Streets of Rage 4: Character Balance Comparison (Day one patch vs September 2020 patch changes).
The follow-up video to my Boss Battles comparison video.
This took a lot longer than I expected because I wanted the gameplay to be as clean as possible.
This video will cover characters who had DIRECT changes rather than INDIRECT changes due to game mechanics affecting everyone like not being able to charge a move whilst executing a charge attack. That will be mentioned in an upcoming episode when I get the chance.
Characters I cover:
* SOR4
Axel,
Blaze,
Adam,
Floyd,
Cherry
* SOR1
Axel,
Blaze,
Adam
* SOR2
Axel,
Max
*SOR3
Axel,
Blaze,
Shiva,
Skate
No SOR2 Blaze because the only change is indirect which is less charge attack spam.
SOR2 Skate feels the same but Mike told me after uploading this that he did get a change to his second vault which allows him vault throw properly.
SOR3 Zan's only change isn't gameplay related, instead his hit grunt no longer plays his death sound effect.

Note: Some were not mentioned because they were amended when issues were discovered in a closed beta build (you know the players who posted character patch analysis a few months ago).

Special thanks to Sprintgod for explaining to me the causes of SOR4 Blaze's Glitch-finite strat with the back attack.
