Really glad to see you are all really enjoying it 
As someone mentioned early, no news on the TV and BluRay/DVD release dates, but an announcement will be made at some point.

I'll never understand this post-Zack-Snyder obsession with random slow-motion in fight scenes. 'This kick should be slow motion! And this one! Not that one, but both of the next two, and then fast slow fast!' It's even worse that they kept the camera steady and used guys who know how to fight, because you know they had something decent and then consciously chose to ruin it. When it comes to martial arts fights, the faster the better.

Where was this filmed? It looks a lot like Oregon.

Bulgaria, weirdly. Makes a pretty good double for Japan, though.
I do agree, but the thing is this doesn't technically happen for a while anyway... at least in theory.
Ryu goes wandering for a while, and it's when he returns he finds Gouken dead, and at that point it's recent. So it's probably a year later? It would make sense as the thing to open a Season 2 with.

Bulgaria.
Wow! Thanks
Wow! Thanks
Yeah I know. I guess I just want more aha. I can definitely see it being early/mid season 2 material.

That was a touching moment.
Ohhh shit!
Just finished episode 10, this is excellent so far. Definitely succeeded in making me feel for these characters even more than before. The cameos and shoutouts have been great, and it's been fun seeing the dots get connected, so to speak. Now to watch these last few episodes.
Mega Man 2!!

I almost shed manly street fighter tears.
There were quirks like Akuma looking bit goofy but for that Street Fighter feeling the show was perfect!
I want more!

Different people did MK.
I think the
All and all, I enjoyed that series way too much. Seriously, it was so well done. The small details, from the way they interpreted moves, to footsies, to different representations/outfits of each of the characters being on display, everything. I believed in this project since Legacy and when Assassin's Fist was announced, and TBH I don't think this sort of translation of the lore could be done better.
They hinted that for a Season 2 they would likely want to start with the world tournament, which is much more logical than
It's about their warrior journeys now; which essentially leads into the tournament and Bison. Hopefully this is a stepping stone to opening up bigger budgets so that they can better implement CG for characters like Dhalsim and such.
The only thing I was anticipating that never really happened was

Man, it's so crazy how both MK and SF both got their best live action treatments through small series' on Machinima.
lack of a Gouken vs. Akuma fight makes a lot of sense, it doesn't happen for a long time anyways, and they sort of have to reconcile that with what happens in SF4 with the reemergence Gouken. I'm not so in tune with the canonical explanation behind it, but it could be cool if Ryu accidentally revived him using Gouken's healing techniques like he did to Ryu and Ken during the series.

red hadoukens from Ken. Even though it sort of makes sense because he acquires the red flame or w/e capabilities at the end, I still would have liked to see it

Seriously though, I enjoyed this much more than the MK webseries and I loved the MK webseries.

Do you know anything about SF? Just curious.
The dialogue is pretty good. There is a bit of cheese in there, but it is minimal (and in some cases, intentional).
I mostly enjoyed it because of the Street Fighter lore, not much because of the fights. Honestly the fights looked kind of goofy in places, especially any Shoryuken.
Also it made me laugh in a few places.
I watched the anime series back in the day and have played many of the games.
Then you are hopefully aware that it has never taken itself entirely seriously.
Haha true. I guess my expectations were higher due to my friend hyping it so much like yes it will be neay but god damn its just SF.
