Through the Options, then single-player through the modern emulation of a 1991 Konami arcade beat-em-up in Arcade Archives Vendetta on PS4--2P JP cabinet mode, ie "Crime Fighters 2"--as Sledge!
 
Vendetta, or Crime Fighters 2, goes to some pains to improve upon most of the weaker points of its prequel (Crime Fighters--see entry 1465)! There are four different playable characters, and it isn't really hard to hit stuff now--except with Sledge's ground attack, which was still really picky about exactly where I stood in relation to the downed opponent; couple that with them still having the ability to rise and attack immediately, without warning, and trying a ground attack can really get you busted up pretty bad. : P But you can actually hit multiple opponents on the ground at once--in the first game, you could never hit more than one opponent at a time, with any sort of attack!
 
On the other hand, enemies with guns will just shoot you as you lay on the ground. = ooo And they can shoot as soon as they get up (41:41), for quite the surprise! ; P
 
There's tons of stuff to pick up and blow up! Enemies (especially the pyromaniac flashers) will blow each other up; game gets wild. Hitting baddies with a spiked bat splats them against the back wall, just like one of the toughs in the prequel was always doing to you.

Apparently the original Japanese version has street punks made to look like stereotypical gay men in leather in about the 2nd screen of stage 3 -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVZrAp-T5fA ; look like -- ~ 31:44 of my video -- they've been replaced here by generic punks.
