I still consider it as a spin-off game from the direct Street Fighter franchise. I think it’s a really interesting transition between the failed, original arcade and its highly-successful sequel.
Capcom chose one helluva way to see off the 1980s with this classic brawler - few games manage to define both a genre and an era as well as Final Fight did.
I had a Capcom classics game disk that had this game and so many others on it when I was a little kid, I remember me and my older brother would always play it and he'd play Haggar every time. Good stuff.
@@jpetersongaming It really was revolutionary compared to the home consoles we played on. The arcade's were an Alladin's cave back then and the games we're just far superior to anything we could play at home. I still play classic mame arcade games now and it's amazing how superior they are compared to the home consoles attempts.
Final fight, One of the most iconic titles I have ever played, absolutely amazing, going to the arcades, insert those coins and having the crowd around you waiting to play next, and now we have it all at home on our pcs trying to make these amazing games alive.

^^ Fantastic score for the arcade version. I noticed all of my favorite tracks in the game are by Matsumae and Shimomura! (Though quick correction: Shimomura did Round 5 part 3)
@@solarflare9078 Two of them were by Junko Tamiya (Bionic Commando, Strider), and one of them was by Yasuaki Fujita (Megaman 3, The Little Mermaid, Darkwing Duck). There were also tracks by Harumi Fujita and Hiromitsu Takaoka.
@igakoga2481 I'm burned the fuck out on Street Fighter as it is, and no way do I enjoy the music in that more than Final Fight, Megaman, Bionic Commando or Strider.
I remember everyone used to pick Haggar. They had this at the arcade in the bowling alley by my house. We used to pump quarters into that thing all day. There would be a crowd of kids standing around watching my brothers and I play it. Then they had "Bad Dudes". 80's era beat em ups were the best.
My local pizza place had this arcade game and the owner was my neighbor everytime I came by the pizza place he would open it up and hit the quarter receiver a bunch of times and let me play free. I loved this game so much lol
@@bradyking9778 Well, gonna be honest with ya, I played the capcom collections version. I think I saw the death scene at an arcade though...I don't remember.
Thankyou for not using the infinite punch loop exploit like most other Final Fight long plays. This is so much more entertaining. Great play 👍 Hagar is a beast !
One idea I had was to make a sequel called Final Fight 4ce (Force). It plays like Sengoku Basara where a doomsday cyberpunk purge-clan ran by Cyborg Belger and instead of kidnapping, he goes mad and threatens to bomb all of Metro City with an atomic rocket missile. The street fighters, the mad gear gang, and the skull cross gang all join forces and are all playable up to 30 brawlers.
Final Fight is one game that should have at least been made into a animated movie if not a live action rendition. Unlike the animated Street Fighter II in 1994(which did not feature a tournament nor did most of the characters interact with each other) Final Fight naturally has a progressive story(Original conflict. Multiple sages. Different Bosses. Final showdown. Rescue the girl) that fits a cinematic narrative.
I love watching the whole playthrough as Haggar because I can imagine a full length movie where Hagar just goes ape shit and wrecks an entire city on his own. You wouldn't even need Guy or Cody to be involved for it to be a good anime
The coolest thing about the Final Fight was music. And Andre Giant. And those punks with mohawks. Final Fight + Punisher + Cadillacs And Dinosaurs = Holy Trinity :)
Man, I remember playing this game as a kid in the early to mid 90s on the SNES; this game was a blast. It is crazy to think that years later, Fighting Force 64 was very similar to this game but in 3D, and the part where you are on the elevator fighting off guys, and then fight the boss once you get to the top; it is exactly the same in Fighting Force 64 except the elevator fight is the final level with the main boss of the game.
Capcom USA kept turning Final Fight into something it’s not. Just like how the Double Dragon and Splatterhouse franchises had the same injustice by American game developers.
I still don’t know why Guy didn’t make it into the original release of Final Fight for the SNES. Instead he has his own version called Final Fight Guy.
Too bad Capcom doesn't have a remastered version of this game! On the other hand, this was an inspiration for one of the games I played in my childhood, Fighting Force 64.
What I wouldn't give to be able to read what the local papers of this city had to say about their own mayor stripping to the waist and beating up every criminal in town to rescue his daughter.
14:59 "Ah, you think the wrestling ring is your ally? You merely adopted the ropes... I was born in them, molded by them! By the time I stepped out into the crowd I was such a Heel they were nothing to me but revolting!"
This isn't the arcade version, this is a game console version of the arcade version.. The actual arcade version that you'll play in a pizza joint was way harder in terms of gameplay.. Also the real arcade version had more detailed graffics.. But this game console version is pretty good also👌
That is true! The arcade version was brutally difficult. I had a part-time job where 90% of the money I made fed this machine for about 6 months of my life.
And if Mike Haggar got into Smash Ultimate, his Final Smash would involve pile diving his opponent right through the center of the Earth and back to the exact same place.

Why is Mike Haggar not in Street Fighter as a playable character? He does make a cameo appearance in the intro sequence of Cody Travers in Ultra Street Fighter IV, but that's about it.

