Street Fighter director says Capcom "loves" the movie and game lead describes it as "his version come to life"

Street Fighter movie director Kitao Sakurai has revealed Capcom's reaction to the movie. "They love the movie," Sakurai says in an interview with GamesRadar+. "[Street Fighter 5 and Street Fighter 6 director] Takayuki Nakayama is just such a great cheerleader and a lover of the movie. Early Street Fighter movie reactions are decidedly mixed, with some describing it as a "fearless good time" while others criticizing the dialogue and "underbaked premise." Street Fighter sees globally renowned martial artists Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken (Noah Centineo) reunite at the World Warrior Tournament designed to crown the world's greatest fighter – though nefarious powers lurking in the shadows may be pulling the strings to their own ends.
