Mode 7 posted:Played through on Normal until I Game Over'd on the Stage 2 boss. Really, really loving gorgeous game, plays smoothly and the soundtrack so far has been great. Yeah this game definitely uses enemies with super armor to make you actually play somewhat defensively, which is fine. The muay thai guys are significantly less frustrating than their SoR2 variants. Galsias with spears i'm not so sure about, but i'll manage. Also the soundtrack has some real bangers.

PC Game Pass version installing from the windows store for me, even though it's not showing in the Game Pass launcher yet. Edit: No, it is on the app, just not in the New Releases section yet.

I was playing this online co-op with my brother earlier and it was fine, but then after I dropped into a co-op with some random and everything was a complete slideshow i don't know if it was the net or legit system slowdown but everything moved in chunks every couple of seconds it was barely playable and super frustrating (playing on the lite)

the trick to landing from throws in SoR2 still works here; hold up+jump any time you're knocked in the air to land on your feet instead

I got turned into a Sega fanboy after that and still own every Sega console to this day other then the Game Gear which my dad randomly gave away to a family down the street while I was at school because their children weren't well off and he felt sorry for them. I still have bitterness haha. General Chaos was great, probably a quarter of all of my childhood arguments were about whether it was better to pick the two directly-controllable soldiers or the 5 RTS-style soldier group. (Hint: it was the 2 soldiers)

I just got through the game on Normal as Blaze and started hitting B/A rank near the end, so there's lots of room to grow. Now getting into Hard. The combat feels great and surprisingly complex, I'm sure people will be showing of 400+ damage air combos on each character within the next couple days. I was skeptical at first but Streets of Rage is back, baby!

It's available in the EU Nintendo eshop, I even managed to find one online session which was super laggy and had the weird effect of both players losing a life every time we went through a screen transition. Then the other player paused and the game froze.

Bouncing around all over the place as Cherry = extremely fun.Deacon91 posted:Man everything you said you nailed 100%, thinking back to those times with mates sitting in bean bags and laying on the floor. One of the guys from school had a game guide magazine which he took from his older brother who was away for the weekend so we only had access to it for a short time. We used an electric typewriter and typed the guide out word for word so we could put the magazine back unnoticed so we didn't get beaten up haha. Toe jam & Earl was our back up game. Good times, bloody good times. lmao this also owns, what a pro move

Game feels super smooth and snappy, but I have to be missing something as Blaze and especially Axel -- they feel like they're not even playing the same game as Floyd and Cherry, whose tools are absolutely NUTS. It's like the enemies were all calibrated for the dashes and ranged grabs of the latter two so the former are stuck playing in a game that's a lot faster and meaner than them.

Only played a little so far but the game feels great, the only things that are missing are Practice Mode and/or a complete move list, because I noticed that a lot of characters have hidden moves.

AdmiralViscen posted:G-LOC also don’t forget I picked this up also. I think this is the first time the arcade version of G-LOC Air Battle has been re-released in some form. The Sega Genesis version was ported by Probe, a few years before they did the Genesis ports of Mortal Kombat 1 and 2. Only two more Sega Ages games on the current Switch iteration left from what was announced: Thunder Force AC and Herzog Zwei. Unless Sega announces some more games in the near future, I think it'll end at 19 games, which is a shame. I assume the market for classic Sega games that aren't just Sega Genesis collections is just like three people including me. As for Streets of Rage 4, it rules. I love how using the special attack button thing drains your health but you can get it back by attacking and not getting hit for a bit. I rarely used them in SOR2 but I'm using them more frequently here. Also it took me a while to learn that standard attack doesn't pick up items, and that picking up items is a separate keybind. That was messing me up for a while there. Adam's back, bay-bay

Two levels in (only C-ranked on normal though, drat my 25+ year muscle memory that I need to unlearn). Thoroughly enjoying it, and it seems like there's lots to learn here about timing and counters so it should keep me going for ages. But to be honest it had me on board at: I thought my single-button Star Move define wasn't working but you need to specifically enable whatever alternate mapping you give it, which seemed a bit odd.

Had a good time on my first play through with Blaze. Messed around with all the other main characters and they each feel fun. Looking forward to trying out the harder difficulties and am curious to see what changes in them.

Ms Adequate posted:yo what the gently caress (Level 5 boss) Barbon has been working out and got some training huh Had a hard time with that boss on my first (normal) run as Axel, but on my second (hard) run using Adam I was able to cheese most of that fight by just throwing him into the left side wall and juggle him with combos which coincidentally is also how I was able to cheese the level 3 boss. Though in the level 3 boss fight, the lower left side wall has a bed of nails or something hanging there, and you can juggle her into that thing for ridiculous amounts of damage. Jack Trades posted:You can turn on Legacy Mode in the settings. Now I'm wondering if that'll mess me up more now that I've gotten used to the new method. I'll find out soon enough!

I almost finished the game on normal with Cherry without getting a game over but I was one hit from beating the final boss and I died  I then was so demoralized I couldn't get past the first screen of the final level so I had to use assists. Oh well.The game feels snappier than old Streets of Rage but I was playing as Cherry. Everyone else is just so slow in comparison. The one thing I don't like is how muted all of the sound and music is. It's super quiet and not loud and brash like it should be. Its like Halo Reach PC levels of muffled.

the new juggles and wallbounces are super meaty, I love it. Axel/Blaze/Cherry all feel like they have certain rhythms but Floyd has a lot of bad matchups/fights imo. He seems like he'd be a good 2-player choice.

I feel like I have to get reeeeal close to grab. Like closer than I used to back with SoR 1. Not that I specifically remember the "grab range" of a game 25 years ago but I remember grabbing all the time back then and I don't think it was this difficult

fadam posted:Played two levels of this with the GF during lunch and had a blast. I love how there’s no ironic “lol aren’t the nineties wild” bits to it. Walk into the enemy*, then you have some options Attack - usually does an attack that throws the enemy forward Back + Attack - usually does a throw that places them behind you Forward + Attack x3 - a 3 hit combo Jump - switches sides with the enemy to get their back, and allows a backthrow, most damaging Jump x2 - vaults off the enemy to give you a flying attack The grapplers like Floyd, if you press jump, will jump with the enemy. Press attack in mid-air to to do a very damaging attack Because Forward + Attack x3 keeps the enemy held until the third one, you can do stuff like forward + attack x2, then flip over for a backthrow or any of the other options * Floyd's forward+special is a long range grab * Floyd can walk around with an enemy in his hands, and if you walk into a second enemy, you'll bash their heads together * Floyd can do something like forward + attack x2, jump, attack, then in mid-air do his mid-air special, etc. etc.
