Double Dragon/Final Fight style game

I’m sure everybody’s familiar with the classic, 2D side-scrolling beat-em-up games of the 80s and early 90s… One quick question before I begin:

should I use the platform game tutorials, or is there a specific tutorial I should study which focuses on fighting games? I don’t need anything overly complex - just the standard punch/kick attacks, about ten different (respawning) enemies plus bosses at the end of each level… basically, exactly like Double Dragon

thank you very much in advance! I’d grately appreciate a push in the right direction before I head down a dead-end and concentrate some something completely off-course… :beer:
