Street Fighter: Legacy Dragon Punches Every Street Fighter Movie

[ENKC]

Blimey. That's the most effort I've seen go into three minutes of entertainment since my last... actually, let's not go there.

Now, if they could find a way of convincingly portraying freaks like Blanka and Dhalsim, I'll be sold.

 

[Jaebird]

This actually brought tears of joy to my eyes. No joke.

Suck it, Hollywood. Suck it hard, and chase it down with a Tatsumaki-Senpū kyaku to the nuts!

 

[Sir Kemper]

Just go's to show you that with proper appriciation for a series, and a couple hundred dollars, almost anythig can be done.

 

[Kevlar Eater]

One of the best things I've seen since Art of the Saber.

 

[tirone231]

well first of all, this film automatically succeeds by making Ryu and Ken the main characters like they need to be, second, it's definitely the right direction for a full fledged movie

 

[Lucane]

That was very well done all around except for the jump at the end but it was for the freeze frame so it's forgivable. Wished they'd get a chance to direct/cast in a flim.

Best Street Fighter bit ever! Though the original Street Fighter animated movie is good in my opinion as well.

 

[Darkenwrath]

That right there, is how you blow peoples minds.

 

[silasbufu]

It was cool , but there's a big difference between doing something 3 minutes short and giving the same amount of awesome to something ~2 hours long.

 

[Woem]

Wow this is definitely as good as Art of the saber:

 

[Vohn_exel]

I love how in every Street Fighter film, anime, or whatever, whenever they do the hurricane kick, they never even try to say the full word. They always just yell out "Tatsumaki!" because the entire thing is so freaking weird for english speakers to pronounce.

But yeah, this was freaking awsome. Maybe it would be hard to make this into a feature length film but I'm sure these guys could do the series more justice then the Chun Li movie (they only got it right that Balrog doesn't kick, good for them.), although heck, the old Van Damm movie did a better job then that.

 

[Cowabungaa]

That was indeed pretty damn awesome. Who says that good videogame-to-film adaptations aren't possible?

(they only got it right that Balrog doesn't kick, good for them.)

I know it's not the same Balrog, but you just made me imagine the Balrog vs Gandalf fight in LOTR in martial arts style. And it's awesome.

Haha On the LOTR Conquest board on Gamefaqs, someone else mentioned "I got the Balrog" and someone responded "Yeah but he doesn't kick" and only about four people got it

 

[antipunt]

Wow. Those three minutes -were- actually better than all the other SF movies

 

[The Infinite]

Heh that was very well done I have to say, very well choreographed fight scene that does justice to the series. More I say!

 

[bjj hero]

Anyway, more on topic, that was awesome. I think the only thing I have a problem with is that Ken blocked a Hadoken with his sholder. Yeah, that's how it happens in game, but, yes, sometimes very minore things can change. It would have been okay for him to have blocked that with his hand or something.

If you do any sparring you gladly take body or head shot to the arms and shoulder, it hurts but its far better than the shot landing. If you watch Forrest Griffin vs Quentin Jackson you see Forrest throwing head kicks over and over to damage the arms of Rampage when he covers. The plan being to make his hooks less dangerous when he throws them. In SF a hadoken is no different than a regular strike really, similar to Kens dragon punch not leaving 2nd degree burns.

The film kicks ass. Having said that there is a big difference when you need a plot for a full lenght movie rather than a fight choreographer. It can be done though, Mortal Kombat wasn't horrible.

 

[Dorian Cornelius Jasper]

My goodness. The authentic, "a real fan made this" choreography notes brought a big smile to my face.

That it's a little campy or off matters little compared to just how good they managed to bring out the Street Fighter feel.

 

[Casual Shinji]

No Street Fighter movie is ever going to work no matter who makes it. The only reason this "kinda" works is because it's a three minute short of Ryu and Ken fighting wich is ofcourse all the fans really want. Had it been made as a full lenght feature, it would've fallen on it's ass aswell, though, probably not as hard as that pathetic Chun Li movie.

The fighting was pretty cool, though. A little rough around the edges, but better than anything in the other movies.
