While the games themselves weren't exactly brimming with story the Street Fighter franchise does have an intricate and developed lore behind it. The latest trailer for Street Fighter IV outlines the where some of our favorite heroes disappeared to after the events in Street Fighter II. Watching the video just gets us more and more excited to play Street Fighter IV and considering it will include cut-scenes of the same caliber we're down-right-fierce with anticipation. That's right, we went there.

Love that. Street Fighter and anime are two flavors that go great together.

Well, that wasn't the WORST anime I've ever seen but it was just as ridiculous.

Haha! Down Right Fierce... that's a good one. Someone deserves a pat on the back for that one.

Street Fighter has a story?

That was underwhelming. Chun Li shouldn't be the main character, it's always been about Ryu and Ken.

And I'm sorry, Guile needs to come to terms with his latent but super obvious man-love for Charlie. Look what he's done to his wife, damn.

I suspect the upcoming film may have something to do with that.....

Makes me more eager for the game, im a huge anime fan and that was pretty damn good, better than some of the other stuff i have seen.

If these are the great cut-scenes, then you guys must think a bowl of Lucky Charms makes for a gourmet meal. Looks like schlocky Saturday-morning cartoons to me, with about as much plot.
