In Streets of Rage 4, there are up to 17 characters to play as but only 4 of them are available from the start. The other characters are unlockable by playing through the Story Mode and increasing your Lifetime score. The Lifetime score is the accumulation of points that you earn by playing through each level.
The more points you earn, the more characters you can unlock. It is worth noting that you can start unlocking characters upon earning more than 200,000 points. The characters earned this way are classic characters from previous Street Of Rage games. Adam is the only other character that has a modern art style apart from the four starting characters.
