Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind

2009 · 65 min

A punchy, brightly animated martial-arts yarn that moves fast and asks little, fun for fans but thin for newcomers.

Overview
After the fall of Shadaloo, things went quiet and everyone continued with their daily routine. However a new evil is lurking on the horizon and the fighters that battled against Shadaloo must take up arms once again. Meanwhile a mysterious detective, whose motives are unknown, is going to any extent to find the lonesome wanderer Ryu, who appears to play a big part in the scheme of this new evil.
