Well guys, let's make room for our new guests... 'cause trying to interfere with them could be dangerous! ^__- Yeah, this time our Special Guest Star of music videos section is Street Fighter, the father (even if it's not the first in his genre) of all beat'em up videogames born since 1987. It was in this year that CAPCOM published the first Street Fighter, that seemed a masterpiece to all Beat'em up fans, without knowing that the next series would have been better! Besides the many sequels, crossovers and puzzle games, in 1994 Capcom allows the making of an animation film titled "Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie" and, in 1996, the TV series that was called "Street Fighter II - Victory" (SF2V) and composed by 29 episodes, published in 15 VHS. In 1995 Street Fighter became even a live action movie, but it was a flop for most people! So Capcom decided to reach the top again with the release of the new sequel named Street Fighter Alpha (in Japan Street Fighter Zero) and, from this, in 2000, was born the new animation film "Street Fighter Alpha - The Movie".

Street Fighter

Street Fighter anime and movies inspired a lot of music videos creators, some of them have even used clips captured directly from videogames!!! Now we briefly told you a synopsis of them before offering you four great music videos we chose for you!

"Street Fighter II - The animated movie"
This is a movie based on the same Street Fighter II videogame. The soldier Guile and the Chinese Interpol agent Chun-Li track down the international criminal Bison, head of the ShadowLaw organization. Using his psychic powers, Bison wants to possess the world's best fighters in order to conquer all the planet and build his empire. And now he takes an interest on Ken and Ryu, the two most powerful martial arts fighters in the world and will use a number of other unpleasant henchmen to reach his aim.

"Street Fighter II - Victory"
This is the TV series based on Street Fighter II videogame. The anime is focused on Ryu, a cocky teenager and his journey for power as a martial artist, his good friend Ken, whom he has trained with, since he was a child, and Chun-Li, a female cop investigating the existance of ShadowLaw, the most secret organisation lead by Master M. Bison, an evil overlord bent on world domination. Follow Ryu and Ken and Chun-Li on adventures that will very well change their lives. Look out for Akuma when you are watching the series, he appears somewhere in the background doing something, hard to pick up but good for a laugh!

"Street Fighter Alpha - The Movie"
This movie follows a completly different story then "Street Fighter - The Animated Movie" and features all if not most of the Street Fighter Alpha characters from the game and some new characters... Ryu has a little brother? Apparently so. Shun, Ryu's brother who has been searching for him ever since he became a martial artist. Though Ryu isn't too excited about it or certain he is really his brother; he is faced with much larger problems. Ryu begins to be taken over by the Dark Hadou, the same destructive power which Akuma took into his fists and used it to destroy his own master Kotetsu and Ryu and Ken's master Gouken. The price of it... his soul.
Meanwhile Shun has been kidnapped by Dr. Sadler, a scientist working for ShadowLaw who is gathering street fighters for a martial arts tournament, but is secretly using the data drained from the fighters for his selfish desire. With Shun as bait, Sadler has discovered something he wants more than anything. Can Ryu remain human and be able to save his brother Shun?

Well the name of the video speaks for itself, downside, a downside to the human race that is. We all know we hit a time where we feel like we could take revenge against the whole world, well this video expressed a little bit of that anger, and POWER from that anger to give a little back to this rotting planet, as Ryu feels his downside when a wrestler Zangief attacks his kid brother, along with another spy in the crowd. After Ryu defeats Zangief, the spy decides to take matters into his own hand and attempt to finish Ryu's kid brother off. With a dark past already haunting Ryu, he must utilize his dark power for his own good purpose. But is it really good? You be the judge.

I used "Numb" by Linkin Park which I feel is perfect for this music video, but I feel the song is too short. So I crammed in the best bits.
This music video is circled around Ryu and his struggle against the Dark Hadou. I also used some of the voices from the movie which perfectly suits beat of the music video... ie Ryu: "I wont do it! I am not like you!!!" when the song says: "All I want to do is be more like me and be less like you!" ect ect... I think that this music video is easily my best one and I'm very proud of this one. It took me the shortest time as well because I knew exactly what I wanted out of this one.

I had wanted to use this song for forever, and when I saw Street Fighter Alpha, I finally got that chance. ;]
This video basically centers around the main story of SFA.. Ryu not wanting to become like Akuma.
This is my first time using a DVD source + uncompressed (Huffyuv, actually), and I noticed a significant improvement in quality over using DVD player + DC10plus (which I used in my Lodoss - Zelda AMV).
Also, the opening is from the Arcade version of Street Fighter Alpha 2, which took alot of trial-and-error with Snag-It and FinalBurn (arcade emu). The fire sound in the background of it I got from some WAV site... I forget the url. =/
Oh, and thanks to Critical X (spankyproductions.cjb.net) for making his SFA vid which inspired me to get SFA and start this vid.

This is a video I did for fun, it has a lot of action and was just made for timing practice. I hope you enjoy this video, as it is one of my favorites. I used a DVD rip of Street Fighter Alpha to do this and the quality is pretty good most of the time.
