Roll. It’s how I dodge them every time.

I do but I still get clobbered. Do you need to roll early?

I do it right when his arms are coming down.

Best thing about this game is this track.

So I have never really tried the beat em up genre but I got Neon free on PSN.

Are there fundamentals that translate between beat em ups? Is there a resource for beat em ups? Does the depth of gameplay even warrant a wiki? Google turned up nothing.

Would like to get into “high level” Final Fight or DD if it actually exists. Meaning pushing for finishing the game without using continues or other self made challenges. I just don’t know where to start, or if what I see is what I really get. To make a point out of that; to the unfamilar person watching two people playing Street Fighter they may just see buttons being hit and two cartoons smacking the crap out of one another. They may never know that there are set ups, frame traps, and mind games going on.

Tldr; how deep are beat em ups?

The whole point is exploring the games yourself and not just copying methods someone else already discovered before you. Just 1CC your way from the very first moment and never look at strategy guides nor youtube videos.

If a new arcade shmup comes out and you start by looking at a strategy guide for advice how to beat the last boss, you are destroying the experience.

And if you want some deeper, fighting game inspired beat em ups try Aliens vs Predator and Battle Circuit. (Both by Capcom BTW and you can see the inspiration.)
