Let’s Play Final Fight

Let’s Play Final Fight! Let’s Play Final FightThis might be my first let’s play for the SNES and it’s a veritable classic. It’s also one of the first games we ever had for the SNES along with Mario World (of course) and F-Zero. That was a great Christmas, arriving at the height of my obsession with video games and Nintendo specifically.

Let’s Play Final Fight:

Cody versus Haggar (nope there’s no Guy sightings in this game). Both great choices, but for my money Haggar is just more fun to play with. I used to play exclusively with Cody because my brother and I loved exploiting the “throw three punches with turbo, turn around, then turn back and do it all over again” technique so that you would never finish your combo on the guy you were beating up on, which basically meant you could stun punch someone indefinitely until they died. A fun trick to execute but admittedly probably not the most fun to watch, so I went heavy on Haggar.

Gotta love any mayor who is willing to roll up his sleeves (or in Haggar’s case rip them off altogether along with his shirt) and clean up the city by hand himself. It’s big talk to say you’re going to clean up the crime in your city if you’re a politician, but very few are willing to do it by killing every single criminal by way of a series of piledrivers and pipe-to-skull bashing. I’d vote for Haggar every damn time… so that he wouldn’t kill me.

This was Capcom’s first contribution to the SNES, and if there were any fears that great NES developers wouldn’t translate their success to the next level, Capcom quickly dispelled them with this game. The music was everything I had come to expect from Capcom as was the gameplay, graphics, and general bad-assery. Yep, that’s how I’m ending this one. No I’ll end it on this: who the hell is Lesky?
