Final Fight 3, known in Japan as Final Fight Tough (ファイナルファイトタフ, Fainaru Faito Tafu?), produced by Tokuro Fujiwara, is the fifth game in the Final Fight series.

Super Nes - Final Fight 3 Intro

Like Final Fight 2, Final Fight 3 was exclusively for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in 1995, and was not released in arcades. This game introduces two new characters; Dean and Lucia Morgan. In Japan, the game is scheduled for release in December 2009 on the Wii's Virtual Console.

Story

Following the Mad Gear Gang's defeat in Final Fight 2, a gang war erupted in Metro City with the Skull Cross Gang eventually reigning supreme. Guy returns to Metro City following his training and meets with Mayor Haggar. The Skull Cross Gang then detonates a bomb and incites a riot in downtown Metro City, freeing their leader Marshal Black, from prison. Joined by female police officer Lucia Morgan and a mysterious street fighter named Dean, Guy and Haggar fight to take down the new gang of criminals. On the rooftop of the Skull Cross Gang's headquarters, Guy managed to defeat and kill Black by hitting him through the electric generator, ending their crimes.

Characters

• Guy
• Mike Haggar
• Dean - He is a street fighter who can use electricity as a weapon. He wears a white sleeveless T-shirt with black pants, headband, harness and boots. When the Skull Cross Gang terrorizes the city in place of the now defunct Mad Gear Gang, Dean was one of the people they wanted in their group. While having extensive knowledge of the gang, Dean declined their offer. Stray and the gang maliciously murders his family and the grief-stricken Dean now seeks to avenge their deaths. He carries a picture of his family wherever he goes. Many of his attacks have led to rumors of him possibly being a cyborg, but Capcom has neither confirmed nor denied this fact. His super move, the Electric Slam, consists of Dean grabbing the opponent as his rises into the air, and slamming them into the ground in an electrically-charged burst of energy.

• Lucia Morgan - A detective in the Metro City SCU (Special Crimes Unit), Lucia has very long, slender and muscular legs and short, blonde hair. She wears a fighting police outfit consisting of a blue sports bra with a brown vest and gloves, denim shorts, and tennis shoes. Her eyes are brown in the cutscenes, but her sprite is blue-eyed. There exists official artwork of Lucia, along with other women, doing aerobics with Chun-Li, which suggests that the two may be friends. The fact that both of them are detectives and the resemblance of her moves to Chun-Li's signature move, Hyakuretsu Kyaku hints that Lucia may have been a student under Chun-Li. Her super move culminates with an impressive and highly damaging flaming kick. Lucia interrupts Haggar as he's talking with Guy, and joins up with them to defeat the Skull Cross Gang as thanks for Haggar previously clearing her of a false corruption charge. She's an old friend of Cody's, too.

• Andore
• Ray/Billy - A basic member of the Skull Cross gang that attacks with a three-hit combo punch.

• Dirk/Rick - A typically weak punk from the Skull Cross gang. However, this particular member has Wolverine-like metal claws.

• Fat Jack/Arby - Football player-style Skull Cross member who comes running from one side of the screen to the other like a juggernaut.

• Hunter - A tall man that wears a hockey mask and baseball cap and walks in a hunched over, shuffling gait. He boasts a basic punch attack as well as a slide attack, but his most powerful attack is a slow, powerful swing from the baseball bat he keeps strapped to his back which can take out almost all of the player's health in a single strike.

• May - Female ninja-like Skull Cross member who slices with a kunai attached at her wrist. She will backflip out of harm's way when attacked.

• Fritz - Another one of those classic Final Fight punks that run by, tossing molotov cocktails and leaving a fiery mess in their wake.

• Dave - A renegade cop who has crossed over to the Skull Cross gang. Wielding a billy club, his deadliest attack is the Giant Jump. He is similar in appearance to Edi E. He was defeated by Lucia.

• Callman - The head waiter of "Creep Eats", a barbecue joint located in the back streets of Metro City. He was defeated by Lucia.

• Drake - This mad fisherman, dressed in a blue tanktop, blue jeans, a blue sailor hat and brown boots, attacks with a big anchor. He is in charge of the gang's weapon shipment from his boat "Sims". He was defeated by Dean.

• Caine - The gang's mechanic. Caine attacks the player with a gigantic wrench in an abandoned bus yard, but this large boss is nearsighted and slow-moving. He was defeated by Guy.

• Wong - This boss has a long ponytail with no other hair on his head. Wears a green cloth, brown shorts, brown boots, silver wrist guards, a brown strap to hold his top, and has a set of beads on his hand. He was defeated by Guy.

• Stray - Stray, the penultimate boss of the game, moves fast, jumping and striking with lightning speed. Armed with spiked knuckles, Stray wears a green trenchcoat with purple pants, gloves and a spiky mohawk. He was responsible for the slaughter of Dean's family. Dean defeated and killed him.

• Black - Black is the leader of the Skull Cross Gang and the final boss of the game. He looks very much like Fist of the North Star villain, The Colonel, with his clothes, red beret, scars and eyepatch, and borrows his jacket bursting action from the series main character, Kenshiro. He uses a flogging whip as his main weapon, occasionally throws knives, and possesses a spinning attack that is similar to Haggar's "Lariat", and a ki attack similar to Guy's "Palm Blast Attack".
