That being said, these 3 mostly shoddy, anti-climactic fights, with bright colors but shit choreography are still an improvement over the ones in "Ties that Bind" and arguably "Street Fighter Alpha Generations".Īlso, this OVA is a mere 32 minutes, well over 13 minutes shorter than either of its two predecessors. Some time later, we see that her poor opponent is unconscious or dead. Hell, I think Guile is the only hero who even lands a SINGLE hit against her, although she barely even flinches, and destroys him in the very next moment.Īlso, instead of SHOWING us all the action, some of it occurs off-screen, and in other instances, Juri's eye glows menacingly in preparation for an incredible, vicious attack.but then the camera simply cuts away. There are 3 real matches in this OVA, and all are one-sided squashes, with Juri nary getting so much as a scratch against Chun-Li, Guile, or Cammy. "Alright, alright", you're probably wondering, "enough with all that extraneous bullshit. Apparently, sending agents to certain death is standard protocol in the idiot universe of this OVA. Oh wait, this is AFTER Cammy was defeated by Juri from a single punch earlier. After Chun-Li is crushed by Juri, and Guile is also beaten like a drum, he tells Cammy to go after her. Every character appears to be clinically retarded. I thank God the audio was in Japanese, as simply reading it made my eyes bulge, let alone listening to it. Cammy, Guile, and Chun-Li are all the same bland, faceless hero types. Juri is the extremely annoying cocky villain. No real explanation is even attempted for this. Apparently, whoever set it up has trillions of microcameras all over the world. There is also apparently a website that tracks mysterious secret organizations in places as remote and obscure as snow-covered mountains in the Himalayas. Instead, we get some cliche evil villain laughs, and Juri being contractually obligated to say the word "play" twice per sentence. Things like "story", "characters", and "dialogue" barely even apply here. The animation overall? Numerous missing frames, often during the fights themselves, and lots of shoddy, ugly cells outside of the fights. I actually took a screenshot at one point, the appearance was so ridiculous.
Countless scenes and bits of dialogue where all three protagonists repeat "it has something to do with her eyes!", irrelevant conversations between Juri and Seth about the "Feng Shui engine", and flashbacks within the OVA to a scene we watched only seven minutes ago are all used to pad length.Ĭharacter designs? Guile looks like a fat, amorphous blob. content, but needed to stretch it out as long as possible. Throughout the 32 minute runtime, it feels like the creators had less than 10 minutes of real It ostensibly follows Guile, Cammy, and Chun-Li as they track down a new character introduced in SSF4, a Korean witch named Juri. Well, I am relieved to say that Super Street Fighter 4 continues this proud OVA tradition! Instead, they just want to cash in on the name in the quickest, cheapest way possible. (like 1994's classic "Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie") Beginning with 2005's "Street Fighter Alpha Generations" and continuing with 2009's "Ties that Bind", it appears that studios have lost interest in making competent, exciting Street Fighter anime.
