability of throwing you away.
{{{imagewidths}}} Hakuyo
Based on Haku-Oh from Streets of Rage, their sprites are completely different. They have powerful flying kicks, can perform upward kicks to counter players' attacks and have a very strong palm strike, similar to one of Blaze's special moves, which will throw you away and knock you down.
{{{imagewidths}}} Jack
Jack is another character re-used from the first game, but this time he looks like a punk instead of a clown and has grown more muscles. He throws knives when you stand still far from him and uses them for slashing when you get close. He has a infinite supply of knives and can do moderate damage, but is quite easy to kill. All his name variations (Jack, Beano and Soya) come from Japanese bean snacks released at the time.
{{{imagewidths}}} Electra
Electra, known as Nora in Streets of Rage, and all of her variations, always come at you armed with a electric whip. She is the only female enemy found in the game, who first appears as a miniboss on the first round, just before Barbon leave his bartender position to fight you. Besides the whip, she can perform a flying kick which knocks you down.
{{{imagewidths}}} Big Ben
Big Ben is a fat guy based on Bongo from Streets of Rage. He has been demoted to miniboss and highly weakened in Streets of Rage 2. He still runs diagonally breathing fire like before, but it happens less frequently and can now be thrown away without the player getting smashed by his weight. Big Ben does a face-slapping sequence if you get close enough and can perform a body press if you get distracted.
{{{imagewidths}}} Kickboxer
The kickboxer first appears in Round 5 and have powerful kicks. The name variations are all after birds, such as Eagle and Raven. This enemy isn't present in the Game Gear version.
{{{imagewidths}}} Vehelits
Vehelits is a miniboss found at an area of Round 3 which looks like an alien basement.
