Great animation with a story that seems more in common with Dragon Ball than Street Fighter. Still good for any SF fan.

I always did enjoy this Street Fighter movie more. It is so amazing. Watched this so many times, and could still watch it so many times.

The focus is around Ryu (Yea, big surprise!) as he struggles to not succumb to his inner "dark hadou", a "Dark Side - Star Wars-esq" power that resides within him.
With its decent fighting & less than decent story line, it is a predictable & saddly unworthy component to the Street Fighter saga.
