Also during the Street Fighter panel, Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist creator Joey Ansah announced there will be a follow up to the live action Street Fighter series. The series is called Street Fighter: World Warrior and is in the pipeline. No further details were announced

Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist is streaming now on Machinima. On October 28, it will be released on Blu-ray and DVD. The news was announced at the Street Fighter panel at Comic-Con, which Siliconera attended.

The Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist disc will include extras, some of which were shown during the panel. Here’s what you can expect:

    Four deleted scenes – one of them takes place in episode 3 where Gouken is by the fire with Ken and Ryu. Ken asks a question about Dan and how he fits in will be explained.
    There will be extended scenes – one takes place where Ryu and Ken play Mega Man 2 and Ken reads a letter from his father.
    Ryu has a monologue on Goutetsu’s grave
    12 behind the scenes featurettes – some of these take place within the world of Assassin’s Fist where Ken uses a ’90s style camcorder to self film.
    Bloopers
    An epilogue that’s fifteen minutes long. This involves Gouken writing a letter to Ryu and Ken saying that a fight with Akuma is inevitable.

Spoiler: Season 1 announcement (click to see content)

I thought for some reasons any kind of movie based on a video game usually comes out bad. I guess I'll have to see what this one will be like to make sure. But seeing how this one will be about Ryu/Ken, or their masters. Good or bad, sounds interesting.

I don't doubt they'll be able to pull off some nice fight scenes, I'm just worried that they're picking a period of the Street fighter story with very little events to work from.

Curiously, Udon should be releasing their "Street Fighter Legends: Akuma" comic(s) in a couple of months or so, which will probably cover the same period and maybe more of Gouki's youth, but they get to have an easier time including other fitting characters like Gen and maybe Oro - which they'll probably really need to do, narratively speaking, Gouki tends to be all about dropping by, delivering overwhelming beatings to powerful people and trying to raise Ryu into a worthy future opponent or something resembling his own legacy, and not much else.


These guys, from the look of things, will have to cover some of that while focusing more on Ryu, Ken and Gouken, with Gouki lingering as a menacing presence about until a likely plot climax.
Until they reach that climax they'll probably have to address things like:
- how that Gouki make and actual living to support himself and pevent his students from starving (and their level of training requires a lot of food to make up for all the expended energy) - unless he's fully funded by Ken's parents or something
- how Gouken found Ryu
- why oh why did Ken's parents think it was a good idea to send their kid, possibly the only heir to a furtune (and thus a likely kidnapping victim candidate) off to train with some hermit in the middle of nowhere?

Other works of SF fiction have spend some time in this period of these characters' lives, bt usually only a brief period, not long enough to make these issues something worth addressing, so I'm curious to see how they'll handle it, if at all.

Correction : some super powerful hermit, should answer it.

Honestly I preferred this one, with the sole exception of Ken's wig.

Legacy is still really good, though.  It should make for a great film now that it's got actual funding.

Thanks for posting that man. It was pretty damn good.

Anyway I prefer Legacy because it's got Jon Foo. Speaking of him, is he gonna be in the new series?

Yeah I've been waiting for this since their short film :)
I do hope Jon Foo's back in as Ryu again as well.
They've been penning the script since they finished the short, it should be good.

I'm not sure if it's gonna be an internet series or actual aired series though?

Definitely keeping track of this :)!

ps. the Street Fighter: Beginnings was good too, but I prefer Street Fighter Legacy.

I really hope they'll use special effects SPARSE. I liked how they used actual pyrotechnics for Ken's Shoryuken in the short ;)
The Hadouken looked alright too, but could be better. It was odd how Jon Foo's mouth didn't match the 'Hadouken!' voice over though :P

Wow damn, they're going all out on this with the actors posting videos - Goutetsu, Gouken, Gouki, Sayaka - Gouken's niece (wut ? Gouki's daughter, or the daughter of another sibling ? Shouldn't it be Gouken's daughter ?) The guys look good for their part and they all seem to be big fans (we'll see if they play well).

