The much anticipated live-action Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist movie web series trailer was posted online and it is amazing.

The trailer revealed that the series will premiere on the Machinima YouTube channel this May before arriving on television, on-demand, Blu-ray, and DVD.

Street Fighter: Legacy director and writer Joey Ansah is helming the series that began filming last July. Ansah launched a Kickstarter campaign last April, but he soon canceled the crowdfunding initiative after receiving full funding from unnamed supporters.

Ansah co-wrote the script for the new series with Christian Howard. Jacqueline Quella, who also produced Street Fighter: Legacy, is producing the series. Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono had announced the live-action feature-length series at San Diego Comic Con in 2012.

The series, set in Japan, is a coming of age story for Ryu and Ken, but will also feature Gouken, Gouki/Akuma, and Gōtetsu. Togo Igawa (The Last Samurai, 47 Ronin) plays Gōtetsu, while Mike Moh (Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight, School Dance) plays Ryu. Akira Koieyama (Blood: The Last Vampire, 47 Ronin) is cast as Gōken, and Shōgen (Kaiji: The Ultimate Gambler, The Shadow Inside) is performing as young Gōken. Gaku Space (Shake It Up!, How I Met Your Mother) plays young Gouki. Mark Killeen (The Game of Thrones, The Dark Knight Rises) plays Mr. Masters.
