Tekken: The Motion Picture covers the first Tekken while setting up Tekken 3 and skipping Tekken 2 completely.

It runs into the same problem as Mortal Kombat: Annihilation where the game series tells a specific overall story but the movie cuts corners to tell the same story. This hour-long anime is almost great but just can’t stick the landing. Kind of a bullshit move, considering he’s supposed to be the half-brother to middle-aged Geese Howard. Gone is his mustache and forehead scar for the sake of making him seem younger. While a fun romp, the worst thing about this sequel is how they redesigned Krauser. Terry starts drinking and falls to pieces while his buddies hope to get revenge. He’s just a dude with huge shoulder armor who wants a good fight.īut everyone acts like Krauser’s the absolute worst. Krauser shows up one day, challenges Terry to a fight, wins, and says, “Okay, when you get better, train and fight me again.” Krauser isn’t trying to take over the world or murder orphans or whatever. The problem is that Terry comes off as a bit of a whiner and the other heroes try way too hard to vilify the movie’s main antagonist, who hasn’t actually done anything that terrible. Going Rocky III is the perfect direction for a follow-up. The basic story is that after having avenged his father’s death, Terry hits rock bottom, dusts himself off, and comes out the other end stronger. Of the Fatal Fury movie trilogy, this one is easily the best, even if it makes all the good guys seem like a bunch of overly-serious crybabies. If this were a drinking game, it would kill you. She’s wearing her form-fitting Street Fighter Alpha costume and there are dozens upon dozens of random close-ups to her lower torso from the front and back. Probably the funniest thing about this movie is the directors’ infatuation with Chun-Li’s midsection. Street Fighter Alpha: The Animation does at least get by because the original characters play up Ryu’s whole fear about being overcome by “the Dark Hadou.” This leads to some cool animations where Evil Ryu looks like a mindless, shambling zombie but also an unstoppable fighting machine. But the movie does also have some brief but awesome cameos (Kim Kaphwan and Geese Howard from Fatal Fury and Dan Hibiki and Akuma from Street Fighter Alpha) to brighten up a less-than-stellar plot.

It features a cast of heroes from a fighting game taking on a villain created for the movie instead of the villains we actually give a shit about.

This movie suffers from the same problem as Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture. STREET FIGHTER ALPHA: THE ANIMATION (1999) Ryo’s incorrect hair color kind of irks me, though. It doesn’t take itself seriously and it’s a fine, breezy watch. In the 45-minute Art of Fighting movie about Ryo and Robert, who are like chiller and dopier versions of Ryu and Ken, we watch as the duo gets sucked into a plot about stolen diamonds, martial arts criminals, and angry police lieutenants. Does that mean Dan dates his own sister…? Well, except in Capcom, where Dan Hibiki is literally both of them merged into one character.

Her brother and her boyfriend are two different people. Take away those aspects and you’re left with a rather lowkey storyline for a fighting game where a teenage girl is kidnapped by a mobster and is rescued by her brother and her boyfriend. The Art of Fighting series is mostly defined by the twist that the first game’s final boss is the main character’s father and the second game’s final boss is a younger incarnation of the villain from Fatal Fury.
