{{quote|"''Mayor Mike Haggar vowed to snatch the streets of Metro City back from the crooks with his bare knuckles! But the Mad Gear Gang snatched his daughter Jessica. Now there's gonna be some bone-crushing dues to pay! Jessica's boyfriend Cody and his friend Guy hit the streets hard with Haggar, denting heads downtown and slugging it out in the slums. Now you're Haggar, Cody or Guy, each with his own fighting style. Demolish gangland [[The Goomba|henchmen]], [[Samurai|samurai swordsmen]] and [[Giant Mook|musclebound]] crime bosses in a [[Good Old Fisticuffs|fist-to-nose frenzy]]!''"|Game description from the X68000 version.}}
Line 24 ⟶ 23:
* [[And Your Reward Is Clothes]]: Subverted in the GBA version. You don't get new clothes for the characters, [[Palette Swap|but you can change the color of their clothing.]] Alpha Cody and Alpha Guy count somewhat in this regard. Even though their sprites are different, their fighting ability are identical to their regular counterpart. Now if only they had added Haggar from ''Slam Masters'' as well.
* [[Bar Brawl]]: Stage 3. West Side.
* [[Big Applesauce]]: Yeah, the setting is "Empire City", but it's clearly supposed to be a darker [[Expy]] of New York.
* [[Black and Gray Morality]]: ''Final Fight: Streetwise''. The rest of the series are more of [[Black and White Morality]].
* [[Bowdlerise]]:
Line 32:
* [[Canon Discontinuity]]: The ''Street Fighter Alpha'' series pretty much invalidated most of ''Final Fight 2'' by giving Guy a completely different Bushin-Ryu master (Zeku instead of Genryusai), having Sodom lead the new Mad Gear instead of Retu, and having Rolento leave the gang instead of still being a part of it. With all these inconsistencies taken into consideration, Maki might be considered a [[Canon Immigrant]], but only if you count her appearance in the GBA and PSP versions of ''Alpha 3'' as canon.
* [[Cast from Hit Points]]: Pressing the Attack and Jump buttons simultaneously performs a "Megacrush" move, a spinning attack that takes out all surrounding enemies but at the cost of the player's health. [[Trope Codifier|This became a standard feature in many subsequent beat-'em-ups.]]
* [[Character Development]]: Many of the [[Mooks]] introduced in these games (such as Poison, Hugo, and all the original bosses except Belger) are fleshed out a great deal in future games, with detailed backstories; this include the eventual merging of Final Fight's continuity into the ''[[Street Fighter]]'' universe.
* [[Color-Coded Multiplayer]]: ''Final Fight 2'' featured a cheat code that allowed both players to use the same character. The second player character is distinguished with an alternate palette. This feature was carried over to the GBA version of the original game.
* [[Combos]]: In the original game, the player's attacks changes with each consecutive hit after the second one. ''Final Fight 3'' added more varied combos such as dash attacks and super moves.
