Street Fighter Special Moves Media Analysis

Today after my Screenwriting Class I watched the following three pieces of media:

o Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie (1994).

o Street Fighter (1994) - The live action.

o Street Fighter: Ryu's Fury - A live action fan short.

Whilst the 1994 variants of Street Fighter focused more on fighting choreography rather than the special moves that the fighters perform I went and found if there were any recent adaptions of Street Fighter in a live action setting when I came across Ryu's Fury.

The YouTube short does a wonderful job making Ryu's signature technique a dramatic event, but it wasn't long enough for my personal tastes so I didn't really get to see the visual effect in more situations.

I decided that I needed to get more information, so I downloaded Street Fighter V (2016) and recorded Ryu's in game special moves to use a basis and analysed them, bellow you will find the YouTube video.

All of the footage was captured by myself, on my PlayStation 4 using my own personal copy of Street Fighter V.

Upon completing the video it gave me a clear outline of effects to create for my show reel, the video was a fun thing to do but I will only create these if I feel like there is something fun to showcase.

The visual effects I wish to create will be:

o 2 Special moves effects for Hadouken and Shoryuken.

o 2 Super moves for Shinku and Denjin Hadouken.

o 2 Ambiences effects for the environment rain and electricity.

o 2 Destruction, terrain destroyed and air blasts.

o 2 Power up effects, one little charge and one maximum charge.

o 1 V Trigger state effect.

I might not use all of these in the end but for now I will be conducting research into tutorials for After Effects and Blender to help me achieve the desired visual effects I want to create.