They keep pumping more hype into this. It's still aiming for early 2014, so I wonder if they'll keep going the distance until release, or if they're just throwing out random stuff they have before shutting themselves out to do the shooting.

I knew their kickstarter wouldnt do well because that title its just shit, they say they want it for fans but already figure out shit uber geeky translations which makes fans worried if its really gonna be any good, it looks like another fan project that honestly isnt serious enough to get 1 million.
There are SF animes why they think we need live action film, can you imagine serious scenes with guy who has guile's haircut, come on...

Nerdgasm Q&A, half an hour that serves as a reminder of why it's awesome that this is still a thing that's going to happen. Guy's got everything there is to know on Ansatsuken - the Nio guardian statues, the evolution between everyone's style, Gouki's character, the timeline etc.
He mentions screenings to Capcom and answers positively to a question on if it's possible that Capcom endorses it, leading to something on the World Warriors era, from SF1 to SF2.

Just found out about this article, and while it doesn't say much that's new (after the Q&A session at least), there's one detail I found very interesting :
Quote
What is shun goku Satsu/Raging demon and how it works? Double check.
[...]
and finally you will get to see the shun Goku Satsu(Akuma’s raging demon super/ultra) in its full glory
Just when I was wondering if they'd dare come up with a definitive visual and explanation for the SGS. Oh, and of course there's also
Quote
The shoryuken is one of the moves that i found myself loving to see over and over again. The tatsumaki is there but more realistic that the rest
Good to know that they do look good and realistic.

Yeah, despite all the backstory and the training being the real meat, in the end it feels like a prologue, just the origin story before something else. I assumed from the start that it would end with the fight between Gouken and Gouki, and possibly a teaser of the Gokuentou fight between Ryu and Gouki in the SFZ2 ending. I cracked up at Ono suddenly barging in out of nowhere, but aside from that night out at the bar, in the end it felt a little too restricted, it's just a group of three characters at a time, all the time. Even though we knew it would be focused on everything Ansatsuken, it felt really solitary. Maybe that's why it felt like it was only the prologue to something else with more characters. Ryu's sudden Dark Hadou surge came with no warning, maybe that's why it feels like it's only starting and you expected that bit to be resolved (with even just a teaser shot of the Gokuentou fight).

The fights were great at best, and at worse, they were nice. The Shouryuuken was a bit too exaggerated and didn't break enough jaws or tear up chests, but Ryu's Tatsumaki was good. Nice to see them come up with a couple of techniques for Goutetsu. And the result of that Shun Goku Satsu ? Pretty gore-y.
Through the attention to all the little details (as far as the Nio drawn on the paper doors), the only tiny thing that bothered me is that Ryu's name isn't supposed to be the kanji for "dragon" but a different one (it's always written in katakana, but we know the kanji from SF1, it's 隆, meaning noble).

All in all, I loved every bit of it. Gouki and his descent, Gouken, Goutetsu, the references to Gen and Dan, the Hadou theories and training, and the Dark Hadou theory. Oh, and great actors too (only Ken's dialogues felt just a little empty, like a theater actor reciting to no one). But I'd love for there to be more, a second season, anything.
If I struggled to the end of my determination, to the end of my way of life with my followers, if the result is ruin, then this ruin is inevitable. Grieve. Shed tears. But you cannot regret.

So Legacy was financed by Capcom... Until they backed out just before release, fearing people wouldn't like it and it would bring bad rep to SF4 somehow. And Ansah released it as fanmade anyway. Comparing that with how they did stay behind Assassin's Fist through the end, it shows that they didn't really understand what part of SF fans really liked, until this (given Ono's cameo, I suspect he pushed for it and was a major support from Capcom's side). Well, I hope this is a success and the DVDs/BRs sell well (I know I'll get a copy, I hope it comes out in Europe), so that Capcom definitely understands that this does work.
About the World Warriors script they have, I dunno if it's good to make it specifically SF2, unless it's just a big wrap-up of the whole Shadaloo arc and they were just talking generally (rather than specifically).

