A new Street Fighter trailer has arrived, and it gives us an exciting look at all the special fighting moves from the video games that feature in the upcoming movie.
In the brief clip, which you can view above, we see a plethora of moves including Shoryuken, Dhalsim’s aerial attack Yoga Mummy, Chun-Li’s Hundred Lightning Kicks, Balrog’s Buffalo Headbutt, Dragonlash Kick (from Street Fighter 7), and Hundred Hand Slaps. A previous trailer also recreated the loading screen from 1991’s Street Fighter 2 and featured directing duo Danny and Michael Philippou as two of the fighters.
The live-action movie, directed by Kitato Sakurai, sees Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken (Noah Centineo) enter the World Warrior Tournament at the insistence of Chun-Li (Callina Liang), who is fixated on taking down the evil M. Bison (David Dastmalchian).
A special event is also being held at participating IMAX theaters on October 15, which allows lucky fans to view the movie one day before release at 7 pm local time. Participants also receive a special print of the film’s poster and get to see seven minutes of bonus footage.
The cast includes Cody Rhodes as Guile, Roman Reigns as Akuma, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as Balrog, Jason Momoa as Blanka, Orville Peck as Vega, Andrew Schulz as Dan, and Mel Jarnson as Cammy. There is also now a popcorn bucket shaped like Guile’s hair, which is brilliant or terrifying depending on how you look at it.
