Street Fighter Legacy is the best three minutes of Street Fighter film ever

by JC Fletcher on May 7th 2010 1:27AM

As promised, the full version of the Street Fighter Legacy short film has been released. You can watch it after the break or click here to see it in resolutions up to 1080p.

We're happy to report that Joey Ansah, Owen Trevor and Streetlight Films have figured out the secret formula for making a good Street Fighter movie: make it really short. There's no time for terrible dialogue, shoehorned character cameos or questionable characterization in this three-minute film. There's just time for one beautifully shot fight sequence between Ryu and Ken ... which makes sense for a movie based on a fighting game.

Not too shabby. I still have a prob with how Ryu looks. He doesn't look tough, at all. Looks more like a nerd. Ken is spot on although they both could use more size and muscularity but that's not a big deal.

I like the way this was shot, for the most part. The ending kick sequence was weak as it looked like they would just land right where they jumped from instead of "fly-kicking" into each other.
At any rate, for a small film, it was tantalizing enough for me to think that Capcom needs to holla at the person(s) who produced and directed this for the next SF film. NO MORE GARBAGE, CAPCOM!!

For a better SF fighting sequence, imo - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8K-F4eCDyUU

Holy crap that was epic.

ehhhh.

sa'right.

"Short-Fan film" but waaaay better than anything Hollywood has put out! I think people need to quit crying about the eyebrows. They are scary, but authentic. Ya'll would probably be crying if they weren't included.....so just enjoy the awesomeness that it delivers.

This short film was pure epic! Seriously spot-on. I'm still giddy that they included the eyebrow! Now that's detail you won't get in a shitty hollywood movie! I loved it! The only nit-pick I had was that they could've picked a better character for Ryu. Ken looked exactly like the Ken from Street Fight Alpha and a couple others, but Ryu could've been a little bigger and more buff. Other than that....PERFECT!

Most of these fan films look really great until the creators try and include the specials. I think the problem is, in games these special moves, fireballs and such work fine. In live action productions though, they seem awkward and just slow down the film's momentum.
