Its time for a Street Fighter reboot. How would you make it?

[RAX 010]

Have Mike tyson play Balrog that's all I got for now

 

[BulletProof]

Kind of like those 90s street fighter animes.

 

[SunZoo]

Start with the animated movie as a guideline.




Take a look at everything that MK just did wrong (I didn't hate the movie btw) and like...don't do that.

 

[R=G]

honestly think it'd be hard to find a better Bison than julia.

perfect mix if menacing and goofy

There should be a gif thread on his M Bison

 

[R=G]

Plot:

Bison is an international criminal who holds a tournament at a secret location every year because he needs the blood of fallen warriors to unlock the Satsui no Hado and make himself super-powerful.
Ken, Zangief and Sagat enter the tourney to prove they are the best martial artists in the world.
Chun-Li and Guile are undercover as combatants so they can arrest Bison.
Cammy is undercover as one of Bison's 3 main henchmen.
Ryu enters the tourney to stop Bison from acquiring the Satsui no Hado and to avenge his master who Bison's other 2 henchmen Vega and Balrog murdered.

Cast:

Ryu: Yoson An
Ken: Scott Eastwood
Chun-Li: Liu Yifei
Bison: Nicolas Cage
Cammy: Natalie Dormer
Guile: Frank Grillo
Sagat: Tony Jaa
Vega: Ed Skrein
Balrog: Terry Crews
Zangief: Hafbor Bjornsson

Which is harder to you..to write movie scripts or write a novel??

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

Focus on Gouken/Ryu/Ken/Akuma
Keep it tight
Before going into SFII storyline
Could work but SF has so many time skips, revert backs, branches, retcons
It’s why a DBZ film doesn’t work
I just know I wouldn’t want American writers/directors near it
Would rather it come from a Japanese director/creator

 

[NZA]

i would follow the plot of enter the dragon pretty close

bruce lee = chun li
man with claw = bison
jim kelly = ken
saxon = ryu
bolo = sagat

it could be that the selling point of this tournament is the use of energy based attacks that defy the laws of physics. if you have never been to this tournament, you would think that is just some urban legend. only the most connected rich people and the illuminati would be allowed to watch this tournament

 

[Givethanks]

How we fitting Akuma into this

 

[Max.]

Thats a good question

Maybe 2 stories...one with ryu/ken the other chun li...

You have to ask yourself..what kinda movie realistic or stuff like ryu shoots out fireballs? First off i dont know a whole lot about SF...i was a MK kid more..


Ryu and ken story: ken steals $$ or some shyt that belongs to m bison. Bison send people to find them ex: vega etc...ken gets kidnapped half way thru and ryu has to save him..which leads to ryu fighting sagat at the end.

Across the world in underground fight pits...sagat and m bison are looking for the best fighters that fight to the death.

Chun li story is m bison killed her parents n kidnapped her lil sister now she wants revenge and to kill bison. Guile helps her and wants to take out bison for crimes.

In the 3rd act RYU,guile and chun li work together to save ken...free him...they beat up henchman and arrest or kill Bison(u can always save him again for 3rd film)

The end would be the 4 find out of tournament on a island with the akuma symbol on a paper/computer showing files of things like BLANCA etc with info sayn thats where her lil sister is being held along with other women and kids. The next film would have more characters.

Make a new anime joint.
Dont nobody wanna see no fakkit ass live action SF.

 

[Monsanto]

Plagiarize the Tekken animated movie from the 90s and insert Street Fighter characters.

 

[Kang Deezy]

Make it a movie about a tournament with fighters from around the world. Sagat would be the antagonist. Leave Bison out of it, initially.

basically do blood sport but with street fighters

do backstory for the characters and then the tournament is like the last hour at minimum

 

[Vandelay]

Exactomundo.

It can be a distinctively character-driven story where you have flashbacks to each characters backstory, how they ended up at the tournament.

I would introduce Bison in a subsequent film as someone who was warlord in a war torn country who was trying to take over that country who had an obsession with the occult and that's how he got his "psycho" powers. Maybe tease him as a shadowy figure in the first movie who isn't revealed. He was from Thailand in the game, but that never made any sense to me, it could be some other southeast Asian country. Sagat would just a skilled fighter who believed in Bison's mission. And Sagat recruited Balrog and Vega from previous tournaments; all of them are helping Bison overthrow the government that Bison is a Warlord in.

I would include the supermoves, but I wouldn't go overboard with Hadoukens, hundred hand slaps, and fire-breathing, but I would have it come out in parts. I'd let the actual fighting be as realistic as possible. I wouldn't try to put any scientific explanation to it...it's Street Fighter, it doesn't really work well in live action any way so I wouldn't explain why someone could do a hadouken other than they were just a master of their art.

The tournament is just underground fight with the who's who of the best fighters in the world. All of which are extended by invite only secretively. Hell, I'd use Balrog and Vega as people to personally reach out to all of these fighters in person all around the world. Rather than fight all-around the world, I'd have them come to an island near where Bison was from.

 

[Neuromancer]

Ken and Ryu are the main characters. We start with Gouken training them and Akuma kills him. They train to go the World Martial arts tournament hosted by Sagat because they know Akuma will be there to find the strongest fighter. Akuma kills Adon and Ryu defeats Sagat who then goes to Bison who put up the money for the tournament. That sets up the second movie.

 

[ORDER_66]

use the same animation team to do a new movie... based on SF5 and the fall of bison...
