Chilean Retrogamer plays Violent Storm - Level 2 of 7


You think the music is cheesy here? Wait until the next level!


Level 2: Train


Dr. Hogun is some rugged look individual who throws bombs at you and runs away. Just like the Holly Woods in Final Fight, he goes down with one hit. 

Oh, and don't worry. It just gets more similar to that game from there. It's still fun, though, so don't run off on me now.

Gigadeath is a punk rocker in black leather who attacks you with a long chain. R. Ryuken is just a recolor of Ryuken, but he's not any less dangerous!

If people are too close to the background edge of the train when they get killed, they can be knocked off the train to their deaths.

If you grab one of the piglets near the mother pig, it turns into a football that you can throw at enemies. It actually damages them, if you can believe it. Of course, you'd think the developers would have known that footballs aren't made out of pig parts anymore.

You finally meet Sheena and her kidnapper again, who sics the train conductor on you. The boss here is Joe, an evil train conductor with a ticket puncher big enough to be carried in both hands and put you in a nasty vice grip. He has a roll attack and a jumping attack that both come out fairly quickly if you're too close to him when he's down.  You'll want to be away from him at an angle to stop the jumping attack from occurring. He can also do a grab attack in the form of getting on top of you and punching you multiple times.

If you knock the ticket puncher out of his hands, he'll move out of reach to the lead car and ring a bell to call out a big fat guy named Lollypop. This huge pile of fat of a man is easy to take out, but he attacks with sumo strikes, diving slides and fire breaths. Add to the fact that you have to mash buttons to pick him up and throw him so you don't risk getting flattened by him and you got yourself a normal enemy that will prove harder than usual to defeat through very close combat.

Joe is really easy to take out with your standing combo if you can get close enough to him, so rely on those. Just keep getting him to back away and do your standing combo whenever you can and you should be able to reach him.

When you beat Joe, the lead car separates from the rest of the train. You've still got a long way to go.

Final Fight Round 1 vs Violent Storm Round 2: Well, we're on a train compared to a subway. Also, Joe calling out Lollypop is very eerily similar to Thrasher/Damnd siccing some flunkies on you.
