Protagonists (Heroes)
Maki Genryusai
Origin: Japan
Voiced by: note
Introduced in Final Fight 2, Maki Genryusai is the younger sister of Guy's fiancee Rena and is also trained in the art of the Bushin style. She was once the leader of a biker gang during her high school years. After her sister and father are kidnapped by a revived Mad Gear, Maki enlists the help of Haggar and Carlos to rescue them.
- Action Girl: The first playable female protagonist available in the series.
- Amazonian Beauty: Depending on the Artist. Maki's sprites in Final Fight 2 and SFA3 show her to be lithe, but official art
◊ from FF2 and the Sakura Ganbaru! manga◊ show that Maki has some pretty defined biceps. Additionally, Damnd's ending◊ in Revenge depicts Maki with muscular, Chun-Li-esque legs. - Big Little Sister: Maki is supposed to be younger than Rena, but the official artwork suggests that the former is taller than the latter.
- Badass Biker: She used to be a biker gang leader in the past. Not that you would ever know that without reading it in a manual.
- Breakout Character: A Downplayed example, as besides the core Final Fight heroes, Maki was the only character to directly appear in other Capcom titles as playable beyond The Cameo. Even Carlos only appears as a fightable NPC in Street Fighter 6.
- Crossover: She appeared in Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium and the Game Boy Advance/PSP versions of Street Fighter Alpha 3.
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: The smallest and shortest of the three heroes yet she can toss around thugs three times her size.
- Distaff Counterpart: To Guy in Final Fight 2
- Fragile Speedster: Like Guy, she's the fastest character in the game but she deals the least damage. Also like Guy, her speed and running in general play a big role in her fighting style during her fighting game appearances.
- Gendered Outfit: She wears a gendered version of Guy's Bushin-ryuu gi.
- Highly-Visible Ninja: Like Guy, she wears all red.
- Hurricane Kick: Her Reppūkyaku
- Martial Pacifist: How she's presented in the English versions of Final Fight 2.
- Mukokuseki: She sports tousled locks of wavy blonde hair, despite being Japanese. According to supplemental materials, she actually dyes her hair as a homage to her days as a gang leader.
- Ninja: A member of the Genryusai family, celebrated practitioners of the Bushin-ryuu style.
- Sexy Backless Outfit: Her revealing red dress is exposed from the upper back, showing her well toned back and shoulder muscles.
- Spell My Name With An S: Her surname is normally spelled in Kanji as "源柳斎," however the manual for Final Fight 2 spells it as "源柳斉."
- Spin Attack: Her Reppukyaku.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: To Guy. Justified as she's his sister-in-law, as well as a fellow member of the Bushin clan.
- Vapor Wear: In her first appearance, certain animations make it look like Maki doesn't have panties on◊, and she certainly isn't wearing a bra.
- Wall Jumper: Another move she shares with Guy and like him, it makes sense because she's a ninja.
Carlos Miyamoto
Origin: Brazil
Voiced by: note
Introduced in Final Fight 2, Carlos Miyamoto is a South American swordsman, martial artist and former bodyguard who traveled to Metro City and lives as a lodger with the Haggars. He aids Haggar and Maki in their battle against the Mad Gear gang after they had kidnapped Maki's father and sister.
- But Not Too Foreign: He is of Japanese heritage, but he's from Brazil. Brazil has the largest Japanese population in the world outside of Japan itself, so it's not unusual.
- Implausible Fencing Powers: Despite his experience and love for swords, he only uses it in FF2 for his special move.
- I Owe You My Life: A milder version. He decides to help out Haggar and Maki because he owed some undisclosed debt to both Guy and Haggar.
- Jack of All Stats: Filling in the role for Cody, he is not the fastest or strongest, but he has the right amount of both to be a threat.
- Katanas Are Just Better: Only used for his special.
- Pretty Freeloaders: Off of Haggar initially, he's helping to keep Metro City safe, so that's good enough rent money for Haggar.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: For Cody.
- Western Samurai: He's Japanese-Brazilian and a skilled katana wielder.
Supporting Characters
Rena Genryusai
Origin: Japan
Rena is Guy's fiancée and Genryusai's eldest daughter. Like Genryusai, she is taken captive by Retu during the events of Final Fight 2. Unlike Jessica and her sister, Maki, she and her father haven't appeared since. As of Street Fighter V however, she is still said to be Guy's fiance.
- Damsel in Distress: The objective of the Final Fight 2 is to rescue her and her father from the Mad Gear Gang.
- Satellite Love Interest: All that is known about Rena is that she is Guy's fiancee and Maki's older sister.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: For Jessica Haggar. Both are connected to two Final Fighters, one being their significant other, the other being a family relative. Both have fathers in a position of power, and are kidnapped by the Mad Gear gang.
