Nearly four years after multi-faceted actor and director Joey Ansah and co-director Owen Trevor fireballed the interwebs with the impressive three-minute short film, Street Fighter: Legacy, online platform Machinima will be hosting the next level of that very conception with a new series that aspires to surpass all expectations…and, of course, for which we have ourselves a FINAL trailer!
The most successful and most loved fighting video game of all time, Street Fighter’, is finally being given the epic, and faithful treatment it deserves.
Street Fighter: Assassins Fist takes us back to the formative years of the iconic characters, Ryu (Mike Moh) and Ken (Christian Howard), as they live a traditional warriors life in the secluded, mountain wilderness of Japan.
Training under their master, Goken (Akira Koieyama), the boys are the last practitioners of the ancient fighting style known as Ansatsuken (Assassin’s Fist). Originally developed as a killing art, masters of this style are able to manipulate their Chi/Ki energy into devastating special techniques of potentially fatal power.
As Ryu and Ken learn about the mysterious past of their Master Goken and the tragic and dark legacy of the Ansatsuken style will the two best friends become bitter rivals as their training intensifies and reaches a climax?
