The little things that make this game better...Easter Eggs

[BareknuckleRoo]

Yeah, the game balance (along with the plot) was utterly messed up when they localized Bare Knuckle III as Streets of Rage 3. Fewer difficulty options (significantly harder than BKIII due to enemies like electras doing 3x damage) meant it was harder to pick a level that made it playable for less skilled people. Don't think I even managed to beat the game when I was a kid. Special meter change (SoRR uses BKIII's special gauge life drain setting) also wrecks things and turns the whole late game into a special spam fest because of how little life you lose using a special on an empty gauge compared to letting an enemy hit you.

I'm pretty sure that Ash's "OOOOOOOOOOH!" before he fights you is one of Dragon's taunts from World Heroes.

Sounds similar, but it's not.
