"Final Fight" is the twelfth episode in the second season of the Street Fighter TV series. The plot and title of this episode are based on and named after Capcom's arcade beat 'em up game of the same name.
Synopsis[]
The new Mayor of Metro City, Mike Haggar, finds himself in a tough situation when his daughter Jessica is kidnapped by a ruthless street gang known as Mad Gear commanded by ringleaders El Gado, Andore, Thrasher, Sodom and Rolento, so it's up to Ryu and Ken to save her, along with Jessica's boyfriend Cody and fellow friend Guy. Escher, Guile, and Haggar devise a plan to put Ken and Ryu undercover to infiltrate the gang and discover the whereabouts of Jessica, but Cody takes exception to this as he constantly screams at everyone in protest, nearly jeopardizing the entire plan. The four fighters encounter the Mad Gear gang's big boss, Belger, within the group's headquarters and an intense fight soon happens. Ryu and Ken, along with Cody and Guy, are able to battle against Belger, Rolento and his foot-soldiers in the end, the quartet defeats Belger and saves Jessica from the imminent danger while Haggar himself enters into the situation at the very end by breaking a door down.
Behind the Scenes[]
- Haggar is not depicted as a street fighting vigilante in this series, but he still keeps the same story from the games as a former Muscle Bomber turned Metro City Mayor with his super strength.
- The primary Mad Gear members from the game who made no appearance whatsoever are Poison, Axl, Two P, Bill Bull, Edi. E, and Abigail, while the Holly Wood foot-soldiers do make an unnamed appearance.
- Guy's opponent in the ring looks similar to the Marvel Comics superhero, the Incredible Hulk.
- The punk hairdos of Ryu and Ken resembles that of both Hanzo Hattori and Fuuma Kotaro from the World Heroes series by ADK.
- Belger crashing through the top-floor window is similar to the ending of the first Final Fight game. However, instead of falling to his death, Belger's underpants snag on a flagpole and he is left dangling helplessly.
