The Legacy of Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie

Gisaburō Sugii's feature-length anime (officially called Street Fighter II Movie) literally kicked ass.

With that said...

Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams

Stage shared by Guy and Ryu displays Japanese film poster.


Ken and Ryu vs younger selves¹ 


¹Flashback sequence takes place in 1987, the same year Street Fighter was released.

Bison teleporting


Via a code, Dramatic Battle pits Ryu (1P) and Ken (2P) against bad ass.


Both players share a single health bar and Super Combo Gauge.

Mode was expanded to include more characters in later games and as Buddy Battle in Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers.

Sagat's ending features VTOL jet.


Also.

Bison's ending - SNK vs. Capcom: SVC: Chaos*
*developed by Playmore.

Chun-Li is visited in hospital.


Same principle, yes?

Gotta admit, awesome work.

Red cape even has the same gold trim.

Wow!

Hitting the random button.

Sagat ending vs cool shot


Err, okay.

Street Fighter Alpha 3

Beginning with one of the SCARIEST grins EVER.


In stark contrast, here's a handsome little bitch.

Vega


Sennou Ken

Bison's Psycho Power temporarily brainwashes blondie.
Alter ego is a sub-boss in Ryu's playthrough.

Ken? What's wrong? Your eyes...
What's happened to you?!
Psychotic bastard inspired:

Violent Ken debuted in SVC: Chaos.
And.

Ultra SF II
Miscellany

Charlie's stage vs Airfield


Evil Ryu's ending vs Shoryuken


Best of all.

Pre-fight animation vs Ryu and Ken goofing about


Now that's what I call attention to fucking detail.

Finally, Ryu's duffel bag takes centre stage.


Or is it a punching bag?

Whatever.

Ryu and Sagat ending - SFA 3
Street Fighter IV (any iteration)
SVC: Chaos
Turbo HD Remix**
**developed by Backbone Entertainment.

Street Fighter III: New Generation


Sprite is identical in 2nd Impact - Giant Attack and 3rd Strike - Fight for the Future, but for some reason, final update completely changed ending and ditched object.
