The amount of work that would require to change is astronomical, it's not happening
I've been playing a lot of SoRR lately in anticipation for this game and this does seem really slow in comparison. The art style and animations are fantastic though and the juggle system looks fun. Still one of my most anticipated releases of the year.
It even allowed for two players at the same time? You do realize Final Fight is an arcade game from 1989, don't you? And that version had 2 player co-op. Also weird that you're bringing up "better animation" as if that's a sign of the game not taking from Final Fight. By the way Final Fight was inspired by Double Dragon, it's not a crime.
SoR definitely didn't have bigger sprites. Final Fight's sprites for the time were MASSIVE. I didn't own a Genesis growing up, so never played much SoR. You can probably figure out that I'm a big fan of FF though lol.
On topic, this looks like it's shaping up nicely!
Final Fight is ass.
It wishes it was ever as good as Streets of Rage.
I can see why they doing this. Similar approach to The Force Awakens IMO. I have no doubts new content and enemies will be in the final game.
Axel, not Blaze :) He's had some progression.
I think Blaze looks incredible, by the way. Like she actually lifts or something.
Love that Axel upper body progression! He skipped legs day though
I know I've done it myself for my crappy game, but it's so worth it when it's done, gives more variations to the characters too. You can cheat a lot when drawing digitally though, mirror with the software and just change the details that needs to change. If you think about it and work with layers from the start you can cheat even more.
Will be interesting to see why the hell Axel looks homeless.
Blaze seems to be fine compared to him.

Agree. I never used special moves because you always used life. It's nice that it has become more strategic.
This looks better than I thought it would based on the trailer. I'm not sharing the concern of old designs being used. It's simply too early to say. This is likely the first stage, in which the developers intend to reacquaint players with SoR. New enemy types and stages may very well be added as the game progresses.
Hah, the old FF vs SoR arguments, feels like I'm back in 1995. Thing is SoR2 is the one everyone remembers and is everyone's favorite because it was so amazing for the time. Let's face it, this genre was always very repetitive and boring, but SoR2 managed to keep it very diverse and fun due to the amazing moveset. Simple to execute, easy to learn and extremely satisfying when they came off.
Looking good. Art doesn't put me off, and I hope to hell that skate is in it.
And streets of rage shits allover final fight. Being a beatemup doesn't make it a rip-off of final fight either people.

I hope the developers didnt use SoR2 as the base for this game. You cant release a beat'em up without a run command in 2019.
SoR2 is a good game but I cant put it in a pedestal with the greats of the genre. Captain Commando is superior to any SoR game and was released around the same time than SoR1. If you keep the comparisons to console games, sure, the moment you start putting arcade games in the discussion SoR2 is at disadvantage.

I think Double Dragon Neon had some great additions that made beat 'em up combat more interesting, like Gleam and Mixtapes.
So far the only thing I'm seeing from SOR4 that's any different from the norm is recoverable grey life after doing a special attack.
Without dash/running and dodge rolls SOR4 actually looks more basic than SOR3.
He should have worked out with Blaze. She looks like she's been doing squats every day since SoR 3.
Download the fan game Streets of Rage Remake. It's essentially Streets of Rage's version of Sonic Mania.
Like I said in the other thread, visually, I'm impressed, but gameplay wise, it looks backwards from SoR3 and SoR Remake, which is highly disappointing for a supposed sequel.
No Grand Upper in the footage? Curious as to how that will be balanced.
Apart from that ridiculous knock-kneed stance.

They simply took her right leg from SOR2 and her left leg from SOR3.
Looks so uncomfortable
SoR 2 in particular is so far ahead of anything any of the Final Fight games did it's not even funny. The choice of 4 very different characters with a much larger moveset combined with greater enemy and stage variety is why many still regard it as the gold standard for the genre.
Watching the video, it looks like they've really nailed the flow of the gameplay and understand what made SoR2 play so well. I particularly like the nod to Ayano Koshiro's opening stage concept of the car crashing into the wall that never made the final cut.
This gives me confidence that they really respect the source material , I'm genuinely enthused after watching this.
A few things of note.
1. The limited use super attack in the vein of the first game is interesting, it looks like a small area crowd control move as opposed to a smart bomb style attack. You see the star icons under the health bar that indicate how many the player has. Seems the game has this while retaining the special move system from SoR2.
2. Limited regenerating health means you're not relying solely on pickups, and it looks like they don't place one for each player now so this may come in handy.
3. The juggling is interesting and looks like it adds a new dimension to coop gameplay. I particularly liked it when the Blaze player sent the enemy flying and the Axel character smashed them into the ground with the pole, bouncing them up.
Hopefully when you grapple an enemy, forward-attack hits the enemy, and neutral-attack/back-attack throws them
In Final Fight it's the opposite and it drives me nuts

If it's like SoR2. Forward attack does a combo, neutral does a single higher damage attack, back throws them and jump vaults over them. Just pressing back will let go.
Still don't care for the art style or chunky Axel, but it still looks pretty good. I hope the OST is great, at least.
Hah I can see that.Axel - 2 Hours before the events of Streets of Rage 4
Double Dragon Neon was so good I am sad we might not get a rerelease.
Soundtrack was amazing:
Nice to see them incorporate the classic sound effects, makes a huge difference
Not a fan of Axel's redesign at all but the game looks good in motion

The sequels certainly but the original (arcade) version of Final Fight is better than the original SOR.
And regardless, Final Fight's influence on the beat-em-up genre is nearly as profound as SFII's influence on the fighting genre.
It most assuredly seems shallow when compared to what came after (even Capcom's own efforts eclipsed it) but for the time FF was the shit.

So are we getting any more of the SoR characters or is it just the two this time ?
I thought they might have shown off more by now, if they were in the game.

Blaze and Chun-Li have the same gym routine? Legs just keep getting bigger in each gameAxel, not Blaze :) He's had some progression.