Oh, and also, interestingly enough, all the interviews describe this with insistence as "a backstory" (to something else - the games) rather than a self-contained standalone story, hence the feeling that it's only a prologue and that something's supposed to be coming after it.

Just finished watching it. That was amazing. I mean, not PERFECT, but damn good. I did feel cheated out of the Gouki/Gouken fight it felt like they were building towards, but in retrospect it's better to have that next season so you can have Ryu finding Gouken afterwards.

Really want to see these guys tackle SF1... and Alpha, and SF2, and SF3, and Final Fight, and...

giving Ryu his headband before any of the tournaments.

Episode 00 is titled Alpha. Not to mention that it's also skipping SF1, which is before Alpha, and which Alpha retcons as the first time Ryu used the Satsui no Hadou to defeat Sagat with the Shouryuuken (or Metsu Shouryuuken).
And Ken has short hair in SF1, long hair in SFA, short hair after, and Ryu has the white headband in SF1 and Alpha, and the red headband only inSF2 and after.
When did Dan graduate from the dojo?
He didn't, he was kicked out.

Chapter 4 is easily the best of the lot.

Overall, the show is good. Better than most stuff that we got so far, but it has space to improve.
The writing can be quite bland at some points. And it definitely cannot top Raul Julia's Bison.

But I commend them for their effort. It paid off in the form of a good, enjoyable show.

I'm left desiring for more as well, this is so well-put together, I loved every minute of it. The drama, music, environments, the fights, the look of the characters...all of it simply top-notch and how a video game adaption SHOULD be handled. It's pretty much a new standard for every adaption to follow, this level of authenticity and respect to the source material.

I'll take anything the team wants to work on yet. Wether it'll continue to follow Ryu and Ken on their Musha shugyō/Warrior's Pilgrimage, or if a second season will instead focus around Guile/Chun-Li/Shadaloo( or Shadowloo, whatever), I'll be there for it.
Whatever the case, I hope the very same team returns and is granted a larger budget but for the love of God, without any restrictions of creative control by any studio, studios are dumb and make things like The Disgraceful Movie Adaption The Legend of Chun-Li.

Not to mention it put me back into working some more, I'm trying to step it up now. Thanks to that amazing Gouki training sequence  :devil:

bearded gouken has no muscle at all he lacks physical training, would be ridiculous to watch him dressed in his single sleeved gi later on, and facing Akuma Gouki, probably later on Gouken would be body swapped as well with more muscular actor (having beard to conceal the facial change).

Ryu looked pretty young in SFZ series, then SF2 and SF4 are pretty close, and finally SF3 where he's older. Same goes for everyone, they do age, it's just that the games are often just a couple of years apart. Hell, Gouki has white hair in SF3. in fact, Gouken is the one who looks older than he should be if he's Gouki's older brother (unless he's like 12 years older or something). So this version actually makes sense.

as for the web series, my only gripes are their constant saying of hadoukens/shoryuken/tatsumakisenpuukyaku when they perform the, like in the games, which isn't at all necessary in a live action series where grunts could take their place

also the shoryuken could'veshould've  been a step jump uppercut (take a step forward and hop off the front foot) which is how it would work irl, without the exaggerated height, cuz as it stands it just looks silly as it is now; again, for the sake of live action, and plausibility (i know)

which brings me to the tatsumaki; i guess they realized how silly that would've looked if they kept it faithful to the game so they turned it to a multi spin roundhouse kick instead, those kinds of changes are welcomed

in all, i thought it was dope and some more story advancement would be dope

I would give the series an 8/10 for street fighter fans and a 7/10 for casual viewers its a great adaptation of the games/anime  story lines and all my personal gripes with it are mere nitpicks such as ryu and ken not getting into a fight with some army guys at the bar or atleast a full fight scene for ryu's fight. I love gouken and gouki's back story they did a great job of portraying the complexity of they're relationship as brothers. Another thing I didn't really like was the fact that they really made ken an asshole in first half of the series and it was kind of off putting

but throughout the episodes, what older Gouken did was giving example of kata, hadoken, and shoryuken, I believe even a 70 year old martial artist still can do that convincingly. look at the older guy playing Goutetsu. as for acting part, I believe those 2 bigger actors have tons of experience playing a role of sensei and sifu throughout their careers. But probably budget thing... although they were sponsored by Honda.

