BOSS RUSH

Ryu encounters grotesque guardians on his USA adventure

Round 1: Sumo

Having smashed up the Viking Pub, king-size sumo guy will try to slap and lunge you to death. He’s supported by several common thugs who complicate matters.

How To beat Them: defeat the thugs first, then concentrate on the boss. The standard punch-kick combo works well on him and he’s susceptible to neck throws. Round 3: Claw brothers

Is that some kind of cape-wearing iron giant? no it’s three urchins standings on one another’s shoulders like some kind of joke circus act. Watch out for their claws.

How To beat Them: Three-on-one is not easy, so jump around and use the neck throw whenever you can. dodge their deadly spin attacks by quickly darting up or down.

Round 5: THE Dragons return

How could the bosses from Round 2 be any more annoying? Bring them back, give them new costumes and them make them even tougher.

How To beat Them: This really is a Royal Rumble. Just keep spamming the neck throw on anything that moves and feeding in extra credits to see you through. Round 2: THE Dragons

This gurning tag team act will work together to take you down. If one grabs you he’ll shove you towards his pal who’ll smash you hard. Their annoyance factor is high.

How To beat Them: If you’re lucky, you’ll get a sword power-up just before or during the fight (try smashing their bikes). Failing that, keep moving and abusing the neck throw.

Round 4: Twin Sumo

Another oversized sumo battle, only this time there are two guys to take care of – and they can withstand more damage. A couple of regular enemies add to your woes.

How To beat Them: They may be stronger than before, but they’re still slow. use this to your advantage. Try and lead them into positions where it’s one-on-one. Round 6: bladedamus

The final boss lurks in a lair that’s wrong on multiple levels. When he’s not slashing you with his twin-swords he’ll toast you with his flaming dragon breath.

How To beat Them: There’s a sneaky trick. Jump up so that you land behind the boss, then unleash your combo. Keep repeating this and you’ll topple him in no time.