- Tomboy and Girly Girl: She's the Girly Girl To Maki's Tomboy.
- Unwilling Suspension: How Retu restrained her and her father during the game's final battle.
- Yamato Nadeshiko: She has the looks, talks in polite speech patterns, and wears a dark-colored kimono.
Genryusai
Origin: Japan
Genryusai is Guy's master and the father of Maki and Rena. He is taken captive by Retu and the revived Mad Gear during the events of Final Fight 2. Like Rena, he is never seen again after they were rescued. If, Maki's Capcom vs. SNK 2 text ending treated as canon, then it is because he had died sometime after being rescued. Note that in the later Street Fighter Alpha series, it is established that instead of Genryusai, a man named Zeku is the 38th Bushin-style master and Guy's master. As such, it is assumed that Genryusai was Zeku's teacher instead.
- Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: After he's rescued, he's never seen again. As mentioned, he died in Maki's CvS2 text ending, so he may be gone for good.
- Distressed Dude: The objective of the Final Fight 2 is to rescue him and his daughter from the Mad Gear Gang.
- Flat Character: The only things he had going for him is that he was the head of the Genryusai family, celebrated practitioners of the Bushin-ryuu style, master to Guy and father of Rena and Maki. None of that is explored at all and Guy being his student is retconned out. Since he's (most likely) dead, it's doubtful if he'll have any more characterization in the future.
- Informed Ability: With him spending the entirety of FF2 being kidnapped, the badass who trained Guy and Maki is never shown. It's never even explained if he put up a fight when him and Rena were being abducted. Granted he's older now, but it's the lack of detail about him that makes it confusing.
- Old Master: To Guy, originally before Street Fighter's retcon, though it's still valid, especially as he trained Maki how to fight.
- Satellite Character: Like Rena, there isn't much to him other that he's important to Maki and Guy and was taken by the Mad Gear gang, so the heroes must rescue him.
- Unwilling Suspension: How Retu restrained him and Rena during the game's final battle.
Mad Gear Gang
Underlings
Jack and Schot
Origin: USA (Jack) / England (Schot)
The most average of the enemies in the game. Jack is a very fashion-conscious guy who spends most of his money on clothes and wants to open his own clothing shop in the future. Schot is a former member of an English punk band called "BigB & Bullheads", a band presumably founded by Birdie.
- Adaptation Dye-Job: Schot originally had an orange mohawk in his Final Fight 2 art, but his art on the CFN website colors it black, which is more in line with how he looked in-game.
- Cool Shades: Jack has a pair. Schot does too in his CFN redesign.
- Delinquent Hair: Schot has a spiky orange mohawk (Or black in-game and in his CFN redesign).
- The Fashionista: Jack, an unusually manly example that prevents him from being The Dandy. He's very fashion-conscious and spends most of his money on clothes.
- Jack of All Stats: Average in all ways. They're faster than Bull and Elijah, but not as strong. They're stronger than Mic and Mark, but not as fast. They're right in the middle.
- The Goomba: By far the most simple of the enemies of the game. Nothing stands out about them.
- Not a Morning Person: Jack hates getting up in the morning.
- One Degree of Separation: Schot used to be in a punk band in England called "BigB & Bullheads". It's more than likely that Birdie was the founder of the band, given his English origins, his large size, and his Bull Head special move.
- The Quincy Punk: Schot used to be in a punk band, and now works in a record shop specializing in punk music.
- Spell My Name With An S: As he's English, Schot is most likely supposed to be "Scott".
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: As the lowest ranking members in the gang, they're the equivalent of Bred, Jake, Dug and Simons.
Bull and Elijah
Origin: Canada (Bull) / USA (Elijah)
Another pair of common enemies, slightly tougher than Jack and Schot. Bull, despite his appearance and profession, is actually a Nice Guy who grew up in nature and loves animals. Elijah is a smuggler who lives with his mother in downtown Metro City and styles his hair like Tony Stark.
- '80s Hair: Elijah had long, flowing hair, although his CFN artwork changes it to be shorter, and adds a beard and mustache. The reason why is actually stated to be because his favorite conditioner was discontinued, so he went with a new look after seeing a certain superhero movie.
- Basement-Dweller: Elijah still lives with his mother.
- Cool Shades: Elijah has a pair with red lenses in his CFN redesign.
- Delinquent Hair: Bull has a short mohawk.
- Does Not Like Spam: Elijah hates raw fish.
- Family Man: Bull has a wife and daughter who he loves.
