It is no secret that most videogame movies are lame and sometimes the property is just plain misused (Super Mario Brothers comes to mind). Street Fighter has had a rocky history in this department with the best movies coming in the way of Anime. Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist looks to change this with a passionate group of fans working on it as well as taking a page from Mortal Kombat: Legacy and making it a web-series.
All this of course is being made with the blessing of Capcom themselves and if all goes well, just like the Mortal Kombat: Legacy web-series, this might spark a live-action movie made by the same team who are making Assassin’s Fist. The web-series will take fans back to Ryu & Kens earlier years secluded in Japan practicing ‘Ansatsuken’ (Assassin’s Fist). They learn about the arts dark history and the mysterious past of their master, Gouken. Below are some shots of the production of the series. All in all, it looks pretty darn cool.