I like the cast for Ken, Ryu, demon Gouki/ Joe Ansah, even young Gouken, I just thought the older Gouken could be more meaty, seems like he was thinner and shorter than his younger self, I just mentioned the two popular sensei cast from the top of my head as reference, but actually the actor playing gouken was OK, if prior the shooting he would have packed some more mass, at least on the exposed arms, it would be better. just my own opinion.

To my knowledge their is no evidence to support the fact that Gouken had that amount of muscle when he trained Ryu and Ken. Remember there us a couple of years between when they leave and SF4. Plus, SF4 proportions are exaggerated. Realistically he would just be a really well toned old guy

And just look at those shorts, now that's awesome. Bonus points for that!

I don't know if he'll survive his fight with Gouki. I mean yeah they brought him back for SF4, but he should've stayed death, tbh. Not because I hate the character but because it'd have a lot more impact. And I mean how weird is that, Ken witnessed his death, then supposidly he's alive years later? Didn't they bury the body or what? They just left it to rot in the woods?

Him struggling to get his shirt off could be due to the sudden burst of pain in his back, I mean it pretty much looked burned into his back from the inside out, I bet he felt that.
But yes the Shungoku Satsu was not my cup of tea either, the sliding just can't look believable and how the froze the screen and made Goutetsu a white silouette just felt off, too fake. I appreciated the aftermath of the move though, the damage done to Goutetsu's body looked pretty gruesome.

The way they represented the raging demon was kinda odd, i would have prefer less effects, a close up of Gouki grabbing his master and the screen just fading black.
That flashing red light they used is to much Imo.

But other than that i was very pleased with the whole thing, lot of detail, love and work put into this and even faithful to his source. Hollywood needs to learn from these guys on how to adapt things.

Couple things I've wanted to say...
Goutetsu mentions that Ansatsuken was born in the feudal wars of Japan (that would be the Sengoku period, XVIth century). So of course, now I want to see something about Ansatsuken used in those wars.
Among the list of Ansatsuken users, the two before Goutetsu are named Shouryuu and Igawa Tougo. the latter being the name of the actor who plays Goutetsu, lol.
I really don't think the Shun Goku Satsu should have been a fade to black. It tried to actually show what happened from it, so the red flash and white silhouette is actually it, it's just what you see from it. I'm okay with it.
edit - oh, and the sliding had to stay. It's kind of a trademark motion of Gouki and the Satsui no Hadou, they couldn't just cut it, otherwise Gouki would just be "yet another strong guy", it would only be a matter of getting stronger and stronger. The slide adds to the mystical aspect that he found. It's just a matter of it looking right, of course, as a special effect, it could be tweaked, but the slide is important, IMO. Hell, it's what made him look fucking insane as a boss in the first games (everything else is just Ryu/Ken copy-paste).

Loved watching Gouki fishing with a Hadouken. Old memories of the Crocodile Dundee movies, fishing with a dynamite stick, coming back. But I'd have liked to see at least one more scene showing that Gouki did get on with life. Sure he's training all the time, but I liked stuff like in the SF2 animated series where you saw him in the background in nearly every episode selling fruits and whatnot, or that one artwork of him selling fruits to a kid. Like, a scene in the "modern" time (Ryu & Ken era) where he's fishing with Hadouken again and coming across Gouma (the old crazy guy), passing him like it's just another day fishing in the forest. To show that he's not just about killing anyone he sees - just strong fighters.
If I struggled to the end of my determination, to the end of my way of life with my followers, if the result is ruin, then this ruin is inevitable. Grieve. Shed tears. But you cannot regret.

