Yeah = they both look like they are properly leaning into their characters being what they are - SF2 by virtue of its "most known" visual style (SF2 - cartoon/anime) is always considered "not as serious" as MK due to its visual style (realistic, real people as sprites etc. MK1/2) and the blood and gore.
So when you get into a movie, its a more difficult balance imo for SF to present a conflict and characters that are to be taken seriously than MK does as MK goes dark and serious easily.
The SF2 anime is great, good chung li action as well ;-) the trailer there hints that they may actually reproduce that scene, but I doubt they will go R rating just to do so in this day an age- but the "going to shower" scene then her fight with Vega looks like similar / same location - so it may just be a nod... not that the chung li actress has anything up top to show off...
However, it looks entertaining, and like the MK2 movie it looks like it is again, properly leaning into what it is... hope they both are good and fun and great movies that move hollywood back into making fun stuff.

This is going to be terrible and I will absolutely *not* regret the 20 bucks I spend to see it in the theater.

Part of what made the original Street Fighter so memorable was having such a distinguished actor as Raul Julia absolutely hamming it up as M. Bison.
Thank god I realized the pic of Ken with dreds was a parody before I went into a rant about how stupid that shit looked. I didn't even realized that was supposed to be a blackwashed Guile at first.

This is exactly why one embraces it. It looks ridiculous, which is it being the most absolute version of itself.
Watching the trailer with sound a couple lines get dropped to make you think it's Ken's redemption arc. Along the lines of Ken needs redemption, someone goes and finds Ryu and pulls him in to cause Ken to turn his shit around.

The way to go for something like this is for it to be ridiculous but never have the characters wink or nod at the camera. It makes sense for them and they're taking it all very seriously. You get too meta and self-referential it all falls apart. Those story-telling devices are played out anyway.
