    The best adaptation of the Street Fighter story.

    From the actors chosen to the music and the setting of the short films, this rendition of Street Fighter is better than all of the movies made in Hollywood. It was great to see the story as the focus and the history instead of just the fighters. Everyone needs to watch this and help these guys get the recognition they deserve for just loving the game and franchise as we all do! Hearing the Japanese was amazing and I hope they do a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th season. Storyline 10/10 - They stayed true to the Street Fighter Story. Visual effects 10/10 - The graphics and animations used were very accurate and didn't cheapen the films at all. Actors 10/10 - the choice of actors used were very good and the actors really held true to a real life rendition of these characters. Music 10/10 - The music was amazing and held true to the franchise.

    Finally STREET FIGHTER is done RIGHT !!

    After years of disappointment from Hollywood putting out horrible films of this beloved video game franchise, now we have an independent director come and do the film JUSTICE! This was just greatness. I've played Street Fighter all my life and now recently have become an even bigger fan because of this movie. Street Fighter Assassins Fist is what the fans have wanted for so long!!!!!

    I applaud everyone who put their hard work into doing this project and hope for many more in the series to continue!! It also inspires me as a martial artist to continue my training further. The movie really goes in depth storyline wise and that is what makes this project such a beautiful thing- sticking to the script!!! Why is that so difficult for Hollywood directors to understand ::shaking my head::? BRAVO on a job well done guys!!!! I'll be watching for future projects!

    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

    Finally a decent SF story

    Street Fighter Assassin's Fist: Finally the story we have been waiting for, the way it was meant to be told. A brief but comprehensive history of the Ansatsuken fighting technique, the mythos that surrounds it and the destiny of 2 brothers and the paths they follow .From the masters that perfected the technique through the generations.

    Hollywood has traditionally failed fighting game genres like street fighter with over the top fight scenes and special effect coupled with a weak storyline.SFAF does not fall in this trap , instead focusing on the story of the fighters,the history behind them and their motivation. The fight scenes are brilliantly done because they are integrated in a believable way, as the warriors practice and understanding of the ansatsuken technique grows.

    For such a low budget offering, the storyline and "feel" of street fighter is faithfully upheld and expounded upon, this is my favourite rendition yet, culminating in the rivalry and friendship of Ken and Ryu....Very well done and thank you!!!

    Much better than I'd hoped

    The people behind this project left us all salivating for the better part of a year waiting for this series and I was worried it would be a let down. The SF Legacy short film was alright but kind of cheesy with moments of greatness sprinkled in. I knew they had a decent budget this time(considering) and a lot more time to actually tell a story that SF fans all love. They nailed it! I didn't have high expectations going in but this series actually gave me goose bumps several times. The cinematography, music and acting(mostly) was fantastic. The writing was also top notch with just enough hum our to keep the pacing from getting stale. What they were able to do with a couple million dollars is really exceptional and I loved the series as a whole. The Asian man from across the lake was absolutely hilarious! The only thing keeping this from getting a 9 or even a 10 was Christian Howards acting. Most scenes where there was dialog were fine but there were a few where he just didn't seem believable. He absolutely nailed the look of Ken Masters however and better than anyone on earth potentially. The rest of the cast were fantastic though especially Gaku Space who played Goki and Hyunri who played Sayaka.

    Overall this was a fantastic series and I will patiently wait the next chapter in the series no matter how long it takes!
