Version of Street Fighter Zero (1999) (V)

Ryu and Ken get no Luv like they should

Does Hollywood not understand Street Fighter? Every kid and young adult knows that Street Fighter is mainly about Ryu and Ken. That is why the Street Fighter Movies have failed because they don't stay true to the characters and game. Honestly, not many people care about the other character's story as much as Ryu and Ken's. These two are legend on their own. So why would you know involve them and make them the main characters instead of the role players? I think someone who REALLY plays and knows the game of Street Fighter should direct it instead of having people just come in from the blind and try to make it. Anyone agree?
