Final Fight - Sega CD vs Arcade

[Edmond Dantes]

So recently, I played the arcade version of Final Fight.

Here's the thing though... I went through, and said "You know, I remember the Sega CD version being a lot more fun."

Is my memory playing tricks on me, or was the Sega CD version actually better somehow than the arcade?

The music's better. Otherwise the arcade version is better.

That being said, of the original North American console ports, I love the Sega CD version the most. It's actually in my CDX more than any other game

[Duke.Togo]

I feel the same. The Sega CD version is the best. I've never done a hard comparison and have no doubt that the CPS hardware is more powerful, but I like the CD soundtrack.

i gotta agree with all this final fight cd love going on in here.

[T2KFreeker]

Final Fight CD is awesome. Nothing much more to say.

Final Fight CD is a lot of fun to play. You might remember it being slightly easier than the arcade version due to amount of enemies onscreen being limited to 4. Although interestingly enough your character does less damage on the enemies than on the SNES and Arcade versions. As previously mentioned, the Sega CD version has the superior music, and its got an animated intro with the bad voice acting typical of the era. :-)

The only thing I don't like about the Sega CD port is the mild censorship.

Agreed, but its much better than the other North American ports.

At least Poison exists even if you can't see her underboob!

(and yes, I said HER damnit)

[skaar]

But we still get Haggar's full boob.

Is this fair?

[c0ldb33r]

I just want to add, I really enjoy the SCD version, as much if not more than the arcade version, but I recognize that the arcade one is technically better.

Play the SCD version with a genesis joystick and not regular controller, makes it much better

BTW, this is not a man. I refused to believe.

[Edmond Dantes]

Yeah, with that rack I can't believe that's a man either.

So wait, that girl's gender is in doubt? Since when?

[Baloo]

So wait, that girl's gender is in doubt? Since when?

Since back in the day when the creator of the game issued a statement when Nintendo decided to take Poison out of the game because she was a girl, that she was actually a transvestite so it was alright to beat her up.

From Wikipedia-

Street Fighter IV's producer Yoshinori Ono, when asked in an interview about the matter, stated "Let's set the record straight: In North America, Poison is officially a post-op transsexual. But in Japan, she simply tucks her business away to look female."

I also agree Sega Cd version bests the Snes version, but not the arcade.

SegaCD version is great. But so is underboobs. Man or not, it's still boobs.
