Birthofanova plays Streets of Rage 2 - Stage 4

This is one of my favorite levels in the game, if only because of the whole stadium thing going on. Also, Abadede is back, and he has more personality than in the last game! Wouldn't you know it?

Stage 4


First Section

Stadium Entrance


With the amusement park behind you (actually, it's in the background), it's time to take on the stadium. There isn't much here other than a bunch of enemies and a martial arts guy. Hopefully, you can find a pipe and smash your way through the entire section here.

Second Section

The Baseball Field


How does one get from the entrance to the stadium to the batbox in mere seconds? Darn you, Nintendo Logic!

You'll fight two more dominatrixes in this part. If you haven't seen it already, you'll see it now: these girls have another whip attack that shocks you like Blanka's electricity. Now this seemingly useful upgrade to mini-boss status looks worthy.

When you reach the baseball diamond, you'll meet Big Ben. He's just like the fat fire-breathing guys from the last game, except he has some more attacks, he's smaller, and he's a lot faster. Amazingly, you can perform throws and suplexes on these guys this time around. When you beat him, the whole area around the home plate becomes an elevator...

Third Section

Elevator


As this elevator goes down, you'll be fighting six martial arts guys amongst other shady characters. When you beat them all up, the elevator stops.

Fourth Section

Underground Fight Pit


Oh, boy.

Break the boxes to find a turkey if you need it, then meet Abadede. He still has that clothesline, but he also has some knife edge chops, a suplex, a dive attack, and even the ability to break out of grabs and damage you, which he can also use to evade certain attacks! He's not too hard with three life bars, but on harder difficulties (especially Mania), he'll have as many as five.
