Street Fighter Alpha: The Animation—released in Japan as Street Fighter Zero: The Animation (ストリートファイターZERO?) and also known as Street Fighter Alpha: The Movie—is a 1999 OVA film loosely based on the Street Fighter Alpha series. It was directed by Shigeyasu Yamauchi, with character designs by Yoshihiko Umakoshi. An English adaptation was produced by Manga Entertainment and released in 2000.The film commemorates the tenth anniversary of the arcade release of the original Street Fighter II. It is not a prequel or sequel to either Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie or Street Fighter II V, but an independent installment, although a handful of voice actors from the previous adaptations reprised their roles for the English version.The story starts when Ryu is thinking of Gouken's death, then intervenes in a shoot-out to help Chun-Li. Afterwards, he and Ken are contacted by a boy named Shun — who claims to be Ryu's younger brother! Neither is really convinced by Shun's claim, but they decide that there's no harm on letting the boy tag along with them. Things start getting hairy, however, when the three decide to enter the Street Fighter tournament: not only Ryu is starting to show more and more sympthoms of the Satsui no Hado awakening within him, but Shun's background and the people behind it start to unfurl...

comment
Darker and Edgier: This is one of the darkest and most violent entries in the overall franchise. There's lots of blood, nightmarish imagery, implied Attempted Rape, Coldblooded Torture, and a child getting brutalized and even dying at the end. Overall, the movie has a depressing tone compared to the more upbeat, while still intense, series in general.

comment
The Worf Effect: Despite Ken often being considered Ryu's equal, he gets viciously thrashed by Rosanov alongside Chun-li and Birdie (no slouches themselves) to show that only Ryu is a match for him. Even Ryu himself spends both of his fights with Rosanov taking a beating and only by giving into the Dark Hado can he truly put him down.