This was originally going to be called Street Fighter '89. I'm glad Capcom decided to make it its own unique franchise.
Same here
It's funny because the name Street Fighter fits this game more than the actual series.
I still consider it as a spin-off game from the direct Street Fighter franchise. I think it’s a really interesting transition between the failed, original arcade and its highly-successful sequel.
It’s apart of Street Fighter Cannon tho.
Over 30 years later, such an awesome game!
Probably why it keeps getting re-releases. Cant wait for the next one.
I turn 40 soon this was amazing in the arcade as a kid.
Capcom chose one helluva way to see off the 1980s with this classic brawler - few games manage to define both a genre and an era as well as Final Fight did.
...
The street figther cartoon had a final fight episode
...
It was rumored to be a pilot for an actual cartoon series
It was possible because Guy was in Street Fighter Alpha, and Cody was in Street Fighter Alpha 3.
th-cam.com/video/7NyscSDDZ8w/w-d-xo.html
Lets hope Capcom pulls it off again should they ever do a Final Fight 4, we need a Final Fight 4.
This is a hard game without free play and two player mode.
Would have been an epic day as a kid if I could watch someone finishing the game in front of me! Thanks for sharing!! 👍
I actually did get to see that as a teen. 😎

The graphics on this game are outstanding for a 1989 game, in 1986 Outrun set the bar and then three years Final fight raised it even higher.
Well said, I remember OutRun blew my mind at that time. Can you imagine we thought that was revolutionary stuff back then?

I never get sick of this game, for me the best version
great feelings of nestalgia ....i remember playing this at bowling alley
Amazing how these classic games have nostalgia embedded in it. I use to play Final Fight at Lees convenience store
My favourite fight game ever grew up with this. Still playing it on evercade
I impressed that you're able to beat this arcade game without continuing
Always love coming back to this game and pile driving punks as Mayor Haggar!

How many quarter s did you have on you?

Oh yeah, I loved the GBA port. Double Impact was also great with its remixed soundtrack.
Thankyou for not using the infinite punch loop exploit like most other Final Fight long plays. This is so much more entertaining.
Great play 👍 Hagar is a beast !
I have never seen someone this good at using Haggar
Epic Game
Eu era vidrado nesse jogo nos anos 90 quando eu era adolescente.
Still have not played this, I might download it. looks a lot like Streets Of Rage, and of that I am a big fan
Streets of Rage had the best music ever! I would play that on my sega genesis before hitting up the club scenes in the early 90s
Final FIght *deserves* a revival like the one Streets of Rage had with SoR4
Final Fighter 4 !

@@solarflare9078 Yeah. The only problem with it they didn't continue the story.
"Wahoo! Wahoo! Waaahooo!" For as big as he is, Damnd always has others doing his fighting for him.
And that high pitched voice!
I always thought his name was Damno.
The fact that Mike Haggar is the mayor kills me. "Hello, you reached 911. The mayor's doing what?"
Epic characters game play and awesome music.
Great times playing this game
The coolest thing about the Final Fight was music. And Andre Giant. And those punks with mohawks. Final Fight + Punisher + Cadillacs And Dinosaurs = Holy Trinity :)
I always thought the enemies looked like Andre the Giant too! Good eye
The thing that made the final fight franchise even better was it could be played very easy or hard.
the sound design if so satisfying
Haggar, I have respect for that man!
I like how the thugs gang up on you just as in the real life. Alone, they are cowardly.

Great gameplay as always, I hope you will show us some super rare arcade's hidden gems, especially Japan exclusive.
Haggar looks too much like Freddie Mercury at the ending there.
A jacked Freddy Mercury
A classic beat-em-up.

Arcade machine release history
1989 - Final Fight
1999 - Final Fight Revenge
Sadly, Capcom kill this franchise for good after Final Fight Streetwise but, this legendary game still alive.
Capcom USA kept turning Final Fight into something it’s not.
Just like how the Double Dragon and Splatterhouse franchises had the same injustice by American game developers.
They ultimately merged Final Fight into Street Fighter universe
Why did the Mad gear gang Think That kidnapping The Daughter of a professional world wining pro Wrestler Was a Good idea
Because Belger thought those three street fighters would never stand a chance against the five Mag Gear ringleaders…
… Well he thought wrong!
I still don’t know why Guy didn’t make it into the original release of Final Fight for the SNES. Instead he has his own version called Final Fight Guy.
Too bad Capcom doesn't have a remastered version of this game! On the other hand, this was an inspiration for one of the games I played in my childhood, Fighting Force 64.
Not my favourite fighter, but I am certainly glad that it was included in the capcom beat em up collection
Back when video games used to feel like Golan Globus productions..
The music on the SNES version is way better than the arcade. The arcade version features more game playing scenarios though 🎴
Very true. I wasn't too fond of the arcade music either in comparison to the SNES
Yeah it really is bro lol. Hope you're doing ok these days.
Most satisfying game of all times
What I wouldn't give to be able to read what the local papers of this city had to say about their own mayor stripping to the waist and beating up every criminal in town to rescue his daughter.
Sounds like something a live-action Final Fight movie would have,
Sam Raimi would be the best choice to direct the film.
@@KenMasters.Oh, that's be perfect. And with the recent turnaround video game movies have started to have, it might even happen, too.

Also there are recent live action shorts such as Cody's SFV promo trailer, and Final Fight: The Broken Gear.
