Machinima Debuts 'Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist'; Watch All Episodes Here!

As someone who has plunked down many a quarter on Street Fighter as a kid and adult, and still plays the game at home, I've been looking forward to Machinima's Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist web series. Created by Joey Ansah, who also plays the awesomely powerful Akuma, the 13-episode show follows the adventures of Ken, Ryu, and many of the game's most popular characters. Machinima has been doing an amazing job building up to the big debut, and now it's finally here.

Machinima has made available all of the first season episodes of Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist, and it looks like their most impressive work yet. Also starring are Christian Howard, Togo Igawa, Akira Koieyama, Mike Moh, Gaku Space, Shogen Hyunri, Hal Yamanouchi and Mark Killeen. Check it out below, and be sure to show your support to Machinima so we can get a season two. Personally I'm hoping for a live-action Rival Schools series. I'd even write it myself!

Teaser for Capcom's 'Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist' Live-Action Series

The folks over at Machinima have given us a live-action series based on Mortal Kombat, which is fine except everybody knows the real deal fighting video game was Street Fighter. Not even close, really. And so it only made sense that Capcom would get into the game with their own series following the battles of Ken, Ryu, Akuma, and more all around the world.

The first teaser for Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist has kicked its way online, just as Capcom has struck a deal to debut the entire series on Machinima at a later date. Joey Ansah, who wrote and directed the fan film Street Fighter: Legacy, is helming the show and starring as Akuma. Christian Howard is reprising his role as the brash Ken Masters, with Mike Moh as his friend and rival, Ryu. We can expect to see many more of the game's most popular characters and how their lives intertwine in the quest to become Ansatsuken Master.

It looks pretty cool, but until I see a fireball or hurricane kick it won't feel totally like Street Fighter to me. Perhaps if this works we'll be able to convince Capcom to do a Rival Schools series. I'd give anything for that.