I loved how they showed gouki's perspective on his descent into use of the satsui no hadou, how even after he lost his head and tried killing gouken during their fight he apologized and thanked goutetsu for training him. He became a bit of a dick but he didn't just go from a martial artist to a mystical demon over-night he made some choices that were challenging to him but HE feels by letting go of his attachments he became a better fighter for it. Another part I thought was hilarious was when he returned to confront gouken and gouken tries to lie and say he no longer practices hadou and then ken and ryu run in calling him sensei, gouki's reaction was hilarious(to me anyway lol)

Well, Gouken's not lying, he's telling Gouki that he's given up on the murdering version that Goutetsu taught them - that's when he talks about enlightenment and all. He still uses the same techniques, but he went with a different foundation, and he doesn't care about the passing of the Ansatsuken mantle as taught by Goutetsu, that's why he says Gouki can go ahead and call himself the only master. It's not like Gouki should feel entitled to kill anyone who has ki because it grants techniques similar to the Hadou. It's just that Gouki didn't even think Gouken could have jumped ship, but even though he's teaching the same techniques, it's a whole different style. And that's why Gouken says at the end that Gouki will interpret Ryu's surge of Satsui no Hadou as Gouken's, and think it's Gouken calling for a fight, because Gouki would think only Gouken could do that, and that of course Gouken would still use the Satsui no Hadou.
Agreed on the part on Gouki's point of view.

yea gouken definitely has a scrap coming his way thanks to ryu lol another great aspect was the portrayal of gouken's presence as a father figure to both of them. The way he expresses genuine concern about ken practicing satsui no hadou was like a father seeing his son trying drugs and the way he just peeked in while they were playing mega-man just made their relationship seem alot more normal and realistic versus a purely master and student relationship where he simply meditates or is isolated in his room all the time. I really hope they continue with the series as it is or if it is picked up by a studio they aren't shackled into making creative changes based on idiotic focus group studies like most game/comic book adaptations

Would definitely want to see a continuation of this series. I hope they don't jump too far ahead right away. Joey Ansah I believe did mention a next season could focus on Guile, Chun-Li and the rise of Shadaloo.
But I would still want to see some more of Gouken, I loved his portrayal in this so much, with all the fathery-aspects mentioned. I thought the ending was so strong, I had a bit of tears welling up. He's saying goodbye to his students/adopted sons but what THEY don't know is it'll probably be the last time he'll EVER see them (with the bit of Gouki probably seeing the Satsui No Hadou surge from Ryu as a challenge, and thinking he'll (Gouken) probably perish in the fight against Gouki).
I'd even want to see a bit of young Gouken on his pelgimage, he mentions how he met Gen and such, he probably did a lot more interesting things. And if we keep Gouken around it's easy to fit in some more flashbacks of his past in there.

Ryu and Ken were equally strongly portrayed I think, I'd love to see them do just about anything, really. Maybe they'll have a bit of wacky adventures, Street Fighter II V style, before they get into more serious stuff. Ryu vs Sagat is a must too. Don't know if they'll do the whole Street Fighter I arc, leading up to the Sagat fight, or have it played out different (perhaps as in the SFII animated movie where Ryu fought Sagat on that thundery grassland, no signs of a tournament setting around it anywhere).
Now that I think about it, a Ryu vs Sagat thundery grasslands fight sounds awesome, I want that!
Hope they'll keep the sort of friendship between Ryu and Sagat as well (more of a warrior's respect then friendship, really) that built up later.

All of that sounds cool to see I definitely hope they can find an decent sized actor to portray sagat if they go the sf1 story route. He should atleast be  about 6'3 if possible with a solid build and not just some tan guy with an eye patch. I personally would like the story to follow ken & ryu's story further while fleshing out gouken's story through flash backs again and just introduce guile and chun li towards the end.

I would suggest merging it with the thread of the first season, it makes more sense that everyone who comes here for the second season can quickly get to the first season.

P.S. : also, fuck yeah.

