Deathless Run on Mania with our boy, Floyd:
• Streets of Rage 4 - No...
One of the best beat 'em ups I've played!
Still, not as skillful as I wish, but I only got the game yesterday, and this was only my second boss rush clear. Still, an S rank is an S rank!
I like that the game emphasises on combos and juggling enemies. This is the first game in the franchise that does that, as far as I know.
Bosses are great, each with it's own gimmick and personality. And they are not easy.
Star moves are a new thing. They are very powerful and can get you out of sticky situations.That's why you only have s handful per level. If you don't use them they contribute to your level score and rank, besides I wanted to see how would I handle myself without them.
The only little gripe I have with this game is that the music is nowhere near on par with Yuzo Koshiro's tracks from the other games. Oh, well.
Enjoy!

@@asukask9851 I know you are responding to the post above, but I do think their is a quality of life component to just being able to traverse the screen and get to the next enemy quicker. I have zero issue with the present difficulty of the game (or pushing it a bit higher), but it just doesn't make much sense that perfectly healthy individuals like Axel or Blaze need to traverse the screen like they are taking a leisurely stroll through marmalade. I'm for Floyd + Max (bulky bruisers) and all the SOR1 characters not having a dash (more retro feels), but for everyone else give them a dash at the bare minimum. There is enough good old fashioned retro vibes sprinkled through out the game that you don't need to enforce no dash on the modern versions of the characters.

Pro tip, against the DJ, even when he is getting back up and reforming his shield, you can still attack him during that animation and deal regular damage before the shield comes online. Makes that fight a bit faster. Also thrown grenades can be picked up and tossed back which, in this map where it's pretty large, isn't as helpful but can net some free damage if you can lead/shepherd Comish and Estel into them. Great Boss run!

If you time it right, you can basically use Axel like a fighting game character. You can cancel the frame right after the last kick in his basic combo into Rise Upper which you can cancel into his forward special. Hits for like a 15 or 16 hit combo. Super deadly if you have a target alone. I might see if I can't add the jabs into grab into jump kick thing you do to start a lot of your combos.

@edgarector 4 жыл бұрын

Axel is, definitely, the weakest of all characters. He is the second slowest (after Floyd), he has a very low reach, his damage is pretty low too, and his star move is the worst, imo. That being said, I really like this character. His combos are great, and you, truly, need to be a master of the game to be able to play well with him. I am planning to get to know him better and do some Mania runs with him. I play very plainly here, because that was only the second day I purchased the game, and only my second boss rush clear. But, anyway, check out my speedrun with Floyd to see how broken he can be! :)
