Seth claimed to be superior, as a result of his Seth is the 15th of 26Įnhanced beings that use data collected from the world warriors to create aĭeadly style of martial arts. Hisīody has been modified using cutting-edge technology. A silly, shoddy mess of a show with numerous production flaws, shoddy voice acting in both language tracks and juvenile storytelling.Master", is the CEO of Shadowloo's weapons division, S.I.N. Only the most hardcore of Street Fighter fans, or those put off by how much the latest Street fighter movie deviates from the game, will be able to sit through this. Even fans of anime itself may be put off by the lousy production values of this show. In summary, this OVA prequel is not worth the extra 20 bucks for the collector's edition. On the other hand, There are a few scenes of well used 3D CGI and the "special power" scenes aren't too bad. A far cry from the muscular gritty look in the game. The art leaves much to be desired with many of the characters sporting a "puffed", roundish, cartoony look. Characters stand as still as statues throughout lengthy conversations without so much as a twitch aside from very basic mouth movements(yes the mouth movements and word shaping aren't even properly synced to the voices in both the Japanese and English versions) The fights are brief and utilize a lot of animation short cuts and a low frame rate resulting in jerky punches and kicks. There are many scenes which involves just long boring pans over landscape or a single talking head with monologue looped over it. The coloring is flat, shadows and shading are present but only in the simplest form and on close-up shots, and the animation movement is very stiff. The quality is inconsistent, looking more like a low budget TV series than a OVA. Now on to the animation itself since this is what sets this apart from the game. The characterization and personalities are give and take at best but if they are keeping true to the characterizations in the game, then i can only blame the source material since many of the characters in the game have been based on cultural and one dimensional personality stereotypes. One can't help but feel that the climax is a throwback to the cheesy 1994 Jean Claude Van Damme Street Fighter movie with the main characters joining forces to invade the enemy stronghold and defeat the power mad main bad guy. The main storyline about some experimental molecule destroying weapon plays out like a pre-teen adventure spy storybook with minimal intrigue or sense peril to the characters involved. Other than the character driven subplots of Ryu and the dark Hadou, Ken and his wife, the other plot threads are thin and boring. OK so it is a prequel of sorts to the game, but even so, the story is less than interesting. It serves as a lead in to the game's main storyline which is a sequel to the Street Fighter II game. There is no difference!Ī 65 minute OVA released together with the collector's edition of the new Street Fighter IV game. It is the courage to stand up in the face of evil and emerge victorious! That is why I fight! I fight to rid the world of such diabolical power! I'll show you what true strength is. It can only destroy that which is good, to seek it invites your own demise. The power you're after is the opposite of this. The power humans possess, that is the source of and destination for all of life. The power I seek is nothing like what you describe. Your words did help me to understand one thing. Ryu: And yet I never truly understood just what power is, or what it means to be strong. And I do not run from the power I hold within.
