![]() So it feels odd to come back to Final Fight after playing a new Street Fighter game. Soviet wrestler Zangief is a clear evolution of Final Fight’s professional wrestler turned politician Haggar: he’s got grapple moves, a piledriver (although it doesn’t spin) and even a Spinning Lariat. ![]() It’s clear to see just how influential Final Fight was on Street Fighter II. Indeed Final Fight was originally intended as a sequel to the first Street Fighter (thankfully someone realised the two games were nothing like each other and decided against it). The two franchises have always shared a special bond. That arena, set among the steel beams of a half-built skyscraper, even has a giant statue of Mayor Mike Haggar holding the city’s name aloft in the background. It’s got two characters from Final Fight: Cody and Guy (whose target combo is an exact replica of his main combo from Final Fight), and a Metro City stage. ![]() Super’s packed with Final Fight fan service. As hype for Super Street Fighter IV reaches fever pitch, interest in the classic two-player co-op side-scrolling beat-em-up has never been higher. Final Fight: Double Impact’s release on XBLA and PSN this week is well timed. ![]()
