A review of the first season of Street Fighter Assassins Fist

Excellent series, it gives Ryu and Ken the proper introduction and back-story they deserve. There's no real requirement to have a die hard knowledge of the street fighter saga to enjoy this but lets be honest if your watching this series its almost certain you've played at least one of the games, and if not, by the end you will have an higher understanding of the origins of two of the most central characters that made Street Fighter one of the most recognized titles in the fighting genre. I was unsure what style this would take but i was blown away, the cinematography is excellent along with the casting choices, there performances the writing and special effects, all come together to make this an original and authentic street fighter experience. Considering the budget for producing this series was small they make excellent use of the environment, they chose a perfect setting to gives this an authentic feel. The relationship between Ken, Ryu and Master Goken is excellent and gives the story depth, it also sets the stage for what looks to be an equally enjoyable second season. A big thanks to all involved and to all those that donated to kick-starter to help get this made. 10/10

The formative years of Ryu and Ken

This is a really good watch for everybody who played the famous Street Fighter video game when they were younger. But it also worth a watch for everybody who didn't. We follow the two young men I mentioned in the title of this review on their road to becoming supreme martial artists. Ken is the more extroverted of the two, Caucasian and truly talented, who really looks more like a surfer than like as fighter. However, he is also probably sometimes too boastful for his own good. Ryu is the calmer one, Asian, with an advantage in mental strength and he does not fear any challenge no matter how hard it is to achieve or how long it will take him. The two are like brothers.

This mini-series is written and directed by Joey Ansah, who also plays a character in here as he is a trained martial artist himself. I read that he next plans a similar miniseries starring Guile and Chun Li and I'd certainly love to watch that. Now about this one here, it runs for 13 episodes (including a very short prologue) and has a total runtime of roughly 2.5 hours, so you can really watch it in one go. Each episode runs for 10-13 minutes. The actor who plays Ken here helped Ansah with the script. Ansah made a short film back in 2010 together with him already, but still with a different actor for Ryu. I have to say this mini-series here is maybe at its weakest when it only focuses on Ryu and that happens a couple times as he is probably even more lead character than Ken. Still the two do belong together and also get a great ending where they go off into the world with their trainer staying behind. And as Ken says at that point, the adventure had only just begun. Occasionally, I felt in the second half that they may not have enough quality material to make this worth watching for 150 minutes, but every time I began thinking like that, the level rose once again quickly after, for example in entertaining moments when Ken cuts of his ponytail or when the two protagonists play video games themselves. Pretty hilarious moment. If they had actually picked a fighter game, this would have been a truly odd situation. But in a positive way of course.

The whole thing came out exactly a year ago today and that is why I decided giving it a look, but also because I really loved the video game as a kid. Recommended and I would love to see a real Street Fighter movie soon including more than only two crucial characters.

Boring DVD

Yesterday I saw "Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist" on DVD with my wife and two friends and two of us have taken a nap along the movie. We all find it very boring with tedious story and screenplay. There are two parallel similar stories of Ken, Riy and their master Gôken in the present days and young Gôken, Gôki and their master Gôtetsu in the 50's while learning to fight "Ansatsuken" with different conclusions.

Reading IMDb Ihave just found that "Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist" is indeed a TV Mini- Series. Based on the IMDb User Rating, it seems that out opinion it might be based on a problem with the compilation. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Street Fighter: Punho Assassino" ("Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist")
