10/10
A more faithful version of the Street Fighter than the movie
18 February 2008
In the mid 90s, USA created a Street Fighter series that followed some aspects of the 1994 film and mainly attempted to keep it close to the source material.

In the show, Guile leads a task force of Street Fighters to stop global terrorism, usually, M. Bison's Shadaloo. Some of the changes of the movie (Balrog a good guy and Dee Jay a bad guy) were corrected to the original storyline, special moves were more prominently featured and characters like Akuma and Feilong, who were left out of the movie featured in the show.

Other movie changes/additions like Chunli being a reporter, Zangief aligned with Shadaloo and the existence of movie character, Sawada were kept. This led to a pretty decent vibe to the show.

In addition, characters from other Capcom games were featured most notably the Street Fighter Alpha and Final Fight series.

When I was a teenager I enjoyed this show because of the action-packed nature of the show, which was carried over from the video game it's based on. I give Street Fighter a perfect 10/10.
