  Street Fighter has not had the success on TV and Film as it has Video games(like MK, DOA and Tekken.) The movie in question attempt's to best the previous movies, and that is just what it is.......an attempt. Said to be about the origin's of Ryu and Ken, moreso the origin's of Goku and Goki,
  
  To be honest, I had high hopes for this, but I still see the ongoing trend is just that.............ongoing.

  Poor old Streetfighter. Why can no one seem to get it right. Its not like its a hard format / idea. Why not just have a little back story (perhaps focussing more on 1 or 2 characters) and have the tournament form the bulk of the movie. It may all sound very 80s/90s, but it worked (best of the best, bloodsport, Kickboxer, No retreat no surrender to name a few). Rememer the god awful Van Damme / Kylie Minogue one, yikes.

  I've seen it and I have to say that I personally think it wipes with the floor with all previous video game adaptations.
  
  It has enough fighting, which is done very very well and it sticks to the SF story. It's only real problem in my opinion is that it tries to incorporate two stories and that makes it drag out.

  I haven't seen it, in fact I had absolutely no idea that this was a thing! I really hope it's good, because Street Fighter adaptations are the absolute worst of the worst. They deserve better. Hopefully thisscotsman is correct!

  I cant justifiably knock Street Fighter : Assassins fist as have not seen it, but, may haver to give it a look. It has not been all bad news with Streetfighter movies although, in my opinion based on those that i have seen too date, only one hit the mark for me..and that was animated. The movie im refering to is of course the Manga 1994 Streetfighter 2 The animated movie. Its been a while since i last watched this, time too dig it out me thinks.

  I've heard lots of good things about the animated films but I haven't ever seen them so can't comment.
  
  The guys who made the film clearly love the source material. And it doesn't have any of the kinda camp cramp from any previous beat-em-up adaptations.
  
  What I will also mention is that it really only focuses on Ryu and Ken. So if you don't care about them then it's maybe not worth it.

  Did not think it would be such a pain to dig up a decent trailer for this, but heres a pretty good one, even though its in japanese. I have not seen any other the other streetfighter 2 animated movies (need to research those). This one, however, is fantastic.

  This is the trailer for Street Fighter Legacy. 
  It's what got the guys to be allowed to make Assassins Fist. The only change between them is that the guy playing Ryu changes for the film - but that's not a problem.
