Hack description

I. Overview:

This hack is for fans to play for usual characters from the SOR universe.

The hack is primarily inspired by these two works: SOR2 - ULTRA 2018 and SOR2 - The Return of the Fighters 2019.

This hack allows the player to play as the modified versions Max, SOR3 versions of Axel, Blaze and Roo in SOR2.


II. Features:

* Axel and Blaze have SOR3 style appearances with some modifications.
* All playable characters can run (with weapon animations).
* All playable characters can change direction and turn around while running.
* All playable characters can jump further while running.
* The command to run (f, f) becomes more sensitive.
* The game has Juggling. I mean JUGGLING!!
* Neutral Air Attack(Jump+B) is now Air to Air. Works great for juggling an opponent in a corner or while playing in Co-op, but can miss when attacking a ground target.
* You can choose the same characters.
* SoR3 like combo style - you can deal full combo, without hit enemy.
* Player characters have animation recovery when they escape from being thrown (up + C).
* Charge attacks require holding B for only 2/3 second.
* Offensive Special no longer costs player's own health.
* If the player presses A while running, the player's character will perform Offensive Special (in the original game, nothing will happen).
* You can use the Defensive Special and Offensive Special when you capture the enemy.
* You can use the Defensive Special and Offensive Special when grabbing an enemy from behind.
* KO count of the players is displayed.
* Roo replaces Skate as a playable character.
* Mania difficulty is directly accessible.
* Stage selection is available.

III. Characters:

Max:
* Max has the fewest changes, the new dynamics will boost it incredibly.
* Used Pile driver patch (but replaced the sprite with a more suitable one)
* You can move a little while using Defensive Special.


Axel:
* Inspired by this hack, but sprites from SoR3 were used.
* Jump Down + B: Tatsumaki.
* New Grab Combo.
* New FFB. Spin to Win!
* FA now is "Shoryuken" You can destroyed Jet.

Blaze:
* Used color scheme from this hack.
* New, custom B + C attack;
* B + C. The sprite is drawn by savok.
* B + C new special effect taken from this rom.
* Jump Down + B: Terra Shield.
* New FFB.


ROO:
* The best representative of the Hunter family!
* Used some new sprites from SORRemake.
* New Throw Animation.
* New grab combo.
* Roo can now use the "headbat" immediately, when capturing, the neutral attack button.
* Jump DB: "Tatsumaki"



IV. Hint:

If you did a Forward Jump Attack with a run, and continue to hold forward, then upon landing the character will run further. You can use this to apply the new B + C Blaze attack. Example

Love thisCupcom5/NGKFlower2021-06-21Version 0.4.33

I have it on steam, and I have to say the limitations to this classic gem in the hacking world is just amazing. I truly love the juggling system added, it makes it feel like SOR4 in a way. I also love that the F+A doesn't drain any health, so I admit I've been spamming that in the juggles with Axel and Max.

I actually like Max's style more in this than in the original, maybe it's the run feature, lol. I have yet to play as Roo, currently playing as Blaze, who's slightly more difficult to pull off juggling combos. I almost got confused by her B+C attack (I thought it was broken!) until I saw the example video, thanks for that!

I give this a 10/10, I've played the old version of this and this one is definitely one of my favs.

Awsome HackNuevoRetroGamer2021-03-25Version 0.4.33

This is an awsome hack, it's has the feel of a new game in the series one thing I wish it had is the inclusion of Adam, Skate and Sheeva into the game, In MK2 hack you can easily play as different characters I think it's possible to add more characters to this hack. Using special offensive attacks (A + Forward) is limited which increases the game's difficulty and make it harder to finish if you're not afraid of facing challenges set the difficulty to Mania.

My complaints about Characters

Firstly she's modestly dressed wich looks absurd her looks in the Japanese version suits her better, red and bright orange really become her.

Her B+C move is ridiculously useless,it virtually never hits the enemies a long-range attack would be much better

(I'll keep updating this review as I play through the game)

Where are Skate?edwinmusic2019-11-30Version 0.4.29

Amazing Hack,cobgratualions! But Street of Rage 2 without "Skate" is like a hot dog with half sausage! Please ! skate return!

Amazing Hack!murdaonyou2019-11-25Version 0.4.24

This hack was amazing.

I intended to only try it out on my Everdrive for a stage or 2 but kept playing for over an hour.

Very addictive.

I wish you could hack this to the mega play version so I could play it in my arcade machine. Would be a dream come true.

But I don't think anyone has ever made a hack for the Sega mega play system