- Mighty Glacier: Subverted. They're stronger and slower than Jack and Schot, but they're not the definitive musclemen of the gang. That honor belongs to Atlas, Jony and the Andores.
- Minion with an F in Evil: Despite being part of the Mad Gear Gang, Bull is actually a big softie. He's a nature lover with a wife and child who also adopted a stray dog. He's also thinking about quitting the gang since he hurt his back.
- Mythology Gag: Bull is stated to have adopted a stray white dog. There's a white dog in the original Final Fight that appears in the Bay Area.
- Nature Lover: Bull grew up in nature, and as such loves plants and animals.
- One-Steve Limit: Broken. There's Bull, and then there's Bill Bull, one of the fat enemies from the original Final Fight.
- Race Lift: Elijah has darker skin than in his original artwork, but it's also closer to how he looks in-game.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Bull and Elijah are slightly tougher versions of Bred, Jake, Dug and Simons.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: Neither of them wears a shirts, only a pair of criss-crossed suspenders.
Mic and Mark
Origin: France (Mic) / USA (Mark)
A pair of low-ranking grunts who can move quickly, but have low health and damage output. Mic is an overconfident French Jerk living in a leaky apartment, and Mark is a Camp Gay wannabee actor.
- Camp Gay: Mark became one in his CFN redesign. He wears lipstick, perfume, and likes handsome men.
- Cool Shades: Mic has a pair.
- Delinquent Hair: Mark has a pompadour.
- Expy: Mark was turned into a Camp Gay in his CFN redesign, specifically as a reference to Puri-Puri Prisoner.
- The Fighting Narcissist: Mark loves beautiful things, of which he includes himself, similar to Vega. Mic is also overconfident and looks down upon others.
- Fragile Speedster: Mic and Mark move quickly, but don't do much damage and go down easily.
- French Jerk: Mic is French and an overconfident jerk, but he isn't exactly overtly French.
- Large Ham: The reason Mike keeps getting rejected at acting auditions.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: As the quick fighters, they're the equivalent of J and Two P from the first game.
- Vanity Is Feminine: Mark is a narcissist, and his CFN redesign gives him some feminine traits, like wearing lipstick and perfume.
- Waiting for a Break: In addition to being in the Mad Gear Gang, Mark is also a struggling actor.
Elias, Joe, and Eliot
Origin: USA (Elias, Joe) / England (Eliot)
A trio of tall, lanky men. Elias is a quiet but knowledgeable man who knows a lot about fortune telling and lucky items. Eliot is quiet and serious, but becomes very emotional when he gets drunk. Joe grew up in a strict household, which stressed him out and caused him to become an arsonist. Elias and Eliot attack using batons, while Joe throws Molotov cocktails.
- The Alcoholic: Eliot is a maudlin drunk, crying and talking about his past whenever he drinks.
- Astrologer: Elias can tell people's fortunes using astrology, and he's supposedly never wrong.
- Badasses Wear Bandanas: Eliot and Joe wear bandanas.

- Good Luck Charm: Elias has extensive knowledge of these.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: Joe's temper and tendency to burn things makes even his friends fear him.
- Lean and Mean: Like El Gado and Holly Wood, they're very tall and lanky.
- Molotov Cocktail: Joe's weapon of choice.
- Odd Name Out: Elias, Eliot...and Joe.
- One-Hit-Point Wonder: Joe runs onscreen quickly and just long enough to throw a Molotov, but goes down in one hit.
- One-Steve Limit: Broken. There's another Joe in the Skull Cross Gang in Final Fight 3, as well as a Joe in the original Street Fighter, and yet another NPC named Joe in Street Fighter V.
- Pyromaniac: Joe commits arson to release his pent-up stress.
- Retractable Weapon: Elias and Eliot carry retractable metal batons.
- Signature Laugh: Elias is stated to have one.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: They're the equivalent of El Gado and Holly Wood, only with batons instead of knives. Joe also uses Molotov Cocktails, which a variation of Holly Wood used in the original.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Joe eats spaghetti every day.
Elissa and Mary
Origin: USA
A pair of knife-wielding women. Elissa is a lowbrow woman who tends to pursue fads, and used to be a singer in a rock band. Mary is a health nut who likes jogging and cleaning. Elissa has a brother named Leon, while Mary has a brother named Robert.
-
Artist Disillusionment: Elissa used to be the singer in a rock band, but got bored of it and quit. - Ascended Extra: Elissa appears in Street Fighter 6 as Damnd's Number Two.
- Bowdlerise: The two were removed from the US and European versions and instead replaced with two punks called Leon and Robert, similar to what happened with Poison and Roxy being replaced by Billy and Sid in the first game. Their CFN profiles state that Elissa and Leon are siblings, and so are Mary and Robert.
