Streets of Rage 3

Line 44:

There are three [[secret character]]s that can be unlocked and then selected when the player uses a continue. One of them is only available in the Japanese version, ''Bare Knuckle 3''. All the secret characters are unable to pick up and use weapons. In order of appearance:

* '''Ash''' (Japanese ~~releases~~ only) is a [[stereotype|stereotypical]] homosexual minion of Mr. X's organization. Ash was cut from the U.S./European ''Streets of Rage 3'' because he was stereotypically homosexual, and therefore seen as possibly offensive. He is a very tall man who wears tight green pants, a necklace depicting the [[female]] symbol, and a purple waistcoat. He strikes effeminate poses, such as covering his mouth while laughing girlishly with his knees bent inward. His attacks consist mainly of grabbing and throwing his opponents. When defeated, he cries. As soon as he is defeated, hold the 'A' button until the next scene begins to unlock him. Ash can also be unlocked in the U.S. and European versions by using a [[Game Genie]] code. Unlocked to gameplay, Ash has the most powerful punches, defeating enemies easier than the other playable characters (even Shiva ~~and Roo~~, and has a different colour palette. He uses the same voice samples as Blaze. He first appears in the second part of Round 1-2. He captains a speedboat and drops off more enemies to fight as you make your way across the dock. If you reach the end, he will fight you. His boss music is very different from any others. In the U.S version of the game, Shiva drives the boat, and instead of fighting him he is replaced with another Donovan enemy. He cannot hold weapons.

* '''Shiva''', another one of the main bad guys, is also unlockable. As soon as he is defeated in the first level, hold the 'B' button until Round 2 begins to unlock him. Even though he has a portrait in a cutscene it is not used when unlocked (on the character select screen and at the end of the stages). His moveset as playable is incomplete compared to the one he has as an opponent. As a playable character (often unlocked), Shiva has the fastest punches and attacks of every character, also the longest reach. He combines voice samples from Axel Stone character with others of his own. He cannot hold weapons.
