Summary
Final Fight drops you into Metro City’s gritty streets with a simple two‑button layout—an eight‑way joystick, an attack button and a jump button. Press attack repeatedly to chain combos, tilt the stick opposite your last direction for a throw, or slam both buttons together for a health‑draining special that hits everything around you. Weapons like knives, katanas and pipes appear from breakable barrels, but they disappear after a few uses or if you get disarmed.
You pick one of three fighters, each with a distinct feel: Haggar’s massive strength makes his grabs and piledrivers devastating but slow, Cody darts around with rapid knife strikes, and Guy flips off walls for a soaring side‑kick. All three share a "death blow" activated by pressing both buttons at once, which hurts the enemy more than it hurts you. Health bars for you and every foe are always visible, and food items restore your stamina when you’re running low.
The arcade runs six stages plus two bonus rounds, each set in a different Metro City locale and ending with a unique boss. In two‑player mode a fallen partner can continue right where they died, while solo play forces a restart of the current stage after a continue. If you beat the game on a single credit, the ending flips to a quirky credit roll that ends with the cryptic line “My name is POM.”
Storyline
In the arcade classic Final Fight, the action unfolds in the fictional Atlantic‑coast city of Metro City during the 1990s, a place plagued by rampant crime. Mayor Mike Haggar, a former pro wrestler who has just been elected, has been cutting down the violence but faces a new threat.
The Mad Gear gang, led by the crooked businessman Belger, kidnaps Haggar’s young daughter Jessica to force the mayor’s compliance. Determined not to sit behind his desk, Haggar enlists Jessica’s boyfriend Cody Travers and his friend Guy, a ninja‑in‑training, to launch a rescue mission.
Together the trio battles through the city’s slums, subway and other districts, confronting gang members and bosses before finally confronting Belger and rescuing Jessica.
