Final Fight is a side-scrolling beat-'em-up produced by Capcom. Final Fight can be played by up to two players simultaneously. Before the game begins, the player chooses between the three main characters: Haggar, Cody, and Guy. Each has his own fighting style and attributes. Health gauges are displayed for both player and enemy characters. The controls for Final Fight consist of an eight-way joystick and two buttons for attacking and jumping respectively. Pressing the attack button repeatedly when attacking an enemy or multiple enemies will cause the player character to perform a combo. The final blow of the combo can be changed to a throw if the player moves the joystick in the opposite direction just before landing it. The player can also perform a jump attack. Pressing the attack and jump buttons simultaneously allows the player to perform a special attack that strikes all surrounding enemies, but will drain a small portion of the player's health. Enemies can be grabbed simply by walking into one of them. When an enemy is grabbed, the player can perform a grab attack by pressing the attack button or perform a throw by tilting the joystick left or right. A thrown enemy can be tossed at another for additional damage. Items such as weapons, health recovery items, and items awarding extra points can be picked up by standing over one and pressing the attack button. Weapons have limited uses and will disappear if the player is disarmed by an enemy too much or when the player moves to a new area. Final Fight consists of six stages or "rounds", as well as two bonus rounds. Each round takes place in a different section of Metro City such as the Slums and the Subway, with most rounds featuring more than one level. At the end of each round the player will face a boss character unique to that round. Read less

I played this as a part of the Capcom Beat'em Up Collection. I liked beat'em ups as a kid because I liked mashing buttons. As an adult, I'm not really familiar with the nuances of the genre. I only tried one character and had unlimited continues, so it was a good time. Not really sure what makes a good beat'em up vs a bad one though. I will say that Final Fight has a lot of things that are synonymous with the genre for me (stage interactions, weapons, trash can chickens). This run was the first time I ever saw past the 2nd level, so that was a good time too.

FINAL FIGHT GUY REVIEW: (SNES)

Final Fight Guy is a 1994 progressive fighting game.Capcom, the producer and distributor of the game, did a great job.The story of the game is as follows.In the streets!It's a man against a whole city, and Guy and Haggar are ready to break some heads. Nothing stands in their way as they take down Mad Gear and search for the headquarters of the Mad Gear gang and Jessica's elusive leader.The gameplay is as follows.in this game consisting of 5 sections, you are trying to kill the enemies and cross the section.The music of the game is beautiful.If you are not too obsessed with graphics and you like retro games, this game is for you.My rating for the game: 10/10 (y) Good games to everyone 🙂

I cannot remember if I played this as a kid or not. Beat in a few hours on hard using Haggar. I chose him because the other guy was not shown in the opening story scenes, though when I beat the game I was wishing I was Cody to get the girl. Some of the bosses were challenging. The guy …

I cannot remember if I played this as a kid or not. Beat in a few hours on hard using Haggar. I chose him because the other guy was not shown in the opening story scenes, though when I beat the game I was wishing I was Cody to get the girl. Some of the bosses were challenging. The guy with katanas I found to be the hardest.
