Dude life is tough on the streets of rage. Don't be hatin!

God I miss this franchise T_T

 

[Manu]

That SoR2 cover. Perspective, how does it work?

 

[opticalmace]

Also secretly on the same street as the Final Fight 2 cover (note manhole man and choked woman)

I love that he's posing while dropkicking that dude.

 

[Cheat Code]

The fuck

 

[ExitPlanetDust]

I can't help but notice that Maki's pose was sourced from Blaze too.

 

[KefkaPalazzo]

We need more of these type of threads.

Top notch observations OP.

 

[Mega]

These are the best kind of threads in Gaming.

 

[FloweryMarston]

This should COVER it... Get it? Cover... Nevermind.

hahahaha i never noticed this

 

[Net_Wrecker]

This should COVER it... Get it? Cover... Nevermind.

My childrenhood is a lies.

 

[Green Wiggly]

Same artist, maybe?

Yes, at least according to this.

 

[ExVicis]

OP are you trying to say that the Streets on this cover are outRAGEous?

 

[Alebrije]

What in god's name is in the trash can? Is that a cat?

 

[cyress8]

This should COVER it... Get it? Cover... Nevermind.

Photoshopping before photoshopping was cool. I guess they had the same artist making the covers.

 

[Rentahamster]

ITT I realized that I've never REALLY looked at the SoR cover art.

 

[VeryGooster]

Axel is a fan of Gymkata.

 

[Brian_FETO]

ITT I realized that I've never REALLY looked at the SoR cover art.

This was my SOR cover art growing up lol

 

[Syril]

Axel and Blaze's colors on the SoR1 box match their SoR3 sprites. Maybe the person who ordered that inexplicable change was going off of that?

 

[IronicSonic]

This should COVER it... Get it? Cover... Nevermind.

Blaze is air-kicking a dude in the same way that other girl in the FF2 cover, dressing proper Blaze colors!

 

[Blueblur1]

Mind blown. lol

 

[Arkaium]

Look at how on the SoR 1 cover the guy has a skull and cross bones tattoo on his shoulder.

On Final Fight 2, it's on his hand. Coincidence?

 

[Sho Nuff]

Whoa, and some of the poses are copied from the Sister Street Fighter poster:

 

[lazygecko]

Same artist on the SoR and FF2 artworks?

 

[superNESjoe]

I think you mean Detroit in <any year here>.

I was gonna say Flint. This is what that city looks like when there isn't a fight going on.

 

[Rentahamster]

This was my SOR cover art growing up lol

Dat violent imagery!

 

[Whompa02]

Damn a lot of elements straight up lifted from other art.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Is that a cat wearing a gas mask in the garbage can

 

[Nexus Zero]

This is... thank you.

 

[opticalmace]

Whoa, and some of the poses are copied from the Sister Street Fighter poster:

Which ones? I'm having trouble seeing it.

 

[The Main Event]

This should COVER it... Get it? Cover... Nevermind.

How come I never noticed it!

 

[Mbrill82]

I'm loving this, it's just too good.

On another note, I would love a super high-quality print of the SOR 1 box art to frame and hang in my livingroom.

 

[Sho Nuff]

Which ones? I'm having trouble seeing it.

Blaze's pose and the kneeling "oh god how did I get here" guy in the SOR1 art!

 

[Phoenix Fang]

Wow

 

[NoblesseOblige]

I was gonna say Flint. This is what that city looks like when there isn't a fight going on.

Flint isn't well known outside the state. And I'm pretty sure Flint just exists so people from Detroit can say "well at least we ain't Flint."

 

[Manu]

How come I never noticed it!

 

[LKSmash]

This should COVER it... Get it? Cover... Nevermind.

I need to lie down

 

[sixteen-bit]

This was my SOR cover art growing up lol

Such a great deal. Look at those games!

Which ones? I'm having trouble seeing it.

The man crouching holding his forehead and Etsuko Shihomi's character doing the jump kick.

 

[sixteen-bit]

edit: DP

 

[SuperDowns]

Also secretly on the same street as the Final Fight 2 cover (note manhole man and choked woman)

Amazing!

This should COVER it... Get it? Cover... Nevermind.

Holy shit, it gets better!

 

[B_Signal]

the thing that always bothered me, where's Adam? He's the best character in the game and he doesn't make the cover

 

[Apoc29]

"Mr. Haggar, most people usually wear 2 suspenders..."

"Do I look like a 2-suspender wearing motherfucker?"

*drop kicks the tailor through the window*

 

[F0rneus]

Blaze is air-kicking a dude in the same way that other girl in the FF2 cover, dressing proper Blaze colors!

Oh fuck

 

[Jarlaxle]

Whoa, and some of the poses are copied from the Sister Street Fighter poster:

How far down does this rabbit hole go?

 

[FloweryMarston]

so the canon is that the streets were so full of rage that they had to hire haggar as the mayor to solve the city's problem

 

[sixteen-bit]

the thing that always bothered me, where's Adam? He's the best character in the game and he doesn't make the cover

Well, he's on the JP cover at least

 

[Davey Cakes]

That 6-pack has SoR on it and passes with a 6+ rating? Wow.

 

[Piers]

It was secretly a crossover before they were cool

 

[superNESjoe]

Flint isn't well known outside the state. And I'm pretty sure Flint just exists so people from Detroit can say "well at least we ain't Flint."

More people need to know.

 

[Slightly Live]

This was my SOR cover art growing up lol

Least we got something.

 

[Mupod]

Max's goofy-ass face on the SOR2 cover always distracted me from everything else.

 

[RustyNails]

Sounds like a typical day in Chicago.
