If you prefer Street Fighter in hand-drawn 2D instead of the look of Street Fighter IV, and if you prefer it to be ... completely non-interactive, well, Capcom has some exciting news. A Super Street Fighter IV anime project is in the works from the Gonzo animation company. The anime focuses on Juri (and her weird glowing eye), but also contains "great fighting action," "backstory goodness," and "plenty of Cammy and the Dolls," according to Capcom's Seth Killian.
How to see the anime is a bit of a mystery. Capcom is offering it to Xbox 360 buyers of Super Street Fighter IV as a bonus (possibly as some kind of download or through Xbox Live Marketplace), but that offer is for Japan only. The fact that a trailer is available on Xbox Live Marketplace in North America suggests that it will be available here in some form. We're checking with Capcom for details. In the meantime, enjoy the trailer above or through your Xbox.
Agreed. I remember when I watched the E3 2006 trailer of MGS4 in Japanese with english subtitles, I thought it was awesome, but unfortunate they couldn't fit the Japanese language on the american blu-ray and vice versa. I'm glad that Yakuza 3 will be Japanese voice with english sub and not dubbed.
Juri: Huh? This feels awesome. [something about a feeling of power in her body?]
Juri: Hey, hurry up and let me do it.
Cammy: There's no mistaking [something about SI; what's SI?]. On top of that, that girl's power . . . is something that needs to be investigated.
Guile (?): [something about SI]? Damn!
Female voice #1: [something about new data in the server]
Female voice #2: Acknowledged. What are the contents?
Female voice #1: Information about that girl: Juri Han. [something about her being a top something-or-other genius girl in Korea at the age of 15, 10 years ago; something about her father, then a bunch of stuff I didn't understand]
Juri: . . . in order to be given to the organization? [incomplete context]
[fights and music]
Female voice: Please pursue the [necessary measures?] for a little bit.
Ugly guy: [something about "it was heaven"?]
Juri: What a sitting duck! [literally, "This naive one is . . . !"]
Juri: You'll end up disappearing, too . . . because you don't bring any pain.
correction: Super Street Fighter IV anime in the works, explains Juri's creepy eye in japanese with no subs....so....you dont really know whats going on and cant understand what theyre saying...unless! you speak japanese!
Basically Guile explains Juri was the daughter of a lawyer who was prosecuting Shadaloo, and then Seth and his pals kidnapped Juri and her family, killed the parents, brainwashed her and gave her evil powers.
Juri was a Tae Kwon Do world champion and is now this international agent/killing machine, and Cammy and Guile are working with Interpol to take her down.
Sweet! Not the biggest anime fan in the world, but I LOOOOOOVED Street Fighter 2 the animated movie. (best game>movie adaptation EVER btw) Hopefully this delivers on the same scale as that one.
