I exhausted all continues and lives maybe 3 or 4 times. I had to restart atleast once for an issue I had when saving a state,so I would have beaten it on that try most likely.

This is unedited except for a few pause screens I edited out from when the emulator was having a save state issue and would exit back to hyperspin interface when saving state. I was going to save state on the final boss in case I fucked up, so I could go back and practice. I had more than enough lives to beat him without practicing.

I chose blaze because her speed is very useful for the technique I use. Basically grabbing and throwing most of the enemies. Due to punching being very inconsistant. Even throws are random it seems. Often losing grip for no clear reason.

The only thing that makes this game somewhat challenging is the shitty hit detection and control. Its a matter of out bullshitting the game. Punching do not really work so I only used them on the fat boss , mixed with the grab. For the most part. You can do some cheap tricks that I found on the bosses.

For the final boss I had not practiced him at all, so I just used the abundance of continues and lives I had left over to overwhelm him.

Try to get the pole and keep it. Its very good for crowd control and killing enemies fast. Stay away from other pick ups as its very easy to pick up other shit when you dont want to. Yet it is very hard to pick up items quickly, so I usually waited until the area was clear.

I beat this game on genesis and this port is pretty bad, but not horrible for the console its on at the time.

I may go through Streets Of Rage 2 on game gear at some point too. I also beat that one on genesis. Never beat the third one on genesis , except the much easier japanese version, so maybe at some point I will work on that again.

I believe you get 4 continues with 3 lives each for this game. You start where you died. You earn and find a few 1-Ups throughout the game too.

Stay tuned !!
