As much as I loved the original Final Fight, even on SNES, I have yet to put much into the sequels. I think it is because my go to guy, Cody, was not in them. Haggar makes the original too easy, Cody seemed like a good balance and well, Guy was simply not available in the first SNES release (though renting Final Fight Guy showed, at least for me, Capcom did it right the first time).

I need to sit down and play the sequels one day. Wonderful review, you reminded me I need to play this and the third at some point.
