Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist teaser introduces Ken

Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist, a live-action series based on Capcom’s fighting game, has released a new teaser trailer which introduces Ken.

Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist tells the coming of age story of Street Fighter’s most iconic characters, Ryu and Ken. Over the course of the series we will see them train in the martial art of “ansatsuken,” and how their past, present, and future are intertwined.

The series is directed by Joey Ansah who appears as Akuma as well. You might also remember him as one of the agents in The Bourne Ultimatum.

Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist was approved by Capcom. It will debut on Machinima’s YouTube channel in May 2014, and Content Media will later distribute it on TV, On-demand, and DVD and Blu-ray.

Machinima also distributed the live-action series based on the Mortal Kombat fighting games, Mortal Kombat: Legacy.

You can head over to the series’ official website to watch the previously released trailer that introduces Ryu, and Street Fighter: Legacy, the short film which preceded Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist.
