What happens

Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie, known as Street Fighter II Movie (ストリートファイターII MOVIE, Sutorīto Faitā Tsū Mūbī) in Japan, is a 1994 anime film adaptation of the 1991 video game Street Fighter II, directed by Gisaburō Sugii, written by Kenichi Imai and animated by Group TAC and featuring character designs by Shuko Murase. Street Fighter II was the first fully animated film in the Street Fighter franchise, distributed by Capcom in Japan (20th Century Fox distributed the film in select countries). The film, originally released in Japan on August 6, 1994, was released theatrically in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, France, and Spain, and was adapted into English in dubbed and subtitled format by Animaze for Manga Entertainment. In the film, a group of professional fighters become aware of a conspiracy set by Shadowlaw, a criminal organization seeking world domination. Meanwhile, Ryu, unaware of the whole ordeal, seeks to test his skills across the world. The film was a critical and commercial success. Group TAC later produced a more loose adaptation of the Street Fighter II games, the anime series Street Fighter II V. Though unrelated to the film, a handful of Animaze voice actors reprised their roles for their English dub of the series, produced after ADV Films's dub. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
