Avenue Fighter is hurricane kicking its method to theaters on October 16, and a brand new trailer has been proven within the lead-up to its launch that options among the sport’s core solid members throwing down in acquainted locales.
One of many extra notable fighters who acquired a while to shine on this trailer was E. Honda, who we see dealing with off towards Ryu in his well-known tub home stage. He pulls off his Sumo Headbutt transfer (and surprisingly, it doesn’t look completely absurd), in addition to his Hundred Hand Slap. For a second, it seems like Ryu is on the shedding finish of this combat earlier than he sends Honda flying with a Tatsumaki.
We additionally get to see Ryu and Ken brawling in a darkish alleyway, and it looks like these two have had a falling out sooner or later, doubtless spurred by Ryu dropping off the face of the earth to pursue a path that seems to contain the Darkish Hadou. We see him charging up a purple fireball as he says there was “darkness rising” inside him — whereas Ken tries and fails to launch a single Hadouken in his swanky condominium.
“I spent years dwelling in Ryu’s shadow,” Ken says, promising to “win all of it” on the World Warrior match thrown by M. Bison, who secretly plans on stealing the strongest fighters’ powers for himself (or one thing to that impact).
Chun-Li informs Ryu that Ken is at risk and urges him to “combat” and save him, although we aren’t certain of the specifics simply but. May this be a parallel to the animated 1994 film, the place Bison captures Ken, brainwashing and reworking him into Violent Ken?
Cody Rhodes additionally will get a while to shine as Guile, who, on this film, is a sarcastic, smart-mouthed man versus his stoic in-game counterpart. He delivers a number of humorous strains, one in all which sees him interacting with Andrew Schulz’s Dan Hibiki.
Notably, Roman Reigns additionally makes an look as Akuma, lifting up Alexander Volkanovski’s Joe with the ability of the Satsui no Hadou.
All in all, there’s so much to chew on and break down on this trailer. A number of characters are proven in numerous photographs all through the practically three-minute-long clip, together with Vega (Orville Peck), Balrog (50 Cent), Cammy (Mel Jarnson), and lots of extra.
