How to unlock the Imposters Need Not Apply achievement in Sega Vintage Collection: Streets of Rage - Definitive Guide
This achievement requires you to defeat the Stage 3 boss in Single player, as Axel. This can be done on any difficulty.
Next sentence is a bit of a spoiler so read on at your own risk.
The boss is a robot of Axel and you are required to defeat him as Axel. Boss is fairly straight forward, he uses all Axel's moves and is quite difficult to grab or use bareknuckle on. So you're best off hitting a wave of punches on him then retreating until your next opportunity. It's simple enough really if you do it on an easier difficulty.

Play as Axel, and play through until stage two, or use the level select cheat to start there. At the end you will encounter Break, who is Axel's double. This is a pretty straightforward boss fight as he just has Axel's moves so you won't need to dodge much, just attack until he is dead. Remember this will be easier if you use the Japanese ROM. This will unlock as soon as he is defeated.
