How to unlock the Perfect Boss achievement in Streets of Rage 2 - Definitive Guide

try and use the infinite punch method, its genius! basically instead of mashing on the X button and performing a chain combo that leads to them falling down, hit the X button once, wait a sec, then repeat. the bad guy stays in the same spot, doesnt have time to pull off a hit, and you can drain his health with one chain of simple punches. Genius!

Just beat the boss in the rain at the end of level 1 without dying either before you get to him or during the fight - make sure the difficulty setting is on easy if your struggling!

I recommend playing on very easy difficulty but saving the game prior to the battle and each time you successfully attack the boss. As soon as you approach the boss on the first level (Barbon) save the game. You can edge forward just before you reach him so the other enemies come towards you without triggering the boss. That way you can dispose of them before the boss fight. Again, save frequently so you can reload if you lose too much health.

Barbon is trivial on easy difficulties, but could be a bit tricky on higher ones. Just try and get rid of his goons before he rips off his shirt. Jump kicks and directional specials are a good way to take him down quickly.

Here's a few points to remember:

  • Barbon has a throwing move and he's not shy on using it on higher difficulties. There's an easy counter; if you are thrown by any enemy, simply hold up and jump while in the air until you land, and you'll be on your feet with no damage.
  • Barbon is an opportunistic fighter; he'll hang back for a little bit, and then rush in for a quick combo. You can be faster on the punch when he comes in, but specials are more reliable, and Offensive Specials hurt even more.
  • Approach slowly when you're about to face him to trigger his minions first. They're not too much trouble, but it always helps to keep the battlefield clean of distractions.
  • Don't forget the chicken in the trash bin if you're in trouble.
