*********************** Introduction ***********************



7 years after the battle, Mr. X returned and attacked 

the three heroes. Adam and Axel were kidnapped, but 

Blaze escaped. To save her comrades, she seeked help 

from three international heroes: Bruce, Arnold(Arnie), 

and Kelly. Together they will fight against Mr. X.



In the game, Bruce and Arnie are extremely powerful. 

Therefore, this hack is not for the gamers that are 

looking for challenges, but for gamers that want to 

kick some ass.



You must apply this ips patch to "Streets of Rage 2 (USA)"

It is recommended that you use Lunar IPS.

*********************** Thug Naming ************************



As many gamers have noticed, the game has some misspelling 

in the thug names. The author tried his best to correct 

the mistakes and make the names consistant.



The following rules has been discovered:



Basic thugs (Garcia, Donovan, and their clones)

    These thugs have names with European origin.

    Therefore the following changes have been made:

    Galsia (misspelling) ?! Garcia

    Joseph (Hebrew) ?! Justin

    Jonathan (Hebrew) ?! Jeffrey

    B.T. (Not sure what this is) ?! Bartek

    Z (Is this even a name?) ?! Zigor

    The bonus thugs have also been renamed:

    Talk ?! The Last (This is indeed the last thug.)

    U-3 ?! Unwin

    Mc.K ?! Mack

    Altet ?! Artie



Signal gang:

    Every memeber of this gang has some name like 

    X.Signal, where X is the first letter of the 

    thug's color.

    However, the following changes have been made to

    the bonus thugs:

    Mavin ?! M.Signal

    Axi ?! A.Signal



Bike gang:

    These thugs have names that are related to weather.

    The following changes have been made:

    Blade ?! Rain

    Wanter ?! Snow



Fire-breathing giants seem to have names that usually mean

something big. Even Heart is the name of a big fat villain

in "Fist of the Northern Star".



Karate/Kung-fu gang (Clones of Hakuyo):

    These thugs' names are not pronunciable in English.

    However, they do have meanings in Japanese.

    Ko-Shu, Suicho, Hakuro, Ko-kaku, Ho-oh

        These names are the bird names of Nanto School 

        from the cartoon "Fist of the Northern Star".

    Kongoh, Rakan, AShurah

        These are the names of fictional characters

        from Indian myths.

    Seiryu, Byatcko(Byakko), Suzaku, Genbu

        These are the mythical animals from Chinese

        myths.

    Now that Byakko is misspelled, Genbu is missing, 

    and Ryokurou (green boy?) does not seem to fall into

    any of the above categories, the following changes

    have been made:

    Byatcko ?! Byakko

    Ryokurou ?! Genbu



Muay-Thai thugs have birdnames. One misspelling has been

fixed:

    Galuda ?! Garuda



Ninjas have names that come from Ancient Japan.

    The following change has been made:

    Jay ?! Hayate



Robots have names that are chemical elements.



Rocket gang members have names of flying objects (aircrafts,

insects, etc). The following changes have been made:

    Griphis (unknown meaning) ?! Rocket

    Mosquite (misspelling) ?! Mosquito

    Blitz (not exactly an flying object) ?! Wasp

    Tomcat (nick name of F-14) ?! Hornet (nick name of F-18)



Some other changes:

    Vulture (bird name) ?! Vladimir (European name)

    Metal.M ?! Ms.Metal (This suits the lady better.)

    Nail ?! Bai Mei (literally white eyebrows)

    (He deserves this name after his palette is changed.)

    Shiva ?! Shi-Hua (Shiva in Chinese)





********************** Known Glitchs ***********************



In the two-player mode, if P1 chooses Arnie and performes a

super uppercut (offensive special), both players' pictures 

will be screwed up for a couple of frames, and then return 

normal. 



Again in the two-player mode, if P2 chooses Arnie and 

performes a super uppercut, the pictures of all the knives 

in the scene will be screwed up, and will not return 

normal.



The hacked rom is tested under Gens and Kega Fusion. 

No other glitch is found.
