"The trailer shows a fair bit of the film's fight sequences which, regardless of what else happens in the movie, seem pretty dope. Fighting game storylines are usually pretty minimal and silly, and we'll see how the movie handles the actual narrative and dialogue when it comes out later this year, but what it does seem to nail already is cool fights, and that alone might be worth the price of admission."
"Narratively, Ken and Ryu seem to be the focus. The former has become, as Chun-Li puts it, a 'sideshow,' or a washed-up has been. Ryu, meanwhile, has gone off the grid and been a drifter, until Chun-Li finds him and drags him into a tournament where the two rivals will finally face each other again."
"The whole thing is giving '90s camp. Street Fighter's cast is pretty stacked, not just with Noah Centineo and Andrew Koji leading the film as Ken and Ryu, but with some inspired pulls in the supporting cast as well, such as Jason Momoa as Blanka."
The new Street Fighter movie trailer highlights Ryu and Ken's struggles in their fighting careers. Set to release on October 16, the film showcases exciting fight sequences. The narrative centers on Ken's decline and Ryu's re-emergence, with Chun-Li playing a pivotal role in bringing Ryu back for a tournament. M. Bison's involvement hints at a larger conspiracy. The cast includes Noah Centineo and Andrew Koji as Ken and Ryu, with Jason Momoa as Blanka, promising a mix of nostalgia and action.
