Walkthrough

1
Stage 1-2: You'll encounter the first Jay. A knife is available under a crate to throw at him. SOR3 Blaze can use Hishousouzan or Chou Reppa Dan against the Jay's Flying Kick. SOR2 Blaze should use Hishousouzan, not Elbow Strike. SOR4 Blaze should use Rekkaken against the Flying Kick. Watch out for electric wires.
2
Stage 1-3: This stage introduces Kevin (Jay). Bring a weapon to throw at the boss, Diva.

Boss: Diva

Stats / Weaknesses:

Diva has an electric area-of-effect attack that acts as a barrier, signaled by her raising her snake. She has armor during this attack.
She uses a long-range snake zap for keep-away, combo finishing, or anti-air.
She performs a series of kicks that can neutralize combos or throws, potentially launching you into the air and then zapping you with her snake.
Characters with long reach, like SOR1 Blaze, are less affected by her kicks due to their short range.
Throwing weapons or enemies at Diva deals extra damage.

Phases:

Initial Phase: Use hit-and-run tactics with SOR1 Blaze. For SOR2 Blaze, use Basic Combo to Blitz (to Star Move), Basic Combo to Star Move, or Basic Combo-to-Spinning Drive-to-Aerial Grab (to Star Move). For SOR3 Blaze, use Basic Combo-to-Hishousouzan-to-Special (to Star Move) or Basic Combo-to-Chou Reppa Dan-to-Spirit Knife-to-Defensive Special (to Star Move). For SOR4 Blaze, use Basic Combo-to-Hishousouzan-to-Special (to Star Move) or Basic Combo-to-Rekkaken (to Star Move). Linking attacks is easiest with SOR3 Blaze; others may require proximity to a wall.
Half Health: Diva uses an improved area-of-effect attack covering a larger area and summons more goons. Use the summoned enemies and their weapons against her, but be wary of her Kick-Snake combo while distracted.

Strategy:

When Diva is flashing white and not being hit-stunned, she is preparing her Area of Effect attack. Jump or move away.
When she winds back her snake, move out of the way.
The mooks can be used against Diva by throwing them or their weapons at her.
SOR3 Blaze can use Weapon Charge to deal with mooks.

Stage 2 - Police District

Stage 2-1: Introduces Cops (Ferrocio, Dick, Barney) and Riot Cops (Murphy). Barney is particularly dangerous with a fast grab. Jump kicks are effective for knocking him down and disarming him.

Blitzes vs. Cops:

SOR2 Blaze: Avoid Elbow Smash on Dick, Lou, and Barney; use Hishousouzan, jump kicks, or Basic Combo-to-Elbow Smash.
SOR3 Blaze: Both Blitzes work against Cop grabs.
SOR4 Blaze: Both Blitzes work against Cop grabs.

Taser Use: After defeating Barney, use his taser on the nearby arcade machine to fight Jack.

Bonus Stages: Entering bonus stages with full health is recommended. Winning grants an extra Star and contributes to an extra life, with health restored. Losing does not count the life lost against your main game total.
