Is there any difference between the strengths of the three characters
in Golden Axe I & II? Does Tyris Flare have a weaker attack than say
Gilius the dwarf but stronger magic, or do all three hit for the same
amount of damage with their weapons?

their attacks are roughly the same in strength, though it does seem at
times tyris flare has to hit a bit more to finish someone off. the big
difference is animation (which involves reach) and speed.

the reason it blends a bit is because i usually used the powerful attack
moves that are pretty flat for each character. the "death from above"
impale (double tap run, jump, down+attack) and attack+jump backwards
attack are both very strong and the same for each character. since when
i play as tyris i use mostly those i find that there isn't much
difference in combat.

golden axe 2 is a bit different if i remember correctly. i think they
changed strength levels, but it's honestly been so long ago. should be
around the time when character differentials were popular, like streets
of rage 2 for example.

Is it just me or is the "death from above" impale attack a lot harder
to hit an enemy with in Golden Axe II? Half the time I seem to come
down on an enemy only to get sliced and diced by his sword.
