Street Fighter Alpha Generations [DVD]

The main thing I thought watching this is why does it exist? It claims to be a prequel to Street Alpha, but clearly isn't. The best way to really describe it would be as an epilogue to the Alpha film. Ryu and Sakura didn't actually meet in that, so it could conceivably be set after it. The only other way this could really work continuity wise is as a sequel to the Street Fighter II V series.The story itself is almost pointless. Ryu fights Akuma/Gouki. That's it. You do get a couple of quite nice flashbacks into Akuma's past, but it's nothing anyone was really clamouring for.Some of the animation in this one is quite nice (the spirits and the effect the Hadou creates), while some of it is less impressive.Overall, it's worth a look if your a die hard Street Fighter fan, though you'll be wondering why they couldn't adapt SF1 or SF3 instead. Rent it, have a look, then watch Street Fighter II (it's loads better). If you're not a Street Fighter fan, you're probably better off elsewhere.

I had many hopes for this movie, but the biggest down side is the lenght. It doesnt even break the 1hour barrier. Just as i was getting into it i needed more. Animation is good and generally its not bad. Im a huge street figther fan and this is a must for any collection. The movie highlights the early years of the characters when akuma was still a little sane but on the verge of being completly swallowed by the dark chi, and the murder of his master Goutetsu. Ryu, Ken, Sakura star in this plot. Capcom stop toying with us and finish this, BUT PLEASE MAKE THE FINISH THE MILESTONE FOR ALL MANGA PRODUCTIONS TO ATTAIN, AND BLOW US AWAY! i trust u will

Good but overall a bit short

it is not as good as alpha or street fighter 2. but still beter than street fighter staring van dame. shame i was expecting to see epic batle but all i seen was a disapointing fight scene. if ur hard core and wana folow the street fighter story get this. if not dont

Just poor. You'll learn little and enjoy it less.The story is short and doesn't expand on the history in any meaningful fashion.A waste of £2.49

The animation is simply awful, the charters look nothing like they do in any other street fighter game/book/movie and the story line is completely crapVery disappointed and definitely avoid this and just watch street fighter alphaIm actually a huge street fighter fan so i wish someone had told me how bad this is

I only bought this on DVD to fill in the collection. Otherwise, it's boring and not really worth the time or money.

I have all the Street Fighter animation and this has got to be the worst of them all. To think that I have waited a long 6 years for another Street Fighter to release and this is the best that Capcom can bring. The story line is confusion and is on another page that simply does not relate to the Street fighter series at all. Only 45 minutes long, the fight scenes are poor and did not satisfy my expectations. Fans will be disapointed because this is something you would not expect from the makers of street Fighter. If you are new to street Fighter then Street Fighter 2 the movie and the STF V 2 collection is highly recommended as an alternative.
