Final Fight/Characters

Playable Characters

Guy

Guy is the fastest, but the weakest. He can perform the off-the-wall jump.

Cody

Cody is balanced, making this player an excellent choice for beginners. He can hold onto the knife he's carrying (only when the knife is flashing red while near an enemy).

Haggar

Haggar is the strongest, but the slowest of the player characters. He can perform the piledriver by going near the enemy, and push Jump then Attack button.

Enemies

Bred, Dug, Jake and Simons

They serve as the game's standard thug characters. They are dressed in matching pants and tanktops (with vests for Jake and Simons), with Bred dressed in gray, Dug in red-orange, Jake in blue, and Simons in gold. They have no distinguishing characteristic or attack other than their ability to push oildrums. Jake and Simons also has the ability to jump kick. Bred appears in the first bonus round after the player trashes his car (in the GBA version, a palette swap of Dug in a grey outfit appears instead of Bred).

J and Two. P

A pair of punks dressed in baggy pants and jackets. J is dressed in yellow and blue and has an atomic biohazard symbol on his back, while Two. P wears orange and green and has a dragon symbol on his back. They tend to strike when the player has their back turn on one of them.

Axl and Slash

A pair of bikers who share their names with Axl and Slash respectively of Guns N' Roses. They are the only enemy characters that block the player's attacks. They loosely resemble their real life counterparts, with Axl having blond shoulder-length hair and red bandanna, while Slash has black curly hair. Axl wears a grey uniform, and Slash wears brown.

Holly Wood and El Gado

A pair of knife-wielding fighters dressed in camouflage garb and ski caps. Their fighting style is described in one of the Japanese manuals as being based on dancing. Their most powerful attack is the jumping knife strike. Holly Wood wears orange, and El Gado wears yellow. There are versions of Holly Wood dressed in red that often shows up to throw Molotov cocktails at the player.

Bill Bull, G. Oriber and Wong Who

A trio of obese men. Their attacks consist of a charging headbutt and a kick. Bill Bull wears grey pants, G. Oriber wears blue pants and Wong Who wears green pants. According to the manual for the Japanese Super Famicom version, G. Oriber stands for "Graham Oriber".

Poison and Roxy

Two scantily clad male transvestites (or newhalfs) with gymnast-style attacks. Poison has pink hair and wears pink cheeky shorts, a white tanktop cut just below her breasts, and a matching black hat an high heels. Roxy is a palette swap who has orange hair and wears red cheeky shorts. When the arcade version of Final Fight was under development by Capcom, the game was planned to include female enemies, but were revised into male transvestites after a suggestion that "hitting women was considered rude" in America. When an American playtester working for Capcom reviewed the content of the SNES version, he was informed by one of the designers that the "female characters" the player fought were really transvestites. Thus, Poison and Roxy were replaced by two mundane male punks named Billy and Sid in the SNES port (as well as in the later GBA port).

Andore

A pro-wrestling thug modeled after André the Giant. He wears a shocking pink-colored leopard-print outfit and attacks with pro wrestling techniques, including a charge attack, a pile drive and choke attack. He has numerous palette-swapped counterparts in the game, with Andore Jr. (dressed in red) appearing alongside him in nearly every instance. Grandfather (blue) and Father (yellow) appear as sub-bosses in the second level of Round 3, along with Uncle (dark grey) who appears only when there is a second player.
