Rocky Bear, more commonly known as "R. Bear," is one of the main bosses in Streets of Rage 2.
Details[]
Rocky Bear appears as a bald, overweight boxer wearing suspenders. He may look out of shape, but he's quicker than his physique suggests.
Rocky is arguably the most difficult boss in the second game, excluding Shiva and Mr. X. His arsenal is very dangerous to fight, hard to counter, and his considerable reach keeps enemies on the defensive. His punches come out quickly, including a quick jab-cross combo, a rushing short uppercut, or a jumping uppercut (anti-air). In a clinch, his headbutts-body blows combination will eventually cause serious damage. He even has a long-range homing attack, which is only briefly humorous if it does not connect with your face.
Holding him from behind for too long will have Rocky elbow the player and knock them down.
He appears in:
- Level 5 (R.Bear) - Main Boss. Appears at the 3rd part. The boss music will play around 2/3s of the way of that section, but the player will fight a wide variety of enemies before getting to him in the same clock span. In mania mode, time can run out if the player didn't lose a life and take too long.
- Level 8 (Bear Jr.). Unlike most returning bosses, he is not a part of the Boss Gauntlet, being faced just before the elevator area.
- Streets of Rage 4 - Mania+ level 3 and survival mode.
