Director Kitao Sakurai on the Canon and Style
For director Kitao Sakurai, assembling a cast that possessed a genuine appreciation for the source material was essential. Sakurai stated that Every single member of this cast shares a genuine love for Street Fighter video games and possesses an extremely deep understanding of the canon.
Sakurai added that they did not want to make an adaptation far from its roots, but rather to celebrate exactly what made the franchise great. Sakurai also indicated that the production embraces the vibrant, exaggerated style of the games rather than a hyper-realistic approach, noting that taking the property in an overly sober direction would miss the true spirit of the saga, which is described as a vibrant, colorful, exaggerated, and extremely entertaining franchise designed to make people feel the same emotion and intensity as when playing on arcade cabinets or a console.
