History Trivia / FinalFight

* NoExportForYou: Despite being made by an American studio, ''Revenge'''s Saturn port never got released outside of Japan due to both being shipped very late very in the console's lifespan and Capcom of America's reluctance to sell Saturn games that required one of the RAM expansion cartridges.

* DivorcedInstallment: This is the reason it has a SharedUniverse with ''Franchise/StreetFighter''. The first game was originally supposed to be a sequel to ''VideoGame/StreetFighterI 1'', but became its own thing when the dev team realized it bore too little resemblance to the latter.

** When asked about her, Yoshinori Ono said Capcom doesn't have an official policy to what Poison's sex is, stating that in North America, she is a post-op transsexual, but in Japan, she is a pre-op transsexual/futanari/newhalf who "tucks her business away to look female". However, this seemed to have changed when ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'' made some transgender references regarding Poison in some characters' win quotes. As a result, Capcom received angry complaints from a LGBT group accusing them of being transphobic. Capcom would later change these winquotes into something less offensive. Additionally, Ono retracted his previous statement regarding Poison.
** Akira Nishitani, one of the developers who worked on the original ''Final Fight'', believes that Poison's sex is up to the player to decide.

* NamesTheSame:
** Poison shares her name with [[VideoGame/DMCDevilMayCry a disgusting 1200 year old succubus working for Mundus]].
** Retu shares his name with the Japanese Shaolin monk from the original ''VideoGame/{{Street Fighter|I}}'' (although, technically that was Ret''s''u; it's really the same name in Japanese, but with different [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseRomanization romanizations]]).
** Handsome Bob, with Handsome Bob of ''Film/RockNRolla''.
** Metro City, which shares its name with the city from... [[WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget many]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}} many]], ''[[WesternAnimation/AstroBoy many]]'' [[VideoGame/{{Nightshade}} works]] [[WesternAnimation/DoubleDragon1993 of fiction]].
** The Undercode song "Final Fight" is unrelated to this game... as it was in the ''VideoGame/SeriousSam3BFE'' soundtrack.

** Metro City, which shares its name with the city from... [[WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget many]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}} many]], ''[[WesternAnimation/AstroBoy many]]'' [[VideoGame/{{Nightshade}} works]] [[WesternAnimation/DoubleDragon of fiction]].

* BTeamSequel: As with a lot of Capcom's other late-cycle SNES games, ''Final Fight 3'' was farmed out to an uncredited outside developer, Oersted, as Capcom were in the middle of transitioning their development hardware from 16-bit to 32-bit.

* CreatorKiller: The critical and commercial failure of ''Streetwise'' led to the shutdown of Capcom Production Studio 8 in 2006.

* DuelingGames: With ''[[VideoGame/StreetsOfRage Streets of Rage]]''.

* FranchiseKiller: ''Streetwise'' sold and was received poorly, spelling an end to ''Final Fight'' as a standalone franchise. Some of the more popular characters (Guy, Cody, Haggar, Maki, Poison, Rolento, etc.) began making appearances in the ''Street Fighter'' series as early as ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha''.

** Poison shares her name with [[VideoGame/DmCDevilMayCry a disgusting 1200 year old succubus working for Mundus.]]
** Retu shares his name with the Japanese Shaolin monk from the original ''VideoGame/{{Street Fighter|I}}'' (although, technically that was Ret''s''u, it's really the same name in Japanese, but with different romanizations).

** Metro City, which shares its name with the city from...[[WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget many]], [[WesternAnimation/MegaMind many]], ''[[WesternAnimation/AstroBoy many]]'' [[VideoGame/NightShade works]] [[WesternAnimation/DoubleDragon of fiction]].

** For years, it has been speculated that there was a ''Final Fight'' animated series with Creator/TheOceanGroup doing the voice work much like they did for ''WesternAnimation/MegaManRubySpears'', ''WesternAnimation/StreetFighter'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Darkstalkers}}''. Sites like IMDB even used to have a full voice cast for the show. It's uncertain whether the show never existed, a PilotEpisode was produced but went into obscurity like ''WesternAnimation/{{Battletoads}}'', or if the series was planned but never materialized. Granted the ''Street Fighter'' animated series did end up having a ''Final Fight'' episode but still.
** Fans reached a general consensus that the first game was inspired by ''Film/StreetsOfFire'', given its similar plot and character names, but according to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxUB8rdmJxU this]] video the game's producer had never even heard of the movie.
** ''Streetwise''[='=]s poor sales is [[CreatorKiller the reason Capcom Studio 8 was shut down]]. It's unknown if that's truly the case, though even if it isn't, it certainly didn't help the studio.
* PortOverdosed: In close competition with ''VideoGame/DoubleDragon'' for the title of "most-ported beat 'em up ever". Almost every contemporary home computer and console had a version, and Capcom has frequently re-released it since then, too.
* SignificantReferenceDate: The amount of points the player gets when picking up Edi.E's gum at full health is 42910. This number forms a date: 42, September 10th. Said date is developer Akira Nishitani's birthday, but the 42 doesn't refer to the Gregorian year 1942, but "Showa 42" (which is actually 1967).

*** The developers of ''Streetwise'' are said to have wanted to develop a game in the style of the original games, only to have changed it at [[ExecutiveMeddling Capcom USA's insistence]] to make it more like ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto''.
*** Vanessa was supposed to be a playable character in the story mode of ''Streetwise''.
*** Poison and Sodom were supposed to be included in ''Streetwise''. Concept art shows Sodom sporting a more modernized version of his attire (namely ragged jeans).
* WordOfGod: The ''Street Fighter V Character Encyclopedia'' entry on "Two P" suggests The Unknown Soldier Red in ''VideoGame/ForgottenWorlds'' becomes the enemy "Two P."
* WriterConflictsWithCanon: The explanation that the enemy Two P is Unknown Soldier Red from ''VideoGame/ForgottenWorlds'' makes less sense when there are multiple Two P enemies.
