I played a street fighter game like - I dunno, 30 years ago or some shit? And only a few times. Never owned it. So that's what I walked into this knowing.
It's not bad, I guess. I just don't know why it needed to be made. Doesn't really DO anything. There's not really a plot. Hell, honestly, there's not even that much fighting. Like, I'm not mad I saw it, but I could have done literally anything else and felt more productive.

We used to call these 'popcorn movies' and you would go see them on the weekend because they were cheap and killed some time. Now, theaters charge so fucking much for movies and concessions that you feel like the movie has to be an 8/10+ or you feel like you've been massively ripped off.

This describes pretty much all entertainment. It is one of the problems with our society. We put way to much value on something that only barely benefits a person. We pay millions for people who act, sing(Play an instrument), or play a sport, and yet police officers, fire fighters, public utility workers(Cause I hear water is important), and teachers have to barely scrape a living.

My wife always wants to go to the movies and every time we leave saying that sucked. I refuse to pay $70+ for a 2 hour shitty movie when I can watch it on torrents 2 weeks later for free.

Derail time: Couple hundred/thousand maybe? big actors/athletes make tons of money because 100s of millions of people give them money for entertainment. Hundreds of thousands/millions) of public utility/fire fighters/police don't also all 100s of millions funneling money to them? What a shock. A quick google says there are 737k law enforcement officers in the us in 2024. Let's just add a new $737 billion tax so we can pay them all a million a year. Then we can do the same for 1.2m firefighters in 2025 and everyone else. Hope you enjoy now having to work 75 hour weeks to pay their salaries and eat out of a dumpster. Your argument is just as retarded as all the "womens athletes should be paid what men are even though we lose money every year instead of turn a profit".
Also, they aren't really "scraping by" either. Cops around me are making almost 6 figures (90k or so) by the time they're 3-5 years on the force with all the government benefits on top.

CViper? I'd imagine that's much deeper in the timeline as her involvement doesn't happen til SIN and Seth as her core plot. Not that they couldn't bring her in, just seems early. I'm more interested if they mention Nash. Also was joking recently with some friends about since Cena didn't get Bison, he could still come in as a good Seth.
I want a nod to Final Fight somewhere. Cody and Guy were me and my childhood friends' trampoline characters, even dressed up as em for halloween one year. I'd settle for Mad Gear Gang or Mayor Haggar.

Charlie Nash gets a quick mention during one of Guile's scenes when he's chatting at the bar / night club.

Yeah I'm not sure if there were deleted scenes with more Guile, or if they decided to go with a smash cut joke, since he's super cocky about the World Warrior Tournament and the next time you see him he's lost the first fight and he's already out. I'd have liked to see more Guile as well, and Zangief too.

Yep it's all marketing. Low budget actors make peanuts. Semi pro athletes make peanuts. Because No one watches them!
If millions of people watch you even if you only get 1 dollar from each person you get millions of dollars!
