Searched and did not find. From the people that brought you Sreet Fighter: Legacy. Coming in 2013.

During the Street Fighter 25th Anniversary panel at San Diego Comic-Con, they did a screening of the live action fan film Street Fighter: Legacy. Immediately afterwards, they played a clip where Joey Ansah and Christian Howard unveil the news that they are now working on a feature length series and have signed a contract with Capcom to move forward.

Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist, an episodic follow-up to the 2010 Street Fighter fan film, Street Fighter: Legacy, is in development for a 2013 release, creator Joey Ansah and actor Christian Howard announced today at San Diego Comic-Con.

The full-length series will take place in Japan, and will delve into the origins of Ryu, Ken, and their master, Gouken. The "Assassin's Fist" subtitle comes from "Ansatsuken," the Japanese name for the fighting style that Gouken taught to Ryu and Ken.

EDIT: Here is the original fan short for those who haven't seen it.

This is actually cool.

Oni Link 666 · (07-13-2012, 01:03 AM)

SF Legacy looks pretty good for a fan movie. I'll be interested to see how this turns out.

Just don't make a game with digitized graphics about it.

Right now, I can only hope to not suck

A Shaolin Monks style of game would be insteresting

Ninja Scooter · (07-13-2012, 01:08 AM)

Don't do this. Please don't do this.

TheOGB · (07-13-2012, 01:09 AM)

Street Fighter: Legacy was pretty legit. I'm glad the crew was able to work this out. Congrats to em.

And personally, I've always been interested in the "shoto story", so to speak. I'm excited.

BHK3 · (07-13-2012, 01:12 AM)

Only good live action anything about street fighter was that one 10 minute documentary about Balrog.

jett · (07-13-2012, 01:12 AM)

I'd rather see a show made by the Later Years people rather than this serious business thing.

Cyber Caesar · (07-13-2012, 01:12 AM)

What impressed me the most about the short was the attention to detail and how it stuck as close as possible to the source material. "Street Fighter Legacy" remains the best live action Street Fighter production to date. I'm looking forward to this.

iNvid02 · (07-13-2012, 01:12 AM)

legacy was ok, but ryu looked like katie holmes

Mentaiko_Allergy · (07-13-2012, 01:13 AM)

I recently re-watched SF legacy recently and was wondering what these guys were up to. Good stuff. That ken was spot on. Hopefully it will be as good as the animated movie and not like legend of chun-li.

firehawk12 · (07-13-2012, 01:14 AM)

Well, can't be any worse than the Chun Li movie with the lesbian dance-off.

Slamtastic · (07-13-2012, 01:14 AM)

I would love a movie or series by the team behind the SFxT CG trailers...but not this.

chertipros · (07-13-2012, 01:17 AM)

Wow lots of games getting move/tv show adaptions. This actually sounds like it has the potential to be good also unlike the other ones

udivision · (07-13-2012, 01:18 AM)

The SF:Legacy was decent, but I think the Naruto one was better

TWILT · (07-13-2012, 01:20 AM)

I thought the Legacy fan film was pretty cool, so count me interested in this one. Hope it ends well.

THE NO LIFE KING · (07-13-2012, 01:24 AM)

No love for the Thousand Pounds crew? I prefer their fight choreography more than the Legacy video but other than that, The Legacy video was pretty entertating.
Street Fighter: Beginnings End - Thousand Pounds

enzo_gt · (07-13-2012, 06:17 AM)

So glad they finally struck the contract with Capcom.

This is going to be awesome.

I think they need someone with better semblance to Ryu, though he's okay.

jooey · (07-13-2012, 06:20 AM)

Will it be on after WCW like the MK show?

Gunloc · 06:59 AM

Might be cool. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe.

agreed.
The first SF movie for as bad as it was has charm to it.
It's a fun kind of bad movie.

Chun Li is just bad all around.

...cannot... unsee. Jon Foo is a pretty cool guy though, I hope they bring him back.

Heart Attack · (07-13-2012, 06:28 AM)

This was the main "surprise" at the pannel, and it was lame if you ask me.

shaowebb · (07-13-2012, 06:42 AM)

Huh...I didn't go into this expecting it to be good. I am pleasantly surprised.

I'm okay with this.

Here's hoping they can act as well as they choreograph the scenes when it comes to spoken dialogue for the series. Other than a lingering fear of shaky dialogue and awkward plots this looks fun and entertaining enough to be cool with IMO. I'm not expecting anything mind blowing in story so more of this should suffice.

kunonabi · (07-13-2012, 06:47 AM)

Not really interested if it's just going to be a shoto fest.

bobbytkc · (07-13-2012, 06:56 AM)

SF legacy is pretty much the most well produced SF fan short ever made, at least visually. I am eagerly anticipating this.

Have you watched this yet?

Wish thse guys could help working on this, and if possible get to include their planned Claw feature as part of that show.

Chemo · (07-13-2012, 07:16 AM)

Between Street Fighter x Tekken and this, Street Fighter 25th Anniversary year has been/will be extremely disappointing.

Wish they had just made one final SFIV expansion and called it a year.

I liked the one with Dan Southworth Reuben Langdon and Mark Musashi wayyyyyyyyy better

I mean come on that's basically Vergil and Dante VS that crazy butler from Garo

I've seen that as well. But the characters in the SFxTekken short were more like cosplayers. I think the SF legacy actors were a lot more convincing as Ken and Ryu.

Which is even more weird when you realize Ken looks like a blond Tom Cruise.

FUUUUUUUUUUCK

Astrosanity · (07-13-2012, 08:09 AM)

Awesome to see them focusing on the backstory for some of the more obscure characters of the enormous Street Fighter cast for once.

You know that in the end, nobody care about tiers and they only plays with shotos =P

shinra-bansho · (07-13-2012, 12:33 PM)

If it stars Jean Claude van Damme and Kristin Kreuk, then I'm sold.

HunkyDory · (07-13-2012, 12:36 PM)

One of the guys behind this was on the IGN UK podcast a while back. Seemed like a really cool guy - I had no idea that there was so much to Street Fighter! Great to see that something came of it.

Rinoa · 03:57 PM

Excited for this!
There are so many details and touches in that tiny short video that only hardcore fans would notice.

Joey Ansah is a true SF fan, I interviewed him a while back because I was hoping this would get the green light.

Hey now, SF The Movie The Game was good!

never forget

Zaventem · (07-13-2012, 03:48 PM)

Trying to get on that Mortal Kombat Legacy train.

Rinoa · (07-13-2012, 03:49 PM)

Whatever happened to MK Legacy? I saw it became a show with guns so I stopped watching.

Street Fighter: Beginnings End - Thousand Pounds

Agreed, Beginnings End is more entertaining. The music, choreography, effects, all hype. Needed some better voice work and a higher wig budget.

Legacy got the look and costumes pretty good though.

Oh yeah

Cyber Caesar · 08:21 AM

I have high hopes for this show. Out of curiosity what live martial arts TV shows if any is GAF fans of?

Rygar 8 Bit · (08-19-2012, 08:19 AM)

could be good

Cyber Caesar · 04:58 PM

The only three good live action martial arts tv shows I remember are Walker Texas Ranger, Kung Fu the Legend Continues and Angel.