- Distaff Counterpart: Leon and Robert to Mary and Elissa.
- Neat Freak: Mary likes cleanliness and hates cockroaches, and Elissa hates dirty people.
- She-Fu: They use lots of kicks and lots of flips.
- Sudden Name Change: Elissa was originally named Eliza, but was renamed Elissa when she reappeared in Street Fighter 6, presumably to avoid any confusion with Ken's wife Eliza.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: They're the equivalent of Poison and Roxy, right down to being censored in the US and European version of their game.
- Stripperiffic: Sure, their thigh high boots cover a little more than Poison and Roxy's heels but they still dress in a very skimpy manner.
- Used to Be a Sweet Kid: When Mary was a kid, she wanted to be a florist when she grew up.
Atlas and Jony
Origin: USA
A pair of heavily muscled men with strong attacks and the ability to block. Atlas was once a promising young athlete who threw it all away and now lives a life filled with violence and alcohol. Jony has a short temper and flies into a rage easily, but he at least gets along well with Atlas.
- The Alcoholic: Atlas became one after throwing away his athletic career.
- Battle Strip: In their CFN redesigns, both of them have the remnants of torn up shirts hanging from their pants.
- Career-Ending Injury: A car accident caused Atlas to throw away his career as an athlete.
- Covered with Scars: Both Atlas and Jony have scars all over their bodies, the most prominent being the X-shaped scars on their chests.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: Jony's short temper is fearsome.

- Race Lift: Jony appears lighter skinned in his CFN redesign.

- Top-Heavy Guy: More so in their sprites than in any official artwork of them.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Jony likes tomato juice.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: Neither of them wears a shirt.
Elick
Origin: USA
A portly man who attacks with a pair of electrical tuning forks. As a child, he was a prankster who greatly admired his father, who worked at the Metro City power plant, so he studied electrical engineering.
- Dual Wielding: Has an electric tuning fork in each hand.
- Expy: His CFN redesign gives him a mustache, black goggles and a pink nose, making him look like Porco Rosso.
- Fat Bastard: Like the pudgy enemies from the last game, Elick is fat, but is at least part muscle.
- Like Father, Like Son: His use of electricity comes from his admiration of his father, who worked in the Metro City power plant.
- The Prankster: Loved pulling pranks since he was a kid, and still does today.

Bosses
Won Won
Origin: Hong Kong
An ex-sailor turned Mad Gear member, Won Won controls the seaport section in Hong Kong. Respected by the area's local mafia, 800 Dragons, Won Won battles with his signature move, a seismic elbow drop. In the Japanese port of the game, he also had a cleaver, but that was taken out overseas due to censorship issues.
- The Alcoholic: Alcohol is one of his favorite things.
- Braids of Barbarism: Won Won's haircut complete with his braid wrapped in an orange bow.
- Bowdlerise: His meat cleaver was taken away in western versions, though his occupation was changed to say he was a former chef. Even better, his "shoulder bash" still has a *slash* sound effect when it hits.
- Chef of Iron: Won Won's a renowned gourmet that specializes in mǐxiàn recipes and hates food that isn't fresh.
- Flunky Boss: The underlings attack as soon as the fight starts.
- Not-So-Safe Harbor: His stage in Hong Kong and established as his turf, even by the Mafia.
- Wrestler in All of Us: His elbow drop, which deals massive damage.
Freddie
Origin: USA
A former member of the US Marine Corps, Freddie was dishonorably discharged after he accidentally killed his commanding officer. He became a mercenary hired by Mad Gear to lead their terrorism unit in France. His moves include a charging attack, a head crush move, a jumping attack (done after he knocks the player down), a lunging knee attack and a piledriver.
- Accidental Murder: He accidentally killed an officer with what he thought was a fake gun.
- Beard of Evil: A black beard that makes him look even scarier.
- Bullfight Boss: In part of his battle.
- Drill Sergeant Nasty: Freddie can be summed up as a loose cannon Ex-Marine turned terrorist who is teaching Mad Gear underlings how to be as violent as he is.
- Flunky Boss: Thugs will help attack during the battle.
- Real Men Eat Meat: Meat is listed as being one of his favorite things.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: Only his suspenders stop him from being completely exposed.
- Wrestler in All of Us: Has several wrestling moves in his arsenal.
Bratken
Origin: The Netherlands
A mentally unstable Dutchman with the body of Frankenstien's Monster, but the mindset of a child. He was bribed by Mad Gear with a roomful of toys and is imprisoned in the room when not needed. He has a throw, a flying jump-kick and a dashing punch that does massive damage.
