Hmm Okay. I just feel like I am moving way too slowly to get out of his range. So basically dodge until he does his attack and punish him afterwards.
Shit gets real on Stage 4 huh? Massive difficulty spike. The boss in Stage 2 was hard but level 3 was super manageable. Now Stage 4 is kicking my ass again lol.
The game is fantastic. I'm so happy.

It's great but I don't like how it controls/moves because it doesn't do what I want and I'm bad lol
I want to able to dash up and down 😭

Commissioner best my ass so bad I went back to normal difficulty
Tried this in hardest and got my ass handed to me. Went down to Hard and breezed the first stage, probably because I actually used the specials. Wondering if I should restart in the hardest again...
Preach! Transport me to my Megadrive years.
Thanks for the info! I'm not sure of the comic's year, but based on the background story in your link, it sounds like the comic character may be a ref to Murphy in Robocop anyway. =-)
Sat down to give this a try and two hours flew by like nothing. They really managed to make a new SoR that stands up to the classics. The boss fights have all been fantastic so far and I love the way the specials work. Definitely gonna be playing a lot of this.
Only minor complaint is that I don't think the soundtrack is anywhere near as good as SoR1 or 2. It's good, and a couple tracks are excellent, but overall it doesn't have the punch I expected. Maybe I'll warm up to it over time though.

I don't have much of a history with streets of rage, but my friend and I are always on the hunt for a good co-op game. Does this fit the bill?(Does it incentivize replayability at all?)
I can join games perfectly well, my friend can't join anyone... we've made sure windows is updated, all the relevant apps for Xbox app on PC are updated.
We can join each other on Sea of Thieves. Something seems to be blocking him specifically from joining any SoR4 game...
Anyone have any ideas?

Man, yes so much this.
When "stage 01 complete" came up using the same font and graphics the tune instantly started playing in my head and what I heard instead was the biggest cockblocker.
I can't believe they did this.
Wow, the retro soundtrack selection was definitely picked by hardcore fans. Stage 3's retro track is the damn Game Gear rendition of The Last Soul.
Talk about deep cuts.
Agreed about the Stage Clear theme, though.

I finished the game a couple times now and unlocked up to all the SoR2 characters. Max feeling like garbage tier in this game :(, Floyd is just a straight up better Max in every single way, and also probably one of the best characters in general. It sucks everyone doesn't have a dash or run.
The default soundtrack isn't doing anything for me, but the gameplay is great so far. Looking forward to using the retro soundtrack option.
Reading old reviews of home ports of arcade games circa 2000 is maddening.
Hot take: after playing stage 1, I'm not really digging it. Graphics are cool, plays well, music is meh...but I feel SoR3 was better.
You're entitled to an opinion, as much as anyone else is in this world. :3
It's worth noting that only a handful (I can only remember two?) of bosses have moves with actual invincibility. They have *armor*. They still take damage from the attacks, attacks just don't stun them during the duration of armor.
They keep the enemy in a standing position, so you can follow up with a longer combo.
Believe me, I'm very much hoping to have my first feeling changed.
Actually, in Arcade mode you get one credit and you have to finish the story in one go without saving.
So thats not at all what people want I assume. I want to earn lives while playing, and continue if neccesary.
on hard its almost undoable with no rolls. Getting stuck in an animation like a grab leaves you open to other enemies attacking you at all times. Enemies have grabs that you cannot counter except by using your special move.
No multiple paths sucks
I dunno, Im.not too hot on it.
i wonder if the people who love it have played Streets of Rage Remake
because after a few hours with this, that will remain the definitive "Sonic Mania" Streets of Rage
Use them for a deep jump in and combo or grab when you hit the ground. The stun will leave most enemies open for follow-ups. Don't forget to tap attack a few times with the dpad in neutral to slap enemies around before holding toward or back to throw them at their friends.
Just finished it. Mixed feelings about it.
Overall I liked it because I have been starving for a propel sequel for 26 years, but I would have made it differently.
Someday perhaps Ill go back to my unreal engine 4 project lol.
Soundtrack was very hit or miss. Forgetable overall.
Slower, way slower than BK3/SOR3
Reused bosses. Too many for my liking.
Invincibility frames GALORE. They went overboard with it.
The addition of new mechanics (weapon throwing and catching middair, juggling, new combo system) does not, (for me at least) compensate the removal of running, rolling and upgraded blitz attacks.
Advanced Donovans (Z) can fuck right off

Grabs are both telegraphed (Red Flash) and with two exceptions, can be jumped. Those two exceptions can be avoided by walking up/down and moving off plane.
There are counters to pretty much everything, you just don't realize them yet.
Edit: Remembered a second exception, but it's pretty much identical.

I've been playing solo and it's been great. I've completed hard and I can only think of a couple moments that felt cheap, but probably just inexperience. The difficulty feels pretty good though I feel some characters are a lot better than others.
I can only speak for myself, but as someone who never grew up with the original Genesis games (and only recently completed the trilogy on the Genesis Mini), I'm enamored with SOR4. It's one of the best side scrolling brawlers I've played in recent times.
Remake is a fantastic mix and match of the first 3 games, with its only wanting aspect being that the AI is a bit on the simple side. The new combinations of old enemies make up for that adequately though.
It's not a sequel, though. SOR4 is its own thing while still running on the same fundamentals and I really like what I'm seeing here.
The retro selection is absolute garbage. How does that song meet up with Stage 3 at all? I dont see it. Im sure thats not something that fans even listen to or know it exists. Ive played all SoR games on megadrive and never heard this gamegear abomination thankfully.
On hard if you are fighting 3/4 dudes in the prison at the same time and cops try to grab you you dont have any time to react if they are close to yoy. Maybe im just old I dont know haha
Anyone else find that Barbon is the hardest boss?
All the others including Ms Y + Mr Y are pretty easy but this sod has the most annoying adds (biker ladies) and he doesn't telegraph his openings as blatantly as the other bosses.

Curious what programs do you have for anti-virus etc...? I wonder if you share any common programs that could be causing issues...
