Streets of Rage 4 (New Patch) - Mania No Death Clear (Axel) 

We been out here bro

Grand Upper Salute!

QQ I was just barely scratching the surface with Axel before the patch. I was a die hard Floyd guy, what was the change?

What was the change ?

@@uchiha4668 Faster walking speed. More damage on punches and star special. More damage and reach on charge attack. And does more wall damage Grand upper goes farther and has invencibility frames on start. Grand upper hits OTG, and the damage is divided more equal. Only the 3rd hit from grand upper hits OTG, but it does good damage. Air special works the same on heavy chars (ignore weight class). And hits OTG from beggining to end. The recovery is fast also. Defensive special OTG properly and less hit freeze. Cost less health now. Offensive special has bigger hitbox. Better recovery on combo. Pipe swing has a less recovery, and travels farther when using with blitz inputs. For all chars: Specials and star move can interrupt any hitstun state on ground Specials can interrupt hit freeze Faster jump start for SOR4 characters. Axel is the best for crowd control now without using specials. Best throws in the game and charge attack. Great reach on punches and a little faster after the last patch. Killer forward special when using properly. And hits many enemies with bigger hitbox. Great neutral jump kick that send enemies flying.

How much does a baby 😍😍❤️

they pretty much nailed what SoR2 was about. Pause delay on every hit + skull-cracking sound effects. It gives the feeling that you're really dealing some massive damage to the enemies.

@@thekrustaceox5181 SoR4 is nothing like SoR2

@@dangamer8884 go learn how to troll properly because right now youre still failing

That's what disappointed me about sor3. Sor2 had some good cracking sound effects. In sor3, most of the hits sounded like air bags popping, or...hard slapping a marble floor under 2 inches of water, or...kinda hard to describe, but still disappointing.

I hate those Donovan sob

that was TENSE

Funny that when I came down to read that comment I immediately knew without checking you meant the chicken on stage 4.

It’ll be cool but it’ll take a really long time to animate them.

Run*

yeah really impressive how calm he stayed. i'd have freaked and made a mistake

it's the baseball bat, it launches enemies into the air

This makes me wonder if they would add a harder difficulty setting than Mania since a lot of devs seem to do that(adding harder difficulties after launch).

@@mitu123Copper Exactly what I thought about. I am not at all against it. Keeping giving players more to reach for and overcome. They could make a campaign where there are more enemies and more dangerous ones show up early. Imagine a mode where specials take life like in SOR 2😅 or a mode where there are no specials.

Harder difficulty setting than Mania?! You're all crazy. XD And no, this comment wasn't meant to be taken seriously.

@@TomboyGamerGal I honestly hope the devs patch in a harder difficulty that Mania one day, though I'm not sure that would happen!

@@mitu123Copper I think an expansion of the story mode would be more interesting, but with a level of difficulty slightly above that version, since it would be a continuation. Then they could bring back Skate and Dr Zan who were left out of the game's history. And make Max and Shiva playable that are already part of the story and Skate and Dr Zan that in this case could enter the game's history after creating an expansion for SOR4. Roo and Ash could enter the bonus stage. In other words: 2 more arcades could be added in the expansion of the game's story to unlock these 2 characters. I think it would be very interesting!!!

Mania in SOR2 was way harder than those difficulties, hell I only beaten Mania once in that game using Axel.

@@mitu123Copper I played myself when I was a growing up as a kid and SoR games were some of the most difficult in terms of its difficulty curve. I never even beat the final area because how crazy hard it got. I love they kept that. I just got SoR4 like 5 days ago. Somehow never heard of a new release til now. I played through on normal on the story and OMG the last stage was kicking my ass. Took me like 10 attempts. Not taking me too long to get the hang of it. Just gotta learn enemy behavior and spawns. I played River City Girls as my most recent beat em up. Very good game with very interesting combo system. More move options but that's due to the 2 main girls and then 2 extra characters you unlock later. I prefer the higher difficulty like in SoR. But they need more stages now. 12 isn't much now a days.

13:58?

If he got a weapon in hands, it's pretty safe to do so

Adam from SOR1 needed no improvement. In fact, they made him unbalanced after this patch. On the other hand, the SOR3 Skate was on point and now it sucks in this patch.

Guess no one agreed with ya.

After a number of practices on stage select throughout, i was able to complete mania with every character at least once. Some really fun and others were grudging at best. Keep at the practice and learn the best positioning with the different characters and you will get it.

You should be able to beat Mania with the balance patch now, it's much easier than before the patch, and I beat Mania before the patch even in Arcade mode as well.

@@mitu123Copper definitely right. I did it before thr patch as well with all the characters. A few weren't fun but in the end it was a nice to have done it. After not playing for a month or so, the patch happened and then i came back and beat it on arcade again with far less difficulty.

@@rubensmith1300 Yep, that's just how it is. To me the game only has a real challenge on the last stage due to some changes in the 2nd half, but even Mania is much more doable now than than ever before, even with Axel.

@@mitu123Copper before I felt like I earned the win, not so much anymore. I guess it is better for those that weren't able to do it before.

Unfortunately it was already in the preceding patch, like day one release

@@fieryfist3150 Ahhhhh usually would just throw the weapon instead of swing it. Done it unintended.

Considering everybody could run in SoR3 (and we all got used to doing it in the fan remake too) no longer having that for this game still feels a bit weird.

