And if they don\u2019t, it\u2019s GAME OVER!”<\/p>\n Even if you are a longtime fan, we’ve got no idea if this is going to be one of the best video game movies<\/a> of the worst video game<\/a> movies… or do we?<\/p>\n It only takes a cursory Google or social media stalk to see people are not best pleased with the Street Fighter movie’s official explosion onto the scene. The above map isn’t the same as the one we see in the games, some of the mentioned characters have sprung out of nowhere, and the general casting vibes are dramatically off.<\/p>\n “They used the wrong world map,” one fan replied to the news on X\/Twitter<\/a>, with a second adding: “They are not even characterized as the characters, it’s just normal photos of the actors.”<\/p>\n Over on Reddit<\/a>, feedback is even more scathing. “This is a ridiculously weird cast,” one fan writes, as another complains: “Absolute f**king garbage.”<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n
