Characters Introduced In Streets of Rage 2

Sammy/Eddie 'Skate' Hunter

• Dance Battler: According to his profile in Remake, his style is 'breakdancing'.
• Kid Hero/Kid Sidekick: Partly because his big brother got captured and he wants to help bring him back. It clearly runs in the family anyway.
• Muscles Are Meaningless: Granted, he uses his entire body for leverage, but even so, it's impressive how he can throw the fat mooks just as easily as Max does. Even moreso in Streets of Rage 3, where all the adult characters are unable to accomplish that feat.

• Butt Monkey/Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: In Bare Knuckle 3, he is knocked cold by debris (or an oil drum in the remake) after crashing his bulldozer into a support. See Drives Like Crazy below. His slapstick mishaps in an otherwise serious game have branded him as comic relief in many a Fanfic.
• Drives Like Crazy: He leaves the driving seat of his pickup truck during a chase sequence in the remake to throw knives and oil drums at you. It works as well as you might expect.
• Expy: He's pretty much Dug with no shirt.

• Shock and Awe: Her whip is electrified.
• Stripperiffic: More so by the third game, which was bowdlerised in the US release.

• Whip It Good: Unlike Nora, Electra's whip is electrified.

Fog

• Badass Biker: They are pretty badass.
• Faceless Goons: They hide their face behind a gas mask of some sort with a red light in the middle.

• Walking Shirtless Scene: In Streets of Rage 2, they wear no shirts.

Hanzo

• Highly-Visible Ninja: All these ninjas wear bright uniforms.
• Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja: Well, why else would the game have ninjas (besides that the games were made by a Japanese company)?

Big Ben

• Breath Weapon: He'll sometimes start breathing fire and bolt across the screen trying to run you over.
• Evil Laugh: 'HUHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!'
• Expy: A charging fat man? Check. He wears suspenders? Check. That definitely sounds like G. Oriber, Bill Bull and Wong Who. Also it looks like Big Ben's face resembles a humanMajin Buu.
• Fastball Special: He throws the Garcia enemies at you in Streets of Rage 3, while they drop in with an elbow attack mid air.
• Fat Bastard: Big Ben's sinister laugh after he hits the player, suggests he enjoys causing pain.

Zamza

• Expy: He is basically a non-green skin version of Blanka. He even has the same barrel attack.
• Wolverine Claws: Similar to Souther, his gauntlets have three blades on them.

R.Bear

• Bald of Evil: R. Bear's head is entirely shaved.
• Everything's Worse with Bears: Not literally. But as his name implies, he definitely lives up to it.

Particle and Molecule

He also has a flaming uppercut named Grand Upper (which was renamed to Bare Knuckle for SoR3). It was toned down considerably in SoR3 due to its excessive power in SoR2.
