1.- How can you air grab the enemy (a la NES DD3?), I couldn't figure how
2.- Does the character posses the good old elbow attack??
3.- Are there many secrets?? The only thing I could read of in the game was a secret sound test.
1.- Dunno
2.- Right now I don't remember clearly, if it is there it's completly useless now.
3.- There's the sound test you mentioned and there's another cheat that gives you more lives and/or more continues, or something like that.
You know, if you want more accurate answers, check the game's guides at gamefaqs.
My questions are:
1.- As I refuse to play this great game emulated, when is going to be released in Europe? Other games published by Atlus had their proper European release, Meda(igual)Bots, Super Dodgeball...
2.- Should I pick the Japanese release along with Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari? Ok, River City Ransom was a cult following game, but changing Downtown to River again they are going to ruin the Kuniokun saga one more time! Super Dodgeball/Bakunetsu Dodgeball Fighters could have been easyly a Kuniokun game, but now that they are starting doing Kuniokun games, Kunio's identity is going to be lost again in the US and Europe. What if they start doing new games instead of remakes? If the trend continues like this, they surely would stay as Japan releases only...
3.- Back to the topic: Wasn't technically possible to play the 2 Player Mode with just one cart? Super Dodgeball suffered from that too. I don't know aybody ready to buy the game for playing the Vs Mode, my friends are not up to Dodgeball! Super Dodgeball was really cool and I had a great but short time playing it...

RCR was pushed back to April for US... and the RCR Japanese equivalent and DDA JPN comes out in March. After DDA, I definitely want to see what RCR is about.
Elbow punch is performed by pressing punch and block at the same time. The move is still decent... it lingers and knocks down enemies a good percentage of the time if they are behind you. Sometimes, they'll even walk into it if they're slightly out of range of the elbow.
The elbow punch move is not recommended when you're surrounded front and back, though. The new "THE MOVE" would be the cyclone spin kick, since it hits on both sides, covers a lot of ground (it not only hits to the left and right of you, but it also hits slightly above and below your character's plane of attack) and gets you out of crowded situations. If you can master the use of the cyclone, you will be able to last quite a while in 1P mode as well as survival. It's invaluabble on top of the truck in Stage 4... where you can safely knock off enemies off the right side of the truck bed while keeping from getting knocked off yourself.
Toxico: I'm not sure what you mean by air-grab... especially since I didn't spend much time with DD3. Can you explain?
herbiesanchez: The stomp, the down + kick attack when they are in crouch stun and the open stances after certain moves are total homages to Bruce Lee. I'm very happy they did all of that, especially since the Lee brothers are basically using his art.

Hey Peoples,
The bug I found was that if Jimmy or Billy picks up the boulder before climbing the stone ladder, (I think in Mission 5) they will just lift the boulder without throwing it before climbing it. I have twice tried this and it pretty much is a consistent bug.
I really like this game, I think it's a vast improvement compared to the original, but I like both old and new. I even ordered the original for Genesis for 5 bucks, (I think this is the closest of the original I can get).
I really noticed that some of the moves like the severe beatings on the ground, the "hurricane kick" were some of the moves from the past games on the Nintendo 8-bit.
What I really found funny was that your opponent can block. The toughest guys to beat are the MIB guys because they move too fast. I find that this game was supposed to be a "Twin" Houkto No Ken Game without all the blood and stuff.
I really like the fact you can carry on your weapons and drop them throughout the levels of the game, because you could have 5 or 6 weapons or arsenals at your disposal.
My favorite weapon to use is the Bludgeon and the long sticks. I find those most effective. I love the boulders because they take off the most energy, and the barrels.
I can't compare a brawler like this compared to any other game. I do like "Final Fight" too, but I would really have to honestly say that "Double Dragon" was my all time favorite 2-D brawler game which 14 years ago. There's not a game today that I think can surpass this. I even found that the characters were so ugly (like Abobo that's grotesquely out of proportion, and all the trailer-trash lowlife gang members) and funny-looking, it added to the amusement of the game.
I love all the run-jumps in this game it's like like guy doing a run kick!! Kakoii!
I really like this game a lot. I am still hooked on it. I felt that other game companies tried to make clones, but Double Dragon is still "the bomb". Nothing can compare to the awesomeness of this product.
I can't beat the game with one quarter like I used to when I was a kid playing that at 7-11 after school, but I am truly satisfied with this product.
Cheers,
Suushi ^_^
