Update: The full GamePro interview with Joey Ansah has been posted."The plan was always to do more," he said. "I always wanted to do a series or a movie and this ended up being the best [method]. If the fans get behind it -- which they have -- it's going to make it all the more easy to get the real deal off the ground which is the next step. We would love to do a couple of movies, maybe a trilogy or a prologue series and then a movie."
"Given how many fans there are, if you do new media [like] Xbox where you can get content full HD, with great sound, and most people have nice flat screens, I think that's the way to go," Ansah said. "So you could have maybe these 10 minute episodes that you pay maybe 50 Xbox Points or the equivalent of 50 cents. We would like to try something like that out."
Thanks to Ognipode for the heads up.
Even if people who commented here at eventhubs gave negative reviews of this project; I really appreciate real Fans trying their best to do what Hollywood is not doing.
Hope they continue making more and someday we get to see a real full length street fighter movie the way it is meant to be in the world that Fans created.
Forget the BS that a good Fighting game movie is impossible. I say if film is not good it is because the team didn't do their homework and were half assed.It is far from impossible.
Hollywood writers, producers and Directors do a video game film because you love it and know the subject well. Don't just to collect a paycheck. well I am only the voice of the wind and no one will hear but is good for fans to vent out.
the movie was fantastic in my opinion. it's funny that the limited budgets and tech these guys had actually look better than most hollywood movies that have come out as of late. this simply proves that you don't need a crap ton of money and bad actors/fight choreography to make a film about a video game.
these guys should hook up with the other team who did a really kick ass job of sf short clip.. they were real fight stunt coordinators so maybe thats why...
but the more the better!
YO who ever gives negative review SHUT UP they are doing 20 times better than the holliwood producers, with the wack ass street fighter pst movies. These people have a little budge and limitted resoucer. Try making a clip like they did with those two problems. KEEP IT UP GUYS YOUR DOING AN OUTSTANDING JOB AND ARe DELIVERING A TRUE STREET FIGHTER CLIP, SERIES, OR MOVIE/project. 3 minutes of the Ryu vs Ken was worth the money i spend on SF the movie and the THE MOST HORRIBLE MOVIE EVER!! the legend of chun li. I have high hopes and if you guys release a movie with the same inspiration i'll see it over 10 time BELIVE ME
Ok, I'm sorry, but it's one thing to make a super short special effects clip, and entirely another to make a full-on movie or series that makes sense, with believable actors, and a script that makes sense.
Critics can voice their opinion too you know. Cool to hear they will continue, but this is nothing more than a special effects clip with decent lighting/costumes.
I hope they make more videos of street fighter legacy. If they continue with the project, that's fine because they can handle it.
I wouldn't say it's mediocre. I appreciate how much work was put into the fights (tho Ken's Shoryuken was a little wonky, but in a totally cheesy awesome way). Sure, it was little more than just special effects and costumes, but they were brave enough to pull it off despite knowing that there's gonna be haters out there. And because of that, these guys deserve respect, and I'm gonna support them on their next endeavor. What do you think could've been done to make it better tho?
I think Street Fighter will always work better as animation, and if you were ever to see some form of the series in theaters again, the Powers That Be would probably be much more likely to approve of some form of computer-animated production proposal than anything else.
But regardless of how it is enacted, it needs to be story-driven. Productions like this short film are essentially just exercises in recreating the look of video games. I wrote a seven-page comic book that managed to tell a story in that amount of space, so I feel like even a film of only a few minutes certainly has room for a real narrative drive. Projects that only play off of the fact that they offer something reminiscent of video games upon which they are based—instead of using that as a springboard into a real story with a wide appeal—will remain marginal.
Please dont make any more movies in your back yard....
Theres plenty of kitten videos on youtube that have a million hits, too, you know... this is street fighter garbage and makes fans look stupid
And no I'm not playing, postal has to be the best adaption of a game into a movie ever mainly cause of how offensive it is. and Yes I'm talking about an Uwe Boll movie.
Anyway a video game/anime movie can be done right if given to the right director and it is the right property (Ridley Scott/Berserk,Wachowski Bros./Gantz, Zack Synder/High School of the dead)
All hype and no substance. If it takes a year to make this 3 minutes raining/weather demo in which shoryuken does not turn/rotate and forward jump kick that does not move forward, I'd rather wait for a more capable group.
I was excited and I am disappointed.

yeah I'm pretty sure Flaming Shoryuken doesn't rotate until after the hit is done
Ryu is Jon Foo
I'm his biggest fan.
