Streets of Rage 2: Easy Shiva fight with Max on Mania

I discovered a hilariously easy way to defeat Shiva with Max on Mania difficulty. This method is nowhere as fast as the vastly superior Atomic Drop loop, but it is incredibly safe, and still notably faster than the bait and slide loop.

The practical application of this technique lies primarily in netplay. Using the Atomic Drop loop on Shiva is incredibly difficult while one plays alone, but online with input delay and lag it's practically suicide. The loop displayed in this video is a possible alternative in laggy situations.

Do you know any good Axel strats on Mania? I'm planning on trying to upload a playthrough of this but all I do is get devastated in Mania, especially on R.Bear.

Either way, you rule. It'd be cool to see you run through this game.

@XBladenoJutsu Yeah, Axel is my sub character. He's actually the easiest character to go through Mania with.

Aw, hell! You've now destroyed the legend that was Shiva!

You win. Perfect!

I think the expression on Mr. X's face says it all.

Wow. That was awesome.

@XeroShinobi Crap. That just means I suck at the game. Looks like I have some work to do.
