Street Fighter Alpha Generations

Editorial Reviews

The OVA Alpha Generations serves as a prequel to the popular Street Fighter continuity that includes two movies, a TV series, and another OVA. (There's also a live-action Street Fighter based on the same video game.) Ryu returns to the mountains where he lived as a child to visit the grave of his original martial arts master: Gouken was killed by Gouki, a renegade student who embraced the "dark Hadou." Much of the back story is related by an old monk who helps Ryu in his training and explains the ancient origins of the evil Hadou that turned Gouki into a demon. The monk's wisdom and the gentle presence of his granddaughter prepare Ryu for his inevitable battle with Gouki. The minimal plot unfolds in disjointed fragments, but fans of the Street Fighter series aren't looking for compelling narratives: As four members of Japanese cast say in the special feature, "watch the fighting scenes." (Unrated, suitable for ages 15 and older: violence, grotesque imagery, brief nudity, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

So, anybody else hear about this? And if so, are you gonna get it?

I have heard about it and seen the trailer. I have always loved SF animated movies, but the animation on this doesn't appeal to much. I think this one is going to be rental first.

Hey, I did a search and nothing came up. The sumb***h should have put Alpha in the title. At least I got a pic and a summary. So

Add to that that his was more of a gripe thread more than actually talking about the movie. All in all I saw a clip of it and the animation is a little shoddy by Anime standards I'd say.

as much as i loved all of the toon street fighter so far( the movie, alpha and V) the animation in this has really put me off, its a terribly low standard, i might just wait till it hits the bargin bin or goes on sale

hey, just thought you might want to see what others who have already discussed what they've seen thought about it, considering your thread only had one other post and was on the second page when I found it.

By having that Akira like animation was the biggest mistake. They shouldve kept the animation of the Street fighter II animated movie. And th story was okay. It couldve been better.

Yeah it was a real turd.

I was really disappointed in this movie, considering how awesome the first street fighter alpha animated movie was. oh well.
