This is "the" Street Fighter film you have been waiting for!

After two dismal attempts to bring Street Fighter into the film world by renowned studios who brought you this and that also brought us heartache, tragic childhood memories and diminished faith that no one was EVER going to do this right...

... but in 2010, sitting in Dennys with a mate, I go to check Youtube to see what was trending and then.. "woah, hold up.. what's this? The thumbnail before me struck a nerve and without hesitation, I clicked play. Joey and team had created Street Fighter Legacy (and at the same time, Thousand Pounds Fight Company, released one as well minutes before) It blew my mind.

I knew this was a good thing. For the fans, for Capcom. I waited a long, agonizing 4 years to see that Joey and the team had been working on Street Fighter Assassins Fist. The whole world waited. And watched. And waited.

Then, Friday, May 23rd 2014, Machinima release the entire series to their adoring and hardcore fans on Youtube - FOR FREE - and it won us over. Won the fans back. Won me back. It had everything you could possibly have hoped for, longed for.

The Gi's. The actors. The settings. The locations. The art department. The tone. Story. Pace. Hell it even had a Surge Fist full of Hadoukens, Shoryukens and Tatsumaki's to satisfy the most avid SF fan! Backstory of Ansatsuken, Satsui No Hdo/ Dark Hadou. Mu No Hado/ Power of nothingness explained. Akuma's incarnation... and heaps more other stuff that I won't mention.

Yes. It is THAT good! Yes! It is THE Street Fighter live action movie that you have been waiting for!

It was awesome. No words can explain it. I have no problems whatsoever. (SPOLIER HERE - BEWARE) Though, I would have liked to alter the scene where Ryu 'takes off his headband'. It would have been awesome if the flames from Ken's Shoryuken was the cause of Ryu losing his headband (burned/set alight into embers) That's just me tho. It was still awesome!

10/10 - Ya can't go wrong! Joey and them team - Masssive congrats and Arigato from me! SFAF is the mantis!!
