No.....

God Hand, Spike Out, Viewtiful Joe, and even Urban Reign are better 3D Final Fight games than Streetwise.
That game legit killed the franchise, lol.

But man, I think Capcom is screwing up by not making a new Final Fight. Especially with Yakuza and some 3d beat em ups being so popular. Them also having DMC under their belt, I think there'd be a lot of cross pollination from a bunch of different game communities.

Street Fighter 6's World Tour Mode is basically modern Final Fight combined with Yakuza/LAD. World Tour is Final Fight 4. Though yes, I wouldn't mind a 2D throwback or 3D mainline game.

Yakuza Pirate is an absolutely insane as hell game where you can do hyper Armor EWGF against a weab samurai in Hawaii and Juggle Extend him to the Shadow Realm with 2 pirate swords, a hook and shadow clones. This game, combat wise, is ACTUALLY what I have always been wanting to see from the series. Crumple States are great for combo extensions or crowd control, dodging and blocking correctly give good reward, but don't mitigate the game into "just wait to counter and kill them" type of situations you see in most of the games.

Majima himself feels super nimble, can really move around the environment with ease, and basically can cancel anything into dash or Jump. His jump and dash cancels aren't probably all that optimal when you consider his extended ground combos, but they are REALLY good at getting you out of sticky situations if need be. Currently right now, my only complaint is that you don't really get punished for jumping in the air much. Game could use an SOR4 Donovan for this.

But man, color me with all the colors of the rainbow and then some with how excited I am for this game! This definitely gonna be one of the best games in the series, if not, THE best.

That good, huh? Well, as a fan of the Yakuza series for a while now, I'll definitely have to remember to grab this once I'm finished with Elden Ring.

I didn't know about this. Rushing Beat X was featured at the Taipei Game Show on January 25th. Still no official release date though. At least we know Double Dragon Revive is coming out this year in October.
