Edit: Some extra stuff just in case any devs are reading: When performing the jumping throw, Max throws the enemy closer to him so that he can follow up with a grab. Proper lol at the tick throw, me too I think. Only played the first couple of levels, which, apart from a weird SNIPER appearing (I think you can turn this guy off right?) That and his powerbomb are the utter nuts. Yup, his atomic drop got nerfed and that squeeze of death got nerfed to 4 squeezes instead of 5. I wish his up and down mobility is slightly better. I pick Axel in SOR2 for the same reasons as Nate though. max's 3 star one involves a shoulder tackle going into some kind of wild diving grab. You can adjust your cookie settings, otherwise we'll assume you're okay to continue. Blaze with a knife is outstanding. Streets of Rage 2 on Mania with Max, taking ZERO DAMAGE. I've also been listening to the SOR2 soundtrack on youtube all afternoon. Shows how good I must have been at it though. Essentially like playing Skate in SOR2 but everyone can do it. His jab loops did pretty much break SOR2 though. It's a shame so much about it is based on knowing enemy placements and movements, it looks like a speedrun in that sense than a display of skill. On SOR3 it's comparable numbers to Normal difficulty and they move the same, it's just that a basic jab off a generic punk does a silly amount of damage. Enemies make it way more difficult to grab them. Neutral jump knee drop into grab, two attacks then jump over and throw, because it does more damage. Put me in the 'no clue about the upgraded F, F + B' group too I used to love SOR3 as well, one of the first Mega Drive games I got I think and didn't really have much of a concept that it was supposed to be terrible because of the difficulty until years later.

The charging up of the A special moves was brilliant and stopped players from camping and hitting A.

That was bugging me last night too. aye, i have been keeping an eye on this for the past couple of years and always enjoy playing it. Branching paths, improved animations, extra characters - it sounds so good on paper, but just wasn't quite up to SOR2's standards. it was brilliant. Escaping from Max from the back: The atomic drop can hit or miss depending on where the grabbed moves to. Oh I just noticed something new in this. Takes a bit of getting used to. Take that Donovan you slapheaded bastard. I like the sniper, He keeps you on your toes and his shots are easy enough to avoid, what with the flashing crosshair and all. Shame this thing doesn't have co-op.). Axel has the easiest infinite jab too, because Skate's and Blaze's are too fast and Max's is too slow. Also they have introduced what I think is something new, in that if you press special while running it seems to do a new attack of some sort. You're invincible for like the whole thing as well so it's a pretty godlike special attack, but the trade off is that if you die you lose all three stars, so you can't be too reckless once you've got it.

Plus, in SOR2, Max could grab almost anyone with the right timing except for Shiva. That and his SOR2 F, F, attack thing is godlike. Now he's just very slow in a game where most enemies can run circles around you, and not that powerful anymore.
