[Animated Series] Street Fighter: The Complete Animated Series (1995)

StoryLine - 

"Street Fighter TAS" is an animated television series produced by InVision Entertainment based on the Street Fighter video game franchise by Capcom. The series aired as part of the USA Network's Cartoon Express and Action Extreme Team lineups. It lasted two 13-episode seasons which aired from 1995 to 1997, for a total of 26 episodes.

The show is closely based on the Street Fighter II series, but also borrows plot elements and characters from the live-action Street Fighter film and the first two Street Fighter Alpha games, as well as other Capcom games such as Saturday Night Slam Masters, Magic Sword, and Final Fight. In fact, there were three episodes in the second season that were adaptations of those games, the three episodes themselves being "New Kind Of Evil", "The Warrior King", and "Final Fight". Also in the episode "The Strongest Woman in the World", there were three robots that struck a resemblance to the robots from Cyberbots: Fullmetal Madness.

Colonel William F. Guile is the leader of the "Street Fighters", an international undercover peacekeeping force composed of martial artists from around the world. They often face off against the ruthless General Bison and his Shadaloo criminal empire. They follow a code of honor involving the keywords "discipline", "justice" and "commitment".

All 17 fighters from Super Street Fighter II Turbo appeared in some form throughout the entire series, with Guile, Chun-Li, Blanka, Ryu, Ken and Cammy serving as the show's primary characters, while M. Bison, Sagat, Vega and Zangief serve as primary antagonists. Since the arcade version of Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams was only recently released when the show began airing, most of the new fighters that were introduced in that game only make a cameo in one episode ("The Medium is the Message") during the first season.

The second season (which aired after the release of Street Fighter Alpha 2) would feature the Alpha roster more prominently, with characters such as Rose (in "The Flame and the Rose") and Sakura (in "Second to None") being the focus of certain episodes. One episode even adapts the plot of Final Fight, whose characters have been featured as playable fighters in the Alpha series. Some non-playable characters from the games were also featured in the show such as Cammy's Delta Red compatriots (although they are given different character designs and names) and Gouken. In contrast, Guile's wife and daughter from the games (Jane and Amy) were omitted, giving him a new love interest in the form of his ex-fiancée Cindy in their place, while Ken's girlfriend Eliza was also omitted in favor of making the character into a womanizer.

While the series references the events of the live-action movie, adopting some of its story elements such as the full names and occupations of certain characters (e.g. William F. Guile, Chun-Li Xiang), the presence of Captain Sawada in certain episodes and the character of Blanka being an amalgamation of himself and Guile's war buddy Charlie, it also deviated from the film in other aspects, particularly in regards to Balrog's and Dee Jay's respective allegiances (switching them back to how they were in the actual games), as well as Zangief's own allegiance (who still works for Shadaloo in the series, despite leaving the organization to join Guile's group by the end of the movie).
