Street Fighter trailer packs a punch with Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li

Street Fighter‘s trailer unleashes the whole crew of elite warriors from Capcom’s iconic video game franchise.

Set in 1993 and directed by Kitao Sakurai, the upcoming action film focuses on Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken Masters (Noah Centineo). Once good friends, the pair have since become estranged. That all changes when Chun-Li (Callina Liang) recruits them for the World Warrior Tournament, a high-stakes series of fights that masks a deadly conspiracy.

As Street Fighter‘s trio battles to uncover the truth, they’ll face off with some of Street Fighter‘s most formidable foes, including M. Bison (David Dastmalchian), Balrog (Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson), and Akuma (Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa’i).

The trailer showcases these fighters and more in all their aggressive glory, including some body slams from Zangief (Olivier Richters) and some elastic moves from Dhalsim (Vidyut Jammwal). Plus, there are several in-jokes for Street Fighter fans, like a remark tied to Chun-Li’s impressive thigh strength.

And of course, it wouldn’t be Street Fighter without a Hadouken, which Ryu unleashes in full towards the end of the trailer. To witness that (and several other awesome attacks), check out the full video above.

Street Fighter hits theaters Oct. 16.