- Dumb Muscle: Dumb enough to be manipulated by Mad Gear, strong enough to break out of his cell to fight the heroes.
- Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Being a Psychopathic Manchild, the only two things he likes are toys and his mother.
- Flunky Boss: Despite his unstable nature, the thugs are brave enough (or dumb enough) to give Bratken a hand.
- Frankenstein's Monster: Bratken's overall design clearly brings this image to mind.
- Manchild: He was bribed using a room full of toys, after all.
- Mighty Glacier: Yet another Goliath that towers over Haggar with enough power to knockdown the heroes in one blow.
- Psychopathic Manchild: Mentally unstable, he is a threat to "friend" or foe alike, unless he gets a lot of toys to play with.
- Rummage Sale Reject: While what he wears isn't the worst the trope has to offer, it's clear by his gawdy, mismatched clothing and belt tied around his shirt, that dressing himself is not his forte.
- Security Blanket: His best friend is a teddy bear.
Phillippe
Origin: England
Philippe is the clown-faced ringmaster working for the R & B Circus, smuggling weapons, drugs and other illegal goods for Mad Gear through it. He uses a cane to battle his opponents. He is able to grab his enemy and strike repeatedly with it, which is very damaging. He also has a sliding attack that knocks his opponent down instantly.
- Cane Fu: Phillippe uses his cane to strike enemies from a distance.
- Flunky Boss: After the start of the battle, Mad Gear thugs will appear to fight.
- Glass Cannon: He takes more damage than even the most basic enemies, but he is fast and can kill a player in a few hits.
- It's All About Me: He hates paying attention to others.
- Locomotive Level: The game’s England stage takes place atop a moving train as it speeds through London at night, and he’s fought at the end of the line.
- Monster Clown: An evil clown who smuggles items to terrorists using his circus as a front, yep he qualifies.
- Renaissance Man: As the ringmaster of his circus, he's a juggler, animal handler, clown, smuggler, cane fighter, whip fighter and his body is in a toned, fighting shape.
- Rush Boss: Very fragile, but can kill you as easily as he can be killed.
- Slide Attack: One of his special moves is a baseball slide.
- Weapon Specialization: He's an expert at Cane Fu and his SFV profile and art has him drawn with a large crop-style whip and says that's his other weapon.
Retu
Origin: Japan
Retu is the second leader of Mad Gear after its downfall in the first game. In retaliation against their past defeat, Retu kidnaps Guy's master and fiance and holds them hostage. With a deadly spin-kick and powerful strikes, Retu held his own against a battle with Haggar, Maki and Carlos, but was defeated.
- Anime Hair: Having elements of a kabuki in his wardrobe, Retu's hair (or wig) is ankle-legnth, flowing and very very hot pink.
- Big Bad: The leader of the Mad Gear gang in Final Fight 2 and responsible for kidnapping Rena and Genryusai. According to his SFV profile, his influence expands to all of Asia.
- Disney Villain Death: Retu has an unhealthy obsession with the paper-thin shoji style walls at the top of his high-rise building. Naturally, the final hit knocks him out of the wall and he falls to his death.
- Duel Boss: If you have just one player, he will face you alone. Though, in co-op mode, he still doesn't bring help, so you outnumber him... and he becomes ''much'' more aggressive.
- Facial Markings: His face is painted in the kumadori style of makeup used by kabuki artists.
- Honor Before Reason: In complete contrast to Belger, he neither hides behind his men in his fight, nor does he bring a gun in a fistfight.
- Hurricane Kick: Has the Kaiten Senpukyaku, a jumping spin kick similar to that used by Street Fighter's shoto characters.
- It's Personal: While he is avenging the defeat of the US Mad Gear branch, it is implied that there is more to his kidnapping of Maki's family according to his SFV profile. His dislike is Bushin-ryuu and he had some sort of falling out with a Bushin-ryuu-related person.
- Marathon Boss: Despite having only one phase, he has a lot of healthbars and takes forever to kill.
- One-Steve Limit: Broken. An alternate way of spelling his name is Retsu, which is the same name of the monk from the first Street Fighter.
- Real Men Wear Pink: He is very manly and pink is the color that characterizes him. Even his hair is pink.
- Stone Wall: He will not kill a careful player easily, but also has the most health out of any character in the series.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: With his heavily Japanese aesthetic, he's conceptually similar to Sodom, although Retu is at least genuinely Japanese.
- Villain Ball: He's the only other boss in the entire game to not be a Flunky Boss (the other being Rolento, who still brings grenades to a fistfight). Had he had help in the fight, it probably would not have had him in a 3-on-1 loss that ultimately ended in his death.
