Dashing up and down was not needed. Notice it didn't make a return in 4 but I doubt anything I saw will convince the two of you and you're most likely the same guy and OP.

4 also didn't have running for most characters. The dodging up and down was a great addition to me.

The western version got fucked over in the localization process. Its best to play the Japanese version with an English patch.

hey man
>HOW DO I START A THREAD : )?
just fucking talk about literally any retro game the thread will gain traction. the board is slow moving as fuck, so you don't have to use thread templates or bait to get a good thread going, these things only end up inciting flame wars anyway, so it's pretty nice to just be like "game thread"

I don't mind the extra mechanics, I just feel the stages/setpieces and enemy lineup were uninteresting in comparison to the second game.

Plus, the western version's difficulty tweaks were done with good intentions but with absolutely no proper insight about design and balance; they make an already bland game boring to boot.

Music sure but 3 is way better than 2 in gameplay and graphics.

>> No.8202881

SoR2 made it feel more like you were on a 3d stage walking around buildings and such. I think the sprites were bigger too, but that might not be true. SoR3 had great music though and a kangaroo.

the US version was a downgrade because americans are dumb. leave it to eagleland to turn the best game in the series into the worst

The European version got the same downgrade it wasn't just the US version.

>> No.8204262

Just finished playing this game again. This time the proper Japanese version. Better game without the bullshit American difficulty. Overall this game is great.

+ probably the best playing SOR game
+ some songs are pretty damn fire
+ controls feel tight and responsive mostly

- soundtrack is definitely not as good as the previous games overall
- some levels and enemies don't feel as fun as they should be
- that final boss is absolute fucking shit
