“Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist” is an upcoming Capcom sanctioned live-action webseries from the creative team behind the noteworthy web short, “Street Fighter: Legacy.” The series will explore the early days of the two primary "Street Fighter" stars Ryu and Ken and the story of their tutelage under their master Gouken, who must decide how much of the ‘Asatsuken (Assassin’s Fist)’to pass down to his two pupils after experiencing first hand the ill-effects that befell his younger brother, Akuma. Gouken struggles with whether his two young trainees Ken and Ryu will split along the path of light and darkness just as he and Akuma did under their master, Goutetsu. In addition to portraying Akuma, Joey Ansah (The Bourne Ultimatum) will direct from a script he co-wrote with Ken actor Christian Howard. Togo Igawa (Memoirs of a Geisha, The Last Samurai) will portray grandmaster Goutetsu. Mike Moh (Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight ) plays Ryu. Hal Yamanouchi who portrayed the elderly Yashida in "The Wolverine" will portray Senzo while actor Mark Killeen, who had a brief but memorable guest spot on "Game of Thrones" as Mero has an unspecified role. Filming aims to be wrapped by the end of August for an early 2014 release. Courtesy of CVG we have our first look at Goutetsu and Senzo—

This looks good, giving me that Kevin Tancheron vibe. If they follow the MK pattern with this we may actually get a decent Street Fighter film someday...

Once upon a time I was a huge fan of the street fighter mythology, but part 4 ended that. Is Senzo from part 4 or part 1?

@Cipher, I loved the fight between Ryu and Fei Long in that movie. Think I'll watch the whole thing right now.

That is a great fight. I really like the opening fight between Ryu and Sagat and the Ryu Fei Long fight PeterDarker mentioned as well. That soundtrack is pretty dope too.

Yeah man I loved seeing that on screen after reading about it for a few years prior, kinda pisses me off that they changed things in the story to accommodate the whole Evil Ryu character.

@marvel72

They showed off some in progress screens maybe a year and a half ago but news has pretty much been non existent since. I think they will probably just save it for PS4 and Xbox One now.

This looks promising. I thought Street Fighter: Legacy was just one fight scene. Is it a short or was it just one fight scene?

You all just wait this series is gonna blow Mortal Kombat Legacy out of the water... Cause these guys are true fans who are sticking super close to the source material from story to fighting style they are doing it perfectly!

Ah, The Legend of Chun Li I remember that late night run to the abortion clinic. Never got over the fact Chun Li got whiter as she grew up.

Not really a SF fan (always been more into Tekken and MK) but Legacy was awesome so I'll be keeping an eye on this.

SF: Legacy was sick, and with actual Capcom money behind it, "Assassin's Fist" could be as good as MK:Legacy!! Can't wait.

Can't be worse than The Legend of Chun Li.
