I just hope that
[details=Spoiler]Goutetsu stays fucking dead.
If you take even that kill, Akuma has became the more ineffective killer ever [/details]
Oh right yeh, he was either blown back by the SGS or Goutetsuâs fireball. I think itâs probably the former.
Ha! I loved the Gouken Dash too. He did it really well.
And their always ass.
cant believe Christian Howard is english, he really nailed that american accent, mofo has dem acting skills
Finished watching just over 12 hours ago. I am still in awe. Just some short thoughts.
Spoiler
Like some, I was a little underwhelmed by the ending because, I was expecting to see everything end with Goukenâs (apparent) murder at the hands of Gouki.
Yet nevertheless, in the hours that passed, I kept thinking about SF:AF. And very clearly, what stuck with me the most was not the fight choreography and the special effects (which were all done GLORIOUSLY).
What stuck the most was how realised the series had made the relationships between its 7 primary characters- Gotetsu, Gouki, Gouken, Sayaka, Ryu, Ken and Mr. Masters.
Above all, the greatest triumph that Joey Ansah, Christian Howard, and the crew have brought, is a world of fighters who donât just fight each other. Itâs a world where they are family to one another. A world where they can have genuine, relatable emotions, and understandable motivations. With great care, the movie shows us how Ryu and Ken are brothers, and Gouken is their father. With slow burning tragedy, the murder of Gotetsu by Gouki is shown, as fratricide. Even Sayaka, who seems like an extraneous element plays an important role- the daughter of one man, the love that Gouki must abandon, and the placid domesticity who is denied Gouken.
This isnât the live action movie weâve been waiting to see. Itâs the live action story weâve been waiting to see played out⌠and itâs this killer attention to humanity of our Streetfighters that truly makes Streetfighter Assassinâs Fist the greatest live action film based on a fighting game of all time. I can only hope that the crew has much much more in store for us.
Finished watching this.
Phenomenal series, seriously. Not only does it obviously leave things open for the future, it is 2 complete stories in itself. (Gouki/Gouken under Goutetsu and Ken/Ryu under Gouken). The settings were beautiful and very fitting, the actors looked the part really well. They incorporated many of the story elements of the SF universe and expanded on some of them. The special cameo was hilarious, and the Megaman 2 reference and references to SF soundtrack were awesome. What was most impressive however, was the fighting. Street fighter is a fight game series, and I was amazed at seeing the various moves so accurately depicted in live action. The fight scenes were also spectacularly choreographed and exciting.
Well Joey has shown you that fans can do it better than the studios, no reason for the anime fans to start their own animated adaptation, just look how popular some of these youtube cartoon channels are. You also have the tech to make 2D cartoons out of 3D assets which should make the entire process much simpler.
Out of curiosity how much is good animation worth?
I imagine its cheaper then 2 million?
More damn it. I want more!
(That ending was so very bittersweet)
@âSenninSRK
sigh Look dude, we have enough SF anime as it is. Also, as itâs already stated, the reason why Joey and his crew made this live-action is the same reason why a few other independent fan film makers (like Thousand pound productions and RobotUnderDog just to name a couple) are making their adaptions of video games and anime franchises live action; to prove to Hollywood and the fans of said franchises that its possible to make a good live adaption of any IP as long as you have the right cast and crew. THATâS ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS WHY THEY DID IT THIS WAY!
Do you get it now?
i disagree.
Please more SF Anime
Iâm still of the opinion that SF2 Anime is the best Street Fighter adaptation ever made. It canât hurt to wish more of that focused on other SF characters or other games besides SF2
Well regardless of whether or not this would have worked better as a live action series or animated series, I think the good news is that this can open up lots of potential future SF related media.
Depends on the quality that you want out of it, Akira was 1,100,000,000 yen ($10,787,700).
Redline took 7 years to animate.
Ponyo was 3.4 billion yen ($33,343,800)
However for smaller pet projects like Assassins Fist, we can look at Voices of a Distant Star which is 25 minutes long, consisted solely of 2 characters, and took one guy on his mac ~2 years to produce. In comparison filming for Assassinâs Fist about month and a half.
The amount of man hours and effort that goes into animating something is not trivial at all. Youâd need a pretty big ass team to produce something movie length, with the same associated quality as well.
Have you ever wondered why thereâs no more 2D kids movies like Snow White and Lion King anymore? Itâs because theyâve all transitioned to 3D CGI since itâs cheaper. To put it in perspective, I pulled this shit off the internet.

Making an anime is fine and all, but thatâs not the bread and butter for Joey and his team. They decided to make a live action SF and hell did they deliver.
Finished season 1 today, really awesome will post a review eventually, but yeah loved the buildup and all :tup:
Well in changing the topic I have to say this is also the most manly"bro terrific"thing Iâve seen in awhile. Almost as manly as the1990s TMTN movie and berserker.
It amazes me how many brits can nail a good american accent and yet, we canât nail a good english accent. LOL!! Also, seeing this series, I would love to see a fight scene with AFâs Ryu and Ken vs. Thousand Pounds Ryu and Ken from the SFXT short. That would blow the minds and nerdgasms of every fan of SF.
Gimpy you can normally tell when a brit does a US accent tho, they normally go for a southern accent as its much easier to pull off, but I thought Howard was a genuine sunshine Calefornian kid, didnt even realise until I checked out SF:AF on imdb checking for trivia
And yea your right dont think ive ever seen a yank pull of a brit accent, Mel Gibson did alright with a scots accent but then that man is godtier. Wait I think hes austrailian hmmm.
You know what bothers meâŚwhy do these masters keep saying the dark power thing is so terrible.
Instead of forbiddening it and growing curiousity just acknowledge it and explain why itâs a bad idea. Furthermore why the hell does it even exist if it isnât meant to be explored. Someone should at least attempt to harness it and try to control it.
Yea Mel is Austrailian.
