Around 20 minutes to beat this stage. No assists used and one death. Starting to get a feel for the combat in this game. Cherry is my favorite character to use so far. I like the speed and ability to do running attacks and combo them into my regular combos for some great crowd control. Zan from SOR 3 is another one Id like to try, whenever he unlocks. I used him to beat Streets Of Rage 3 and have a tutorial up on the channel for that run. I beat this stage on my second try which will be posted up in my MANIA MODE playthrough playlist. I still have to look up the specifics of her other moves. There are some moves done with Y that I havent been using and probably other moves I dont know about.
When I complete this mode I will make a single video version and tutorial with commentary.
