“A movie based on the Street Fighter game? But it doesn’t even have a plot!”

I’ve heard this line before. A few times. Whenever I talk to people who don’t know much about Street Fighter, it’s always the first thing they say.

But any true fan of Street Fighter knows about its rich world, its colorful palette of characters, and complicated web of varying interests and betrayals. No story? You’re just not paying attention.

The way I approached the writing of Street Fighter’s script was simple. Throw away everything and start with character. For just a moment, forget about the fights, forget about the costumes, forget about the flaming Hadoukens… go back to the essence of what the characters are about.

See, I think the Street Fighter world is epic. I think it’s got a huge story, and it’s busting at the seams.

But to start, it would be a HUGE mistake to say, “How many characters can we pack into this movie without regard to whether it makes sense?” Think of the X-Men franchise. Think of the way it started with a simple story of Wolverine trying to find a place in the world. And then it spawned an entire universe of amazing characters. If we didn’t keep this movie grounded, we would risk turning Street Fighter into a parody of itself. And to those of us who are fans of fighting franchises, the last thing we want is a movie that doesn’t take itself seriously.

It starts and ends with character. Everything else is just window dressing. Easter eggs (keep your eyes peeled…). Setups for a sequel. Moments that reference favorite moves from the game. They are all secondary to what a good movie should be about: the people in it.

And there are many great people in the STREET FIGHTER franchise. Ryu vs. Ken is the obvious one. Sagat and his quest for honor is another. It was just a question of picking one hero to start it all, one who’s never really gotten her moment in the spotlight…

Chun-Li. She comes from nothing. She’s an unlikely hero. And then, against all odds, this little girl who everyone wrote off eventually saves the day.

You don’t get any better than that. She’s a movie legend waiting to happen. And believe me, if this movie finds its audience the way I think it will, fans should brace themselves for many more Street Fighter movies. This isn’t just another video game adaptation. This is the beginning of something we’ve never seen before.

Get ready for it. – Justin Marks

Who the fuck is Taboo?

Who the fuck is Taboo?

A native of Los Angeles, Taboo is most well-known for his musical abilities, most notably as a member of mega-popular hip hop group the Black Eyed Peas. He’s just gotten his acting career rolling, with roles opposite Cuba Gooding Jr. in Dirty and more recently with Michael Madsen in Cosmic Radio.

[Kiro]

MEGA-POPULAR!

One of the dudes in the Black Eyed Peas who don't really do anything.

Edit: I should reply faster, instead of killing Tiny Lycopodiums.

Think of the X-Men franchise. Think of the way it started with a simple story of Wolverine trying to find a place in the world. And then it spawned an entire universe of amazing characters.

This statement is everything that is wrong with the X-Men, the X-Men franchise, nearly every X-Men writer, and most especially X-Men fandom. (The X-Men were around for a good decade before Wolverine joined.)

Seriously, fuck Wolverine. I can name dozens of characters who are far more interesting and worthy of fan interest than the worn-out, overused cliché that is Wolverine. (I know, I know I am taking three lines and going nuts with it, but in my defense I really, really hate Wolverine.)

You know I always thought that SF:TM was the worst, but then one night I was watching TBS at about 3 in the morning and I catch the end of the worst Game movie ever...

I don't think I like you anymore, Septimus.

...I'm just kidding, I still love you.

[Scythiroth]

They have the girl from Journeyman in it. :nikkei:

But yeah, video game movie, I have low hopes for it till people go see it and post about it here. >.>

[Woozie]

Wolverine didn't even appear in X-Men untill like issue 96? I don't see how it "starts" with him.

I can only hope to god that you googled this and didn't know this information off hand.

[Woozie]

I knew it offhand >.> Does that mean I need to get a life?

Edit: His first appearance was actually #94, so I was wrong anyways

[Metah]

A +/- 2 difference in issue is still acceptable.
