Street Fighter TV Series In The Works At eOne

[Cicada 5]

A television adaptation of the popular video game franchise is in development, and it?s likely to meet the expectations of a generation of Street Fighter fans. The team behind the live-action web series Street Fighter: Assassin?s Fist will produce the new TV series with enthusiastic support from Capcom.

Mark Gordon of Entertainment One told Deadline he wants to deliver something that gamers have been clamoring for. ?Street Fighter is a global tour-de-force franchise, having garnered immense worldwide commercial success and built a vast devoted fanbase that has only grown through its 30-year legacy,? he said. ?We are thrilled to be teaming up with Joey, Jacqueline, and Mark, who are already so deeply connected to this brand, to bring this adored story to television audiences everywhere.?

The show will use the World Warrior events in the Street Fighter II sequel as inspiration, following Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, and Guile in their struggle against M. Bison. Fighting tournaments organized by Shadaloo will likely be pivotal events in the series.

I liked Assassin's Fist so this might be good. Look forward to it.

Noooo a Street Fighter TV series should be animated.

Street Fighter is way too cartoony for Live Action:


And that was the best possible Street Fighter adaption yet.

Also Akuma > M. Bison.

I am a huge fan of Street Fighter the Animated Movie, but Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist is also a well-done Street Fighter movie.

Damn straight. Most animu can fuck off, but I still have my original 23 year old VHS copy of that, and I'm not planning on chucking it at any point. Great soundtrack too.

I think Assassin's Fist did a really good job of adapting SF to live-action. And I wish they would do the SFII timeline, so far they did the good origin story. And I've seen the same cast in a post-Shadaloo episode that set up something that looked interesting. But they kept referring to that part of the story around SFII, and frankly that's what I want to see.

Why? Like, seriously, why?

It's basically going to be a PG UFC with shitty Arrowverse levels of CGI magic stuff tossed in.

It's made by the guys who did Street Fighter Assassin's Fist which is considered to be the first good video game live action adaptation. I think it will be good in their hands.

This sounds like a terrible idea. It should at least be good for a laugh.
