Final Fight

Game Details:

Final Fight was originally developed for Capcom's CPS arcade system and is one of the company's most successful arcade games. Set in the fictional Metro City, players can choose to play as Mayor Mike Haggar, martial artist Cody, or ninja Guy to rescue the kidnapped Mayor's daughter, Jessica.

The game revolves around "beat 'em up" gameplay, with each level featuring a large number of enemies and bosses waiting to be challenged. Each character has unique skills and moves, supporting single-player or two-player cooperative play. The impact of combat and the enemy AI design were quite excellent at the time.

Final Fight not only laid the foundation for Capcom's beat 'em up action games, but also spawned multiple sequels and related characters, and has close ties to the Street Fighter series.

Editor's Recommendation:

As a classic action game from the late 80s, Final Fight still has extremely high playability to this day. Its impactful combat feel and smooth combo experience are imitated by many later beat 'em up action games. The three characters have different styles, suitable for players with different combat preferences, and support two-player cooperation, allowing friends to experience the passionate memories of the arcade era together.

Whether you are a veteran action game player or a new player who wants to experience the charm of the golden age of arcades, Final Fight is a representative work that you cannot miss.

Game Guide:

1. Character Selection Recommendations

• Mike Haggar: A strength-type character with the highest attack power, suitable for beginners, but with slow attack speed.
• Cody: A well-rounded character with balanced speed and attack power, and the ability to throw knives.
• Guy: A speed-type character, fast moving and suitable for advanced players, with smoother combos.

2. Walkthrough Tips

• Make good use of grabs and throws: Grabbing and throwing enemies at close range deals high damage and can ignore some defenses, so it is recommended to master this first.
• Avoid being surrounded: Avoid facing multiple enemies at the same time, create distance or flank them one by one.
• Use jump attacks to break defenses: When facing enemies with strong defenses (such as stick-wielding men), use jump + attack to break through the defenses.
• Use "Special Moves" wisely: Press attack + jump simultaneously to release a whirlwind attack, which can be used to get out of encirclements (consumes own health).
• BOSS battle key points: BOSSes usually have high attack power and the ability to summon minions. It is recommended to clear the minions first, then focus on the BOSS, and use movement to position yourself for damage output.

3. Item Utilization

• Break street-side boxes or oil drums to obtain food for health replenishment or weapons. Using items in a timely manner can improve endurance.
• Some enemies drop ranged weapons such as knives and iron pipes. Using them to strike first can give you an advantage.
