Super Street Fighter IV Anime

When Super Street Fighter IV hit consoles it increased the game's roster by 10 characters, including the brand new villainess Juri Han.  Juri is the first Korean fighter in Capcom's history and despite her youth is already a master practitioner of Taekwondo.  This femme fatale was an instant hit with the SF faithful and her popularity only grew with an anime spotlighting her character.  In the anime Juri, an agent of S.I.N., targets Shadoloo operatives with no care for the innocent civilians who get killed in her wake.  The team of Chun-Li, Cammy, and Guile arrives on the scene to stop her but... let's just say it doesn't end well.  The animation is beautiful and the action fluid as Juri takes on Chun-Li, Cammy, and Guile in individual fights.  There's also a battle with Bison's lady army of dolls.  Sadly, this anime is available for download only on Xbox Live at the moment... unless you can find a copy floating somewhere online!

Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind

It's been a while since I've seen a Street Fighter anime, the last one being Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie.  It was a masterpiece with stellar animation, realistic fight choreography, and a Chun Li shower scene!  The SF formula is in full effect here in Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind(Insert Bad Guy) is out to capture data on the world's top fighters while (Insert Heroes) investigate the unusual events surrounding the fighters' (Deaths/Disappearances), leading to a climactic battle between good and evil.  The animation is impressive with fluid fight scenes and character emotions.  Several SF favorites make appearances in this 45-minute movie and there's no shortage of ladies with veterans Chun Li, Cammy, Sakura, Ken's wife Eliza and newcomer Crimson Viper.  While Chun Li and Sakura are relegated to beating up goons, the real catfight here belongs to Cammy and Crimson Viper.  I hate to give away more than the images already have, but I'll say that C. Viper gets a strong push!  Only bad thing is this anime comes as a bonus disc in the Collector's Edition of Street Fighter IV for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
