SOR4 survival random (4perks) World Record Lvls 227-233 Grand Finale (Streets of Rage 4)

Watch me, ultra instinct Shiva, and my friend Mr. Y, destroy mobs of enemies in surivival mode, reaching a new World Record for Survival Mode in Streets of Rage 4, Level 233. In the end, unfortunately, the game slightly lags from all the chaos, prevents me from using my air senretsu ken- jump cancel to quickly dash to land more quickly/unpredictably, which I do to avoid being 1 hit KOd by a weapon throw by someone off-screen, and as a result I die from the game basically glitching and making me land slowly. Nonetheless, a fun run, and you gotta die at some point, even if its due to the game being overwhelmed. -- Watch live at / diabkiller

Hey again 😊 Epic run. Electric blitz stops the enemies rising as much with final crash right? So must be avoided

[@diabkiller1]

Yeah I always avoid electric blitz because it stops enemies from going into the air to be juggled and build up the combo, which is a lot of what final crash is used for aside from being agile with air senretsu Ken jump cancelling to dash around in the air after final crash. I also always avoid electric heavy attacks for the reason that it prevents air comboes in the air from launching enemies into the ground, which is also a large part of my strategy for giving myself a safe landing/stunning dangerous enemies as I dash right onto the fire spawned where they land. I also think elemental star is often given less credit than deserved- the electric damage spread allowing you to wipe out mobs easier, spread more stunning fires, and slowing them down as the re-approach you if they survive (particularly if you lvl up toxic heavy attacks a good amount) all are very useful, the wiping out cluttered mobs with damage spread probably being the most useful. I really try to get every purple perk, and hopefully get Mr. Y whose ability to disrupt the entire map better than any other tier 4 ally and launch them into the air and into your air attacks, makes him great. Finally, I like to get all 3 survival instinct upgrades if I can, totalling at an increase from 40% defense with ground level and defense maxed out, to 70% defense when you reach half life- in other words, when you reach half life, the damage you take is cut in half. So, I try to purposely spam defensive specials just until I get to half life, with the combo really high, then attack super aggressively knowing that if I do happen to get hit in that moment, I will survive it because of survival instinct, and if I don't get hit, I will be able to heal back up to max super quick cuz of my high combo. So there's a brief summary of my overall strategy

[@diabkiller1]

Oh also one big thing to consider is enemies who can one shot you from off-screen with weapon throws. If you land predictably out of your air senretsu Ken, they can easily wait till your about to land, throw at that moment, and one shot you. Similar thing with throwing guys. So to deal with this, I leave one of my jump cancels most the time to air senretsu Ken jump cancel (what I call a dash) to land quickly and too unpredictably for them to effectively do these things, particularly the darn off-screen weapon throwing guys. In the end here, I actually die from some kind of lag preventing my dash-land from working, resulting in me landing slowly, and getting 1 shotted by an off-screen weapon throw by a Donovan of a polearm

[@diabkiller1]

I'm referring to the guys who try to throw you, not weapons, the second time.

@@diabkiller1 Thank you so much for the detailed strategy summary! And that’s a great point about electric heavy attacks preventing the launch of enemies to the ground. I was so fixed on getting “full electric” that I was blind to see it’s better to just take electric special with Shiva. You say “all purples”, I assume you mean apart from Glass Cannon? I love Glass for fun runs, can’t resist taking it 😉 You ever take it for fun? Since the patch it’s a bit more feasible to use too

[@diabkiller1]

Ah glass Canon is like unbearably bad. When it vastly increases the number of things/ normal enemies who can one shot you, it just makes it even more dangerous to use your specials to get the combo counter higher, which let's face it, heat of the battle is where most of the damage comes from anyways.
