Plan your next Streets of Fury EX session
Our guide breaks down each major component of Streets of Fury EX, offering observations that help you decide how to approach the game’s varied modes and multiplayer options without promising hidden bonuses.
01 / THE GUIDE
Comparing Co‑op vs. Versus
Note how the same move set feels different when supporting allies versus confronting opponents. Try the same character in both contexts to see which combos translate best to teamwork or disruption.
- Try pairing characters with complementary special moves to cover both ground and aerial threats.
- Observe each district’s enemy patterns; timing dodges can preserve health for later boss encounters.
02 / THE GUIDE
Optimizing Survival Runs
Track how many enemies you can clear before health drops. Adjust your use of furies and cancels to maximize damage per second while preserving stamina for later waves.
- Experiment with different character match‑ups to discover which combos disrupt opponents most effectively.
- Use the dodge mechanic to create space after a heavy attack, reducing the chance of retaliation.

03 / THE GUIDE
Speed‑Running Challenge Levels
Record the time it takes to finish a Challenge level using a single combo chain versus breaking it into smaller attacks. Compare the results to identify the most efficient rhythm.
- Prioritize crowd‑control specials early in each wave to thin enemy numbers quickly.
- Maintain a balanced use of attacks and dodges to avoid unnecessary health loss.
04 / THE GUIDE
Security Level Progression
Map which characters and modes unlock at each Security Level milestone. This helps plan which modes to prioritize if you aim to expand the roster quickly.
- Plan a route through the level that minimizes back‑tracking to save precious seconds.
- Practice chaining combos that deal high damage quickly to clear enemies faster.
05 / THE GUIDE
Controller Layout Tweaks
Experiment with how you use the gamepad's buttons for cancels and other moves to see how it impacts combo fluidity in both beat‑em‑up and versus play.
- Use a gamepad with analog sticks for smoother air‑combo inputs compared to digital controls.
- When playing locally, arrange the split‑screen layout to keep each player’s view unobstructed.
