He hooked up with poison years later just kidding
I hope he gets Jessica back
@@HeavenlyZanpakuto Hi daddy
Hey, Top Hat Gaming Man. How about you do a Street Fighter character documentary video on Dhalsim?
@@devingiles6597 I love indian men 🥰
Cody was my favorite SFA character.
"I have spent years harnessing chi into a powerful blast"
"I will throw a rock. "
Cody canonically being the strongest character in street fighter is amazing to me. Like he has no chi at all it’s just pure brawling.
I like that he kept the cuffs on to make it fair for his opponent.
Other fighters using chi or magic
Cody: I just throw rocks.
I actually like that they took risks with Cody's story and not just give him a cliche hero arc.
Yeah, it's pretty cool. I guess they had to be a bit creative bearing in mind if they didn't, him and Ken would have been too similar in my opinion.
@@TopHatGamingManChannel Yea great point. Would have been redundant. Not only would they look the same, they would both have to be the babyface.
@@TopHatGamingManChannel would have been cool to see cody take on ken over eliza. May the best ladies’ man win.
@@dbycrash Naw Cody aint a home wrecker. Ken been had a baby with Eliza
Cody could save his girl...
Cody could save the city...
But the one thing Cody could never save was himself.
whatever...
Ironic.
Classic Cody
Cody the only character that actually street fights
What about Birdie?
Hugo
@@robertmatthews9650 One may be able to argue that Hugo is a dirty pro wrestler by the time he comes to the Street Fighter tournaments.
Guys,
I think the point is that he's saying Cody is the dirtiest brawler out of all street fighters.
Rolento, Birdie, Cody & Guy.
I think my all-time favorite fourth wall break Capcom has ever put in their games is Cody's super from Alpha 3. He throws punches behind himself at the same intervals that gave you an infinite in the original Final Fight.
It's just a beautiful nod to the actual gamer player base, and I love it.
It is also why I dislike how later versions of the move remove the turn around.
There were lots of 4th wall breaking win quotes in alpha 3 one with Sakura, Dan and even Cody
Cody's story is incredibly tragic as he got screwed for just being the hero. I'm glad he's got his groove back ( in charge of Metro City no less) but still sad Jessica isn't in his life. I'm still shocked Capcom got dark and turned on their main hero for over 20 years.
I'm not. They've done Guile dirty for years, what made any characters outside of RE and Street Fighter safe from their utter lack of care?
He's a bigger man now without her. Her loss.
@@mr.awesome6011 True that!
@@mr.awesome6011 Theres a theory that marlowe is jessica but going under a new name.
@@mr.awesome6011 Hey everyone enjoying the content 😘
Great video. There's a couple obscure tidbits about Cody:
1. Cody in SFA3 was originally supposed to be the return of Joe (SF1 character) but for whatever reason, Cody was brought back instead. There were rumors that Joe was supposed to be the main character of Street Fighter '89, but then became Cody, which is why they share a couple moves. A much later interview stated that it was Ryu and Ken who were supposed to be the main characters of SF89.
2. Cody didn't have a last name for a long time, until Streetwise, where it was stated to be Travers. Capcom Japan actually went ahead and made that last name canon as of SFV. They did the same thing with Charlie, where his Japanese name (Nash) was never considered to be his last name until SFV released.
3. An issue of the SF comic had Cody make reference to how many enemies he could fight at once in whatever port of Final Fight (he says something like "it doesn't matter whether there's 2 of you, 6 of you, or 8 of you, I'll take you on!") He mentions it as a fourth wall thing. I can't remember what issue it was off the top of my head.
I was actually just about to bring up the first bit. It's very interesting how closely connected Cody and Joe actually were in the early stages of Final Fight/SFA3's development. Kinda makes me wonder what would've happened if it was Joe in that jumpsuit and not Cody.
Cody's character arc is a fascinating one. Final Fight's legacy is wild. So awesome to see his redemption.
Cody's most iconic moment:
"You...hurt...my...TESTICLE!!!"
"Shows up in a black n white jumpsuit." I must be color blind.
what i thought lol
Cody is my all time favourite character in street fighter I like his fighting style, I like his outfits (especially the prison uniform with cuffs and Adidas superstars). Though Cody does seem to have martial arts training. He is the purest manifestation of a street fighter. He has the awareness of environmental advantages like weapons. He just wants a good scrap. I like his walk/idle animations he looks bored but will curbstomp you any time.
His redemption arc where he is the new mayor of metro city is well deserved.
Wow! I never realized Cody's back story was that expanded. I'm impressed!
Am I the only one who wants Maki to return in a Street Fighter game?
I thought she came back in one of the handheld ports of SFA3.
Her only Street Fighter game is Alpha 3 MAX but she should return hopefully in VI she's in or at least DLC she should have returned in IV her story revolves around Guy.
