Streets of Rage Cheats & Tips

when the slower walking woman throws you into the air keep hitting up + jump (usually C) at the same time, then you will land on your feet and take no damage, also works with any enemy who throws you into the air (unsure about the wrestling boss though)

Do you get annoyed by the fact you can barely combo them or grab them? Well, if you wait just a split second after they land from a jump, you can actually grab them. If you do it too soon you get grabbed, but if you wait about a tenth of a second, you can actually grab them and perform a couple of knees and a back drop which does way more damage than single hits. This can shorten down the length of the battle considerably if you can get the hang of it.

At the player & option screen, move the cursor to options hold A, B, C, & Right on controller 2 and press Start on controller 1. In the menu you'll have two new options, the option for more starting lives and a level select.
