The characterization and personalities are give and take at best but if they are keeping true to the characterizations in the game, then i can only blame the source material since many of the characters in the game have been based on cultural and one dimensional personality stereotypes. One can't help but feel that the climax is a throwback to the cheesy 1994 Jean Claude Van Damme Street Fighter movie with the main characters joining forces to invade the enemy stronghold and defeat the power mad main bad guy. The main storyline about some experimental molecule destroying weapon plays out like a pre-teen adventure spy storybook with minimal intrigue or sense peril to the characters involved. Other than the character driven subplots of Ryu and the dark Hadou, Ken and his wife, the other plot threads are thin and boring. OK so it is a prequel of sorts to the game, but even so, the story is less than interesting. It serves as a lead in to the game's main storyline which is a sequel to the Street Fighter II game. Seth: Power is power! There is no difference!Ī 65 minute OVA released together with the collector's edition of the new Street Fighter IV game. It is the courage to stand up in the face of evil and emerge victorious! That is why I fight! I fight to rid the world of such diabolical power! I'll show you what true strength is. It can only destroy that which is good, to seek it invites your own demise. The power you're after is the opposite of this. The power humans possess, that is the source of and destination for all of life. The power I seek is nothing like what you describe. Your words did help me to understand one thing. Ryu: And yet I never truly understood just what power is, or what it means to be strong. And I do not run from the power I hold within.
