Seth Killian Responds to the SSF4 anime movie Xbox360 exclusivity

ssf4anime

I had the chance to talk to Seth Killian about the recently announced SSF4 Juri anime and i was able to ask him a couple of questions about the movie as well as the potential of a street Fighter Anime TV series. Check out what killian had to say:

Strugler: could you elaborate on what shizowa said, is this a juri movie? or is it a ssf4 anime movie? Shizowa san said the movie is exclusive to xbox360 is this true or is it just a mistranslation?

Seth Killian: Not sure what the difference btw “Juri movie” and “SSFIV movie” is, exactly, but I would say it’s an SSFIV movie that focuses on Juri, as she is the main character focus of SSFIV. As for exclusivity, Shiozawa’s statements refer only to the Japanese territory.  No decisions have been made for other regions.

Strugler: What are the chances of a street fighter anime tv series ?

Seth Killianan anime TV series isn’t strictly up to Capcom–we don’t produce tv series, we just license our characters to other groups who produce them.  I’m certain if there were a good opportunity with the right group, Capcom would consider it.


Judging by Seth’s response i say there is a high chance that PS3 owners  outside of Japan will also get the anime. What do you folks think?

this Japan-exclusive thing for the x360 smells like a marketing movie by MSOFT since they aren’t doing that well there… anyways my money is on a not outside Jp distribution of the anime…

Spellchecks. Use them.

Please God! I’m a SF Fanatic! I want one of everything coming with the release of the new game. Stick, toys, pads, MOVIE! Please do not keep this from us! Us being American or PS3 gamers.

Lonny | January 27, 2010 at 6:39 pm

I sure hope that it comes to ps3 owners in the us!

Nando | January 27, 2010 at 8:42 pm

Uhm, I don’t think an anime TV series would be a good idea.

arlington Cruz | January 27, 2010 at 9:25 pm

An Anime series?… depends if there is a rare chance that you get a great team with a good writer who cares about the series and knows about the street fighter universe to work on it(and all the stars align).

I would love to see a well done series to Compliment street fighter, and not terrible live action movies (No more Justin Marks scripts and now he is writing Shadow of the Colossus).

And regarding Yuri movie I am hoping we ps3 owners get all the goods. Otherwise,I’ll just have to download and watch it…

an anime series fir SF4 would be delicious

Rhuen | January 27, 2010 at 10:20 pm

Well I would say as a PS3 owner that I would love to see it come over. But not as an exclusive to a collectors editions, but perhaps as DLC on the Capcom online store. the PS3 can download movies, so not a problem, don’t know about the 360’s abilities in this area though.

As for a series, well Street Fighter has had two longer lasting ones by video game animation standards an American cartoon geared towards younger audiences and the anime series Street Fighter V. I’d say a series placed later in the time line like IV, and doesn’t treat them like cheesy super-heroes would have potential. But then again at the same time I could see Capcom go crazy and stick chibi-versions like Gem Fighter for a cross-over with Super Hero Squad LoL.

Igotdembombs | January 27, 2010 at 10:51 pm

Well considering there was an English version of the trailer, I’m going to guess that it will be distributed outside of Japan.
Gonzo is MA SHIT so I reeeeaaaally hope they give it to us loyal PS3 fans!

Daz | January 27, 2010 at 11:24 pm

I the athour blind or something didn’t Seth just say “No decisions have been made for other regions.”

You know… just taking a step back and thinking about it with the given clues, I think Capcom is yanking the US chain a bit. That or Capcom of America wants to be the one to announce the details to the US market themselves. The photoshopped looking version of the cover is just that, a photoshopped version that’s never meant to be the final design. It’s just put there to rial ppl up. And even if the Juri movie is Japan exclusive, why make an english dub of the movie instead of just an english sub? Capcom already has a track record of essentially lying through their teeth untill they’re good and ready to make an announcement about stuff. Both SFIV and SSFIV were both well into development when people started asking about them and they still had a “no comment” or just plain “no” approach. I’m calling shenanigans on Capcom! They’re trying to be tricky tricky.

Fansubs… a wonderful thing.

warlord | January 28, 2010 at 10:40 am

seriously they have the dolls in the video and cammy isnt getting the doll outfit? CAPCOM I AM DISSAPPOINT

arlington Cruz | January 28, 2010 at 12:23 pm

@Fire-Tisane.
Yeah Capcom always wants to take people by surprise. But sometimes, it’s a bit too much on their part.

TonyG | January 28, 2010 at 7:03 pm

No offense to Nakky but she often comes off as kind of an airhead in her posts. I’m sure whatever she said or however it was translated it was not meant to be a Japan exclusive movie. Isn’t there already an dub trailer or was that fan made? Regardless I’m sure the movie will suck, we’ll hem and haw till we get it, watch it once then forget about it forever.

TonyG | January 28, 2010 at 7:05 pm

I’d also like to note that this week has been all about Lost Planet 2 announcements and TvC launch for CAPCOM USA I’m sure they just couldn’t fit any major SSFIV info on their plate and will get to it next week.

Lonny | January 28, 2010 at 8:09 pm

I thought they were going to say something new about the game on friday.

Lonny | January 28, 2010 at 8:12 pm

@Fire-tisane

I thought capcom always wanted to say GOTCHA! And the whole dub thing, that could just mean that there is an option to switch the languages.

Annonymous | January 29, 2010 at 4:02 am

@ warlord

Why would Cammy go back to wearing her ‘doll’ outfit?
That outfit represents she is under M. Bison’s influence..
The other dolls don’t seem to have escaped M. Bison’s control over them, though I can’t say I know exactly what’s going on with Juri attacking them.

Perhaps Seth wants her to eliminate anyone that has connections to M. Bison to test her strength..
