Street Fighter movie drops second trailer, sets October 16 release

gamingSep 1, 202626696

The new Street Fighter trailer, pushing the film toward its October 16 release, centers the Ryu and Ken rivalry and teases an unexpected Evil Ryu cameo while giving E. Honda a moment to land iconic moves. Conversation fixes on character beats: people are pointing out Chun-Li's non game-accurate costume even as many celebrate the movie's gleefully game-faithful fight beats and homages like Hadouken audio cues used in odd places. Reactions split between nostalgic glee for a campy, game-flavored adaptation and nitpicks about tone, lighting, and the film's action design, with a running joke about how the trailer makes sure to get the thighs right.

Judging the quality of the movie solely by how closely it adheres to my bro's empirical power scaling chart from 3 years ago

at least you get it

@alexnavarro.bsky.social

it's good they're doing the mostly game accurate thing for the Street Fighter movie because the people who've been complaining about that sort of thing since the '90s can finally see once and for all if that was a good idea or not. it probably wasn't, but they should get to see the theory tested.

Clearly a movie based solely on a paragraph of text in a manual is destined to elevate the form.

Korlis1

it seems to work for the length of a trailer, I will not be reflecting on whether it holds true for the feature

John Wilson1

It being directed by the guy behind the Eric Andre Show is the only thing giving me hope

Big Captain1

As a tokusatsu fan, approaching it with that mindset has made me really interested in how it turns out. I have loved the Netflix One Piece so far for this exact mindset, too

Here’s the thing: with a video game movie you CANNOT BE ASHAMED OF THE SOURCE MATERIAL. This is why Mortal Kombat II (2026) works over Mortal Kombat I (2021). I don’t think this movie will be a cinematic masterpiece but it seems to be shaping up to be a fun STREET FIGHTER movie

It just sucks that the cast is rife with terrible dickheads who I don't wanna look at

Metaphysician1

I agree but there's one exception, as I feel like we wouldn't have the best video game movie of all time if there wasn't *some* shame over the source material. I am of course talking about Super Mario Bros. (1993) which I saw in theaters; I unironically appreciate how crazy they got with it.

Yeah definitely going to need to emotionally-compartmentalize two sets of reactions for this between: "This looks like a serviceable October genre movie, if it were better Paramount would've put it in Summer" versus "I WAS 11 IN 1992 GIVE ME ALL OF THIS RIGHT NOW" www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6sb...

So what you are saying is, inside of you there are two wolves?

I'm thinking this might end up being another Godzilla:KOTM review where half of it is just you saying "It's Awesome!"

I'm the same age and this movie is somehow speaking to me on a spiritual level.

This trailer is a significant improvement over everything else they’ve shown! They might have been able to put together a decent popcorn flick here. And even though I was very disappointed with Chun-li not getting a game accurate costume, she looks like the coolest character in the movie!

i am so fucking down for this oh lord

formthehead6

this feels like a fake movie they'd show inside of a Ready Player One movie

jeff6

Every shot of Guile screams "when your custom character appears in the cutscene" lol Surprisingly the coolest part was Honda's hundred hand slap. The only Iconic Move that didn't look like they were trying to reproduce the sprite on screen, for the better

roastedtato2

This one definitely feels like the best trailer so far. Guile with the comic relief, Akuma looks brutal, Zangief, somehow, larger than his in game height and showing it off, Honda looks sick, and the tatsumakis are crisp af. I think I even spotted a spinning bird kick and it didn't look out of place

MC_Lovecraft2

This looks like exactly the kind of stupid trash I would love, but I have serious doubts about David Dastmalchian as Bison. It seems like he was cast mostly for his physical resemblance to Raul Julia, and you really don't want people making that comparison.

I look forward to pirating this when it drops on VOD 3 weeks after it bombs at the box office

Ham18

This somehow looks like overproduced dog shit and bargain DVD bin dogshit at the same exact time. That live action Tekken movie from the late 2000s looks better than this. But if you wanna give your money to the Saudis and support Andrew Schulz because of nostalgia then go see it I guess.

I hate that this looks so great (in the sense of being stupid and fun) because it has Andrew Schultz & I do not want to give anything he’s been in any money

Luke-Joint Jezebel7

this has ignited all my senses

Tomato Like A Bus ,5

See, I knew this was going to be a good ride. At first I was sad that it looked like "3.5 good guys and the rest are baddies" but seeing Dhalsim in a car with Guile kinda sealed the deal here.

Each trailer this new Street Fighter film seems goofier (in a good way) than he one before. I'm at the point of "They should've just animated this they're going so hard"

The marketing team really feels like they understood the assignment.

That new Street Fighter trailer looks like something that’ll please one group and only one group, and it’s people that don’t want or expect better. If you’re excited for it, good for you. I’m happy the slop factory produced yet another thing you like. Feels like AI wrote this shit.

Okay, it bugs me in that STREET FIGHTER that they play the sound clip for the "Hadouken" when Ken is doing a "Shouryuken." There, I said it.
