Street Fighter World Warrior | Resurrection | Assassin's Fist Thread

Good luck, hope you guys get the funding you need.

Thanks man!

Togo Igawa says hello to the fans, and announces that he will be playing ā€˜Gōtetsuā€™ in 'Street Fighter: Assassinā€™s Fistā€™

Perfect casting choice IMO.

that was great, sense of power in his message.

You can feel his power through the lens lol

@d3v, thanks man for the front page post :smiley:

Another character reveal

My problem with this project -and Iā€™m not trying to shit on what you guys are trying to do- is that the story of Ryu and Kenā€™s origin isnā€™t interesting and has been done before. And the problem stems from the fact that the SF2 characters are cardboard cutouts without much in the way of depth. Dictator is an evil dude, Gief likes to rassle, Blanka is a beast dude, Chun is out to get revenge for her fatherā€™s death, and Ryu and Ken are generic karate dudes and one is more disciplined than the other. Thatā€™s about it and the games donā€™t venture any deeper than that. And their back story is that Gouken/Goutetsu taught them this martial art, they must control their anger or it will consume them, enter Akuma who has anger issues and kills their master and then they fight Akuma.

If you guys go in an entirely different direction with that than great. I welcome that. But to do the same old story weā€™ve seen before with characters that lack depth seems a little pointless. MK has a great and diverse assortment of characters that are interlocked in some way and you can create an interesting back story there. Same with the KOF characters. But I just donā€™t see it with SF.

Believe me there will be a lot of depth in this series

Another actor reveal

I know street fighter proportions are pretty ridiculous, but I still wouldā€™ve expected Ryu to be a bit more hefty

The series takes place from ages 12 till when they leave the dojo and return to find Gouken dead.

A lot of people think Ryu should be like his SF4 self lol. But Mike left a message on youtube in response to some saying something similar

  • ā€œGood thing Iā€™m currently 30 pounds heavier than theļ»æ action shots in this video :slight_smile: Thanks to all our supporters! Please share and encourage friends to contribute, we canā€™t do this without you all!ā€

Today we are happy to announce SENSEI GOUKEN!

Played by AKIRA KOIEYAMA

Please keep up all the great support for our KICKSTARTER and we can make this series happen!

The talent for this is looking fierce.

I was training with Mike for a while now. Heā€™s nowhere near as skinny as he is in the video. Heā€™s been really working hard on getting bigger.

They actually are using Asian actors for the characters, which makes me simply so happy. I was skeptical about this at first, however now after seeing the cast and seeing that they are really trying to harness Street Fighter into the real world of filming, then I am without question hopeful.

The casting so far is simply mind blowing and Iā€™m hoping to hear more from this in the near future.

what i wouldnt give for one of these things to have sean

That kickstarter is not looking too hopeful, despite the talent being added.

Yeh itā€™s a shame itā€™s so slow, need to some big investors

Director/Writer/Akuma Joey Ansah recently did an interview with FilmPulse.net http://filmpulse.net/episode-62-shane-carruth-andrew-leavold-joey-ansah/
A lot of details about the plot and the release format.

ANOTHER CAST UPDATE:

SHOGEN ITOKAZU, will be playing the young Goken, check out his video here:

You guys should do a fund drive on stream somewhere. It worked for the EVO donation drive and fir Lab Zeroā€™s DLC fundraiser.

Thanks, Iā€™ll look into that

Yikes, thought this wouldā€™ve exceeded the goal already :[

Say Furious One, are you involved with the production of the series at all?

Yep :slight_smile: But Iā€™m not going to be giving anything away lol
