Street Fighter Alpha: Generations

This film is set before the first Alpha Street Fighter film and is mainly about Akuma (Gouki) and Ryu. Other street fighter characters make appearances but they seem just put in and not really relevant to the main story, Ken and Sakura. You do get to see Akuma's brother Gouken and their master Goutetsu. All in all quite short which seems to be good as this is not that entertaining, the story moves very slowly along. The animation is different to the first Alpha film which is good cause that was plain terrible. So Capcom seemed to get one thing right in this prequel. But shouldn't be considered a whole street fighter film as not many of the characters are present.

I give it 5 out of 10 and only because the intro fight scene and music at the start was pretty entertaining.

I'm glad it has the Japanese language track available as I despise only having a dub (prob. just wouldn't watch if if that's the case) version available. I thought the animation quality was good. Some of the fight scenes are cool. Parts (like the old man) are funny some, and the girls are quite pleasing to the eye. It might be odd to find cartoon girls exciting, but anyway, Fuka is intriguing and beautiful and Sakura is quite sexy in the bathtub though the only thing beyond a G rating in this movie is the violence.

This movie might not be very interesting to you unless you like either ANIME or Street Fighter. I loved playing Street Fighter (II) and my 1/2 Japanese son is named Ryu so I had to watch this movie, I wasn't expecting it to be any good so I wasn't disappointed.

For what it is, a movie based on video game characters, I give it a 9 of 10, but just rating it compared to other movies I guess I would only give it a 6 with the disclaimer that it is short.

I recently watched Street Fighter Alpha: Generations (2005) on Tubi. The plot revolves around a mysterious force that is taking control of fighters like Sakura, enhancing their powers. Iconic characters from the Street Fighter universe, including Ken, Ryu, Gouken, and Chun-Li, must uncover this power and find a way to confront it.

Directed by Ikuo Kuwana in his directorial debut, this film boasts unique and entertaining animation. The characters are portrayed well, and the fight sequences are worthwhile. It excels at introducing the characters with cinematic flair. However, the storyline lacks depth and could have benefited from more development. While it serves as a prequel, it feels somewhat condensed, resembling the start of a movie rather than a complete feature.

In conclusion, Street Fighter Alpha: Generations is a must-see for Street Fighter enthusiasts and offers a fun animated experience, though it could have been longer and more elaborately explored. I would rate this a 6/10 and recommend watching it once.
