But before you do that, I want to tell you guys a bit more about Street Fighter. So, basically, Street Fighter was originally introduced as a video game back in 1987. Yes! The concept of this game is very old, but that’s vintage, right? There’s a proper plot in Street Fighter Animation, which I’ll tell you about.
The plot revolves around M. Bison, who’s the leader of a crime organization named “Shadowlaw.” Now, that sounds like a badass name, right? Anyways, this organization is recruiting the best fighters from all around the world to kick their opponents, who possess different abilities. We’ll discuss the plot in detail in a bit. Let’s go!

PLOT
As I’ve mentioned before, M.Bison is the leader of a very diverse criminal organization that has the goal of collecting all the best fighters in the world. This criminal organization is called Shadowlaw, and it is associated with biochemicals as well. It also deals with the arms used throughout the Street Fighter world.
Bison has an eye for observing the skills of an individual. Therefore, he recruits people very carefully, focusing solely on their skills. For instance, he recruited a Japanese Fighting Master named Ryu, who has gravity-canceling abilities. Sounds cool, right? We’re just getting started. A lot more is yet to come!
An ex-class fellow of Bison named Kenji Haga is converted into another fighting style by Bison. And we all know how things work in a criminal organization. There’s always an opposition party that aims to destroy your criminal organization. Just like that, Chun Li is an American soldier who has one goal, which is to destroy Shadowlaw. Now we’re talking!
MOVIES
Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie 1994
This movie begins with a fight between a martial artist from Japan and a Muay Thai champion named Sagat. There’s an intense fight between both of them, and Sagat badly injures the Japanese martial artist until he starts to bleed. Yes, that’s right, things get pretty heated up in street fighting.
Just as Sagat is about to attack Ryu with his spiritual energy, Ryu uses the Hadouken technique that results in his victory. For Sagat, things haven’t ended, he will come back for revenge!
After some years, Cammy White, who’s an illusioned agent, gets assassinated, and he suggests that they should join hands with the United States Military to vanish the Shadaloo. At first Captain William hesitated but after hearing how Bison killed his father, he decided to get back at him and get his revenge!
Street Fighter II V 1995
Street Fighter II V (1995) focuses on the adventures of Ryu and Ken, who are young martial artists striving to become the very best martial artists. They’re out on a journey to train themselves and become even better.
They faced a bad defeat by Guile, who’s one of the majors of the United States Military. AHH, so he’s the antagonist, right? On their way to train, they befriend other street fighters, including Chun Li and Fei Long, with unique abilities, including Muay Thai and whatnot!
They also get to know other hidden mysteries of this criminal organization, Shadowlaw. In fact, they defeated one of the associated organizations, called Ashura. Our boys are surely very badass, and their intense training resulted in the defeat of this organization. Let’s see what more happens while we move on from one movie to another!
Street Fighter Alpha: The Animation OVA 1999
Due to certain events, the bad news is on its way. Should I tell you guys or not? Would it be a spoiler? AHH, well, I’ll just tell you guys that someone died. Anyways, Ryu faces difficulty in using the Dark Hadou, which is surely one of his abilities. While he’s staying in the city, he defeats different agents belonging to Shadoloo, and that’s when he gains the attention of Chun Li.
One of the passionate martial artists named Sakura becomes a fan of Ryu and does her best to become his student. Oh boy, this guy surely made his name in the world of street fighters, right?
Street Fighter Alpha: Generations OVA 2005
Street Fighter Alpha: Generations is one of the OVAs for Street Fighter Alpha and it begins with Gouki, who’s fighting against his own master to test his own abilities. In the end, Gouki, with his dark ability “Raging Demon Technique,” ends up defeating his master. How cool is that?
Actually, there’s a dark secret that I can’t tell you guys. If you’re curious to find out, you should better watch Street Fighter Alpha: Generations OVA 2009!
Anyways, moving on, Gouki isn’t affected by the harm he did to his master, and instead, he blames his master! That’s pretty sad now. Then the movie fast forwards and now the focus is on Ryu, who visits his master’s dojo. It is that moment when Gouki shows up and challenges Ryu. What’s going to happen next? OMG! A battle between two deadly brothers? Count me in!
Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind OVA 2009
This one is also an OVA that revolves around M.Bison, who’s trying to survive Akuma’s attack in one of the tournaments. This fight is also one of the most intense fights of all time. So, I definitely recommend you guys to watch Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind OVA 2009!
