Yoshiki Okamoto
Yoshiki Okamoto cites the arcade version of "" as his basis for "Final Fight". "Final Fight" was originally shown at trade shows under the title of Street Fighter '89 (Japanese:ストリートファイター'89 Hepburn: Sutorīto Faitā '89). According to Okamoto, the sales division of Capcom originally requested a "Street Fighter" sequel, so his team decided to promote "Final Fight" as a "Street Fighter" sequel at trade shows (going as far to refer to one of the main characters as a "former Street Fighter"). The title was changed to "Final Fight" before its official release after feedback from operators stating that the game was nothing like "Street Fighter".
