I haven't seen a drawing of the newcomers and that drawing of mika is alright so my theory is that the WW look shit because they're the oldest, then alpha and then new comers in terms of quality :]

They probably paid him shit and he phoned it in.
Capcom has been pretty cheap of late, so it makes sense!
Partially naked? There was some full on boobs on display, which still baffles me Capcom allowed that.
Yeah the scene is great. Like you said "Ultra" by KMFDM fit the scene so well.
Loved the movie. I remember in the UK reading issues of EGM in the early 90s that talked about or had some updates on the animated movie but never really saw it on sale or around.
It wasn't until a UK cable station called Bravo went through a re-invention in like 1994 or 1995 and began showing Troma movies and anime at midnights and one of the first anime movies was Street Fighter II uncut and unedited. I stayed up watching it and from that shot in the beginning to the end I was hooked and fortunately Bravo repeated the film a few times over the week so I could record it on VHS and then would invite my friends over to watch it.
I didn't even know about the Japanese version with an original score until like 10 years later but I have to say, the US version is superior.
This shot though...blew my mind at the time when you start seeing the little bits of electricity sparking off and then..
It's funny I actually popped in the "Uncut" NA DVD I bought a few years ago over the weekend due to the excitement for SFV and...damn the DVD transfer looks like shit. lol Is there a blu-ray available with a good transfer in the US?
I found it funny that SFIV tried to recapture that moment with Ryu's Metsu Hadouken (particularly the little exhale he does) but wasn't quite there.

Fuck that the dub track is what made it EXTRA AWESOME
It was kind of before Chun Li was more of a household name. Nowadays, she's too much of a mascot for Capcom to allow something like that, but back then? It's like when a young actress does a topless scene that follows her throughout her entire career, even when she makes it big.

Watched the movie nonstop when it first came out. I seriously watched it more than once in once sitting, then eventually rewatching all the highlights.
Street Fighter 2 V had a smaller budget, but I'm pretty sure it was directed by the same guy that did SF2: The Animated Movie
It's the next best thing if your a SF fighter fan who wants more SF anime.
Although the Movie is closer to cannon the series. The make some characters younger and older to mix things up.

Will it have re-translated subs? I've never seen it with subs that aren't just a transcript of the dub.

I remember renting the Japanese VHS when it first came out and enjoyed it quite a bit even without knowing the language. Never saw the US release since I heard about the OST being changed up which sounded kinda gross.
Darkstalkers had a pretty legit OVA iirc, but I haven't seen that in ages so I probably can't speak of it with much accuracy. Loved the Fatal Fury Motion Picture though. Must have seen it ten times when that came out. It had more of a fantasy adventure feel to it versus being entirely based on the game plot like that first (mediocre) Fatal Fury OVA.

I didn't give a shit about Fatal Fury
But then I saw the motion picture.
It's a sequel from the first 2 OAVs they produced. The style takes a bit of getting used to, but by the end I ended up loving the whole thing.
SF2 and Fatal Fury's movies are the best video game fans are going to get with anime adaptations.
That SF2: The movie Bluray trailer is from Aug2015
WHERE IS IT?

Everyone focuses on the tits, which still made it into the UK release of the movie.
...but the real victim is the ass shot, which only exists in the Japanese dub version, even the UK version censored it. Though a DVD with both versions is available in UK. I know because I own it.
Anyway, good game to movie scenes.
The entire final showdown in SFII animated movie.
Ken vs Evil Ryu in SFII V - The hadou vs hadou scene specifically.
Johnny Cage vs Scorpion in MK movie.
The Doom 3 FPS scene was great

Street Fighter II V wasn't bad either even if it changed a lot of stuff from the games.
Bison looked pretty dope in that blue outfit.

Mid 90s Bravo was ace, I used to just record every anime they put on and watch the next day because they were all on too late at night for young teenage me. Is where I first watched SFII too.

one of my favorite animated movies and the best videogame movie ever made.
here is my collection of the movie
u hype for the blu ray?
i only have it on the Xbox ver on SFAC, lol
Pretty sure the European Bluray version threw it back in. But again, it lacks the uncensored English dub.

Yeah, it was a fun ride, even though it fell to anime low budget pitfalls (reusing same animation, flashbacks of previous scenes) by the end.
Especially like how they met everyone (although some characters got left out.
Same guy that directed the Animated movie also directed SF 2V Gisaburō_Sugii
Yep, nothing else comes close.
Tell me I'll finally be able to watch the full, uncut movie with the English dub and soundtrack. I grew up with the UK Manga Entertainment release on VHS, upgraded to the NA 2006 DVD, and only the Japanese side is completely uncut. According to Wikipedia, only one of the Australian releases contained the English dub with no cuts.

