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.

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.

You can turn on Legacy Mode in the settings.

I seem to be able to parry/block attacks occasionally but I can't figure out how, anyone has an idea? It seems to be either forward or attack when the attack lands but I can't figure it out.

The game needs a training mode, badly.

I wish I was good at Cheat Engine.
I really want to set both player's health (and time? is there a timer?) to infinite in Battle mode, so I can practice my combos in peace.

people online are really mad about the lack of dashing and/or dodge rolling

like, to a degree I can't even wrap my head around

Sounds familiar to me.

Maybe they'll fix it by popular demand in the next Streets of Rage game which will be called SoR: Streets of Rage and they'll add not one but TWO separate dodge buttons just so that people never have to learn to jump up to evade.

Steam has a free to use server infrastructure, GOG doesn't. Creating online for the GOG version would require them to host their own servers, at the very least the matchmaking server.

Blaze's voice clips for when she's using her specials weird me out because it's not the same voice actor as the lines she says in the character selection screen. I'm assuming those are straight up voice clips from older games?

Her blitz attack specifically doesn't sound like it's being said by her.

I'm jonesing so badly for a new Jet Set Radio you have no idea. Gimme that sweet grinding action and Hideki Naganuma music! At least somebody's working on a possibly neat spiritual successor, though, here. Hopefully it turns out good!

Extremely :same:
Although Hover was pretty good and Hideki Naganuma even wrote music for it.

I don't know anything about Streets of Rage franchise because SoR4 is my first game in it but I noticed a distinct lack of SPDs and that should be fixed with a DLC IMO.

The game autosaves in multiplayer but only the host gets a save file so they should host again when you want to continue.

SoR4 feels like a great evolution of the genre, I hope other developers pick up on it too.

Fight'N'Rage is good and it was definitely a step in the right direction but SoR4 does all the same things way better.

I'm just curious what the inputs will be for these moves, given SOR hasn't gone in for 'select your super' sort of thing.

Pretzel Motion.

It's probably just a Down Down motion.

I thought River City Girls was extremely underwhelming. I got to the second boss and either that game has no combos or the moves required to do anything interesting unlock so loving slowly that I didn't get poo poo by then.

FightNRage did some great steps at bringing 2D beatemups into the modern age and then SoR4 packaged all of that really well into an instant classic. It's the kind of game the whole genre will be compared to from now on.

Is that TMNT game gonna be same art style as SoR4 or is it gonna be pixelart? The trailer didn't really make that clear.
If it's pixelart then that's kinda lame.

The biggest question is left unanswered.

Do any of the new characters have a run/dash?

Training mode, colors for all the characters and new moves for all the characters too.

I wish the game wouldn't matchmake me with people that have 300ms ping to me, it's unplayable and forces me to kick them out.
