![]() ![]() All his basic punches and kicks from Final Fight were adapted into his basic ground and air attacks, and most of his other sprites (walking, jumping, being hit, etc.) were also adapted from the Final Fight sprites. His Bushin Gokusaken would later inspire a similar combo mechanic labeled "Target Combos" in Street Fighter III. Two specific moves based on Final Fight include the "Bushin Gokusaken" (which is based on his basic chain combo) and "Bushin Senpukyaku" (based on his "Whirlwind Kick" Super Attack). ![]() His fighting style is based on his moves from Final Fight games, but also has new powerful attacks due to the game's different gameplay. Guy, one of the selectable characters in Final Fight, appears in his classic red ninja gi, but his look is slightly modified, most notably in his ninja boots being replaced with Nike Dunks sneakers. The two series continuities are definitively merged in Street Fighter Alpha, which features two selectable Final Fight characters: Guy and Sodom. One of the characters in the background also has Guile's hairstyle, but this time it's not sure he's actually him, because he has a totally different outfit, probably being just a technician, and being in France he's probably French, rather than American.įinally, Haggar returns the favor after Zangief copied his Double Lariat in Street Fighter II, and now he can perform Zangief's own signature move, the "Spinning Piledriver".Ĭameo of the character with Guile's hairstyle. In the background of the game's first stage, Hong Kong, Chun-Li can be seen sitting at a table eating noodles.Īlso, the fight with Freddie, the boss of the second stage, France, takes place in an airport with people cheering in the background, thus resembling Guile's stage from Street Fighter II. This marks the earliest indication the two series were meant to share the same universe, before Final Fight characters became a staple addition of Street Fighter games. The OST Street Fighter II Complete File includes an artbook which mentions that Shiro, the white dog seen on the background of the Bay Area stage in Final Fight, is good friends with Sabu, Guile's family pet dog seen in his Street Fighter II ending. The car smashing stage in Street Fighter II. The stage also takes place in different locations, with the Final Fight one taking place in a gas station, while the Street Fighter II one takes place on a dock similar to Ken's stage in the game.Īnother reference can be seen in Zangief's fighting style as it appears to be partially based on Haggar's, specially in how he uses Haggar's signature move, the "Double Lariat". In Final Fight there also is a pipe useable to break the car, and the points awarded are different, but these differences may simply be for gameplay reasons. In both versions the player has to break a car within a time limit, but in Street Fighter II the car can be destroyed more than in Final Fight, and the car owner (that was the enemy Bred in Final Fight) no more comes in to find his car smashed. ![]() Scott, however, still retains a similar design and backstory to Cody.Īn element actually taken from Final Fight is the car smashing bonus stage. This issue was officially settled in the Street Fighter V online character encyclopedia, which included a profile for the two fighters on the intro, revealing them to be original characters named Max and Scott. Another popular theory is that the man is actually Joe from Street Fighter (and the other one would be Mike, still from Street Fighter). The first one very much resembles Cody from Final Fight, and many feel he's actually him. Street Fighter II, the actual sequel to Street Fighter, makes some references to Final Fight.Ī first reference is in the game's introduction, that features a blonde guy punching an african-american man, none of them being actual characters in the game. Many also feel that the game's main character, Cody Travers was originally intended to be Joe from Street Fighter, because of both characters being blonde and american, but this was never officially confirmed and may be simply a coincidence. In the actual release the title was changed to Final Fight, probably because of the very different gameplay.įor this reason the two series are considered to be ideally linked to each other.