Introduction on how World Warriors will go, and details on the DVD/BR version of Assassin's Fist. I like how he says they want to make the disc version have incentives and make it a must buy even for those who already saw it online. Way to go.
Quote
... picking up where Assassin's Fist left off as we follow Ryu and Ken on their 'Musha Shugyo' (warrior's pilgrimage)," said Ansah. "The Shadaloo criminal cartel will be introduced, led by the extremely dangerous M.Bison, which will naturally lead into the World Warrior tournament… and we all know what this means - fan favourites Guile, Chun-li, Sagat and Co. will be playing a big part!"
This makes me think that we'll first get a look at a speedy SF1 summary with Ryu beating Sagat with a tie to his worries about the Dark Hadou, before moving on to Shadaloo, and then the SF2 tournament, rather than jumping straight to SF2. I was hoping for that. Depending on how long the whole thing is, I'm thinking like half an hour before talking about SF2 tournament.

I think a few justified retcons are in order;

-like say the first tournament being secretly sponsored by shadaloo, with sagat as the frontman (this would justify his being in shadaloo, instead of joining because he got srk'd by ryu, and dictator only tears his head because the satsui no hadou intrigues him, and of course his leaving when he realizes it's not for him, since sfa retconned him leaving shadaloo before sf2 even tho sf2 takes place after alpha story wise and he's a full on member, but whateve),

-having mike actually be mike bison this time around, being recruited by shadaloo after failing to get anywhere in the tournament and having gone nowhere success wise after his boxing career ended disgracefully (cuz seriously, what the fuck are they gonna so with mike [nothing, they're gonna do nothing, that was rhetorical])

-ummm... charlie having one canon death this time (he's died like 3 ways now, and even been shadowfied, albeit non canonically, with the implication that abel has seen him recently or at least before [fuck sf4])

-giving joe some kind of screentime (i like joe and always thought his character could at least be interpreted, like tyler durden-ish i always thought)

-lee being included and having some importance along with gen, perhaps running an herbal shop or something when he's not fucking people up (with small cameo by his nephews as children)

-a very hammy bison because raul julia made it that way and you must fucking comply

-work retsu in there somewhere, likely as the friend fouled never told them about or something, and make geki a member of ibuki's clan with a small cameo of a young ibuki I guess

-and give claw one consistent hair color, if it's brown keep it brown dammit

all I can think of for now, these are of course things they wouldn't likely do but they would make sense
i cant count the reasons i should stay

one by one they all just fade away...

They already used both Gouki and Akuma, the former as the character's name, the latter to describe what he has become. For the SF2 trio that probably means they'll stick with the original names.

They haven't announced anything. Adkins was just a name Ansah threw around saying he thought it would be cool. But there's a little more that needs to happen before it can be confirmed - like, you know, maybe the director contacting the actor in question, and the actor agreeing to play the part.

The changed names are a bit weird and always have been.

While I can understand boxer being called Bison, Claw being called Balrog and Dictator Vega have always been weird to me.  Balrog sounds like a nickname for someone ugly and destructive and Vega is a spanish family name. I cant help but find the changed names more fitting, even if the M in M bison ends up meaning nothing as a consequence.

Well, Dictator was named Vega after the star because it was cool and mystical. In SF2, he was thin, could practically fly, and set people on fire, so it made sense, really.
Dunno how Claw was named Balrog. Could be something that stuck from the earlier concept works where the guy with some weapon I don't remember and a mask was muscular and threatening.
edit - one version of that guy in SF2 concept arts was massive, and another was a bit thinner (still big) and had a sword. The Balrog in LotR has a sword, maybe that's when he got that name and it stuck.

it's actually a play on him being an extremely beautiful characters while also being an extremely destructive force*, an evil spirit (kinda like the tatsu from japanese culture [albeit some japanese dragons were just forces of nature, while others like orochi and such well, yknow], hence the snake tattoo on his upper body, which would signify him as a villain), but directly referenced to the western dragon because, spanish, and there's really no one generic term for dragon outside of the japanese language (which also has quite a few synonyms, itself), so yea, balrog** because someone was also likely a tolkien fan



*in japanese culture the dragon and tiger are considered the beauty and the beast, which each interchangeably filling either role at any time, so both could be each (actually got a reference in the ryuko no ken team's kof 2000 theme, well, "beauty and thd beast"
