This hot take is aimed at Gaming Slopes, and some other YT critics, but Final Vendetta is not this second coming or "true successor/sequel" to Streets of Rage or Final Fight. The game has cool combat mechanics and an awesome soundtrack, but lots of fake difficulty and padding greatly holds the game back. There is only arcade mode, and no continues. To unlock the other modes, you have to beat arcade mode. That includes the training mode. Who the fuck does that?! The only difficulty options are Easy and Hard, changing the amount of lives. Ultra difficulty can only be unlocked by playing Hard with the slowest character. Again, it's backwards, stupid, and is just padding for the sake of it. In Streets of Rage 4, no matter what difficulty you started on Story Mode, and who you played as, once you beat the game, Arcade Mode and Mania difficulty was unlocked. That is how you do accessibility options.
I know Slopes had some disappointments with SOR4, and still considers SOR2 the better game. I disagree heavily, but the man is titled to his opinions. I can't help, but feel that SOR4 disappointed him too much, yet he does not want to fully admit it and looking for something to fill the void. There are other games that are better "successors": The TakeOver and Fight n' Rage.
