In part three of the Streets of Rage series, Mr. X is back and this time his plan involves replacing public officials with his own robots. Only Axel, Blaze, Skate, and newcomer Dr. Zan can stop him. Streets of Rage 3 features all of the beat 'em up action you would expect from a Streets of Rage game.

One new feature is the special move power bar, where it only costs energy to do a special move if the bar isn't full. Also new is the ability to do special maneuvers with different weapons, depending on the character. For example, Skate has no special move with the pipe, but he does have one with the knife. The opposite is true for Axel. Any weapon Dr. Zan picks up is turned into energy balls which he can throw at the enemies. Secret characters and multiple endings also add replay value.

In this run, watch atro city ( tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/atro%20city ) stylishly dispose of a lot of thugs and robots using Blaze and Dr. Zan, clearing a long game in only about 38 minutes. A glitch is used which does damage much more quickly when two characters attack multiple enemies at the same time. For more details, read the submission comments ( tasvideos.org/3984S ).

    "Well, if I die, you die. Goodbye." Oh, my Jesus. This was around the time where Sega was more than a little too hands-on with localization; Most famously the "Ash-dropping"; Changed many colors around; Nerfed all the characters, added too many enemies and called it "higher difficulty"; Rewrote the entire story and all the dialogue, so we get 6th-grade howlers like that line.

    Um dos melhores beat 'em up de todos os tempos, não se fazem mais jogos tão divertidos assim! Fora que esses gráficos e música são espetaculares para a época, grande Yuzo Koshiro 😁👌

    When I was a kid I always liked Nintendo better than Sega. However this game made me want a Sega. I would play this all the time with my uncles at my grandmother's house. Then I would play zelda on my Nintendo at home. Man I loved those days.

    I love that all the enemies feel peer pressured to jump into the super slap spot when you guys are doing the downward jump attack. "Hey they all got slapped 50x per second, I need this in my life too!"
  • Что было бы, если б Дед Мороз и Снегурочка попали в киберпанк.

    That sideways beating trick broke the whole game.
