Hello and welcome to



Final Fight "Streetwise" is a 3D "beat-em-up" made by famous Puzzle Fighter Turbo developer "Capcom". Final Fight "Streetwise" is the final game in the popular Final Fight franchise, and it is a mess. It's a game that, while it works, is overloaded with mini-games and a surprisingly decent hip-hop ruined by lovely metal. The back of the box for the European release of Final Fight "Streetwise" promises tracks from MF Doom and RZA but snatches that hope away by providing one track which is just a collab. You also don't play as Mike Haggar, the only Final Fight character people care about. It's a grim and gritty story that handles the grim and gritty aspects with all the subtlety of a Tom and Jerry episode. It is a mess. It is a mistake. I love this game. Welcome to the LP.



The "LP" of Final Fight "Streetwise" will be as following: my fellow fighter friends killeremcee, ChorpSaway and a_raving_loon will join me on this journey. Cut and Uncut video will be provided as usual. We'll be covering most of the sidequests this game has, unless they're minigames in which case they're only shown off once.

There will also be some thread participation, watch to the end of the first video to see what you can do! Good entries will be featured at the end of future updates!

I also ask as a rule to not have any story spoilers, nobody except me commentating knows what's in store for this game.


Hey FutureFriend, ya missed a sidequest, ya dumb oaf!
wow rude, okay first of all, im very smart and not dumb. second of all, this game can be kind of confusing and some of the sidequests are insane to try and find. the only walkthrough of this game i could quickly find never found all the sidequests either!

Hey FutureFriend, you moron stooge, are you going to show off all the upgrades?
first of all there were three stooges and i do not count as one of them. second of all, yes i'll try to. honestly there's not much special to them, they're mostly new combos and extra health so you probably won't notice either way.

Hey FutureFriend, you mondo maroon, are you gonna respect the lore?
Yes.

also is Poison in this game?

poison is not in the game, as this game doesn't seem to remember any of the actual popular final fight characters besides Mike the Wrestler

Toolman, Cut Man, and the Milkman. Are you sure this isn't an edgy Megaman reboot?

just wait until we get toolman's power of talking about how straight edge he is all the time and refusing to listen to anything besides nu-metal

Kyle sounds like a dime-store Solid Snake that takes sidequests from prostitutes. Based on this alone, I already know he's going to show true heroism.

speaking of heroes, here's a true fun fact: the story of final fight streetwise is loosely based on the epic of gilgamesh. there's more comparisons to be seen later but for now; cody travers is based on gilgamesh's companion enkidu as they are both wild men who love to throw down!

It's time to hunt down that stiff jerk and also do the most inefficient stealth section in videogames.

This is the soundtrack for the level:

The metal bands aren't exactly bargain bin bands. Soulfy, Slipknot, Fear Factory... those are some big names. I think everything just sounds lovely in the context of that game.

i think the big problem is, that even if i liked this kind of metal out of the context of the game hip hop is almost entirely the opposite musically, while this sort of music is centered around making loud, memorable instrumentals and for lack of a better term, noise to satisfy the brain, hip-hop is more centered around lyricisms and melodicism. they're just completely at odds with eachother and there isn't much intersection between tastes.

vvv Score Album Track listing:
"Bat Woman" – 2:14 - Played when Frank saw a woman throwing trash.

Bit of wholly unsolicited advice I am sure you are already aware of but for later fights you are going to want to use the lock on function, when locked on if you hit forwards towards the enemy and a punch you will do a slide attack forward that gobbles up a ton of room and allows for quick in and out strikes. This is ~VERY~ important to learn for when you start hitting the cheese bosses.

holy poo poo i played thru the game 3 times and lock on always messed memup enough that i never even knew about this. ive unfortunately already got the game recorded and commentated all the way but holy poo poo this is a goddamn revelation for me
