It always amused me that Haggar was the mayor of Metro City, but is just flying across the world to beat up goons. Like "Mister Mayor, we have three meetings tomorrow about the budget, the state of city roads, and mass transit." "Yeah yeah, listen, I'm going to Hong Kong for two weeks. Can't talk about why."
Final Fight 2 was actually quite financially successful, selling over one million copies. OK, it didn't make as much as the original Final Fight's SNES port which sold 1.5 million copies, however back in those days very seldom do sequels do as good as their originals. It was felt by critics that Final Fight 2 was too similar to the original, and all it had to offer was a change of setting with the global locations, and the two-player mode that was sorely missing from the original's SNES port. It was also said that the game felt and looked bored and tired. But, I argue that Final Fight 2 is a good fun game. I would even go as far as to say it's quite underrated. To me, it has plenty of fun thrills and spills and wacky adventure that you would expect from a Final Fight game. Maybe its premise was too similar to the first game, maybe back in 1993, people went in with very high expectations and were thus disappointed, but I say go back and play Final Fight 2; it's honest a pretty good beat-em-up and deserves more praise; it represents an occasion where Mike Haggar left the United States to take on Mad Gear around the world, where all manner of chaos ensued; definitely a trip to remember. So, go back and play Final Fight 2 with fresh eyes, without having the other Final Fight games in mind.
Final Fight 2 might not feature anyone roundhouse kicking crossbow-wielding, wheelchair-bound gangsters out of skyscrapers, but it is a damned good sequel.
The music in this game is very unique, it has a totally different sound than Final Fight and Final Fight 3. It’s more upbeat and has some g-funk swagger to it. p.s. That is one awesome thumbnail you picked for this video.
I would have preferred a few more enemies on the wackier side of the spectrum, but Elick (the fat guy with the electrodes) more than makes up for it. The gang's just not as memorable as the enemies in the first one, but there's still a lot of personality here.
Its kinda mid, due to the fact Final Fight 3 exists, and the fact that the AI is really really bad, so to compensate they are really defensive and have tons of health (a bit like Streets of Rage 1 in that regard, but that game slaps compared to this) Its just really monotonous due to the high enemy health; Any beat-em-up that has the feeling of "chipping away" where you need to camp the corners and wait a lot, or abuse tricks like looking away during a combo to extend, is not what I'd call a good beat-em-up, but its the most common type.
Man, this game,with my little brother and two cousins that lived across the street. Holy shit, those were the days. Pizza, blockbuster rentals, sleeping bags in my room. That was fun.
I always ran out of credits at the final boss, still was one of my favorites as a kid! I haven't played this game in 15 years - thanks for uploading this so I can finally see the ending 🤟
...but he has a simple pattern. Just keep distance and he will make this short and quick jumps. Attack (throw him!) after he did such a jump and keep distance from his rage attack afterwards. It needs the right timing but ist's easy to learn!
This is such an obscure game from a collecting standpoint. As a collector I never saw this game in my days of game hunting at flea markets, garage sales and thrift stores. I saw Final Fight 3 many times, but never 2. FF3 is my favourite but this one is very solid. It also has some really funky music.
@@supersexysega Thanks for the info. Ya this game is definitely hard to find. Sometimes the middle rarity games are the most difficult to find because there wasn’t as much incentive to find/keep them as the rarer/more valuable games. Just my experience over the years.
@@brendandoyle7508 Hi there. They’re very good, especially Final Fight 3, it’s amazing. If you get the chance to play it one day, I highly recommend it. Have a nice day.
This game and Street Fighter Alpha 2 both take place concurrently, Guy is pursuing Bison which is why he was absent during Final Fight 2. Same as the first FF, that game and the original Street Fighter both happen at the same time.
FF2 is definitely one of the best 16bit brawlers. It's also a great looking game, Capcom did a great job. There exists also a hack with more enemies (up to 5 or 6 instead of three) at one screen, it's a real competition!
I don't understand why this Game is not available in the Nintendo Switch Online... This sequel is better then the awful Port For Super Nintendo from the first Game.
Final Fight 1 on SNES was fine. Sure, it's censored and is missing content, but it's still just as fun as the arcade version. (Ah. I see you are a Yor fan, as well.👍)
Only if there was a SNES Final Fight game with the mechanics of Final Fight 3 (command specials and supers) but with the music and sound effects of Final Fight 2.
