A lot of it is from Generations.
-SNH damaging Gouki
-The fight between Gouki and Goutestu ended the same way.
-The SGS creating a Ten parting of the clouds.
-Gouki losing to Gouken
They took the best parts of Generations and jettisoned all the crap.
A animated series would allow them to go crazy with the KI stuff though and capture the authentic look of the characters. The SF2 animated movie did a good job and plus itās cheaper to animate.
btwā¦ken was basically perfect besides the wig. the writing and personality are everything ken has been to meā¦one step away from being joe higashi lol.
Thatās not necessarily true, Animation is really expensive depending on how nice you want to make it look. Also they donāt need to go crazy with the Ki SFās not really about crazy Ki shit (Least not till SF4 with auras out the ass an shit.) The point in the story they are at doesnāt involve crazy ki shit anyway. They pulled off the Ki shit they needed to just fine.
Besides I already gave you two reasons why they wouldnāt want to animate it, and one reason right from one of the collaborators mouths for why they didnāt.
i actually never saw itā¦people always told me it wasnt worth it.
How will they nail the supernatural elements and the crazy super human featsā¦
The way they did in this mini series. With intense training to do what can be done practically, and using CGI when they have to.
I have some counter points in bold under your answers.
i think they may have taken the hand gesture for hadoukens from sfv2 seriesā¦not the kata part.

I absolutely loved it. I hope this does great things for the Street Fighter franchise and they make a Season 2.
Big thanks and congrats to Joey Ansah and Christian Howard.
I do have some questions and some theories thoughā¦
Spoiler
Who are Ryuās parents?
What was the special scroll the Goutetsu gave Gouken?
Who was the old monk that left Ryu on Goukenās doorstep?
Who is the crazy old fisherman who gives Ken sh*t all the time?
Where does Sayaka go?
Was that Guile they bumped into when they entered the bar?
Why was Danās name on the wall of Ansatsuken Masters? Isnāt he too young?
I have some theoriesā¦sort of.
THEORY 1
I think the scroll explains how to either survive a raging demon or how to bring people back to life.
We witnessed Gouken bring Ryu and Ken back life (or maybe just consciousness).
I say these things because we know that Gouken is alive in SF4. So he either survived the Raging Demon or someone brought him back to lifeā¦like Ryuā¦?THEORY 2
The old Monk and the crazy fisherman are the same person. Kind of reminds me of those old kung fu movies where the fool turns out to be the master after all.
Actually, makes me wonder if itās Goutetsuā¦like somehow he also survived the Raging Demon / came back to life, having read the scroll in my first theoryā¦I donāt know. But Iām glad they added a layer of mystery. And Street Fighter is all about secret characters!
Iāll have a go at answering these.
Spoiler
Who are Ryuās parents?
Never elaborated upon. One guess is as good as any.What was the special scroll the Goutetsu gave Gouken?
Could be what you thought it was. Or it could just be a symbolic gesture as Goutetsu passing on the mantle and knowledge of everything Anasatsuken down to Gouken.Who was the old monk that left Ryu on Goukenās doorstep?
Who is the crazy old fisherman who gives Ken sh*t all the time?
The same person. Comic relief character that they created specifically for the series, Goma
Street Fighter Resurrection | World Warrior | Assassinās Fist Thread
**When he hands Ryu over he is far from comical and actually appears to have powers and a sense of destiny. He disappears in a mysterious way and speaks to Gouken somehow from distance without raising his voice. If itās the same character the crazy fisherman is an act to disguise a powerful mysterious character.
**Where does Sayaka go?
To birth to Ryu Somewhere lolWas that Guile they bumped into when they entered the bar?
No Guile. Only Ono.
Iām talking about the American military dude who literally bumped into them and stared them down and Ken said āwhatās his problem?ā He didnāt have crazy hair but this was the pre Alpha time period⦠Otherwise what was the point of that scene?Why was Danās name on the wall of Ansatsuken Masters? Isnāt he too young?
I think that wall was just the name of practitioners? Dan briefly trained under the tutelage of Gouken before getting kicked out. From this it mustāve been before the time of Ken/Ryu.
Really? I didnāt realise he trained with Gouken. I thought he trained with Go Hibikiā¦I have some counter points in bold under your answers.
Go Habiki is Danās father and he was killed by Sagat after he gouged out Sagats eye with his thumb. Dan went to train with Gouken but was kicked out when Gouken realized he was drivin by revenge.

with the guest shotā¦its implied dan is alot older than ryu and ken. but i was thought they were around the same age.
I just realised something:
[details=Spoiler]Togo Igawa plays Goutetsu and Goma.
My theory is the Goutetsu survived or was brought back to life after the Raging Demon (probably by Gouken).
This means they will be able to say the same for Gouken when he gets killed, since he is alive in SF4.
Iām guessing that they use the knowledge that is in the scroll that Goutetsu gives to Gouken. The knowledge is probably how to bring people back to life (or use Ki to survive / regenerate).
We saw Gouken bring Ken and Ryu back to life.
Anyway, just a thought.
If Goma is the same monk who brought Ryu to Gouken then clearly the comedy is an act. The monk appeared to have powers.

Naw Dan is much older, like 30 or something in the Alpha series.
Hope Sagat is in the next one.
there better be an epilogue when this comes on tv or dvd. cause that last episodeā¦def need more.
Really enjoyed that, loved how the old man just trolled Ken throughout the whole thing, also wtf Dan is an Ansatsuken master? Thought Gouken only gave him a few lessons then tossed his ass out.
12 short episodes was a pain in the ass, hope they do a movie version.
I feel the way it was cut that it was filmed as a movie, then chopped into episodes and the DVD/Blu Ray release will be movie format.

it basically got the kill bill treatment.
curiousā¦the defense against the hadoukenā¦were they talking parrys?

it def has to be more than a few lessons. he did learn the basics to hadouā¦ryu and ken it took like 10 years to get to that point. he was a true student, but his intentions were probably not revealed til much later. (just going by this version of the history).
Plot twist: in this series Dan is actually Akumaās nick name. Everything makes sense now. #Kappa
