Cherry is Beauty to Blaze’s Brains and Estel’s Brawn.
To fit the Beauty, Brains, and Brawn trope, Cherry Hunter would lack the credentials of Brains and Brawn... credentials that Defacto Leader Blaze, and Brawn Hilda Estel have respectively.

In Streets of Rage 4, Shiva is holding back during his boss battle.
Shiva puts up a stiff challenge but fights quite a bit differently than he does in 2 and 3, not using many of his most dangerous techniques from either and refusing to use his highly-damaging grapples from either - but if you're controlling him personally in the DLC, he's a nigh-unstoppable BEAST with numerous powerful techniques that he didn't even hint at in his boss fight. Has some justification when you think about it - He's cut off ties with the Syndicate and now sees Axel and company as more rivals than enemies, and could be viewing his boss fight as more of a test to make sure that after 10 years, his old foes still have what it takes to bring down the Y Twins.