@@powerninjasuperior482 she also has an appearance in Capcom vs snk 2. And she is playable
8:06 that ridiculous SS4 Goku Final Bout combo
11:38 Cody looks better than ever in Street Fighter 5.
Speaking of Streets Of Fire, that's an awesome film and after watching it I see the similarities between it and the beat em up classics of the 80s.
0:02 "I can smoke stogies in my house... because I'm a stud, I'm ballsy, I don't take no sh*t from anyone, I smoke my stogie anywhere I want, I don't have to find a hideout place like YOU ! HO HO HO" moment
A lot of people don't believe me when I say that Final Fight was supposed to be Street Fighter successor, Street Fighter '89. That's why a lot of the FF characters make random appearances. Sodom and Rolento made early appearances, Hugo and Poison in some later games (Hugo was in SF3)Lucia showed up in 5 but sadly Maki only made an appearance in CvS2 (she was my favorite and hopeful she'll return in SF6).
But yes, Cody is awesome! Definitely one of the better Capcom characters.
Another great video, kind of unexpected, but now that it's here it makes so much sense that you tackle this character's histoyr. You'r doing such an amazing job, thx and keep that shit up! =)
Cody’s SF4 theme song is fucking badass
This should be called: FROM CONVICT TO MAYOR - THE CODY STORY. Never knew Cody, Guy & Hagger was in a fighting game back in the day.
What a great and informative video on Cody as a character. However I feel like you also left out the fun fact that Cody is one of the strongest characters in Street Fighter and the reason he used to wear the handcuffs is as a handicap. If he wasn’t holding back, he could potentially beat Akuma and Oni lol
Cody canonically one of the strongest character in street fighter is insane.
Cody is my favorite character in SF and this was a good video for a breakdown of his history. Honestly at the time seeing a character so devoted to justice get framed and lose everything, which causes him to fall down a nihilistic depression spiral was depressing. Thankfully Cody never lost that sense of justice no matter how much he tried to hide it and Mike would fix things and save Cody, resulting in him becoming mayor. (hopefully one day Guy will get see his efforts were not in vain) SFV does make one make one strange albeit major change not covered here Lucia and Cody apparently fought the Mad Gear together at one point and now are old friends.
My favorite character in the street fighter verse. Glad to see story arc at its proper conclusion.
Well, Cody did go on a killing spree whilst dumpster diving across town. He even vandalized some poor geezer’s new car. Knocking a helpless cripple out of a window of a skyscraper was just pure evil.
Trash can chicken is a helluva drug.
I remember playing final fight at a restaurant I went to as a kid. The cabinet is long gone but the place is still there and I remember playing it on the snes and then later on when I got a psone and Alpha 3 reading online how it was the same guy as before. Love this character
I Like Cody Travers He is My Favourite Final Fight Character and Street Fighter I Played Cody Travers since Final Fight 1
Same
I only play street fighter now a days to play as final fight characters.
Same! Thankfully V seems to be setting up a new beat em up story for Cody and Lucia. While also retconing the two into knowing each other some how. Possibly Lucia was off screen in Revenge if I had to guess.
Cody having a bare knuckle brawling brother named KYLE is HILARIOUS hahaha
Big thanks for making all these videos. You are so studious
Ive rapidly become a fan of final fight, as i mained haggar in both of his MVC games and he is just so cool
I appreciated Top Hat
Gaming for using my custom figures work as reference in your Final Fight documentary serie. 👍👊💥💥💥
Can you do a video on Gen plz
It's ironic Final Fight was called street fighter 89 at first. He was an iconic character in final fight. I would say he is one of the first original Street Fighter characters. Hes the first son of the Street Fighter Legacy
Cody a felon how he still become a mayor or I missing something?
He eventually reformed because metro city needed him. He stills misses pit figthing.
@@Invidente7 legally you can not run for mayor if are a convicted felon
Because Haggar got old… He gave Cody a pardon because he maintained a fighting spirit plus do a better job of cleaning up Metro City using the fear criminals had of him.
If Street Fighter 6 is the future, then Kyle needs to make a 2nd appearance, it just sucks that streetwise got bashed into the ground on release back in the day I actually enjoyed his moves/instinct mechanic
It was a decent enough game.
I still don't get why everyone hated it so much. It was decently made for the series and the story wasn't over the top.
I grew up in the 90s so I really appreciate this video 🔥🔥🔥
Cody went from
Hero
Prisoner
Mayor
I love the final fight music in the background
Now we ask Capcom to revive Dean and see what he's been up to
This is something Capcom almost did, until Final Fight: Seven Sons failed to impress focus groups
hi. love the videos but I have to add that cody's canon reason is that he relentlessly fought until he got setup in a fight by poison and framed him
Do you have a video about Mike Haggar's wrestling career on Saturday night Slam masters?
