Sega’s cult classic beat ’em up series Streets of Rage is officially 30 years old today, as the first game in the series launched on the Mega Drive on August 2, 1991 in Japan. Arriving at a time where games such as Final Fight and Golden Axe had been best-sellers on home consoles and in arcades, Streets of Rage would spawn numerous sequels, merchandise, and an ongoing debate as to just what it is that one of its protagonists would shout during his Blitz move attack.
That debate has finally been settled by Yuzo Koshiro, the composer of the first game and the voice of Axel in the original trilogy.
“I see many people on the net writing Grand Upper,” Koshiro tweeted. “That’s incorrect. Ground Upper is correct, you know what I mean? Usually, the back of Axel’s hand touches the ground when he hits an uppercut, therefore I named it Ground Upper.”Come from Sports betting site VPbet