This game felt so fresh when i picked it up from blockbuster video! Then seeing Chun Li in the background andnthe little part of Ryu's theme in the character select just made the whole game for me!
And what's interesting is that Haggar and Zangief learned each other's moves and they somehow improved those moves. For example, Zangief tweaked his clothesline to let him move, while Haggar learned how to do his spinning piledriver.
final fight 2 is straight up weird. Its like they used extras from their other brawlers and mashed it all together with some story to justify the material. I had fun playin it its just weird. Final Fight 3 takes it back to its roots.
"I LOVE KICK 'N BUTT" Loved this game as a kid. It doesn't hold up as well as the Streets of Rage games but it's still pretty great. Came so close to beating this on Mania last time I played (lost my last life to the last boss)
Always had mixed feelings about this game. On one hand, the graphics and character animations are much better than the first game, we now have *THREE* characters who all play differently and we now have the option for co-op. At the same time though, it's slightly censored, the bosses are HP sponges and the soundtrack isn't nearly as good as the first game. It's also very repetitive and... I think you guys overdid the reverberation a little. Not a bad sequel, but it's easy to see why it isn't brought up a whole lot these days.
Classic game. Essentially Final Fight 1 but in international settings rather than New Yor-I mean, "Metro City". Regarding the soundtrack, while I agree it's not as memorable as 1 or even 3, but I have to say, I do like the track for the sub-levels (the one that plays in the basement in the first stage among other places, serves a similar function as Law and Disorder from 3), as well as the stage 1/final boss theme, and the Italy theme (first part).
To answer your question, unfortunately, it does not. All it does is give you an extra button to execute the special move instead of using the jump and attack buttons at the same time
They never got over that. GBA Final Fight One still ditches Poison and Roxy even though it readds Guy and Rolento and the rest of the missing arcade content.
Why do Japanese always set the wieght's so low? Haggar gained 3 inches but lost 17 pounds since the first game, lol. 6'10" 280 is pretty lean. Hagger should be like 6'7" 325.
For such a cool beat em up the music can be quite…terrible. Really, Capcom?? Someone should’ve hired the guy who composed the music for Streets of Rage 2 to do this one
I loved the original Final Fight; it was one of the first three SNES games that I owned back in 1991. I had never played the arcade version, so I had nothing to compare it to, but I certainly didn't miss Guy (who was not much different than Cody anyhow, so who really cares) or the excised level, and the slowdown, while noticeable, was nothing for someone coming from the NES. This game, though...the music is terrible, and the graphics are absolutely pathetic compared to the original -- smaller, less clean, and with a rather pixelated look. I would much rather have a bit of slowdown if the tradeoff buys me the better graphics from the original. Also, I played both games exclusively as Haggar, and I much preferred the animations of his moves from the original. I rented this game a few times, but never had even the slightest desire to buy it, in spite of my fondness for the original. NintendoComplete, I love your videos, but if you honestly think that this game is in any way better than the original...I just don't know where in the heck you're coming from. 😀
Umm, I don't. I was responding to the assertion that this game was an improvement upon the original. Is this comment actually intended to add anything, at all, to the discussion, or are you just stating the obvious for the hell of it?
If you (or anyone else) enjoys this game, rest assured that I am entirely happy for you, and have no desire to "ruin [your] fun." But again, I was simply presenting a counterargument to an assertion made in the description; I really fail to see how that could diminish the fun of the game for someone who enjoys it. Suffice it to say, if you have a point, I really don't get it.
Good follow up, HORRIBLE soundtrack. Seriously reverbed as all hell and the melodies give me a migraine. Final Fight 3/tough will always be my favorite. Great characters AND soundtrack in comparison to 2. Since I don't have friends I can also have a computer controlled buddy to play with ;). Beating 2 on expert is quite the challenge. Well done!
Man, imagine how much they must have paid for that. Even funnier, imagine the look on Haggar, Maki, and Carlos' faces when Rolento told them that they had to go all the way to Japan. I mean that is probably the worst flight path I've ever heard of.
When your mayor says he'll take matters in his own hands, it doesn't come any truer than when Mike Haggar is your mayor.
My mayor is a useless turd so much respect for Mr Hagger
Haggar
"So, hey, Chun, you gonna lend a hand here, or...?"
"Nah, you guys got this, I'm good."
Then there's Guile in the France
That song and that Capcom logo... good childhood memories man

