How to Play Streets of Rage Online

In Streets of Rage, your goal is to fight through each stage, defeating all enemies and the stage boss to progress. You control your character from a side view, moving left and right while punching, kicking, and using special attacks to defeat thugs. You can also pick up weapons like pipes and knives. A key strategy is to learn enemy patterns and use your special attack (which costs a small amount of health) when surrounded. Early on, focus on mastering basic combos and avoiding being cornered. As you advance, manage your health items and use environmental attacks like throwing enemies into the background. During tense moments, especially against bosses, keep your distance, wait for openings, and use your super moves wisely to deal massive damage.