OK so we established that Chun Li vs Vega is the best fight, what's the best awkward dub one-liner?
"Ryu, the vagabond who dropped off the earth... you dare compare him to meeEEEE?"
"Hey brush head, this is not a request!"
"See you around, my friend." (said all somberly by Fei Long approximately 10 minutes after meeting Ryu for the first time and getting his ass kicked by him)
"Us Japanese fighters gotta stick together... cuz we're brothers!" (fans frantically search through their Capcom artbooks trying to see if they missed a familial connection... is Ryu's full name Ryu Honda???)
soo many more

Really? I'm surprised because that version removed all the swearing, even tame ones, went censorship heavy.
Yeah, that's the thing. The English on that Bluray is all censored still. The PG version.
yea ill buy it. i dont really watch dvds no more except anime and i am starting to get the blue ray of the anime i have too lol.

Something to keep in mind is the dub is kind of a mess... it has different lines in different scenes depending on which dub you watch (the US "Unrated" cut--used for the original Sony/Manga DVD--vs. the UK "Unrated" version, which was used for the Manga DVD rerelease). The UK Unrated had more harsh cursing, but the US Unrated one was more mild, and only a bit different from the PG-13 cut, dialogue-wise.
This BD (and DVD!) version uses the full, uncut, Japanese film footage with re-synced versions of both US Unrated and UK Unrated dub takes. And on top of it, the BD will have a track with the English dub lines paired with the Japanese BGM/effects track (an oft-requested feature). And we're shooting for even more extras than that. Stay tuned.
As for the release timing, Late Spring - Early Summer is the tentative time frame I last saw for the Blu-ray (but that's of course subject to change if it comes down to it). A bilingual DVD using the remastered video and the two Unrated dub cuts is already out though.

Oh man im in 1000% for the Bluray release!
I just finished re watching my copy. I love this movie to death. That music during the chun li/vega fight scene is amazing.

Yeah Alpha definitely borrowed a lot from this movie. Really strange how an animated movie of a game was so good that the games incorporated ideas of the movie back into the next game.
But definitely one of my old favourites, even with the US OST. I mean it had fucking Alice in Chains with Them Bones. But as for this scene, I don't know. I mean it had a lot of suspense and was awesomely done...But the Bison and Fei Long fights were epic too. As was pretty much all the rest of it.

I fucking loved this movie when I was a kid. I remember seeing pictures of it in a gaming magazine back in the 90s and got so excited about it but without the internet back then who knew where to look for something like this. Then one day it was on the wall at Blockbuster. But someone else already rented it. So my older brother went back every so often until it was finally there and I finally got to see it.
It blew my 12 year old mind at the time. The fights were just so amazing. The first time Ryu charged up his hadoken when Sagat was charging at him gave me goosebumps. All the fights were fantastic. I loved how it seemed like they tried to apply some realism to the moves themselves. Like Fei Long has to wind up to do his flame kick. Still the best SF movie/show to date(yes, still better than Assassin's Fist though that is good as well). I haven't bought a Blu-Ray movie in probably 5-6 years but I will definitely get the Blu-Ray for this whenever it comes out.
As for Fatal Fury, didn't like the first two but really enjoyed the motion picture. The characters in that movie weren't grounded like SF though, they were way over powered. But still very fun to watch.

I had the Japanese VHS and I thought it was much better. I wanna say the music that played during the Chun Li and Vega fight was different in the Japanese version. Plus Vega's frenzied "You cut my face" line just sounded better in Japanese.
This thread make me feel like a kid again !
I liked this movie was it was no fatal fury the motion picture directed by famed martial arts director masami obari! 2 fatal fighters 2 furious battles!
But it did have better fight scenes though I remember watching this fight scene a bunch as a kid!
I remember after renting it at the local video mart or whatever it was the dude josh I think who worked there was like how he had a different cut where vega did some other stuff like lick the blood off his claw but "nothing crazy" it wasn't until years later while reading www.ign.com when they had an article about "ahem" hentai did I find out her boobies were on display!
Anyhow back to the debate fatal fury the motion picture had better voice acting (sulia!!!) better story line , mad qoutables and was a lot more cohesive which makes it the better movie...... Terry...... BOGARD!

There were some new releases of the 2 ova's and the movie that came out on DVD that were based on new transfers. Not HD, but a hell of a lot better than the original DVD releases, and also done by Discotek

You guys are magnificent. So glad this movie is getting the love it deserves. Please post links when preorders go live!
