Check out the review.
Its pretty outrageous and I love that it exists because…what the hell?
Thats rare foranyvideo game movie.
I mean, unless they were playingStreet Fighter III: Third Strike.
Which they should, since its one of the best video games ever.
It is pretty muchStar Warsonly with martial arts instead of laser swords.
The four core characters all practice Ansatsuken, which is essentially the Force.
Even then, the series isnt even so much about Ken either.
Its rather nice, honestly.
When UDON publishedStreet Fighter Origins: Akuma, I dug all of it except the dry parts with Gouken.
Here he only starts out like a generic character, but unfolds from there.
At first it plays a lot like that, I learned it from you, dad!
You learn his fear for yourself via the flashbacks that show how Goki transforms into the demon Akuma.
His face covered in prosthetics, whenever Ansah shows up, he nails the characters presence.
The fight scenes are wonderful and as I mentionedwhen I interviewed Ansah recently, are incredibly true-to-game.
You cant help but notice it.
Even Gokis one scene of speaking English is in a situation where it feels completely unnecessary.
Overall, the series is a long-awaited love letter and a capable one at that.
