For the best live action Street Fighter my (kind of) joke answer is Bloodsport. Though seriously i would say that the fan film Street Fighter Assassin’s Fist is pretty great. As far as a new movie i do think that trying to keep things mostly grounded and doing a tournament style movie like Bloodsport would be great but i would expect it to be a CGI heavy movie instead, which just isn’t as interesting to me.

People are harsh on the previous live-action Street Fighter film, released in 1994…

That wasn’t the last official Street Fighter movie.

I second this. Technically a web series, but the DVD release had it cut together into one long movie (the running time on the box is 152 minutes). I still haven’t seen Joey Ansah’s second series, Resurrection. The mockumentary Balrog: Behind the Glory also deserves a mention, though it’s likely to have little to do with what an official Street Fighter movie might try.

The announcement means nothing more than we already knew. The acquisition of the right to make Street Fighter content implies they intend to make Street Fighter content. A movie is the most obvious choice. They’re probably at the phase where they’re looking for producers, writers, and a director. (Or whatever order things go in. I can’t accurately pretend to know that much.) All I can hope is that they don’t make Ken’s role in the film too small.
