155: Street Fighter (2026) Review

What's up Gamers?! The new Street Fighter movie comes with a stacked cast, slick fight choreography, and enough fan-service to make longtime players argue immediately. But does it actually deliver the game-to-screen adaptation fans have been waiting for, or is it all style, callbacks, and busted timing? John, Zach, and Scotty break down what works, what does not, and why this one lands so differently depending on how deep you are into the franchise. They get into the casting choices, the soundtrack, the animated opening, the fight scenes, and the weirdly out-of-place humor that keeps pulling the movie in different directions. You’ll hear takes on Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Guile, Blanka, Bison, Akuma, and the rest of the roster, plus why some characters feel perfectly translated while others feel completely off-model. We also dig into the movie’s nostalgia plays, its bizarre tonal swings, and the moments that had everyone either cracking up or fully losing patience. If you grew up with Street Fighter , love fighting games, or just want a brutally honest movie review from people who know the source material, this one is built for you. It is part fan debate, part roast, part earnest appreciation for the few things the movie gets right. Please consider leaving us a 5 Star Rating and/or Review, so we can continue to grow!
