Whoo..this one was a doozy. This project took me 2 years, and around 9 months to finish. There were several problems on my end; computer and HD deaths, university craziness, other project priority, life and personal drama, lack of inspiration, all those things. I thought that the project was cursed and that I'd never get this done. Heck, even in this last process, I was plagued with multiple After Effects crashes and calls to improvise.
I really want to thank my cast for being so patient and understanding for the delays. It's got to be annoying to never see your work completed, so I was urged by that fear to finish this no matter what. On the subject of thanks, I'm really embarrassed that I left this out of the credits, but MAJOR thanks to vasili10 and Tiamat for writing the Street Fighter Plot Canon Gude (currently at 5.0). Without that compiling of information I NEVER could have done this. Just figuring out the order the protagonists fought Bison in was tough enough and that was WITH the info given.
All in all, I'm happy that this long journey is over, and am excited to move on to new projects. This was to be my last Dingo Scraps in Windows Movie Maker, but through the hiatus, I was able to purchase After Effects and well, it was madness to even think of going back. Part of the project was completed in WMM and it shows (I regret that lapse in quality and use of amateur transitions, but oh well.)
Wow, lots of talking, bonus points to all who read this.
Anyways, what's this latest episode about?
Well, back in 09 when I was planning this out, Street Fighter 4 had finally been announced as a reality and was quickly building steam. I decided to do something with all my excitement, have some fun and help bridge the knowledge gap by showing how we went from Alpha 2 to SF2. I then basically wanted to get all the main contributors to the official story for Alpha 3 together and try to make a decent movie out of it. Given the fact that this is a fighting game, the story was a little all over the place. Some gaps are ahead, so be warned. This was, as always for fun. I hope everyone can find enjoyment out of this. It was a labour of love and I'm thinking it's worth the 20 minute length.
Have fun and see you next time guys! Don't worry, it wont take 2 years this time. ;)
All the best!

That was pretty cool. I was about to ask where T. Hawk was.

@DeadpoolAndFriends Hey dude,
It's been a while, how's it all going? Thanks for stopping by! Hehe, yea, I left out Hawk till the end because he didn't really have a major impact on the story.

Bison got all the awesome lines...

@AlphaProto Lol, yea, he got some good ones. I particularly liked "Die in your misery! Psycho crusher!" Aramek rocked this one majorly. :)

This is some pretty good work there old buddy SD, none of the performances are bad but I found U-1 as Ryu, GeneralIvan as Adon and FrancineLouise as Rose to be the highlights. (Though all 3 of your performances are good I did like your Vega the most though.)

@PJServo Thanks dude. :) Agreed, though I think all the cast really did great (I wasn't happy with my Vega, it was more of a fill in at the last minute). I think I've got to single out U-1 for the effort he put in this; tons of re-takes and screaming and putting up with my bizarre text to speech instructions for PsychoRyu. Poor guy almost lost his voice! D:
