I've never been that fond of the Street Fighter games. Mostly because I'm just awful at fighting games. But I always enjoyed the stories of Ken, Ryu, and Akuma.
So when I found out about Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist, I was excited, but leery. Mortal Kombat: Legacy was wildly mediocre and jumped between characters too much to have a cohesive story, so I was worried this would be the same.
It wasn't. This has a solid story that ties together nicely. We get to see their training over a period of a couple of years. We also get to see flashbacks that show the birth of Akuma.
The special effects are great for such a small production. The costumes look the way they should, and the fight scenes are well choreographed. The friendship and rivalry between Ken and Ryu is the best part, as both actors pull the characters off nicely.
It's only 12 episodes, which is kind of short. But they were a fun 12 episodes. I would have liked to see Gouken fight Akuma after sending Ryu and Ken away, but I guess that's for next season if it gets one.
Solid 10.
