Over several games, manga, cartoons, and comics Capcom officially connected the characters, and events featured in Street Fighter, Final Fight, Muscle Bomber / Slam Masters, and Rival Schools games. So the studio relabeled it Final Fight, and started work on an actual Street Fighter II which was released in 1991. Arcade owners liked the concept, but they also wanted to see a formal one-vs-one fighting game as well. Plus a big wrestler named Mike Haggar to round out the lineup. The team wanted to replace Ken, and Ryu with Cody, and Guy respectively. The success of Double Dragon made Capcom want to make their own version of a brawler. It was originally called Street Fighter ’89. I like to remind new fans of the fighting game genre that Final Fight was released after Street Fighter. You may or may not know that I am a huge fan of the Final Fight series. I wanted to take a moment, and talk a little bit about some of the other things that were shown in the first trailer. Thank you to everyone that visited the blog as I went through all of the formerly announced, and leaked characters in Street Fighter 6.
