The Ballad of Mike Haggar

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

The Ballad of Mike Haggar is a video game compilation video telling the awesome story of Final Fight's Mayor of Metro City (not related to another Metro City), the eponymous Mike Haggar, as he tries and cleans his beloved city of the criminal scum that has taken it over. It displays an awesome voiceover, as well as a great video editing. Plus, the ending is AWESOME.

Tropes used in The Ballad of Mike Haggar include:
  • Ambadassador: Clearly, Haggar decided to resort to a different sort of diplomacy when negotiations failed.
  • And the Adventure Continues...: After all of that build up, you find out that Haggar has only finished Round 3 of Final Fight. He still has to plow through the Industrial Area, Bay Area, and Up Town.

"And so, pursuing evil's scent, / Haggar strode forth, his wrath unspent, / And I, your faithful balladeer, / Cry out in zealous joy, 'Round Clear!'"

"This is not the ballad of Guy or Cody, / Saviours weak and frail and bony, / If you'll think back, and not too far, / Recall that I speak of Mike Haggar!"
