Unlike the first Final Fight, which started in arcades, the third installment was made for the Super NES from the beginning, and it shows in how much Capcom added. Released in 1995, Final Fight 3 (Final Fight Tough in Japan) brings back Mayor Haggar and Guy and introduces two newcomers, the police officer Lucia and the street fighter Dean, to take on a gang called the Skull Cross in Metro City.
The fighting system borrows from Street Fighter: characters can dash, perform command moves, and build a meter for powerful super attacks. Stages branch into different routes, which encourages repeat runs, and when playing alone you can bring a computer-controlled partner along, something rarely seen in beat 'em ups of the era. Two players can also team up. It arrived late in the console's life, so it is less widely known than its predecessors, but many consider it the strongest Final Fight on the SNES.
Tips for Final Fight 3
Fill the super meter by landing hits, then save the super move for large groups or a boss's attack window.
Try alternate routes on replays; branching paths lead to different stages and fights.
Dashing into a group and following with a combo is safer than waiting for enemies to surround you.
