History Anime / StreetFighterIIV

MangaEntertainment and Animaze produced the original English dub in 1996. Interestingly, ADVFilms provided an alternate dub for the UK market in 1997.

'''''Street Fighter II V'''''[[hottip:*:That's "two-vee", not "two-five".]] is an anime series based on {{Capcom}}'s successful ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'' games which aired on Nippon Television in 1995. Produced by Group TAC and directed by Gisaburo Sugii, the same crew who worked on ''Anime/StreetFighterIITheAnimatedMovie'', ''Street Fighter II V'' centers around alternate interpretations of the iconic World Warriors, with younger versions of the duo RyuAndKen serving as the central characters.

* {{Brainwashed}}: [[spoiler: Chun-Li, after Vega gives her a "love potion"]]. Which is kinda, you know, [[FanDisservice creepy]] since Chun-Li is only ''fifteen'' in this particular continuity.

* ActionGirl: Chun-Li

* AlternateContinuity: Unlike ''The Animated Movie'', which attempted to be a faithful adaptation of the games (at least at far as the established canon as of ''Super Street Fighter II'' was concerned), ''Street Fighter II V'' has no qualms about taking as many liberties as possible with its depiction and characterization of the iconic World Warriors.

* BigEater: Ryu

* HeroicBSOD: Fei Long suffers one when [[spoiler: he learns that Dorai, his mentor, has died (he isn't dead, but he ''is'' very close to it).]] He ends up [[CryCute breaking down in tears]]. [[spoiler: He recovers in time to fight the person who almost did Dorai in, Cammy, and make her have a HeelFaceTurn.]]

* HotBlooded: Ryu, and Fei-Long. It's even in the episode title, "Hot Blooded Fei Long"!

* [[spoiler: ParentsIndistress: Chun-Li's dad Dorai is left comatose after Cammy's beatdown on him. When she returns to finish the job, however, Fei Long (whom he helped raise) steps in Dorai's defense and defeats Cammy, also triggering her HeelFaceTurn.]]

* TeenGenius: Fei Long and Chun Li: he's in his way to action movie stardom and age 17, she's a talented ActionGirl at 15. Ryu and Ken themselves may count too: their ages aren't specified, but they're not likely to be much older.

* {{Brainwashed}}: [[spoiler: Chun-Li, after Vega gives her a "love potion"]]. Which is kinda, you know, [[FanDisservice creepy]] since [[spoiler: Chun-Li is only ''fifteen'']] in this particular continuity.

* BreaktheCutie: Poor, unfarily imprisoned, tortured Ryu...

* CurbStompBattle: When Ryu has taken enough punishment in between Nucchi's torture and the bullying by other prisoners, he snaps and retaliates, even though Ken pleaded with him not to get into any more trouble after being incarcerated. Arguably, a CrowningMomentOfAwesome.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: After Bison [[spoiler: kills Nash, he tells Zoltar to give Nash a proper burial.]]

The story begins when filthy-rich heir Ken Masters, having grown bored with his lifestyle, calls his former martial arts training partner Ryu to visit him in San Franciso. After an encounter with Sergeant Guile of the US Air Force at a local dive, Ryu and Ken decide to travel the world to further improve their martial arts skills.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: Ryu and Ken
* HotBlooded: Ryu, and Fei Long. It's even in the episode title, "HotBlooded Fei Long"!

* NamesTheSame: In Episode 4, Ryu and Ken fight a pair of {{giant mook}}s named Sodom and Gomorrah. No, this Sodom did not wear [[FinalFight a homemade samurai armor]].

* HoYay: Let's just say that there's a lot of beefcake in certain scenes (like the gym at Guile's army base), and RyuAndKen are very comfortable in each others' company.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: A lot of it.
** Ryu is much more of a typical {{Shonen}} hero, in stark contrast to his [[TheStoic stoic]] persona in the games.
** Chun-Li is more innocent and outgoing. Justified, since she appears before [[spoiler: her father is murdered]].
** While many of the established ''Street Fighter II'' characters in this series still resembled their game counterparts somewhat, Nash (aka Charlie) looks different enough to be a completely different character, since this series was made before ''StreetFighterAlpha'' came out.

* AdaptationDyeJob: For some reason, Ken is a redhead instead of a blonde in this series.

''Anime/StreetFighterIIV'' was a 1995 {{Anime}} series based on {{Capcom}}'s successful ''StreetFighter'' games that lasted for 29 episodes. Boasting the same director as the ''Film/StreetFighterIITheAnimatedMovie'', ''[=SFIIV=]'' works as a prequel to ''StreetFighterII'', but has a slightly different take on the {{Canon}} than the ''StreetFighterAlpha'' games. It uses more typical anime tropes than other animated video game adaptations.

In this series, filthy-rich heir Ken Masters has grown bored with his lifestyle, so he calls his former martial arts training partner, Ryu, to visit him in San Franciso. After an encounter with Sergeant Guile of the US Air Force at a local dive, RyuAndKen decide to travel the world to further improve their martial arts skills.
