Street Fighter Resurrection is what we got instead of World Warrior, which supposedly Capcom is working on right now. Supposedly. The film takes place ten years after Assassin's Fist. So the tournament, Alpha and all that has happened already. Laura Matsuda is on this as well. But her backstory is not accurate with the video games. On this her grandfather Hiraychi Matsuda was murdered by Vega under Shadaloo's orders.
But actually, Laura's grandfather is named Kinjiro, and he's alive. I guess they wanted to kind of copy Chun-li's story so they could add her on this movie. Speaking of which, where's Chun-li? Charlie Nash is a big character in this movie, I love how they added his theme song in here, but there's something they got wrong. When he fires a sonic he says "Sonic" not "Sonic Boom!" Sonic Boom is what Guile says.
I also can't believe that we had to wait till the end of this to see Laura use her electricity. Even then, it was so brief you had to play it in slow-motion. Also, lol. A character named Fur Long. It's like they wanted to add Fei Long but they made a parody. That's funny! 😂😂
One of the plus sides to this was M. Bison appearing at the end. They chose a great actor, but the sad thing is we don't see him fight Ryu or Ken. The reason why is that this film is a big advertisement for Street Fighter V the Shadaloo falls storyline. But this story doesn't really serve as a prequel because there are inconsistencies. Like them teaming up with Nash at the end to go after Bison. Ken meeting Laura at his dojo, rather than meeting her in Brazil with Chun-li and Cammy.
So, this is okay I guess, even though it's a big ad. It's still better than the god-awful original 1994 film. But not as good as Assassin's Fist. Bring on the World Warrior movie Capcom!