👍 love your choice in adding the final fight cd soundtrack in your video
I didn't know that Top Hat gaming man and lady decade were together both of their channels are freaking awesome
its funny how guy fights in part one for his friends chick, in part 3 to help haggar, but not part 2 when his own chick gets kidnapped
this guy went for jailbird to mayor ok then
Oh yeah. I just remembered that. Lol
I always assumed because Cody's specialty was knives he must've killed someone in in final fight since his next appearance was in Alpha 3 I thought that's why he was in jail, I like that story better than Eddie E framing him
Cody was always one of my favorites! 👍
His story strikes me as a fight between capcom not knowing what to do with him and players wanting to keep him. Not a consistent one at all 😅 😅
I read somewhere that there's a theory that Marlowe is actually Jessica Haggar in disguise, keeping an eye on Cody as mayor at her father's direction. Any solid evidence for this?
Peoples simp fanfiction
Good shit!
Final Fight was my favorite arcade game as a kid and Cody’s been my main character in SF since Alpha 3.
I knew Streetwise existed but never played it. Never knew the story details or that it was non-canon. Gonna have to track down a copy just to see Cody Death for myself. 😂
Go to prison, breaks out of prison, becomes a mayor. Ok check. Lol
Cody, Guy, Poison, Hagar, and Rose should have been the "Final Challegers" in SF2 Ultra instead of just evil Ryu and Ken.
Thanks Mr top hat
Hey, Top Hat Gaming Man! Can you please do a Street Fighter character documentary video on Sakura Kasugano?
Yall should check out a lofi hip hop artist named ruffian kick named after one of codys signature moves in sfa. Hes super dope
I been waiting for this video
Cody was one of my mains in ALPHA III
A question I never knew I wanted an answer to. Time to binge
So Cody can risk his life saving shawty but she can't stick with him through his bid.. Man these ho£$ ain't loyal
No mention of Alina complimenting his inner power? Perhaps he has chi and a potential affinity for dark hadou.
Should of been in the vs games. Same alpha 3 sprite, but with his classic gear on
Not the biggest Cody fan but Street Fighter Alpha 3 is the 🐐 Street Fighter.
one of the best backstory for a FF/SF character 😘
I liked GUY a little better. It was something about his gear. (red jumpsuit & sneakers)
You forgot his prison costume in resident evil 0
Its time for a new final fight game it's way overdue just like Streets of Rage 4 whoever did Streets of Rage 4 can definitely do a new final fight but it would be awesome to see the characters from Streets of Rage DLC for Street Fighter sometime in the near future. here's the issue I'm having being a gamer all these years and Double Dragon final fight and Streets of Rage have not crossed paths and entered each other's universe
Cody Rhodes always cosplaying Mayor Cody in AEW.
Boy this was amazingly indepth 👍👍👍🤔🤔
Cody Travers may also have been inspired by John Travers, an Australian murderer, convicted in the mid-80s who also used knives.
He was only given a last night for Streetwise and bearing his portrayal in mind for that game, that would not surprise me at all.
Cody, the Human Saiyan.
Metro city was always Chicago in the back of my mind
One of my faves on SFA3. A lot of people would say he's B-tier at best, I disagree. He's solid A class if you know his tricks & get your timing right.
Hi Sebastian.
About Cody's apparences in games, I 'm wondering for years if we can see him and Jessica in the T Hawk stage.
I mean, on the right we can see a couple on the cart with the horses.
Could it be them?
Well, since 1994 when I played it in game center I always thinked that they are cameos .
What about you?
Anyway, Keep doing the good job Sebastian, your videos and also those of your wife are pretty greats.
Jibé from France.
Mike Haggar cleaning up crime-also heavily abusing illegal steroids
If like to see Eddie E as a SF6 character
Dear any update about new Final Fight game ؟
Dam Cody resembles me in life right now 😂😂
Also my bad did it even say why Cody is in jail/prison...
Ah nvm...a corrupt officer arrested him
Correction: the GBA port of Final Fight was called Final Fight One, not Final Fight Zero.
Turn da beat back
Quite the story he has.
14:32
Knuckles & Knuckles moment
He's no longer living the Suite Life.
Wait.
Codys life and physical condition was improved by years of taking drugs?
That God that parts not canon
Then Street Fighter 5 Clean his Image as the Mayor of Metro City.
Does he any connection with Guy when he's Mayor in SF5?
Clearly It Was Blue & White & Purple & White 😂😂😂
The capcom underrated protagonist
REAL STREETFIGHTER FROM FINAL FIGHT
Mike should've taught his daughter how to fight, bad father. Adam taught his daughter and she even came to rescue him
YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHH Cody
the only one to handicap himself side from Oro. would have been epic but SFV dropped the ball
What happened to guy?
Lowkey my main
Poor guy lmao bro was just dying to be a homie 😂
Cody just got addicted to the action.
His secretary has the cake 🎂
When are you going to make a video about Guy?
Eventually, Ill leave it a while though as obviously his story is very intertwined with Cody's. So much of it is told within this video.
