Lets compare what we know about SF, and where the writers went wrong in that piece of shit movie in a nutshell.
RYU AND KEN: The Actual Story: Ryu is a master of Nin-Ansatsuken and Ken is a spoiled brat who is Ryu's friend, and rival.
The Movie: Ryu and Ken were FUCKING CON MEN.
E. HONDA: The Actual Story: E. Honda was a Sumo Champion, a Yokozuna, from Japan who fights to prove that Sumo is as great as any fighting style.
The Movie: E. Honda works as Chun-Li's associate, and a former sumo champion from HAWAII...
BLANKA: The Actual Story: Blanka was a plane crash survivor from Brazil named JIMMY who grew up in the wild.
The Movie: BLANKA IS NOT CHARLIE, He did not transform into a beast by watching a movie in 3D, and he looked like a puny pocket hulk.
GUILE: The Actual Story: A man from the AIR FORCE seeking revenge on Bison for the fall of his friend.
The Movie: Same as above...only with less dedication, the lack of special moves (as to EVERONE), working for the A.N, FUCK YOU Van Damme for the bad Haircut, and making Street Fighter yet another one of Van Damme's cliches.
CHUN - LI: The Actual Story: A Detective from Interpol seeking revenge on Bison for her father's death.
The Movie: A News Reporter seeking revenge on Bison for the death of her father.
ZANGIEF: The Actual Story: The Red Cyclone who fights for Russian pride.
The Movie: The Big Red Retard who couldn't do a thumbs up properly.
DHALSIM: The Actual Story: The Master of Yoga who can sense the powers of those with potential (Ryu).
The Movie: A LAB DOCTOR with HAIR who is responsible for Blanka's Transformation, and then Dhalsim MAGICALLY TURNS BALD AT THE END OF THE MOVIE.
BALROG: The Actual Story: Member of Shadowloo and Bison's enforcer.
The Movie: Chun - Li's cameraman for the news, and is actually on the forces of GOOD....yeah, BULLSHIT!!!!
VEGA: The Actual Story: Bullfighter and Assassin for Shadowloo who is a nobleman by day, and a sadistic murderer by night.
The Movie: Sagat's partner as an ARMS TECH DEALER.
SAGAT: The Actual Story: The Emperor of Muay Thai, and wanted revenge on Ryu for a scar on his chest by having a clean rematch with him.
The Movie: He's an ARMS TECH DEALER, not to mention he wasn't 7'4" at all.
CAMMY: The Actual Story: A member of a British Army called DELTA RED.
The Movie: works with Guile for the A.N.
T. HAWK: The Actual Story: Member of The Thunderfoot Tribe seeking revenge on Bison for what he did to other Thunderfoot tribesmen and his Father...and Daughter.
The Movie: Works for the A.N, looks like a retarded Nightwolf, served no purpose at all.
DEE JAY: The Story: A cheerful fighter who fights to the rhythm of music...for fun.
The Movie: Works for Shadowloo for desperate need of cash...what..?!
SAWADA: The Actual Story: Yeah...um..who the FUCK is THIS?!!!
The Movie: Soldier of A.N...but THIS Guy replaced Fei Long...
But again, WHO THE FUCK IS THIS GUY?!!!
BISON: The Actual Story: Head of the Organization Shadowloo...back then was Shadowlaw, with a quest for world domination.
The Movie: Dictator of the ISLAND of Shadowloo who couldn't fight for SHIT and basically got owned throughout the entire movie, who in the real story, would OWN EVERY single Character in the Street Fighter II roster. (No Disrespect to Raul Julia, RIP, for it wasn't his fault that people hired an actor with no martial arts knowledge for a role that would involve FIGHTING.
Basically, the writers didn't know the story, but liked the game, and just mixed all these characters along with their pathetic ideas in a pile of shit, that turned into this piece of shit movie.
Just Like MK Annihilation, only "Street Fighter" was the most SUPERIOR to being the SUXORZ in movies based on video games.
