They made Street Fighter films too real, which still ended up with a campy M. Bison, whereas as ridiculous the Jackie Chan moment was, at least you got to see a guy do these absolutely ridiculous moves that made Mortal Kombat fun. Meanwhile, Legend of Chun-Li attempted to do that, to no effect, given how dark the story was, with its gore.
A lot of people love Street Fighter II: The Movie more than they like Street Fighter Alpha. I don't get why.
Alpha's animation is better.
The dark Hadou and and even the Super Hadoken are way awesome, albeit its been a 5 year upgrade, probably at the golden age of anime, after those of Perfect Blue, Neon Genesis Evangelion and Cowboy Bebop.
Its story is better and I could actually remember it!
I guess it didn't have a Chun Li nude shower scene though!
(I suppose that element did have elements of Psycho to it then again.)
I guess I'll stop here before
I rant. If anybody has a really good Street Fighter II review, please send it to me and we will compare
I watched Street Fighter Alpha: The Movie at my peak in college anime years about 5 years after it came out.
Napster and Kazaa were growing. Akira, Street Fighter Alpha: The Movie, Spriggun seemed to be the biggest internet hits in the pseudo US Revolution against Pokémon and Yugioh.
Fittingly enough, the main super villain for the Street Fighter Alpha movie is an Akira-inspired villain over 10 years after it came out.
The characters have Evangelion-ish eyes. It wasn't as ultra real as Rurouni Kenshin: Betrayal & Trust: The OAV, but it was hella good.
