Better combo potential and it feels better to lose a bit of health intentionally kicking rear end then letting yourself get overwhelmed and losing health unintentionally.

I'm up to Adam on my quest to get everyone's alts. Floyd's alt Blitz and judicial upgrades carried me to lvl 33 garnering his full suite of moves. I'm still not crazy about Floyd, but his alts are fun.

Cherry was a bit tough since she's so particularly in how she plays but I really do love playing her. I'm not good at it, but she's so different from everyone else.

I'm seeing just how useful Vampiric punches are. Combining it with Glass Cannon is very fun even if it's not the best idea strictly speaking. It works better with Full Health bonus damage or inversely the -50% +damage.

I can't believe how they breathed so much vitality into this game with just one DLC and with one that's procedurally generated. That's usually a horrible plan but it's perfect here.

Personally I like the watching the Victoria's dodge backwards off a stage. There's something so dopey about it.

iirc one of the Y twins can do it too (in miniboss form). Also it's really easy to bait those yellow dickheads with their hands in their pockets to do the horizontally-moving multiple jump kick. :allears:

I'm looking forward to video call later so I can break this out and hopefully unlock Max's alt moves. I've just him and Shiva next. Then I got to pick my favorites and see what I can do with them in story mode!

If there's a pairing more effective than Shiva with Blood Thirst/combo damage and SOR 3 Skate with electric rolling blitz I've yet to see it. My girlfriend gets the combo meter up and I run around touch-of-death-ing everyone. Once the meter is up around 300 hits enemies start dying to individual jabs.

It's also a good pairing just in terms of who gets elements for their blitz and who gets it for their heavy attack. And considering Shiva can easily get at least 2 heavy attacks per simple combo (more if you gently caress with wall bounces) he's super effective.

Does anyone know specifically what Max's iron will star power actually does? From what I can see it gives you armour and makes all damage green damage for its duration, but are there any other effects?

That's pretty much it as far as I've been able to tell. It's pretty nifty for certain single player sections since you can just jump into the middle of a crowd and go ham with his extremely damaging combos without the risk of being jabbed out of it or being knocked down by those pesky slides, uppercuts or jump kicks. It's not particularly good for higher levels of survival mode since enemies simply do too much damage to facetank with Iron Will.

So is SOR 4 getting anymore updates? Or is this it? I feel like this is a really good game where a few more DLC (retro levels, more characters, more stages, etc) would sell really well.

As starved as this genre is for big releases I'll always treasure SoR4 being, if not actually a AAA title, then matching the production value of the marquee beat em ups of yester-year.

At this point I'd want maybe a fantasy game next? After turtles of course.

This is what a few of the devs said back in '20


quote:

MP1st: Are you planning on doing more sequels/remakes? Golden Axe is a franchise that some have thrown around when it comes to reviving beat-‘-em-ups. Has the studio thought of that or any existing IP?!!

Ben: Sequels and/or remake are actually great to work with. You can learn so much just by trying to replicate and enhance an older game. Of course, we always think of cool IPs to go on, but they have to matter to us personally before we really consider it.

Golden Axe is an amazing license. So are Landstalker and Shining Force, which I’d love to tackle. But at some point, maybe an original IP would be great too.

Jordi: Though I would love to work on any old school franchise, we have nothing planned at the moment. If we can, we hope to find more ways to support Streets of Rage 4.

Cyrille Imbert: Yes, we are currently working on Windjammers 2 and three unannounced projects similar to SoR4 and WJ2 (with different teams). So stay tuned!

This. Olivier Deriviere went into this project with an impossible fuckin' task---matching the insane precedent that Yuzo Koshiro had set---and he rose to the occasion beautifully. Funky HQ, On Fire, and Rising Up are certified classics in this game.

An Expedition is great. I also slept on Chow Time for too long. The last beat drop is great because you can hear the rear end in a top hat Goros at that exact moment.

Let’s be honest though, what can ever match Crazy Train? :cool:

There's a new Streets of Rage 4 patch that's in beta right now. Infuriatingly there seems to be no place to find all the changes in one place, but it's mostly focused on Survival Mode and the new characters added in Mr X Nightmare. Basically a lot of Survival Mode boons got tweaked/reworked to be more useful. Glass Cannon is down to 60% more damage taken so it's no longer an autolose button (still probably pretty bad though), more food added to later stages so that Bloodthirst isn't 100% necessary, and buffs to some of the weaker effects like Ally and Full of Yourself. Big nerfs to Shiva's Flying Kick and Max's vortex abuse, nerfs to multi-hit blitz attacks across the board, mega-buffs for my queen Estel. Excited for when it finally goes live!

Kind of hoping that the balance patch will nerf Estel's flying kick thing. It was just too good and playing her just devolves into spamming it over and over.
They were good at removing that kind of stuff in previous patches.

Flying Scythe is good but it's not even close to the most broken blitz attack out there, it's high recovery on landing and you''ll get uppercut out of the sky or fall right into a pit for just spamming it. SOR3 Skate is totally busted and he's been in the game since Day 1.
