** ''4'' had one with ''VideoGame/BattleToads2020''. Both games were [[SequelGap long-awaited sequels]] to classic beat 'em ups by new studios released in 2020, featuring bright, cartoonish, high-definition 2D graphics. There was also a minor one with ''The [=TakeOver=]'', another ''SOR''-inspired urban beat 'em up using pre-rendered 3D models. Overall, ''4'' was better-received, though ''The [=TakeOver=]'' clearly [[SpiritualSuccessor paying homage]] to ''SOR'' (to the point of getting Creator/YuzoKoshiro himself on board to compose the Stage 1 theme) and being in development long before ''4'' was officially announced[[labelnote:*]]while the final release date of ''The [=TakeOver=]'' (November 2019) was only a few months before that of ''Streets of Rage 4'' (April 2020), its earliest builds date back to 2016 whereas ''[=SOR4=]'' was first revealed in August 2018[[/labelnote]] meant most who played it and ''[=SOR4=]'' [[FriendlyFandoms ultimately enjoyed both games]].

* WordOfGod: For the series' 30th anniversary in 2021, Creator/YuzoKoshiro [[https://twitter.com/yuzokoshiro/status/1422211630868295680 posted on Twitter]] that Axel's uppercut move [[InconsistentSpelling is supposed to be named Ground Upper]], not Grand Upper as often assumed and spelled in the old American manuals, for how he drags his fist along the ground. ''Sonic Gems Collection'' actually had it spelled right. With the ''Mr. X Nightmare'' DLC in ''4'' introducing alternate special moves for the cast and providing names for the standard ones, [[FlipFlopOfGod however]], it appears that the official spelling is still Grand Upper.
