Streets of Rage 2X - Raven Playthrough

Well... I'm just gonna keep on doing this until I've cleared at least one route with every single character in Rebellion Mode, right? Maybe. But Raven here is a solid character. While he cannot jump, he has the ability to block, and the attacks he does have are devastating, and can be made even more painful in combos. His C attack starts with a 6 damage kick, which he can do twice, and if one manages to "Final Combination" it, it offers more points per hit than a lot of the other mid-ranking enemies can, allowing for a quicker way to get extends. Not like one will need it, anyway, as he has a powerful ender, that does 12, then 24 damage. Charged/hotbutton enders make good pokes against enemies, as well as a reliable juggle tool. His A is an alternate anti-air version of the last hit, making it a viable combo ender and juggling tool. His most devastating attacks, however, are his grab attack and his Forward+A. The Forward+A is a brutal jumping knee attack that does 48 damage and knocks down, and has good potential as a juggle-finishing tool, especially if you link it out of a combo attack. His grab attack is an elbow and knee smash for 24 damage, which can be done thrice in a row, then linked into normals. With that said, I found his best B&B is to use his grab atttack thrice, then his C combo, then cancel his A out of the first hit of his last C. Linking it into his Forward+A can be even more devastating.
