This movie left me impressed & disappointed. It revealed something about Ryu, but the story itself was confusing. I've been a Street Fighter Fan since '88, and the problem is that "they" keep changing the story. It's like some one at Capcom can't stay the story line that was given previously. If you've played the game and watched the other animes, you will notice that they are almost completely different. Nothing is clear about the characters' background or their reason for fighting. There are similarities (like the characters' names), but there are way too many plot holes. If you like Street Fighter, this movie is for you, but if you're a hard core fan whole likes a story with some foundation, then watch this just to watch, because you'll be a tad disappointed.

This movie is great if you have no previous knowledge of Street Fighter.
