You know it's always a good time watching my favorite video game trilogy but I always wondered if it was possible to beat one of them on the highest difficulty without taking damage sure sure some say that's nearly impossible but with the right direction I firmly believe it's possible
SoR1 - technically possible, if you play extremely careful and perfectly execute boss strats. SoR2 - probably impossible to do, especially so on Mania. This specific game's combat doesn't revolve around avoiding damage, it's instead a part of it. You're constantly getting pecked by enemies, and there's nothing you can do about it 50% of the time. It just happens, and you gotta deal with it. Again, especially so on Mania. SoR3 - it depends. Does "self damage" from the special meter count as taking damage? If we don't count that, and the goal is avoiding damage purely from the enemies - it might be possible to do. But if the goal is having perfectly clean healthbar (which excludes using special several times in a row if needed) - probably not possible. And at that point, excluding the special to such degree is just playing the game wrong.
Well for streets of rage 3 as long as the damage isn't direct then it shouldn't be a problem that all depends on how you want to do it for streets of rage 2 I mostly would agree with that but mastering and utilizing the character you use however that wouldn't deny the perfect execution and highly exceptional skill and incredibly extensive practice required now for streets of rage 1 I generally think as long as you can exploit the games mechanics like using blaze I think that would be possible
