How to unlock Roo in Streets of Rage 4 and his secret clown achievement

Whereas I used to be enjoying Survival mode in my preview construct of Streets of Rage 4 – Mr. X Nightmare, I unlocked a pack of idea artwork. Squirreled away between hand-drawn pictures of the solid, I noticed a creative rendering of Roo, a hidden character from the third recreation. Naturally, I puzzled if Dotemu managed to sneak on this pugilist kangaroo as a hidden character. Properly, seems I used to be proper on the cash. Not solely is Roo an unlockable character, however the neighborhood managed to determine find out how to entry him inside hours of the DLC going stay. This simply goes to point out that it is best to by no means doubt a gaggle of people that wish to play as a boxing kangaroo. Right here’s find out how to unlock Roo within the Streets of Rage 4, in addition to his secret clown achievement.

To unlock this newest fighter is a straightforward process. I consider you want the DLC, as I don’t suppose he got here within the free replace. When in the primary menu of the sport, spotlight Story on the prime of the listing. Subsequent, maintain up and the assault button on the identical time. You may’t do one earlier than the opposite, otherwise you’ll find yourself at Exit. Subsequent, hit the choices (or begin) button. Head into any recreation mode of your selecting, and an Icon for Roo is out there proper above Streets of Rage 3 Shiva.

Sure, sadly, you solely get the SoR 3 model of Roo. So far as I do know, Dotemu and crew haven’t modernized the large man. Nevertheless, simply having him right here, lastly, in Streets of Rage 4 is fairly wonderful. He’s as chances are you’ll bear in mind: a brown kangaroo with brilliant purple boxing gloves and blue boxing trunks. Roo (or Victy as he was in any other case recognized) was an unwilling mini-boss in Streets of Rage 3 alongside along with his handler, Danch. When he was defeated, you would play as Roo within the character choose space of the proceed possibility.

My boy is again.

It’s a freaking clown fiesta

When you unlock Roo in Streets of Rage 4, you should utilize him in any mode. And that features Survival. As soon as once more proving that Dotemu and Sega have charged too little for this large DLC, Roo additionally will get his personal set of 5 unlockable strikes by means of Survival mode.

I’ve performed Roo within the recreation for a short time forward of this text. He’s a combo fan’s dream, with a towards particular that hits a staggering 20 occasions (no, actually). I used to be pulling in 100-hit combos casually in my runs with Roo. He’s not bodily robust, however his combo potential is out of this world, permitting you to stun lock your foes with ease. Additionally, his again assault shouldn’t be ignored. Not solely does it lengthen far past is tiny jab, nevertheless it strikes him again barely. Tapping it permits you to combo, and retains enemies with a protracted attain at bay.

Roo’s star transfer is…one thing. He summons his outdated handler Danch, a creepy clown with a whip. Danch is available in as an NPC, following Roo for a surprisingly prolonged period of time whereas whipping enemies. Roo additionally has a secret clown achievement tied to his star transfer. If you happen to summon Danch 3 times, you unlock Clown Wars (Lead a military of three clowns). If you wish to get it rapidly, begin up a stage, pause, and select retry with help. Choose the choice that offers you two additional stars, and spam away.

(Please don’t) Ship within the clowns.

What different secrets and techniques stay?

Mr. X Nightmare solely launched yesterday, however I ponder what different secrets and techniques Dotemu could have added. There’s hypothesis that the opposite secret character is Shiva from Streets of Rage 2. Dotemu did tweet out a gif exhibiting off SoR 2 Shiva zipping round. Nevertheless, judging by the way it appears to be like (and the way Estel simply awkwardly stands there), I’m going to say it’s only a joke. However who is aware of if the developer was teasing one thing. With Roo’s inclusion, Mr. X Nightmare brings 4 playable characters (as long as he’s a part of the DLC, after all). This brings the entire to 21 characters from throughout the historical past of the franchise. Yet another couldn’t damage, proper?

If we hear about every other secrets and techniques hidden away on this incredible DLC, we’ll let you understand.
