SoR1 Axelās basic jab is godlike 
better than anything the starting cast has lmao. Itās a 1-2 frame move with ridiculous reach and leads into the basic chain that does nice damage, even more when you add more delayed jabs before it. I havenāt gone too far on my harder run with him yet maybe the shortcomings will show up hard on the later enemies. Canāt wait to unlock more retro to see how busted they are lol

Commissioner is a bitch to fight.
Stage 1 boss gets annoying when she spams that snake thing with the armor frames.
Nora, on the other hand, lets you run a combo video on her and her mooks.
Nora is cool at least cause itās a mechanic we havenāt seen in the series before. So it is kind of an interesting fight.
Only thing that sucks about the SoR1 characters us they are very same-y, but yeah those jabs are retarded good.
Also, they actually gave SoR2 characters star power super moves, which is pretty sick.
Didnāt they kinda have star power moves in SoR3? I remember they had some code to unlock broken versions of the characters with super moves, or am I thinking of another game?
Game is so good. Just got beat by not-Freddy Mercury, but the animation and graphics are just on another level. The mayhem that happens when the cops and baddies are on the screen is just crazy, lol.
Using Axel for the first run. Going for the Plain Jane of fundamentals. Wished the used Blazeās SOR1 design for this or something similar. While she doesnāt look as corny as SOR2, itās still not forever GOAT SOR1 design.

Werenāt there jab infinites in the earlier games? Not sure if it was SOR1 or SOR2, but I recall that in one of the older games, you could slowly link jabs together for an infinite.
EDIT: It was SOR2.

You could do it in SOR 1 too depending on enemy character and difficulty level
This is me beating Max on hard difficulty with Skate, spamming his headbutt special move

Max is a slog. His fight is basically finding that one thing you can spam (for me, it was Blazeās air combo) then just waiting around for the opening to do it.

In this game thatās still possible but they have a hard limit on grounded hits. I think after like nine hits or so the next hit always launches. You can still get a juggle after that though so you can still make pretty long combos, itās just not 100% free
Finished it. The last couple of stages felt like they were a tad long.
Also had to learn how to cheese the final boss.
Summary
Basically, take out the brother so heās the one in the robot, not spamming his rockets all over. Then, just stand in the upper left or upper right waiting for the sister, then jump kick, or any other attack thatāll reach. Get the knockdown, then back to the corners.
Onceās sheās down, move down to the bottom left or right corner, as the robot will change where it attacks. Just wait until the arm stops and wail on it.

So far, I hate that Great Value Orange Cassidy mfer that kicks the shit out of you while his hands are in his pockets. Havenāt find a sound strategy to deal with them yet

I been playing this through remote play and Iām not feeling this game. This feels mediocre. The lack of defense annoys the hell out of me. So many situations in this game where I felt having a block or dodge would have been every good. I had a rough time playing anyone who wasnāt Adam or Cherry because no one else had a run or dash. This aināt doing it for me at all.
Well yeah, thatās how these old belt scrollers worked back in the day. For SOR, a lot of it was learning to use the iframes on throws. And you know a lot of people would cry foul had blocking been added.
Those are some annoying little shits, but theyāre nothing compared to the Judo monks!!
They will give a new level of hate and rage!!
Not really. You quickly learn that the best way to beat those is to use judo against them.
