The first Final Fight was more widely known and more relevant as a considered upgrade over Double Dragon, while Final Fight 2 and Final Fight 3 aren't as known because Streets of Rage eclipsed Final Fight (relevance-wise and knowability-wise) in much the same fashion Final Fight itself eclipsed Double Dragon.
Anyway, for Final Fight 1 SNES, I usually play as Cody since he's the only playable medium-sized mang (to quote Scott Hall) in the Super NES port because Guy isn't in the game, and Rolento is another cartridge space casualty who makes his return in Final Fight 2.
Nonetheless, I beg to differ with AVGN when he says Final Fight 1 on SNES is the best of them all, when obviously the Arcade version tops all other versions of Final Fight 1.

maybe for consolegays, real bmup fans were playing much better capcom games instead, SoR was nowhere near a revolution as FF, Powered Gear or D&D were.
I never saw Power Gear or D&D in an arcade in the 90s. I did see AVP, Punisher, Cadillacs and Dinos and all the Konami licensed beat em ups. Seems that licenses were the games drawing quarters.
D&D is a license and it was everywhere
No shit sherlock. Still never saw it in the wild. Unless you count arcade and pin ball museums. Ninja turtles and Simpson games are still everywhere, all these years later.
But yeah, Haggar was in for all three Final Fight games, and Guy came back for Final Fight 3. Outside of Haggar and Guy, the second and third games give you nobodies like Carlos, Maki, Lucia and Dean.
>Dean
Final Fight is based
indeed it is, for being better than Double Dragon.
Even Renegade was better than Double Dragom
You take that back, you frick. Renegade isn't better than anything.
t. shitter
Renegade plays and runs better than Double Dragon
I don't think anyone was really comparing the two
Double Dragon's first couple of arcade games are great, but Final Fight's arcade version is better than both. However, I'd rank the NES version of Double Dragon II and Double Dragon Advance both above any Final Fight game.
Final Fight is ok, just not my go-to bmup like Streets Of Rage is.
Poor Cody took a beating by some Mad Gear minions.
Guess Capcom didn't find him interesting enough compared to Guy and Haggar.
Yeah, Cody was nothing more than a generic “white tanktop, blue jeans” dude protagonist. Axel Stone was way better.
Thoughts on the 6th gen Final Fight game?
Not retro.
for me its mighty final fight
Final Fight 2 was the 49th bestselling SNES game and clear 1 million sales, so I don't know if you can really say that it was eclipsed by SoR.
>while Final Fight 2 and Final Fight 3 aren't as known
Dunno about that, anon. Were you around back then? Both games were famous among Super Nintendo owners. Unless you're comparing them to the huge overall success of the first game. If that's so, beat'em ups in general were getting phased out by fighting games.
Not him, but I was born in the late 1980s and while I enjoyed the first two FFs on SNES, I don't recall playing the third game until a few years ago. Not sure if I even knew it existed back in the day.
I'm also not sure if FF3 (Tough) sold very well in Japan, since it seems like one of those rare cases of a Super Famicom game which is stupidly expensive, something which seems to coincide with good games which didn't have huge sales when they were current.
It's weird. I'm from the 3rd world and both games were pretty known here, even at their launch date. I played lots of Final Fight 3, and it was considered a good game. Mega Drive owners liked to play it, just like we played Streets of Rage. I didn't even know about "console wars" until I came to the Internet, because I never saw that happening during old days; we just played whatever we could.
>because Streets of Rage eclipsed Final Fight
No.
FF2 and 3 weren't as known because they were console games with limited releases. While even South America got Final Fight 1 arcade machines entire countries didn't get to play these other two sequels because of distribution.
>I usually play as Cody
Interested in Final Fight; not interested in your flawed personal experience
>Final Fight 1 on SNES is the best of them all
Sega CD is the best version, over 49,000 threads have documented this naturally occurring phenomenon. SNES version was simply the most available format of the entire series.
Please just be honest and write that you want to discuss Final Fight. There is no shame in doing so.
Final Fight only ever was really worth playing in the arcades and MAYBE on GBA. Final Fight 3 is the best single-player Final Fight on SNES.
The arcade is the best source of beat 'em ups. This is just blatantly obvious. SoR is the only one that can ever be on the same level of intensity and coolness.
People that prefer the watered down SNES are either autists that literally can't enjoy arcade games because they are not on a console and their autism revolves around the hardware the game is on or they are weak gamers that cannot handle the 1cc life style
FF1 on SNES really isn't THAT bad. Yeah it's nowhere near the arcade version, but for an early SNES game in a time when people didn't expect home ports to stack up against the arcade, it was passable, especially when you factor in that not everybody lived near a place with a FF cab, meaning they wouldn't personally have another option or even something to compare it against.
Anyone played the modded 30th anniversary edition? It is pretty fun with friends
Final Fight 3 came out at a time when Nintendo was gearing up to move away from Super NES to the Nintendo 64.
Also miss opportunity port SFA2 Gold on N64 and conversion Vampire: The Night Warrior into SFC hardware
along with the two male thugs and one named Axl, there's also two more thugs behind the others on the right taunting Cody as he's getting beat down.
>FF arcade
classic game

