Is Cherry the only character who can run? Barring the retro characters, I only have Axel-SOR1 and Adam-SOR1 so far.

It also crashes to desktop randomly. Once during an end stage boss. I'm going to play something else until it's patched. Shame because it's so much fun.

Finished is as Cherry, last boss wasn't too hard once I learned the tells - spoiler hint for final boss It was much easier when I got Mr Y into the mech first, if Ms Y is in the mech he's able to screws you over with ranged attacks on the ground while you're dodging her bullshit. Conversely when you're dodging big melee hits anyway, she's not a major additional danger. Also when you beat someone in the mech whoever is left on the ground will get in and go apeshit, so try to get their health down similar amounts so you don't have to deal with too much of that. Game extremely extremely owns, and holy poo poo the track that goes hard in the elevator on stage 9 (I think) is one of the best bangers ever.

AndrewP posted:I feel like I have to get reeeeal close to grab. Like closer than I used to back with SoR 1. The grab range feels like it's about the same I think. The problem is your walkspeed is way slower comparatively and you have no dash, which coming off SoR3 and Remake is a gigantic difference. The more I play the more I'm realizing that your Power move (hold attack a little) and your flying special are meant to compensate for this, at least on Axel and Blaze. it's real weird to have a Grand Upper that has 0 priority and covers no distance tho. It's way more of a combo finisher/extender than a poke. Transient People fucked around with this message at 21:54 on Apr 30, 2020 |

Yeah if you're used to remake/3 you'll have to adjust to what this game's asking of you. Personally the big adjustment to me is using the special before i actually would use it in SoR2/R as it no longer breaks enemy combos.

So if you were waiting on word of the Switch version, Digital Foundry says that it is basically equal to the PS4 version. They also say that the Xbox version was missing a graphics options menu, but it doesn't matter much. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2020-streets-of-rage-4-switch-xbox-one-port-analysis I am an idiot with money so I may get this on the switch anyway.

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.

The theme that kicks in around 2:50 of Rising Up is the best. Pretty amazing how cohesive the whole soundtrack feels despite coming from 6 different composers.

Beat the game on hard with a buddy online on co-op. Netcode wasn't terrible for a coast to coast thing. Couple little stutters here and there, but perfectly servicable. We even had friendly hits on because I didn't know I could turn them off until after we started.  Still haven't made it past stage 6 on Normal in single player though. Mostly been playing Adam, since having the little hop-dash makes the game feel so much better. Everybody else feels ridiculously slow to me and it makes getting past some of the environmental hazards in time a very tight window.

My partner and I just played through about 2/3 of this and it's a loving blast. The music is great, the character designs are absolutely beautiful and it has a lot of really satisfying physicality to it. My only flaw is a theres an unused character teased in the art who looked wild and we're sad she never made it.

I wonder if there is something wrong with the audio in the game because the sound track on youtube sounds so much cleaner and pops more than it does in the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zVWzjCCM54

You can kinda get around that with Blaze by using her air special, which is this giant flying Chun-Li kick that you can do twice before you land.

One thing i'll say though is that dotemu could really stand to lay off the super armor- no, it doesn't make for interesting bosses-give them real counterattacks if it's too easy for players to juggle them. The bosses are for the most part the least fun aspect of the game.

OK last post complaining about something but I have the windows store game pass version and in addition to my audio issues the Diamond/Garnet ect jump kick lady enemy plays a male hit/death sound. I've been watching a video of the ps4 version and not only is the overall audio quality better but those enemies have female voices. Maybe the game pass version is screwed up?

Maybe that's how 1 was, been a while The walk does feel slow and I'm honestly getting my rear end kick pretty bad. Feels like there's something I'm missing, maybe it's the power move I need to be using more

Axel is the worst SoR4 character in the game. He really feels like he's from a game where enemies are at SoR2 levels of activity.

I think he has something on Blaze that is very important, and that's a really reliable aerial special. Axel has a lot of ways to get in with that, which helps, and his forward does amazing damage if you can land it properly. Definitely not a newbie friendly character though, rookies should play Cherry because she's way more forgiving. PS: holy poo poo the final boss. I'm supposed to beat this while coming into a long-rear end level with only two lives? D:

Hurts to hear this and know it's true when he's my favorite. Did you see the combo video I posted, though? He feels like they were trying to turn him into Max like SOR2, slow and strong, but gave up halfway. Still feels good to to do his full combo into grand upper and he has a few easy combos. Flashy combo like attack x4, grand upper, cancel grand after the first two hits into forward+special, then cancel the forward+special before the big uppercut into your star is great. You can juggle them a bit on the way down, too. Try juggling with jumping down+attack x2, then cancel in the air into air special. Firstborn fucked around with this message at 03:46 on May 1, 2020 |

I feel like the only thing Axel is missing is a real hitbox on Grand Upper honestly. I just...don't use that move because trying to use it to contest anything gets you killed. It's pure combo filler but I'd rather forward special anytime I wanna rack up damage because it makes combo routes less awkward. If he had a meterless poke he'd be absolutely monstrous, even if he was slow.

I just attack x4 and use grand upper instead of the last sidekick, to be honest. Does real good damage.Forward+Special is great but classically leaves you open. Grand Upper you can weave into combos, from grabs, and the hitbox is pretty meaty, you can really get some nice scoops with it when it looks like you shouldn't be able to. It's honestly my favorite "blitz attack" out of the whole cast. Floyd's is fine, Blaze's has weird start-up and travels a bit too far to be reliable, Adam's feels like a worse Grand Upper. I haven't played a lot of Cherry yet. E: Keep in mind as well, "why not both" - you can again, attack x4, grand upper, cancel into your forward+special. If you are ever going forward+special from your attack string, why not throw in a grand upper in between? attack x3, pause, attack x3, grand upper is also a classic axel string (used to be x2 attack but you can do 3 here), taking advantage of crazy hitstun on the 3rd attack Firstborn fucked around with this message at 03:59 on May 1, 2020 |

Here's another cool grand upper combo grab, neutral attack x3(knee, knee, jumpkick), you'll launch them ... hit them with x1 regular standing attack, then grand upper

Finished the game twice on Normal, once in a four player mess, and once solo, and solo is way easier. Final boss tip: It is a much easier fight if you get Mr. Y into the mech (by damaging him a lot first) instead of Ms. Y because those projectiles can mess you up

Whew! Finally beat that last stage on Hardest. The boss was super fun, but man, those macebots were AWFUL. I lost two lives and still had to burn two stars to get rid of them. Really good game honestly. Exactly what the franchise needed for a comeback. My only quibble is I really wish all characters had proper dashes because I love the sheer choice of engagements that gave me in SoR3, but the game knows what it wants to do and achieves it masterfully. Hopefully I can play it with my brother on mania soon and see just how difficult it is! Transient People fucked around with this message at 05:59 on May 1, 2020 |

Are you referring to getting warped to the SOR2 alien level with the claw dude? cause if so that was cool but I don't think I got any reward. Nice easter egg still. My brother and I did our first run on hard mode, figured normal would be too easy if there's two of us. Game was mostly pretty well balanced until the last level... we used an assist. We played Axel and Blaze so no dashes which started to get a little annoying but my god this game rules. I don't think I can play the old ones again after experiencing the joys of juggling combos. Blaze's voice sort of sounds similar to the old games but it's just funny to see this rough and tumble bad girl sounding like that haha. Oh and best cutscene when Axel does a grand upper on that pile of cash
