Sort of a Smallville-esque look at the Street Fighter story, the story will explore the early days of Ryu and Ken and their tutelage under Gouken, who must decide whether to pass down all the secrets of the ‘Asatsuken’ (Assassin’s Fist) fighting style after experiencing the ill-effects that befell his younger brother, Akuma. Featuring some of the game’s most iconic characters, it will also show how the past, present, and future of all of those characters are intertwined.

The full series will be available on Machinima on May 23rd. Until then, you can enjoy the trailer and the short film that started it all!
