      The mask sucked but the claw was very adequate. The choreography was a bit lacking as it could have been a bit more dramatic and powerful, especially when he finishes off the priest. This is still 1,000 times better than what Hollywood did though.

      Have you seen Assassin's Fist? If not, you should definitely check it out. It focuses on Ryu, Ken, Gouken and Akuma's origins. A feature length film made by fans for fans, given blessing by capcom and they're working on a sequel about the World Warrior tournament.

      A friend of mine suggested to me recently. I have noticed this Matador short on the side while watching Assasin's fist. Btw, i did not know it was fan made and that it had a follow up. Thx for that.
      The acting is a bit off but the pace and storyline of it is awesome.
      I will look forward to the World Warrior.

      Jason Vu Yup! but I wonder why they didn't go with the actual original Japanese name "Balrog"
      Original names were
      Bison > VegaBalrog > Bison
      Vega > Balrog
      (The original Japanese version of Street Fighter II introduced an African-American boxer boss character, a parody of real-life boxer Mike Tyson. In order to avoid any likeness infringement lawsuit from Tyson, Capcom rotated the names of three of the boss characters for international versions of the game. The final boss, named Vega in the Japanese version, was given the M. Bison name, the talon-wielding Spanish warrior, named Balrog in the Japanese version, was renamed Vega, and the boxer became Balrog.)

      Another reason is because of the snake tattoo across Claw's chest since apparently the actual Balrog looks a little bit like a snake. Another reason behind why Claw and Boxer hate each other is a Matador/Bull relationship, with the boxer as the Bull

    the ending was incredible, it subtly showed that Vega only uses his trauma as an excuse for his crimes and evil.
    The priest talks about what Vega's mother would think of all this and Vega gets angry and kills him, as he couldn't accept the truth, the true reason for his actions, with Bison appearing at the end and him throwing the rose, it would be him accepting his true reason for being what he is.

    A nice detail is that the adult Vega speaks in Catalan, and the mother sometimes speaks it briefly too, This is probably her primary lenguage and Vega kept it as his as well, I don't know if it was the film makers idea or maybe the cast, but in my opinion this simple thing added a lot to the story and shows a real commitment from the people behind the film. I really hope there's more to come, and that it hopefully won't take another two+ years until they can do it.

    Very easily without a doubt the BEST short film I have seen to this day and of all time.
    I have literally watched this at least like ten times or so all up and no matter how many times I see this, This is still just as poetic and deep as it was the very first time I saw this because watching this has literally made me realize just how much more there is to the character because you think that Vega is just so narcissistic and self-loving just because he's full of himself when in reality, He still just that lost little boy from all those years ago and in many ways can be seen as a form of PTSD on why he see's beauty as 'Heroism and Strength' and 'Ugliness' as not only repulsive but as a 'threat'.
    When they created this, They created more than a story, They created a life that we all lived and witnessed with our own two eyes. So in closing, I got to say that this short film is completely and totally..
    A thing of beauty.

Ojalá que algún día dejes de ser envidioso y no te fijes en el color de la piel de la gente esto te lo digo porque creés que el padrastro de Vega es latinoamericano evidentemente solo por su color de piel ya que por su acento yo digo que es español.

      Señor mío, hoy en día la palabra 'latino' se usa generalmente en el castellano para referirse a algo de origen latino-americano. Y no solo en castellano, sino en muchos otros idiomas, principalmente el inglés, idioma que se habrá percatado que yo estaba utilizando en el post original. No pretendia hacer ninguna connotación racial, simplemente señalar que no tiene sentido alguno que tanto el pequeño Vega como su padre hablen con acento latino-americano cuando se supone que son españoles, de Cataluña además. Sin embargo, su obstinación en resaltar innecesariamente temas de indole racial y desigualdad cuando nadie está hablando de ellos, así como sus descalificaciones e insultos, dicen muy poco sobre su nivel de cultura y educación general.

      +Kuroi Totalmente de acuerdo y correctísimo. Pero realmente hoy en el día a día, al menos en Madrid, España, y en realidad con básicamente todo el mundo con el que he trabajado tanto europeos como angloparlantes de nacimiento, rara vez usamos la palabra 'latino' para referirnos a alguien cuya lengua materna viene del latín. Hoy día se usa mas como abreviatura de la palabra 'latinoamericano', y guste o no guste es así :(

    When I was young, my SF favorites were Guile, Nash, Ryu, Ken, both storyline and skills-wise. But growing older and binge watching these SF canon based short films and flicks, I already went beyond Sonic Booms, Fireballs, military missions, revenge and proving greatness. Through the years I have grown to appreciate Vega and Feilong for their swift, natural fighting skills and deep storylines: Vega's tragic backstory as depicted here, and Feilong's character, background, skills and philosophy which were patterned after the late Bruce Lee.

    “He’s wrong you know, you are an instrument of divine justice” “You are beautiful” those lines were delivered so masterfully and it subtly captures how Bisons psycho power peered into Vegas narcissistic spirit, showing how to manipulate him into being one of the kings of shadaloo.

    So Vega was a young boy, who witnessed the murder of his mother by his step-father, who both fell out the window. He takes his set of claws and kills him, avenging her death. But then eventually along the line, he gets too deep in with the killings and all, and felt that for exposing him and his mother to the step-father, he feels that the priest has to pay the price for it, thus killing him. And that's all what led him to that life of crime.
    But for him to go through such a agonizing moment for his mother to be savagely beaten, strangled, and then killed by his step-father, I feel really bad for him.

  • @HalloWitch93
    @HalloWitch93 Рік тому +4

    This, Assassin's Fist, and Balrog: Behind the Glory go to show that live-action adaptations of Street Fighter CAN work, and work well. I think the whole problem with the last two Hollywood adaptations is that the directors really just wanted to make completely different movies, and just slapped loose adaptations of the video game characters into their scripts with little regard for the source material. But live-action Street Fighter CAN be amazing! And it's such a blessing to have not one, not two, but three examples to show us how it can and should be done.

    • @KenMasters.
      @KenMasters. Рік тому +1

      Actually, making a live-action movie based on Street Fighter has not been easy, that's why Assassin's Fist Season 2 didn't get off the ground.
      Putting a complete star-cast as the World Warriors in the movie takes as big of a budget as a Marvel, DC, or Star Wars movie.
      Because half of the cast involves realistic CGI instead of actors; namely Blanka, Zangief, Dhalsim, T. Hawk, Sagat, Akuma, and Chun-Li's legs. Due to them being freakish in appearance and anatomy, with physically impossible moves.

    I loved both this and the one about Balrog (Mike Bison). You guys should do a video like this about Sagat, he is an amazing character with a VERY dark and colourful background. Having fought (and lost to) Ryu & Ken's master - Gouken, even killed Dan's father (Go Hibiki - Gouken's friend too) to whom he lost his right eye to, also that scar on his chest from Ryu's rising dragon punch.

    Yes. I've wanted to see this movie made since seeing that Balrog film. This was great. It really puts Vega's tragic past in a more public light. Very nice job.
    Although it's clear they used some creative liberty about his biological father and that priest stuff, it had a nice presentation to it.
    The origin of the flourish on Vega's mask stemming from his mother's scar isn't canon, but it's still a nice detail they created.
    The death of his mother, however, seemed more accidental in this case. Not like the story goes. I'll have to read up on Vega's bio in some Street Fighter encyclopedia, as his background in the Street Fighter Wiki isn't as well sourced as I'd like to keep it.
