Yeah, Mona and Lisa are by far the hardest bosses I've encountered in the game so far.  I don't have a great strategy for beating them.  I just try to hit them as they are landing, which many times results in me getting kicked.  I also always use a special attack when one lifts the other into the air and is coming in for the jump kick.

I didn't have a problem at all with the mine carts.  The track that the cart is coming on will vibrate first, so it's pretty easy to know where not to stand as long as you pay attention.

Ah, never paid enough attention to notice that the track vibrates. Good call!

I wait for one of them to flip over me and attack as soon  as they land behind me.  You have to wait for them to come to you, you can't really bring the fight to them.

I plan on getting a good 3 or 4 runs in tonight. I'll have a score posted for sure

Wife's family coming in town for the weekend. I'm really going to have to stay up late and cut back on the "holiday cheer" to get in any run this weekend.

Yep, tough game. I might still have a run or two in me tonight. This may be the biggest game to improve in during Battle Royal

Got in a few runs last night, but didn't score any better than before. However, I did make it further in the game.

I'm not surprised nobody beat SoR 3 by the end of this week.

But I'm sold on the game now.  It's not as bad as I first thought it was.  I wish the music was better, but I'm willing to look past the other minor gripes I had with the game.

I guess I felt the same way about SoR3 than I did about FF8.  FF7 was so good that I was comparing everything about 8 to 7 and I never gave it a chance.  But now in hindsight 8 isn't a bad game at all.  It's hard to break down those biases.

I think SoR3 is a pretty good game as well. I think the difficulty is the major reason people don't care for it.

Congrats to Disposed Hero for winning yet another week of SoR! Dude, give the rest of us a chance.

As you know, the remaining month is the Battle Royale. Improve your scores in any or all three of the games and earn points based on highest point total. Remember, there are still points to be earned by finishing games, finishing with no continues, and finishing with a partner. Good luck!

Just wanted to jump in and mention this to you folks:
I was looking in the ESRB database for some rating descriptors for an old PC title and saw that 3D Streets of Rage for 3DS was just rated. Turns it out it released last week in the eShop!

http://www.joystiq.com/20...ia-streets-of-rage-3d-kn/

Enjoy. Wink

I haven't had a chance to play any SoR the last few days due to the holidays and such, but I finally sat down with SoR 3 again today.  I made it all the way to the Stage 6 boss before using my first continue, and then proceeded to burn through the rest of my lives and continues on the last level.  Here's hoping I can finally beat it on my next playthrough.

Raised the bar a bit for SoR 3:

A couple more attempts and I finally beat SoR 3.  Not surprisingly, I wasn't able to do it without using a continue, but I'm ok with that.





And with that, I am officially done with Streets of Rage for a while.  I had a lot of fun with this one, guys.  Good luck to the rest of you who are still playing!
