| Eddie "Skate" Hunter |
Skate has had some changes since Streets of Rage 2, notably the replacement of his corkscrew kick with a rolling punch attack (which is more useful but not as impressive). He is no longer the only character able to dash and is still far too weak for the average Streets of Rage player. See Skate's Bare Knuckle 3 manual move list here. Thanks to Nestor J. Galeano for the scans.

| Dr. Zan |
Zan is a bizarre character, who has Max's strength but is able to vault over opponents. His animation is very strange; obviously the programmers wanted him to appear robotic in motion, but the overall effect is of sub-standard animation. Matters aren't help by the fact that some of his animations are re-used (compare his dropping air attack to his team attack animation) and that his upgraded blitz attacks have no imagination (they are simply his charge attack double or tripled). However, things aren't all bad - his weapons usage is interesting, as weapons turn into a glowing ball of energy (which means he is equally competent with each weapon) that can be thrown. See Zan's Bare Knuckle 3 manual move list here. Thanks to Nestor J. Galeano for the scans.

Super Slam: Overhead throw. Get Zan behind an enemy and press Button B to shake an enemy then throw him to the floor.

| Roo |
The first secret character is Roo, the fighting kangaroo. Like the others he is unable to wield weapons, but has the most developed animation and moves of the 3 secret characters. |
| Shiva |
Shiva is the second secret character. Like Roo & Ash he cannot use weapons, but who wants to anyway when you've got Shiva's moves? Although his animation and moves are limited because he is essentially only a boss character, he is great fun to play. However, he is actually too strong in my opinion, as using him takes away any challenge in completing the game. |
| Ash |
Ash is normally found only in Bare Knuckle 3. He cannot wield weapons and has very few attacks. He is amazingly quick and, like Shiva, is far too strong to use in a normal game. |
Dashing Bare Knuckle - X, F, F
