Bare Knuckle 3 (Streets of Rage 3)
So today, I decided to play again this epic game and show some secret characters from it.
By default player can choose 4 available characters: Axel, Blaze, Sammy and Dr. Zan
but what player doesn't know is that there are 3 locked but playable characters (Bosses) in this game.
- Gay Ash, the 1st Boss you encounter at the docks.
- Kangaroo Roo (JP Victy), a Boss you encounter in the city, controlled by guy from zoo with a whip.
- Shiva the martial artist a Boss you encounter before subway and/or when you fail to save General and you are left with "Bad ending".
all 3 cannot use/pick up any weapons, but do have Special move(s) included, the only partial made character is gay Ash as he uses same Attack move as Special (special is just pimped up version) and can't attack in air, he also uses Blaze sounds when charging up+attack, dying and using Special move.
How to get them:
Easy way: I've already done dirty job for you, download this archive which already includes Japanese version of game and unlocked characters (done in Gens // difficulty-easy).
Why Japanese version you ask? - because European was butchered up - read censored and many things taken out including gay Ash, not to mention how they changed appearance and sounds of some main characters...
Story was also totaly changed... Trust me JP version is best...
... you can read more on Wiki
Hard way:
* gay Ash - after you kill him hold A button until next scene/level, then die until you waste all your lives, then choose Continue and Ash will appear in character selection list
* Kangaroo Roo/Victy - when you encounter Kangaroo and zoo guy with a whip, only kill the zoo guy who controls Kangaroo, when he dies Kangaroo will be free and walk away, now die wasting all your lives, then choose Continue and Victy(Roo) will appear in character list OR instead dying, finish the game and Roo/Victy will appear as selectable character on main list, like this:
* Shiva - quite simmiliar way as getting gay Ash, you fight Shiva and beat him, then hold B button until next scene/level, then you die all over again...
Take it like a man !!!
- Shiva should be now on the character list when you hit Continue.
Some analysis:
Anal ysis is rectal... just joking :P
Lets analyse the hidden characters...
* gay Ash
As silly as it is he is most powerful character in game, seriously, you can kill Boss with 2-4 Special attack hits with this guy, most clear example, in Easy mode when fighting robot Axel, Ash kills him with only 2 Specials used.
So as being so powerful it makes it quite boring player to play with, game ends too fast, but it sure is funny to see him dance and giggle around in his panties.
Being incomplete character he can't do as much as others unlockables, he only has one hit animation which is also used as Special hit and he uses Blaze sounds.
he can: jump, run, hit and back-hit
he can't: hit in air, hold an enemy, pick a weapon(s), be straight :)
* kangaroo Victy/Roo
This one is my favorite, he is cute and devastating, has 2 Special moves, type 1 is backflipping (something like Sonic the Hedgehog), type 2 is spinning in circle like tornado while kicking with his feet everyone around, another great move is rush/run attack where he slides on the ground on his head while hitting everyone in line with his ass.
Has great combo moves (if executed correctly), has full hit animations, has his own sounds, and is SO CUTE !!!
he can: everything that normal characters can EXCEPT picking up/using a weapon
* Shiva
This one is both strong and fast hitting character, to me boring but some people might find him interesting...
He's karate man thats all :P
Has good Special move when executed on right spot which is flipping kick, has his own sounds and full hit animations.
he can: everything that normal characters can EXCEPT picking up/using a weapon
Some screenies:
ahahahah dance bitch !
and last but not least ... when game is properly finished we get some nice screens
some very sexy screens
-------------------------------------------- IF --------------------------------------------
if bad ending is used, the player goes through alternative route outside the White House and meets Shiva
end screen also differs, as Shiva refuses to say where Mr.X is and Dr.Zan promises he will find him
