The Final Fight universe was later folded over into the Street Fighter canon when characters from Final Fight started to appear in the Street Fighter series. As such, the game was originally known as Street Fighter '89, but had its title changed before release when the game ended up becoming a side-scrolling beat 'em up and not a competitive Fighting Game. note This was more than a year before Street Fighter II. The game's development contains some interesting tidbits: The people in charge of Capcom at the time requested a sequel to Street Fighter.

The game has life meters not only for the heroes, but also for the villains. Haggar teams up with Jessica's martial artist boyfriend Cody and his sparring partner Guy, a ninjutsu master seeking to test his skills and also himself a friend of Jessica, so that they can save the city and Jessica.

In the original game, the Mad Gear gang kidnaps Jessica, the daughter of Mike Haggar, former pro wrestler and current mayor of Metro City, because Haggar would not turn a blind eye to their dominance of the city's underworld as the previous mayor had.

Luke is especially important, as we also saw him running around Metro City in what looked like a third-person, action-oriented Story Mode. Finally there’s Jamie, who fights with break-dancing and made us all think he was Deejay at first.

Luke, who was introduced to close out Street Fighter 5, has the marquee spot Capcom already alluded to. Chun-Li and Ryu are obvious contenders, and we got a real look at Ryu’s new design and/or Fist of the North Star cosplay.

There’s a lot to unpack, but with a 2023 release window there’s plenty of time to digest it all. A brief but jam-packed video packaged introduced the whole vibe of Street FIghter 6, from its urban street art-inspired visual accents to a new character and what looked like a new approach to Story Mode.

Turns out it was saving up for a State of Play reveal. After a teaser trailer and weird logo controversy, we haven’t heard much about Street Fighter 6 from Capcom.
