@mechawolf94 Streets of Rage is the localized name so maybe the people localizing it knew and went with it, but it's hard to say. The Japanese name is just Bare Knuckle.
Also in Final Fight, the main character is named Cody which is almost certainly a reference to Tom Cody.
@mechawolf94 Kunio-kun and Double Dragon were both very inspired by it, Yoshihisa Kishimoto created both. Streets of Rage's and Final Fight's creators both also mention it as inspiration. Also that whole trend of bombshells in red dresses, Marian, Blaze, Jessica, are just copying Ellen Aim.
Okay I just needed to look up who the hot characters were so I knew what to look forward to.
