Question for the Survival mode, what is a realistic "level" to shoot for? I am playing with a 4 year old and when doing COOP only 1 of us gets a powerup after a level so i try to let him get all the punch moves and +defense and stuff and only take upgrades myself when theres no good option. We're getting capped out at around level 17 but I see the leaderboard has people getting to the 90s? 100s?

I can get to like level 28ish, but I'm not a four year old so 17 seems pretty good

We're getting capped out at around level 17 but I see the leaderboard has people getting to the 90s? 100s? If you go by the trophies, the main milestone is 18 and then the tough challenge is 30. My advice for this or any other game is to never compare yourself to the leaderboards.

After level 32 damage scaling for enemies gets absolutely stupid (like, red fat guys breathing fire will instantly kill you from full health even if you have max defence powerups). Level 90-100 is basically completely bullshit streamer bait and takes upwards of 6 hours due to how later levels have more and more waves.

Ok I will reconsider what success is with that in mind. I kinda wish theyd let the scaling slow until level 50 or something as the mode itself is really fun but theres just something about constantly losing on level 17 that felt off lol I ended up playing solo today as Cherry and got up to level 33 abusing her blitz attack with some very key blitz upgrades so i feel satisfied.

And they make for a nice decoy since any enemies that are attacking the buddy aren't attacking you. Generally agree, but conversely they can majorly gently caress up combos by hitting enemies you're engaging, trigger attacks from Judo guys etc. that either directly smash you or smash your buddy into you as they go flying through the air, or deny you i-frames when you're attempting to do something like use a throw on one enemy to avoid another enemy's attack by messing up your grab. I find that the more technique/combo-focussed the character you're using is, the more likely it is that a buddy will gently caress things up for you. They're generally a net positive, but they can introduce a lot more chaos.

We upgraded a buddy to tier 4 and got a Ms whatever and she instantly lunged off the edge of the level. Later levels have so many hazards it didn't seem worth it.

Having a decent buddy (bot I mean, not a real one  ) was key to me breaking my level record but I can see how it could end up being a problem later on, especially since by the time it gets good that's at least a few power-ups you could have applied to yourself.

What is the definitive way to play SOR2 these days, specifically on a steam deck? My understanding is the steam Sega Genesis app has bad lag (either audio or input, I don’t recall which)? Just emulation? Or is there some other option (SORR or similar)?

If you can get SORR to work on the Deck, it's probably the best SoR game behind SoR4. Otherwise emulation. I've played the Steam version of SoR2 and was good enough? I don't know if it has lag or other issues on the Steam Deck.

I'll probably do the steam version then because I just looked and I didnt realize I already owned, it and if the lag isnt bad, then seems fine to me

so I haven't played since it came out I just bought the DLC and played some but are the DLC mostly procedurally generated? Even the weekly ones go through the same levels albeit "new" for the DLC right also how tf do you dodge the dropping walls trap in the Aztec level (the one with the pool in the bg and banners, not the wall with the murals)

If it's the one that crosses the whole screen, I think your best hope is to do an aerial special after it lands on a spot. Though on the topic of DLC stuff, I decided to buy again on Steam, and it feels different on Mania+. Were the extra arcade cabinets for minibosses always there, and I just haven't played it in so long? I can't remember them being there in the GOG release

Yeah it even goes so far as to have a 'Classic' mode which retains the bugs & occasional hit-detection bullshit along with slowdown/input eating (the last two only being noticeable if you're a speedrunner/a speedrunner points it out to you). The Anniversary mode with 4P online is just pure

Tried SOR2 New Era on the Steam Deck last night and its really good. It took a minute to configure the deck controls to be a controller and not a keyboard, but other than that it runs and plays fantastic!

So I didn’t even know New Era was a thing until this thread, and now I want it - also for my Steam Deck. Any tips on the installation? Is it easy to get up and running on Deck and did you follow any instructions?

Its literally just downloading and extracting the ZIP file, running the executable (or adding it to Steam as a custom game, for simplicities sake), and pointing the executable towards an SOR2 ROM

Superb - sounds very similar to the Thief TFix mod which I’ve installed recently too.

I've only really played with my brother on and off, and solo. I'd be down to play with someone, I have it on PC and switch, maybe ps4 as well not sure. I kinda don't feel like playing until I can get the new Xbox controller with that 8 way d pad. (Shortly after May/June?) My old elite 2 controller I had to keep warranty returning, but drat if it wasn't nice for a game like SOR or Tekken. If anyone knows of a similar pad or if I should just get an arcade stick or something let me know, but I don't like using analog sticks for games like this.

I just use a ps4 controller d-pad. I’m not an expert but I’ve S ranked a bunch of mania+ so I don’t think it’s stifling my gameplay.
