Crime Fighters 2 (Japan, 2 Players ver. P)

Mastering Crime Fighters 2 (Japan, 2 Players ver. P) requires a mix of individual mechanical skill and coordinated teamwork with your co-op partner. First, familiarize yourself with the core controls: use the 8-way joystick to move, press the A button for standard light and heavy attacks, B to jump, and press A+B at the same time to trigger a screen-clearing special attack that consumes 10% of your health to knock back all nearby enemies and break out of combos. For co-op play, always split your positioning when facing groups of 4 or more enemies: one player draws aggro from front-facing foes, while the other circles behind to land back attacks, which deal 30% more damage in this P revision. Avoid standing on the same horizontal line as your partner, as this will cause you to get hit by the same enemy range attacks and waste health unnecessarily. When it comes to weapons, prioritize picking up metal baseball bats dropped by large biker thugs first: they have 15 full uses, deal double the damage of bare-knuckle attacks, and have a wide swing radius that can hit up to 3 enemies at once. Only use glass bottles or disposable weapons if you have no other option, as they break after a single hit and leave you exposed to counterattacks. For key stage encounters: the Stage 2 subway boss will charge at you repeatedly, so stay on the upper platform to dodge his rushes, then land 3 quick hits before he recovers. For the Stage 4 warehouse boss, throw crates at him from a distance first to wear down half his health before he pulls out his shotgun. Always break open vending machines and trash cans before entering boss fights to collect hidden hot dogs and soda cans that restore health, as this version does not refill your health bar between stages. Save your special attacks exclusively for situations where you are surrounded by 3 or more enemies, as wasting them on single foes will leave you vulnerable in the high-difficulty final two stages.
