Honestly I'd use walky righty punch & fighty before I'd call them belt scrollers. I mean imagine finding some backwater rube who had never before even heard of vidya and you're tasked to describe video games to him. If you were to use the term "belt scroller" would they ever in a million years imagine that to mean a game where you punch people in the face? Fuck no they wouldn't.

To further add to the previous post, Technos' most relevant contributions to the genre were made pretty early on.

Renegade established the basic of the belt-scrolling formula with the addition of depth movement, move variety and health points for mooks at a time beat-'em-ups were strictly single-plane affair with simple move sets for the player. And then you have Double Dragon, with the addition of longer levels, usable weapons and 2P co-op.

But then they lost the beat-'em-up crown to Capcom and never quite recovered. Double Dragon 3 kinda sucked (although that was outsourced), Combatribes is a bit of an acquired taste and I don't think many people care about Shadow Force. I like their console output a bit, but I don't think many beat-'em-up enthusiasts care about straight-to-console entries in the genre.

Does it count as 1CC when the game doesn't have a conventional lives system and you only get one continue for the last two stages?

The best trick to the game is to let enemies approach from downwards and upwards rather than approach them forward. Then you spam your Cyclone Spin Kick. Repeat until they're dead.

Some more tips.

Not that I don't get what you mean, but that is kinda arbitrary since on some degree almost all beat'em ups that go beyond Final Fight are "hybrids". Similar types of moves and inputs just transition naturally between these sister genres.

What's the point of releasing the ROM set if it's not emulated yet?
