BirthofaNova plays Streets of Rage - Part 7 of 7

Here it is...the final battle with Mr. X!

New enemies that only show up here come out to play when you beat Abadede again.

The martial artists in black take more damage than the orange ones. When they fight in groups, they're pretty annoying. Fight them like you would the orange ones.

The other ones are light green variations of the dominatrix and the juggler. They show up just before you fight the evil Blaze Fielding twins again, and if you're playing on Easy, neither of them will show up.

The green juggler fights like the red ones. Also, these two enemies follow the same color scheme as the almost-as-scarce green Signals.

I forgot to mention how nicely the night transitions to day through the windows in this level. It's a very nice touch.

The final boss here is Mr. X. If you accept his offer in 1-Player Mode or if both of you accept it in 2-Player Mode, you'll be sent back to Round 6. (If you make it back, you'll fight him once and for all.) If one of you accepts and the other rejects in 2-Player Mode, you'll both have to fight each other. If the one that accepts wins, he'll become the new syndicate leader and you'll get the bad ending. If you reject his offer in 1-Player Mode, or if both of you reject it in 2-Player Mode, he'll send some red Galsias after you. Fight them off, and you'll fight the man himself.

He'll hit you with the butt of his gun, similar to Abadede's clothesline, except he stops a little more quickly. He'll also try to shoot you down, too. Jump kicks work best against his charge attacks. When he's shooting, throw the red Galsias at him, and keep your distance. He'll look at you, the player, before he shoots, which gives him away every time.

Just like Abadede's clothesline, you can sidestep it and do grab damage on Mr. X if you're quick enough, which is actually pretty nice. Throwing the red Galsias at him does more damage to him than anything else, though, so keep that in mind.

When you beat Mr. X, you'll send him flying, with machine gun clips flying around before he gets back up only to fall over like he's suffering from a heart attack.

Enjoy your ending, as well as your new high score!
