Streets of Rage 4 Thread.

[BrawlMan]

I got an email earlier this week. Apparently the limited run editions of Streets of rage 4 will be delivered in September and come with a CD soundtrack. It's odd, because you can get the game through almost any store now Physically. Even GameStop is taking pre-orders. Though those editions come with a different bonuses. Those bonuses are a poster and keychain. What is even weirder is that the physical editions from other stores comes out July 21st. I don't regret my purchase for limited run, but I am a bit disappointed. Guess that means I'll just now got a couple physical copies early. One is going to go to my brother.

I got another email from limited run games. The good news is that my steelbook edition comes in during the middle of August. I got two copies: one for PS4 and one for Switch. The standard edition already came in the mail and it was a gift for my older brother. the funny thing is I'm going to end up having another copy of this game, because I also pre-order from GameStop, albeit it comes with its own unique bonuses too. If you plan on getting a physical copy from GameStop or Amazon I suggest you preorder now.

Thought about that too. I figured it might have been over done at this point. Works either way for me.

Nah, Raul Juila is NEVER overdone. That man's M Bison is an immortal legend. In my opinion anyway.

Posting some final thoughts. The forum will always be open for those with questions or anything to add.

I find this game better than SOR2 by a small margin. While there are some problems like enemies are given super armor and Axel's walk speed is too slow (there is an update patch that will address these issues). I find this game hard to put down. While there are 12 stages, the levels themselves do not out stay their welcome. The fact you can replay them any time for incentives for better rankings is a big plus. As much as I love all of the previous game, they can get padded at times. The fact that level select is hidden behind a cheat code does not help. Granted, if you have the 3DS versions of 1 & 2, they're unlocked from the start. Save states are thing if you have any of the Sega/SOR compilation packs. 4 has the most bonuses out of all the games. You have story mode, arcade mode, boss rush, battle mode, 2-4 player co-op (2 player only when doing online), and 17 unlockable characters. Some neat visual and audio bonuses too.

SOR4 > or = SOR2 > BARE KNUCKLE 3 > SOR1 > SOR3.

For many what could have been, if Streets of Rage went full 3D.

I have seen it, but I did not post it on the thread at all. All are welcome.

 

[BrawlMan]

It finally came! The classic edition arrived today! I got the PS4 version, now to just wait for the Switch version. It should come within next week.

 

[BrawlMan]

I got the Limited Run Switch version today!

 

[BrawlMan]

Finally got all of the S Ranks on Hardest Mode. Stage 4's score requirement is complete ass. You need at least 35,000 to get the S Rank. I did it by using Blaze. She's a combo fiend with many exploits and cancels. I had to get two Out of This World combos to get high so quickly. I am not sure about doing an S Rank Mania Run, but I got an S Rank for most of the stages on that mode. I don't have the energy for it right now, so I am good.

[BrawlMan]

Finally! I got all S Ranks for Mania Mode! Fuck Old Pier and Y Tower! Especially Y Tower! Why did they have to spawn so many Thai fighters and Karate men. Max is an even bigger pain, because of the patch made him more difficult and function even more like a Konami beat'em up boss. It's done! It's done!