It's good because it's designed on top of the great arcade game

A great game stuck on a bad console
If you can remove the SNES FF games completely from the context of the arcade releases and the SoR comparisons then you have a pretty great trilogy of games. But that's hard to do.
I'll give them credit for what they were trying to do with SNES FF1. They wanted something that more or less looked, sounded and played like the arcade game but they had to cut a ton of content and features in exchange. They should have put more effort into FF Guy to reinstate those features. FF2 is solid but really offers nothing over the original arcade game. FF3 is also good and has lots of cool ideas but most of those had already been done by the SoR games. In a vacuum all the games are great and very fun to play.
Final Fight Guy basically felt like Cody re-skinned as Guy, same game and guy (no pun intended) just a different cosmetic makeup.
Yep. They also put in some minor background details that got cut out the first time around and I think they fixed some of the slowdown but it's the same game otherwise.
I was under the false impression that FFG was going to be a "corrected" version of FF, with not only Guy, but 2 player mode added and the missing level added back end. It ended up being a bit of a disappointing rental.
Couldn't they really get a 16Mb cartridge for Final Fight Guy as make it as close to the arcade as possible? The franchise was huge back then. Also, Streets of Rage 2 was basically a newcomer and went with a 16Mb cartridge just fine. That penny pinching is annoying as frick.
Capcom being greedy as usual.
>Couldn't they really get a 16Mb cartridge for Final Fight Guy
They didn't even need a bigger cartridge, they just needed better programmers and processes. The most apparent thing when looking at Final Fight's SNES ROM is that it doesn't use any compression whatsoever for the graphics.
Really? That makes it even worse, as if they didn't care at all. Capcom made good games, but it took them long enough to step up their game for the home market. Konami's conversions were usually better, and they were pretty stingy.
Why is Maki on that screen?
What do you mean?
I'd like to know too as I'm a Maki fan.
Final Fight CD is a solid option if you want the arranged soundtracks.
or MT-32
>Streets of Rage eclipsed Final Fight (relevance-wise and knowability-wise)
Where do you come up with this stupid shit?
I played Final Fight 3 for the first time in years yesterday. Can't believe just how stingy it is with health pickups. I think your first hp refill is mid into the game.
English localizations of the snes trilogy censor Poison and the other traps. The blood too, I think.
Better to play arcade FF1 and jap roms of 2 and 3.

WOAH HOLY FRICKING SHIT FINAL FIGHT ON SNES SUCKS ASS WHAT AN ORIGINAL FRICKING THOUGHT
Sincerely hope Fentanyl Fight 4 (leaked to be a 2024 release) has a Guilty Gear artstyle, and not some horrid 3d modeled; non-cel-shaded trash with no gravity or inertia.
