So even though I don't think there's anything particularly interesting/silly about the Final Fight 3 continue screen in 2-player mode versus Haggar blowing at nothing in Final Fight 1 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSCtV2tRgLM), or the 5'4" Maki being almost the same height as the 6'10" Haggar in Final Fight 2 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcOfcpAY1EE), I ended up doing this anyway because the only other 2-player version I could find was badly stretched out.

So yeah. I guess if I have to try and find something interesting here, it would be that Haggar is just way larger than Lucia. Which is obvious, but I frankly figured the spikes would have hit Lucia's chest first. Nope!

Incidentally, when I first saw this continue screen, I thought Lucia was being held down by some kind of leather straps instead of being bracketed down like everyone else. Turns out she isn't; that's just her coat draped over her arms.

One interesting technical note about this that isn't obvious from the video: In every other Final Fight game, both arcade and home, basically anything that isn't moving in the scene is actually part of the background, including every part of the character but their heads. Here, all of the characters are on the Sprite layer versus being "baked into" the background.
