An enhanced port of the titular 1989 [[Capcom]] arcade game ''[[wikipedia:Final Fight (video game)|Final Fight]]'', it was first released in Japan in April 1993{{ref|https://web.archive.org/web/20200622192404/https://sega.jp/history/hard/mega-cd/software.html}} to critical and commercial success. It has since developed a reputation as one of the best games for the Mega-CD. |
+ | |||
+ | ==Story== | ||
+ | {{ScreenThumb|Final Fight CD, Comparisons, Damnd Intro JP.png|width=200|Mayor Haggar}} | ||
+ | The game is set in a fictional city on the Atlantic coast of the United States named Metro City, a city plagued by alarming levels of crime and violence. When the new mayor, pro wrestler turned politician Mike Haggar, promises to clean up the city, the Mad Gear Gang, under the leadership of the crooked businessman Belger, kidnaps his daughter Jessica and warns him not to interfere. When Haggar finds out about his daughter's abduction, he becomes furious and decides to take his fight against Mad Gear to a personal level. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Seeking additional manpower, Haggar recruits Cody Travers, an expert fighter and Jessica's boyfriend, and Guy, a ninja in training and Cody's good friend and rival. The three dedicate themselves to the complete eradication of the Mad Gear Gang and to rescue Jessica from their clutches. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Gameplay== | ||
+ | The game is a belt-scrolling beat-'em-up that can be played by up to two players simultaneously. Gameplay consists of continually moving to the right, defeating any enemies that appear on the way to each stage's boss with a variety of hand-to-hand attacks, such as punches, kicks, and throws. Player can choose between three main characters, each with his own fighting style and attributes. The game is split into six areas, each representing a different part of Metro City. Rounds are split into several smaller sub-stages. At the end of each stage is a powerful boss enemy that must be defeated before continuing. | ||
− | + | Characters move by pressing the D-Pad in any direction and jump with {{A}} or {{C}}. Characters attack with {{B}}. Each character has a basic combo that can performed by rapidly hitting the attack button, several attacks that can be performed while in the air, and the ability to grab opponents by walking close to them. While grappling an enemy, the character can either attack an enemy three times before letting them go or throw them in another direction. Enemies can be thrown at each other for additional damage. All three characters also have a special attack, performed with {{A}}+{{B}} or {{B}}+{{C}}, that knocks away all opponents surrounding them. This attack costs a small amount of health if it connects and cannot be performed if the player does not have enough health. Barrels, trash cans, and other objects can be broken to reveal food to restore health, items which increase the player's score, and weapons (knives, swords, and pipes). Items are picked up by pressing {{B}} while standing over them. | |
− | + | Health gauges are displayed for both player and enemy characters. The game ends if the player's character loses all of his health, though it can be continued from the point where the character was defeated if the player has credits remaining. | |
− | The game | + | |
+ | Exclusive to this version of the game is a Time Attack mode where players fight an onslaught of enemies for either 99 seconds or until they are defeated twice. Score is counted by the number of enemies defeated before the mode ends. | ||

Final Fight CD (ファイナルファイトCD) is a Sega Mega-CD beat-'em-up game developed by A-Wave and published by Sega. An enhanced port of the titular 1989 Capcom arcade game Final Fight, it was first released in Japan in April 1993[2] to critical and commercial success. It has since developed a reputation as one of the best games for the Mega-CD.
Contents
Story
The game is set in a fictional city on the Atlantic coast of the United States named Metro City, a city plagued by alarming levels of crime and violence. When the new mayor, pro wrestler turned politician Mike Haggar, promises to clean up the city, the Mad Gear Gang, under the leadership of the crooked businessman Belger, kidnaps his daughter Jessica and warns him not to interfere. When Haggar finds out about his daughter's abduction, he becomes furious and decides to take his fight against Mad Gear to a personal level.
Seeking additional manpower, Haggar recruits Cody Travers, an expert fighter and Jessica's boyfriend, and Guy, a ninja in training and Cody's good friend and rival. The three dedicate themselves to the complete eradication of the Mad Gear Gang and to rescue Jessica from their clutches.
Gameplay
The game is a belt-scrolling beat-'em-up that can be played by up to two players simultaneously. Gameplay consists of continually moving to the right, defeating any enemies that appear on the way to each stage's boss with a variety of hand-to-hand attacks, such as punches, kicks, and throws. Player can choose between three main characters, each with his own fighting style and attributes. The game is split into six areas, each representing a different part of Metro City. Rounds are split into several smaller sub-stages. At the end of each stage is a powerful boss enemy that must be defeated before continuing.
Characters move by pressing the D-Pad in any direction and jump with or . Characters attack with . Each character has a basic combo that can performed by rapidly hitting the attack button, several attacks that can be performed while in the air, and the ability to grab opponents by walking close to them. While grappling an enemy, the character can either attack an enemy three times before letting them go or throw them in another direction. Enemies can be thrown at each other for additional damage. All three characters also have a special attack, performed with + or +, that knocks away all opponents surrounding them. This attack costs a small amount of health if it connects and cannot be performed if the player does not have enough health. Barrels, trash cans, and other objects can be broken to reveal food to restore health, items which increase the player's score, and weapons (knives, swords, and pipes). Items are picked up by pressing while standing over them.
Health gauges are displayed for both player and enemy characters. The game ends if the player's character loses all of his health, though it can be continued from the point where the character was defeated if the player has credits remaining.
Exclusive to this version of the game is a Time Attack mode where players fight an onslaught of enemies for either 99 seconds or until they are defeated twice. Score is counted by the number of enemies defeated before the mode ends.
Characters
Guy | |
---|---|
Guy is a Bushido ninja and a friend of Haggar and Cody. While he has the weakest attack strength, he moves faster than both Haggar and Cody. He has the ability to leap off the sides of the screen and performs better with swords than the other characters. His special maneuver is the bushin senpuukyaku (武神旋風脚), a spinning whirlwind kick. | |
Cody | |
Cody is a street fighter and Jessica's boyfriend. He has an equal balance of attack strength and speed. He is able to knock incoming knives out of the way with an attack, and he fights better with them than the other characters. His special move is the crack kick, a jumping kick. | |
Haggar | |
Haggar is the mayor of Metro City and a former pro wrestler. He is Jessica's father. He has the highest attack power, although he has the slowest speed. His special ability is the double lariat (also called the spinning clothesline), and he uses the pipe more effectively than the other characters. He has three grapple moves: he can grab opponents and headbutt them as well as perform a suplex or a piledriver. |
Weapons
Weapons knock opponents down when they connect. They have limited uses and disappear if the player is disarmed by an enemy too much or moves to a new area.

---|---|
Knives can be thrown across the screen at enemies as a projectile weapon. Cody can also use knives to stab enemies in close range. | |
Sword | |
