Boss rush is absolutely miserable
Made me realise how horrendous to fight most of the bosses are in this game. Especially the mother ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Commissioner who is extremely tedious to fight alone, but is completely broken when paired with Estal...and this is like halfway through boss rush. It was annoying in the main game too but at least there you had 2+ lives assuming you played the stage well. In boss rush, you get 0 and don't seem to be able to earn any more. Are the Commissioners attacks even avoidable for anyone besides Cherry?

Note to future developers who might be new to making games: giving all bosses Super Armor is the lazy way of making bosses somewhat challenging.
Also, if I'm supposed to be dodging certain attacks, you might want to put dashing and rolling back into the game.

I just got my ass served back to me on a silver platter by the Commissioner, on Normal difficulty. I played as Blaze. I'll say this... the 'lack' of running in the game (at least for Blaze anyway) was actually NOT a problem for me. Until the Commissioner.

The main problem is there's no way for me to 'catch up' to him. When he moonwalks away from me, he's doing it at about 3x my walking speed, and my only way to catch up to him is to do my special move in the air (the jump kick move), that's about it. Then I have to deal with the other cops in the room.

Fighting this boss solo is quite the frustrating experience. I had no issues until that point so... I'll try again later, but for now it's a turn off and I'll just take a break. It's a badly-designed boss. I had no problems with the previous two mini bosses (the robot guy and the Diva girl, those two were just fine to fight).

The armor thing is really annoying. Even random enemies have it too so it's all over the place. It should be like fighting Jet in the old games where he dashes at you and if you time it right you can punch him out of it or get hit. That is more fun to me.

The game is seriously made for "CO-OP" that is why the Cops are cooperating to beat you :3.

"Estel doesn't have hair physics, or her braid is atached to the vest"

Boss rush needs a revamp and batlle mode need larger arenas and BOSS characters. :torielsad:

I think thats just it. I think this game was designed to be played multiplayer and they didn't adjust the difficulty for a solo playthrough.
