Electra (エレクトラ, Erekutora) is an enemy from Streets of Rage 2 and Streets of Rage 3. She serves as a replacement and counterpart for Nora, from the original Streets of Rage.
Overview[]
In Streets of Rage 2, Electra is a blonde woman clad in a leotard, pantyhose and over knee boots. Her design is notable as she wears an electric whip attached to a prosthetic arm. In her first appearance, in Stage 1, Electra can be first found singing at Barbon's bar, serving as a mini boss before facing him.
In Bare Knuckle III, her costume is similar to her Streets of Rage 2 counterpart, but with an added garter belt. However, in the north American release of Streets of Rage 3, her outfit was changed due to censorship, with the leotard being changed to a miniskirt, and a red leather jacket now covering her torso.
Streets of Rage 2[]
Electra is the second mini-boss of Stage 1, She is faced at Barbon's Bar. When the player approaches, she throws off her shawl, exposing her whip and fighting outfit. Electra also discards her fake hand, fitting her electric whip instead. Her moveset is widely expanded from her counterpart, Nora, being able to block air attacks with her whip attacks and performing a flying kick with her high heels. On higher difficult settings, her longer range attack is an electric whip which will electrocute players who fall victim.
Enemies based on her will appears at certain points of the adventure, starting at Stage 3. They have less health, but are more aggresive.
Streets of Rage 3[]
A seemingly different Electra reappears in Streets of Rage 3, lacking a prosthetic arm, She's firstly fought before the fight against Shiva, along with other goons and a similar enemy called Lorena. Her means to attack are a 2-hit whip attack and a electric shock with her whip. She can perform a high jump and an evassive backwards jump, but does not possess the flying kick from Streets of Rage 2. Much like Nora, she lies on the floor after a knockdown, unable to be harmed until the player moves away. Additionally, if the player grab her from the front for too long, she will break free with a whip attack.
The Electra in 3 is noticeably larger than the 171cm tall Garnet, and also much taller than she is in the second game.
