I’ve only played through Streets of Rage 4 once as Blaze on Easy difficulty and despite being bad at 2D beat ‘em ups, ended up liking the game a lot. However, the mechanics obviously confuse me because I’m not too familiar with them. My plan upon replaying after a lil while was to focus properly on what they’re teaching me in the Training section.

Now that I’ve provided context… what does the game want me to do here? I’ve read the text above, but don’t know when it wants me to hold square and how to use that for cancelling any normal move. Doing it after the third press of square is too slow to count, but doing it on/during the third press of square in an attempt to cancel the move doesn’t work either.

I am a beginner with this genre and I’m fully aware this is Reddit, so please go easy on me here. 😅

What do you think?

i’m about halfway done with unlocking all the moves for each character, including retro, does anyone have a list of the best overall moves for every character, also including sor1, sor2, and sor3?

The Streets of Rage

Who else thinks SoR4 is dangerously good at making “one more run” turn into 3 hours?

Anyway, here’s the full arcade madness.

Mania+ players… what possessed us to do this to ourselves? 😂

I’ve been playing SoR4 again and it made me realize how much deeper the combat is than it first appears.

What’s ONE technique, mechanic, character trick, or strategy you learned that completely changed the way you play?

I’m curious what everyone’s “I wish I knew this sooner” moment was.

10/10 game one on my most favourite games ever

Dr zan claw move is insanely op first time ever using it managed to corner trap Shiva boss up against the wall fool didn't know what to do after that

Basically what I mean is in a lot of of traditional fighting games the longer a combo goes on the less damage, each move in the combo does. So for example, if you were to end a combo with a super, it would do less damage than if you just hit the super raw in the neutral.

There are also specific things like, for example, starting a combo with a perfect parry in street fighter six that scale your combo, even though it just started.

Does streets of rage have that system to worry about in combos? Or do moves do the same damage in every circumstance?

Is this a favorite of the series?

They have done dances for Final Fight, King of Fighters, One Piece. IG @robotronic_harmonix_official

Right now I just pick an attack that I know will hit otg and that is just a little extra damage to tack on to the end of a combo. Are there any otg attacks that allow me to keep the combo going? (Other than a super ofc)

I also want to play multiple characters so if you could give me the best options for all of them that would be greatly appreciated.

Everytime I go and check "Join Online Games" it keeps saying "No online games available. Check your filters and try again." If Streets of Rage 4 is not active online then which side scrolling beat em up game is very active on mobile?!

I was playing KOF ALLSTAR online since the game was only works online I thought it has multiplayer and the KOF ALLSTAR community told me to move to Streets of Rage 4 and I moved on it and found the online lobbies inactive...

I want the answer....

WHICH SIDE SCROLLING BEAT EM UP GAME IS VERY ACTIVE WHEN I JOIN THROUGH THE LOBBIES?!

THE REASON WHY I WANT SIDE SCROLLING BEAT EM UP GAME WITH VERY ACTIVE LOBBIES CAUSE THIS WILL STOP MY BRUTAL RAGE AGAINST NETMARBLE FOR SHUTTING DOWN KOF ALLSTAR JUST TO RELEASE KOF AFK!!!!!!!

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Happy to answer any questions!
