#STREET FIGHTER 4 REVIEWS CODE#
#STREET FIGHTER 4 REVIEWS SERIES#
For a series known for its fighting, creative moves, and its vivid characters, there are only two action scenes. STUDIO4☌ cut a lot of corners when producing this turkey as shown in the heavy emphasis on showing nothing at all and relying on voiceover-narrated inner thoughts. Overall, this is definitely a forgettable and meaningless footnote in the Street Fighter canon.Īnimation-wise, Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind is very cheap looking. A couple of cameos by some of the other characters show up, usually doing nothing and contributing little to the overall story. The importance of the Satsui no Hadou or the relationships for these characters is never really shown, with the viewer just having to take the word of the character's inner-thoughts. Meanwhile, Seth wants to harness the power of Satsui no Hadou that resides in Ryu and sends Crimson Viper to gauge his strength. Cammy is looking for some kind of energy anomaly while Guile and Chun-Li are trying to find Ryu. There is a simplistic charm to it all, but Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind is something that plays out like a soap-opera with no energy. Street Fighter is a series that was never founded on its plot the story was always just an excuse to have some outrageous character stereotypes hit each other. The story is surprisingly hard to follow, as well. These are the real problems - when a story is told in this manner it's impossible to establish an emotional connection with the characters.

These are moments where the animators could have shown the audience something interesting happing in a visual way, but instead is all kinds of screenwriting no-nos. There are so many stretches of boring static images of characters thinking to themselves.

Every single important piece of information that the audience needs is never shown, instead it is told through hackneyed internal monologues by various characters. In screen writing there is the old adage 'show, don't tell', but the low-budget production value and cheap animation limits the scope of every aspect of Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind. There are a lot of characters featured in this story, yet none of them get the appropriate screen time to develop.
#STREET FIGHTER 4 REVIEWS MOVIE#
Lights, Camera, Action! takes a look at this straight-to-DVD movie that came as part of the Street Fighter IV Collector's Edition. Meant to be a sort of prologue to the story of that game, the plot of Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind is a complex mess of boring melodrama and tedious dialogue, lazy story-telling and sloppy animation.

Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind (UK Rating: N/A) Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind was originally an extra included in the Collector's Edition of Street Fighter IV for the PS3/Xbox 360 and was animated by STUDIO4☌.
