Streets of Rage 2/Gameplay

Notes:
 * You will automatically grab an opponent if you are close enough. Once you are holding him you can use different attacks, which do a lot more damage than normal attacks.
 * There is no limit on the number of times you can use a special attack. However, using these attacks drains your Life gauge. A stationary attack only drains your life if you hit an enemy with it, a directed special attack always drains your life. If you are low on life you will not be able to use your special attacks.
 * Max does not have the moves "Power throw" and "Flurry 2". This is compensated by the fact that he is the strongest character and so the moves he has do more damage. "Atomic drop", his "Super slam", is the most powerful move in the game.
 * Executing a move for which you have to grab your opponent will make you drop your weapon if you are holding one.