@@reloadpsi I believe it bro. U play on ps4?

PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Steam.

@@nomado.3855 thanks bro

@@kevincovins3546 Yer welcome amigo.

Just mash all the buttons.

It should update automatically.

New Axel of course. He much easier to play now.

Huge improvement, he's probably my main now.

You mean him doing S Rank runs?

There are a lot of changes, read the patch notes! You can find it on steam or searching through google.

I think they also changed the final boss fight with both of the Y twins to where if one of them gets in the mecha, that same twin gets all of his/her health back

A lot of things, from character changes(buffs and nerfs) to enemy changes(for their attacks and armor) and even some changes in the stages themselves.

69

10.1 or just call September patch 2020

Yeah, it used to be the same sound of picking up food items.

If you are playing story mode the lives don't stack. They only stack if you play in arcade mode.

@@mitu123Copper thank you!

@@tutiloco6749 No problem, and play Arcade mode, it's the best mode in the game!

Ha, really? Even with the patch?=O

I can understand on Stage 7 since they are constantly getting in your way, but on Stage 2 it doesn't make as much sense since he's the boss and should attack a bit quicker than that.

@@mitu123Copper exactly. But tbh I feel for stage 7, they should have kept him buffed but only make one instead of 2 and just added more cops

@@emarievans2012 Yeah that would be a good way to handle it, I agree with that. Would be more balanced and fair too.

In fact, they exaggerate the improvement they made at Cherry Hunter. She already has a race and making the special invincible blitz was a big mistake. Because now you just have to run from side to side to hit the villains several times. For example, I considered her to be one of the worst, I hardly played with her and after the patch, without any training, right away, I'm already playing better with her than with the other characters I worked on to improve myself. They exaggerated this improvement that they made in it. Was good most of the improvements they've made to Cherry Hunter. But this one of the invincible special blitz was too much. Especially because this special does not consume energy and is still easy to perform because it is the only one of the 5 that has a race. They shoulding eliminate that invincibility. And come back with Skate and Shiva from SOR3 before being nerfed. Skate was not overly strong like Cherry is now. Before he was at the right point. Now it sucks. And Shiva was strong because he has a lot of disadvantages compared to the other characters. Since he cannot take advantage of the weapons we found on the floor during the game.

She was super broken before though. As the first boss, she should be a bit easier especially because she blitzes you with extra attackers.

Diva was too difficult for a first stage boss.

She was one of the hardest bosses in the game imo, but apparently a friend of mine who plays way less of these types of games thought she was really straightforward

@@srsgoblin The developers sided with casual players over hardcore players, again 😒

Super armour is always lazy

Y twins have mind control hardbass.

Are they russians or something?

The series did keep slightly lowering that agility as it went along to be fair, to the point he was the power character by SoR3. He's supposed to be more about technique than agility, which roughly translates here to "good lord, those combos."

Go to your settings and you can change the food items.

@@mitu123Copper I didn't see that before, thank you

@@mitu123Copper it's a neat feature

@@DerivativeWorker Yep!

I have Riceballs and Ramen as food items.

How is that useless. He seems doing okay playing solo.

Co-op can make it harder funny enough.

@@dalaxdercrisper957 Co Op is more fun

Imagine thinking super armour was "interesting"

@@OhNoTheFace Giving enemies a means of not just getting run over mercilessly was interesting, yes. Unless you're in the crowd that prefers to just run through everything the same way with little variation? You must love that things like Big Ben's flame attack are irrelevant now.

Difficulty is a joke now, they shot themselves in the foot as there's little reason to replay the game. Whereas before, challenges at higher difficulties gave players something to aim for at least. Another example of why you don't let a vocal subset of your player base convince you to pull apart your game; I doubt most of those complainers even play anymore either.

@@View619 They still run away until they charge you with their armoured move, that still has not changed

@@View619 fighting multiple enemies at once is the challenge. Multitasking. A little armor is fine, but before the patch, the armor was fucking annoying. What made mania so hard on SOR2 was the massively multiplied enemies, that were more aggressive, and so fast it looked like they did 5 tons of cocaine. SOR4 mania feels more like another standard difficulty, though some stages do feel bat shit crazy.

Play with Axel from SOR3🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

A gentleman will walk but never run

You're literally describing every SoR in the series, kid. If you hug the wall, the AI won't come out. Every enemy type has distinct attack(s) that you have to play around. Maybe find an easier game, like SpongeBob Adventures or something IDK.

@@TheSombersound Everything you said is just wrong.

@@YourIdeologyIsDelusional No, it isn't. I've played every single one on their native consoles and have beat all of them. Go back and play them, the AI literally almost identical in most parts. There are a few tweaks, like donovans only pick up pipes now, galsias only pick up the knives, but henchmen have the same moves like the jump kicks, slides, jabs etc.

@@TheSombersound So what you're saying is Streets of Rage was always garbage up until the fan made remake? Cool story bro. Maybe you're right. Go away. You're either wrong one way, or wrong another. Stop being a useless fanboy.

@@YourIdeologyIsDelusional all I am hearing is "mad cause bad." I'm telling you not much has changed, although they changed the artistic style the playstyle is almost identical. And don't refute the AI hiding off screen when you are close to the screen border facing the enemy. That is literally even in the fan made remake that you brought up. You can clearly see the "fan boy" dedication in both. Sorry you're so casual. Find another game mechanic to cry about.
