S-Rank - Hard Difficulty - Stage 7 - Skytrain - Maniac Trophy - Streets of Rage 4

To the point and easy to follow guide to get an S-Rank on Hard Difficulty in Stage 7 - Skytrain in Streets of Rage 4.

Getting an S-Rank on Hard Difficulty in all Stages is required for the Maniac Trophy.

The main goal is trying to get as much combo points as possible.
Unlike the other stages there are no objects to hit or food or money that can be picked up.
To only way to extend the combo timer is when enemies are hitting each other.
Or when enemies are hit by the traffic lights.
Instead of jumping over the traffic lights you can also use your Defensive Special by pressing triangle.
There are three waves of enemies, each wave needs to be one combo.
So you will get three combos in total: Amazing, Sick and Amazing.
When you have full health and eat food you will gain a point bonus.
An apple will reward 300 points and a chicken will reward 1000 points.
The boss doesn't have to go perfect as long as you did the rest correctly.
