Final Fight Revenge (ファイナルファイトリベンジ) is a Sega Titan Video arcade fighting game developed by Capcom USA and published by Capcom. It was released exclusively in Japan in 1999. It is the only one-on-one fighting game in the Final Fight series and the first game developed by Capcom USA.
The game was ported to the Sega Saturn by the same developer in March 2000, where it was one of the final releases for the system. Though it was a Japanese exclusive, it includes an English language option. The game requires the 4MB Extended RAM Cartridge to play.
Amidst riots that have broken out in Metro City, the members of the former Mad Gear Gang are trying to regroup, and Jessica Haggar has once again gone missing.
Gameplay
Character select
Final Fight Revenge is a 3D versus fighting game. It differs from most other fighting games in that weapons are scattered on the floor of each stage, which can be used to inflict more damage. Fights are played to the best of three rounds, with the victor being the fighter who empties his opponent's health bar or has the most health remaining when time runs out.
The single-player mode consists of matches against six opponents and a final match against Belger. Each character has his or her own specific ending. There are eight difficulty-levels for computer-controlled opponents. A second player can enter the game to fight the other player by pressing START , with the winner continuing the game. There is also a dedicated two-player versus mode. After choosing a character, players can choose between Normal and Auto for automatic blocking and Turbo game speed.
Characters move with and and crouch with . They hop backward with or + or dash forward or +. They jump with and flip back and forth with and . They can sidestep into the foreground with or into the background with +. Punches are done with (light) and (hard) and kicks are done with (light) and (hard). Light attacks are faster and hard attacks deal more damage. Special moves for each character are done by pairing specific directional combinations with an attack button. Characters can perform a taunt once per round with , which is a short animation during which the character is vulnerable to attack.
During a fight, characters can pick up weapons or health-recovering items lying on the ground. Some items are hidden in destructive boxes or barrels. When the character is near a retrievable item or weapon, a green arrow appears over the item to alert the player of its presence, then the character can pick up the item with (without holding a direction). There are two types of weapons in this game: melee weapons such as knives and lead pipes, and firearms such as flamethrowers and machine guns. Melee weapons replace the character's punches and kicks with high and low weapon strikes, while firearms replace hard punches with shooting. Some characters gain special benefits or additional moves from certain weapons. Characters can pick and store up to three weapons in their inventory at once and switch between them or put them away by pressing the light punch and kick buttons together (+ by default). Characters can throw the currently equipped weapon to their opponent by pressing the hard punch and kick buttons together (+ by default). Some characters start each round with weapons. Characters are also disarmed when they are knocked down by throws, sweeps, or other moves. Each weapon has a finite number of uses or ammo, but picking up a weapon after it is thrown or dropped restores its uses.
Throws and grabs are done by holding or when next to an opponent and pressing a hard punch or kick button. Different characters have different throws available to them, including air throws. Throws cannot be blocked. Blocking is done by holding the D-Pad away from the opponent, with special moves still doing a small amount of "chip damage" if blocked. Characters can become dizzy from being attacked repeatedly; they are uncontrollable and vulnerable in this state but can recover more quickly by rapidly pressing back and forth on the D-Pad along with the attack buttons. It is also possible to escape grabs in this way.
In additional to their special moves, characters have Super moves that can only be performed by filling the Super gauge. Performing attacks or taking damage increases the Super gauge. Characters can stock up to three levels of the gauge, which are carried over between rounds; using a Super move consumes one level. When a character finishes off an opponent with a Super move, a special finishing sequence is shown.
Characters
Move lists assume the player is facing right. If facing left, and should be reversed. P refers to any of the punch buttons, while K refers to any of the kick buttons. SPECIAL refers to the button used for sidestepping and picking up items ( by default).
