It's got wrestlers in it which makes this a viable video to make.

"Doesn't finish a story" which is ironic considering Cody and Roman are in the movie 😂😂

Brian

Glad to see these guys loved it.

Darren Lloyd

Amazing Spider-Man 2 the last shot of the movie was slamming the manhole cover into the rhino and that clip was in every trailer

Leigh Herbert

The Jack Tucker reference caught me off guard but made me very happy

It works with the songs because it is in a different world, not ours. Hence, the songs could come out whenever and could be performed by whoever. Luke, chill out. If you are in real time watching a movie and freaking out about the time a particular song came out, you may want to talk to your doctor about ocd. Streetfighter world means they have their own lore.

To answer the question about why they didn't adapt Street Fighter's more recent stories: Capcom has heavily deprioritized the story elements of Street Fighter, nowadays the equivalent of an old-school arcade mode story involves a generic player-customized character and follows them meeting all the world warriors, but it is largely about the minute to minute gameplay, rather than the lore. (Also, as to Oli's Tekken question, it has far more of a "Story Mode" than SF does these days, and oh god it's insane) I must say, as someone who is super into Street Fighter, the rowdy content creator types that Oli had in his screening are almost guaranteed not street fighter content creators. The SF content sphere has become almost exclusively competitive tournament players streaming ranked and nothing else, and is currently in a bit of a crisis as there is so little charisma and excitement surrounding anything but big tournaments. Colossal nerd-out done, great review!

LUKE: You're overthinking it, there. It's not even a 'their world' thing, it boils down to simply a) was it from the 90s and b) does it sound cool. That's it.

Gordon Alexander Fallon

I fully agree with you on b. Does it sound cool. I shall disagree on the former though, because First Knight showed mixing music periods fit. Trust me, Luke, I love you. I am always rooting for in the Monday night wars. I am just in disagreement on this issue.

Backing up what Dina Aesir said, re; the current state of both Street Fighter as a community and how Capcom approaches the narrative elements of the game. The current state of Street Fighter's narrative is absolutely abysmal. There is, essentially, no story to be told any longer. The characters still have their big personalities, but there's no narrative motivations for anyone to be here besides "me want fight". And a big part of the why of this is a) current director Takayuki Nakayama, who took over as the lead creative in Street Fighter V midway through its post-launch support and therefore never had to touch the narrative stuff for the most part, by his own admittance, is not a story guy and 2) Capcom's heavy push for Street Fighter to be an all-encompassing e-sports brand means they only care about promoting the game to that end, and thus developed Street Fighter 6 significantly more like a sports game, with the single player content in SF6 basically just being the equivalent of a WWE 2k MyCareer mode. And that's also made the community into a shaped by this new extremely Brand-Forward way the game is presented, where the biggest names are all basically major league sporting hype beast types gleefully taking money from something as annoying but benign as Chipotle to something actively morally disgusting like Prizepicks or Kalshi. Everything feels like a big advertisement. Current day Street Fighter community, for lack of a better way to put it, feels like current day, non-chocolate WWE. It's rough out there.

Crazy thing is it was one of the best looking Rhino costumes. Not comic accurate but still awesome

Dina Aesir

Not to mention a direct parallel with WWE in the Street Fighter competitive scene's reliance on Saudi money to stay afloat i.e. Esports World Cup in Riyadh! I didn't even make that connection but you're 100% correct.

And obviously it could always be worse, SNK being how much worse this could be, but Street Fighter is definitely the face of the e-sports'ing of fighting games, certainly the most frustrating and vexing aspects of it. I am blessed to live in a place with a really strong local scene (well, "local", Texas is a huge place after all) where I have places to play and people to play against who are welcoming and community minded and whatnot, but we're all still in the shadow of this stuff and it feels like it's choking the joy out of the fandom and hobby, in some ways. Like I said, it's rough out there. But god help me, I still love fighting games and always will. So even if this movie feels... bizarre (for lack of a more neutral way of putting it) and will likely flop, I'm still always going to be down to pick up and play again if a friend messages me and asks for a match.

I really appreciate how this movie is so polarizing for you two, it makes for a fantastic watch. I disagree with what Luke is saying about how capcom should adapt the newer material instead of 2. As much as the lore has taken a back seat in the newer games, the fact is street fighter 6 is a much older more seasoned cast and acts to finally bring the timeline past Third Strike. Even if they were to adapt it, the amount of world building the movie would need makes this movie necessary in and of itself. As for making an original story we have seen how abysmal capcom movies are when they deviate, just look at The Legend of Chun-Li. For my money as a lifelong member of the fighting game community I had a blast with it, but I also recognize there are things that needed to be tightened for sure.

Guiles beef with Dan had me crying “I don’t know DAN, who in this tournament has a claw for a hand”

R.L. Barton

Street Fighter, like most games, would work better as a TV Show. The movie was a lot of fun and I'd see it again if my buddies decided to see it, but some of the lines felt forced and/or rushed because they had to squeeze so much into a 2 hour movie.

As someone who isn't a hardcore fan of Street Fighter and tends to be on the Street Fighter 2 side than the Street Fighter 6 side, I knew I wanted to see it when I saw the classic outfits in the first trailer. I was expecting camp and got it. I love the 90s aesthetic especially when they had ESPN and MTV in the 90s style. I'm so glad that the trailers never show the anime flashback scenes because those were the highlights. As much Liv Morgan would be able to pull the moves of Cammy, I want you to imagine Liv doing a British accent for the entire movie. I think Liv not in the movie was the best thing for all parties. I didn't expect I would enjoy Ken's character so much in the movie. So that was a huge positive of the film. I felt there needed to be a better merging of Bison and Akuma plots. So like Bison's reason for holding the tournament was actually to bring out Akuma not Ryu since he tried to kidnap Ryu after seeing him beating Sagot but witness the encounter of Akuma and Gouten. I'm glad there are other people thinking the same thing about Guile that I was thinking while watching the movie. So my head canon with Guile is that he's "undercover" so his jacked up man persona is a cover while his more serious side was briefly shown when consoling Ryu in the club and the call to Dhalism in the bathroom. Overall I enjoyed the movie.