The ost of stage 2 is the best in the game
I wonder why wasn’t this in the arcades

Even if doesn't have the same charm of the original or lacking in originality, it is still a good sequel to play.
It's absolute trash compared to the original...and even more heavily censored..
Retu was boring compared to Belger. "Evil Kabuki actor" was better used in Revenge of Shinobi imo, it had him use his hair as a long-ranged weapon
Its kinda mid, due to the fact Final Fight 3 exists, and the fact that the AI is really really bad, so to compensate they are really defensive and have tons of health (a bit like Streets of Rage 1 in that regard, but that game slaps compared to this)

This game and Street Fighter Alpha 2 both take place concurrently, Guy is pursuing Bison which is why he was absent during Final Fight 2. Same as the first FF, that game and the original Street Fighter both happen at the same time.
I reckon when FF 2 was taking place Cody was already i'm the slammer huh 🙄
I love kick'n butt too. 😘 This is a certified classic, one of those games that helped make the 90's what it was.
The one thing I love about this game is how every bad guy has their name up, it gives it a more personal feel to the game.
Love this game. The feeling of impact is like no other. : )
Carlos and his sword slash is bad azz but it drains tf out of your energy

Final Fight on SNES- great games .
Hagar is a beast. I loved these arcades.
This was never released in arcades. Both this and FF3 were SNES exclusives.
Loved this game back in the day. Haggar was my favorite. American version of Zangief.
And what's interesting is that Haggar and Zangief learned each other's moves and they somehow improved those moves. For example, Zangief tweaked his clothesline to let him move, while Haggar learned how to do his spinning piledriver.
Zangief is a russian Haggar
Rolento is by far the hardest boss of this game!
So Many Great memories 😍 i used to Play it so often & Never get bored
Thumbnail be like:
Haggar: "Carlos, pass me some water, i watched the sun too much!"
final fight 2 is straight up weird. Its like they used extras from their other brawlers
and mashed it all together with some story to justify the material. I had fun playin it its just weird.
Final Fight 3 takes it back to its roots.
I like playing final fight 2 on expert
Not good as streets of rage but still good.
If gunfire weapons never existed the universe.
Some people diss it but back in 1993 me and my homie played da shit out of this

Yeah 👍
No you’re the only one

To answer your question, unfortunately, it does not. All it does is give you an extra button to execute the special move instead of using the jump and attack buttons at the same time
"You must travel back to Japan." So Metro City is in Japan??
It’s time for a new Final Fight game.

Game reached improvements with readjusted hack. Also Final Fight 3 beneficial more as second game.
buenas movidas mike haggar
Mary & Eliza > Leon & Robert. No excuse for this line of censorship again when 1 of the playable characters (Maki) is FEMALE.
They never got over that. GBA Final Fight One still ditches Poison and Roxy even though it readds Guy and Rolento and the rest of the missing arcade content.
They need to make console versions of Final Fight 2 and 3 already. I miss these games.
Final Fight 2 had a gritty more Urban feeling despite its "International " Stages
Final Fight 2 feels more rugged, faster paced than the first game.
Carlos is kind of a dork
It's hard to take him seriously when he said _"I love kick'n butt!"_ That line has the same energy as _"Let's Attack Aggressively!"_ from Contra III.😂
@@Dorian_Scott His Canadian Tuxedo doesn't really instill fear into the criminals of the world either.
Love the spinning pile driver. I used to think Haggar looks like Jesse Ventura but now i think he looked more like Sgt. Slaughter
Haggar isn't the only Capcom character to use the spinning pile driver. I feel he was an inspiration from another character.
