Capcom seriously needs to bring back Final Fight and gives us Final Fight 4. Especially with all those great Beat em up games we been getting as of late.

[@GreenTygur]

There was a leak that a new final fight was to come out in 2024 or 2025.

[@jamesbaxter2575]

Although it wasn't numbered as "4", Capcom did release "Final Fight Streetwise" for the original XBox and PS2.

[@Kudeghraw]

I think it is due for a live action movie. Who would play Mike? Who would play Andore?

[@joezar33]

​@@Kudeghrawhire a few WWE or AEW wrestlers , would be a slick casting.. now that I think about it, Kenny Omega would make a decent Axel 😅🤔

Almost 30 minutes worth of video to basically tell us that the Super Nintendo port wasn't all that great. I owned it, it may have been missing features, but it was a still a solid experience that I prefer to Streets of Rage. It was also an early title, some cut backs were to be expected.

[@joezar33]

Should see the fanmade 2024 Final Fight port on the Genesis/MD . Think Maki was added looks fantastic close to the orginal Arcade

[@glovedcop69]

12:26 I mean it got a little better by the 90s. Not sure how it is now. I love the CD audio of Final Fight CD.I wish there was a port that had the voices, music, and cut scenes from that game, but kept the graphics of the arcade game.

Speaking as a local, I would like to apologize for the bad experience you had visiting my city, and at the same time I feel for you. I don't care much for going outside myself. You don't know what kind of danger is out there.

Haha to be fair it just felt like the City I grew up in, London. I'm more than use to shitholes. I was expecting it to be a bit shiny though, considering other media glorifies the place so much!

[@io5644]

Leaps and bounds better than all other FF outtings, brimming with a charm games like SOR2 tried and failed to emulate, it is the very pinnacle of side scrollers set in an urban environment. I feel the street atmosphere in this game was matched only in the original Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting games. Oh and SF Alpha 1

[@io5644]

I'd love for there to be a new release in the series, 99.9% sure it would be lacklustre though.

[@alexojideagu]

Streets of rage 2 has much better gameplay. Although Final Fight has better graphics.

[@retroarcadefan]

Please drop the side bar magnification on non widescreen games. Very informative video. I didn't know that FF had the SF moniker at first. The strangest thing about that is that there are no SF characters in the game. Capcom made the right choice and one helluva great beatem up.

[@vultureguy33]

One of the best arcade games ever and still looks and plays great to this day.

[@BrimarBrimar-gv5lc]

I loved final fight as a kid, Mike Hagger looked like my dad on steroids 😂😂

[@Hatchyack]

I always wondered if Haggar not crossing over into Street Fighter just had to do with his moveset being too similar to Zangief's. Not that that's stopped them from making a dozen shotoclones but maybe it's harder to differentiate two gigantic pro wrestler guys who already share moves which they're both renowned for.

[@KenMasters.]

Haggar could've also been added to 3rd Strike, without Zangief. But that's still a no…

[@JONNYSORENSEN_AU]

Hes in backgrounds in sf games and in mvc, but yeah no solo main version. Closet second is Darun in SF ex+

[@joezar33]

If Cody the canon Mayor of Metro city , guess that means Mike Hagger a Retired Mayor and Pro Wrestler, why we don't see him ? 🤔

[@SonicFrake]

It's amazing how much better something can be when you don't know what you're missing. My parents got me this game along with a Super Nintendo for Christmas and I absolutely loved it. Little me never heard of Guy or Poison or anything about this game aside what my SNES told me and I was greatly satisfied with what I got.

[@allenniumfalcon]

Still a masterpiece ! Bring back Mike Haggar for SF6

[@youkai3785]

I think at this point on the timeline, Haggar would be retired from both city politics and street fighting.

[@allenniumfalcon]

@@youkai3785 There's a character called Oro who fights and he's over 120 years old. Nobody retires. Plus how many years has Sakura been a schoolgirl? yet they keep dragging her back each game for thirsty weirdos

[@mikerussell9075]

Wasn't Haggar in one of the Marvel v Capcom's?

