Street Fighter Legacy's next step

11.05.2010

Assuming Capcom goes for it and a format deal is worked out, Ansah's already ready to tackle the next part of the story. His ambition is to tell the back story behind Street Fighter II (since that's where most fans discovered the series), which would require a lot of casting to get young Ken and young Ryu right -- not to mention finding someone to fill Chun-Li's epic thighs.

"Luckily, I have I would say 80 percent of all the characters already cast," he said. "You've seen my Ryu and Ken and me as [nightmare version] Akuma... I've got a lot of the other characters bookmarked. There's a couple that I would need to do quite a wide casting search for. Chun-Li's a tough one."

With fan support, however, Ansah and Quella are confident they can fully realize Ansah's vision beyond the little slice of awesome that is Street Fighter: Legacy.

"I want to level with the fans and speak to them face-to-face and say look, I?m one of you guys," Ansah said. "Yeah, I benefit from working in the film business but I'm still a little guy on my own compared to the massive machine that is Hollywood, but someone's got to do something about it. I've done the hard part with my team -- all you guys need to do is to get behind us, support it, drive it forward, and we can't fail."
