Legend of Chun Li Missing Ryu And Ken But Will Have Buns

10:00PM Brian Ashcraft | If you’ve been passively following upcoming Hollywood flick Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, you’ve probably already realised that Ryu and Ken are not characters in the film. Why is that? Hrm. According to the movie’s producer Patrick Aiello, the filmmakers and Capcom decided to have this film focus on the origin of Chun-Li.

So, in short, Ken and Ryu will not be appearing in this film. But, that doesn’t mean we wont see our red and white-clad heroes in potential sequels… If this Chun-Li flick does decent business, just watch as Capcom goes sequel silly.

Ken Masters may be a bit pedestrian, a tad obvious, but for those who think of Ken as a mid-tier choice in competitive Street Fighter play, they should give the list of changes a read. If we had our druthers, visual aides of the changes would be provided, but visualising them through text will simply have to suffice. More »
