Actually Yamato did, in the Japanese SOR3 say "Ninpo!". In SOR3 English he says "Magic!"

I noticed a good few King Of Fighters references going in this.

The Remake Hit effects are from the KOF series. There's one from KOF 96 to 98, one from 99 and another from KOF 2000 to 2003

Furthermore, Shiva's profile pic is an edit of Iori Yagami's character select sprite from KOF 2000. Have a look at said sprite and compare it to the profile pic:

(Iori sprite taken from Fighters Generation and Shiva image taken from the old SORR development blog)

Adam's two star Running Special is pretty much Balrog's Final Punch attack from Street Fighter, and Mr X's two star Running attack looks a lot like Haohmaru's Kogetsu Zan from Samurai Shodown.

And of course you got ones people may have pointed out before, such as the enemies Souther and Heart having the same names as two villains from Fist of the North Star

And from what I saw, Shiva and Mr X are the only ones in Versus mode who's "lose" portrait have them looking thouroughly beaten up. Everyone else just as their "angry" or "disappointed" portrait instead. Except for Ash who's obviously crying.

With all these references, one can say that SoRR is akin to Scott Pilgrim :lol:

Played the "inner woods" stage for the first time, and that waterfall stage background came from Kolibri (32X)! :shock:

Now that's a WTF reference.

I was wondering if anyone would notice this.

Another one:

Spoiler: show
Rudra's grapple attack looks a lot like Ibuki's expanding energy sphere super from Street Fighter 3

BTW, The waterfalls inside the cave are pretty much based in China Team stage of KOF 95. :)

Is Zan's knife blitz based on Charlotte's (Samurai Shodown) strong slash?

Funny how some knife moves of SORR are based on sword moves from other games... :D

Not an easter egg, but was something that made this game a little better.

If you time a police car call perfectly (and I mean so perfectly it's near impossible to do), the car can run over and I assume kill enmies. Found this out after going "FFS 2 Jets!??!" during a proper non cheat Mania run with a CPU and used a police call early on before a loss of life. It hit and took out a 3rd jet on it's way to the battle before the gunner jumped out! Talk about luck. I laughed a wee bit, loved the added realism.

I just noticed yesterday that the sky when you're fighting Jet atop the "mesh" bridge is sometimes sunset, sometimes night. Does this depend on the route to get there?

Are there other changes like this?

Yes, if you reach SOR2 Stage 2-3 by truck, it will be nighttime. If you reach SOR2 Stage 2-3 by bike, it will be sunset. There isn't really any difference between the stages besides the time of the day though.

But on the other hand there are differences between SOR2 Stage 5-3 depending on how you reach the stage. If you get to the boat by defeating Abadede then when you reach the top of the boat you can see the skyline of the city in the background. If you reach the boat by jetskis then won't see the skyline of the city anymore and you will be in the open ocean (obviously :P and some of the enemy waves are different and R. Bear's entrance is different as well.
What if the world had no Streets of Rage?

I think after the waterfall area alt path from the beach, just before you enter the underground lab, the background with cave-like-rocks/waterfall in background is taken from Shinobi 3: Return Of The Ninja Master.
