They often have better range, better damage, and more priority than your regular attacks, but they temporarily drain your health, so use them wisely. Specials are higher damaging and higher priority attacks that help finish, and sometimes extend, your combos with devastating impact. Special AttacksĮvery character is equipped with various special attacks: But at the least, unlike Special Attacks, they do not cost you any health. And just like Special Attacks they have a long recovery rate so you are vulnerable during the long animation and can easily be hit out of a combo so timing and positioning is always key when risking the use of Blitz Attacks. Assuming the enemy you jump on does not have an Anti-Air Attack or luckily just doesn’t use it when you decide to drop an Air Stagger on them, this attack is not only great for combo set ups, but also jumping over an enemy’s attack so you can regain priority in the altercation.īlitz Attacks are a lot like Special Attacks in that they do more damage, have more range, and more priority than Regular Attacks. They have been a series staple since the beginning and every good Streets of Rage player utilizes this attack to bridge the gap between theirselves and enemies that are out of reach from their current position. Two useful attacks each character has is their Air Stagger, which is done by pressing Down+Attack when you are airborne, and their Blitz Attack, which is done by pressing Forward, Forward, Attack.Īir Staggers are incredibly useful for dropping in on enemies from a distance and staggering them to set up a combo. While it’s not always possible to take out high health enemies in one go, always do your best to damage them as much as you can so that they do not disrupt your ability to take out the weaker goons. You’ll typically want to take enemies out within a combo as opposed to knocking them down, only to let them get back and continue to pose a threat to you, especially enemies who have more threatening attacks than others. Some enemies can be defeated with these basic combo strings, but for the tougher ones, you’ll want to take advantage of the Staggering System.įor every character, the first two hits of their standard combo stagger the enemy* and you’ll want to take a moment to pause restart the combo while the enemy is staggered so that you can dish out the maximal amount of damage in the end. Each character has a basic 4 or 5 hit combo that can be done by simply standing still and pressing the attack button that many times. So you’ve managed to punch your enemy in the face and initiate a possible combo set up. Instead, you’ll want to curve around Diva from above or below her by sliding up or down the Y axis, and getting in close enough to start landing any of your standard attacks on her to initiate a stagger and combo. What you can do is maybe go in for a jump attack, but the attack has several active frames that will damage you and prevent you from getting a proper drop on her. In the screenshot above, Diva is using her long range attack which you cannot counter if you were standing on the same lane as her in the X axis. Likewise with defending from their attacks, moving away Horizontally or Vertically will make the difference between domination or being dominated. In order to start landing successful hits, you will need to know when to approach them Horizontally or Vertically. The goal is to move along each axis as safely as possible while defeating all enemies on the screen. Each screen allows for Horizontal Movement as marked by the X axis, and Vertical Movement (marked by the Y axis). Basic Brawler Theoryįor those who are new to the 2D sidescrolling brawler genre, here is a basic rundown on how these games function. In this guide we will explore several strategies that will help you achieve high scores and complete the harder difficulties, or at the least make easier modes even easier as you pummel your enemies to a pulp with flash and style. For easier difficulties, you can get by with button mashing and not much thinking if you’d like, but for Hard, Hardest, and Mania it will require some actual strategizing and Streets Smarts to survive the raging within the streets. Like a good brawler, SOR4 can be as deep or as shallow as you want it to be. Welcome to the Strategy and Survival Guide for Streets of Rage 4!
