You especially want to get caught up now as Machima’s sorta follow-up series*, Street Fighter: Resurrection, is almost upon us.

And you know what’s better? You can go watch it all right now for free. And it was effing cool! Featuring actors who were not only incredible martial artists but also bore an uncanny resemblance to their video game counterparts, Assassin’s Fist was about as true to source as you could get while also being a pretty good kung fu movie. Released by Machinima first as a web series before being edited together as a feature film, Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist told the origin story of stalwart franchise leads Ryu and Ken as they discover the secret history of their master Gouken and the deadly Ansatsuken fighting style. There are many who are hoping that the upcoming Warcraft and/or Assassin’s Creed will finally give us our first really good video game movie, but these people are wrong: We’ve already had it in Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist. As both gamers and movie lovers, we’re always lamenting the sorry state of the video game feature film adaptation.