[@stofopdenaald132]

As a kid we went to Croatia for the holiday. Autocamp Polari in Rovinj. Near the swimming pool they had a small arcade, and that's where I discovered this truly awesome game. Back home I had a Sega Master System and wasn't aware of the snes having a version of this game. Heck I was in my 20's when I found out. I would have given my left nut as a kid to be able to enjoy this game at home, even with the flaws.

[@gjergjaurelius9798]

Great beat em up. Final fight CD is definitely the best one. While final fight one on GBA is good too. Both these games are better than the SNES and arcade games. Final fight on SNES for obvious reasons and the arcade version just becomes cheap. Even if you download the arcade version it becomes cheap in later levels. Your just feeding continues because of the difficult spike. It's not fun when you can't have the balance.

[@ThunderForce222]

Actualy. Haggar was in U/MVC3

[@apollolux]

[@geckoo9190]

I think that the characters in final fight were designed based on characters on street fighter, so haggar was supposed to be zangief and because their move sets are so similar I think that they decided not to put two so similar characters on the same game.

[@obatron1]

It caused outrage for me when it first dropped on SNES as a 1 player game only. Thankfully there was a Genesis nearby where me and my friends couple play Streets of Rage.

[@liquidghost]

Am I the only one wanting a serious project remake of THIS game! I mean all the RE Remakes have been great, but I want a Final Fight 1 Remake with serious added in depth story line. I want a slight back story connecting Zangief and Haggar having the same Coach/Trainer when they were younger being the reason as to why they have a similar move set giving a nod to Ryu and Ken. They wouldn't have to train together at the same time just have the same trainer. Which means I want Hagger to have the Spinning Piledriver in FF1 Remake. I want depending on what character you pick that you'll start off in a different location of the city kind of like how Leon and Claire split up and have different paths in RE2. For example if you picked Cody you'd start at Jessica's house going to pick her up and realize she's not there, Guy you'd start out at their gym while receiving the news from Haggar or Cody. If you pick Haggar you'd start out at the Mayor's Office thus giving different paths/playthroughs and a chance for times where the heroes meet up at different locations of the city to fight together before getting split up again. I want the heroes to have walkie talkies or something to communicate like Leon and Claire did throughout Racoon City. Have the last mansion be more grand and have all the team eventually meet up there for the Final Round. It'd be great if the bosses where somehow more epic too plus giving insight to how sadistic these guys really are thus having their fights be more dramatically invested of the outcome. Give the characters specials and voice actors because Don Frye would be the perfect voice for Hagger and the Japanese audience are somewhat familiar with him as a fighter. Lastly, I want a full on unheard of license/sponsorship collaboration with Nike and Adidas for Guy and Cody officially wearing their products 😂. Capcom could even collaborate with Red Wing boots or something for Haggar 😅 Hey a fan can dream, and to be purposely over dramatic, my heart yearns for this game! As a child there was no cooler m'fer on the planet then Cody!

But the game became unique in its own way, and is still challenging now. Trying to beat the game with no continues on hard or without loosing a life is tough as nails. 2nd game i ever got for my snes its still an absolute classic. Recently i sucked in 2 gen Z with it and they became obsessed with it (and a few other snes games)... they dont quite make them like they used to... sure the graphics are infinitly better (except for the new SF games blah), but theres someting about games on limited hardware that made developers try very hard to be great.

In all that talk about characters crossing over into the Street Fighter franchise, I'm surprised you didn't give at least a cursory mention to Haggar's appearance in Saturday Night Slammasters, instead, which may be part of the reason he's been so slow to make the jump over to SF. He's already _in_ another franchise, albeit a far less successful and recognizable one. Also, bible thumping? From the company that infamously removed all crosses and other religious iconography from their games? NoA's censorship was rather infamously heavy-handed, yes, but you can hardly blame it on religious zealotry. If anything it was the opposite: a determination to be as bland and inoffensive to as many people as humanly possible.
