Shiva is a recurring boss from the Streets of Rage series, appearing as a boss in all games from Streets of Rage 2 onwards. He acts as Mr. X's right hand man in the Syndicate Crime Organization.

Story

Streets of Rage 2

Shiva acts as the penultimate boss in the game, where he must be beaten before the player is allowed to take down Mr. X.

Streets of Rage 3

Shiva reappeared in Streets Of Rage 3 as the first boss. He is also a secret playable character who can be unlocked immediately after his defeat by holding down the B button. Since he is an evil character, his existence as a playable character is not considered canon, as it's impossible for Axel and Blaze to work with him.

If the player fails to save the General in Stage 6, then they will enter what is supposedly the White House. There, Axel and company will confront him in front of the press and on national TV. Once the player beats him, the cutscene will have him lying down and saying, "Mr. X will finish you."

Then it cuts to Mr. X watching it on a monitor of his own and crushing a wine glass in his hand. Thus, the player receives the bad ending.

Attacks

  • Final Crash: Shiva's trademark move, he turns backwards to his enemy in a glimpse of second, followed by a very fast down-headed turn, then projects himself upwards with one leg extended and foot in flames (similarly to the flames in Axel's fist during his Grand Upper move), hitting the target in an uppercut-like motion. In SOR3/BK3, a white shine was added as an special effect to emphasize Shiva's attack power.
  • Flaming Circular Kick: Shiva turns and rapidly pulls off a roundhouse-esque kick in an above-head circular motion, with the attacking foot engulfed in flames due to the extreme speed of the kick. Used as Shiva's primary defensive attack.
  • Handspring Palm Strike: Only used in the third installment, Shiva handsprings off the ground and enters his downward palm attack, clearing almost the entire screen.
  • Rising Kick: Shiva is capable of an incredibly quick jumpkick attack as soon as he flips up off the ground from being knocked down. Used when the player stays too close to a downed Shiva.
