Plot and episodes

The story opens with Laura Matsuda, a fighter determined to prove herself on the world stage, seeking a challenge from Ken Masters; two mysterious strangers intervene. Ken and Ryu are then called to help Interpol with an undercover arms-deal operation in London, where the appearance of a dangerous figure confirms worrying news. The operation unravels around a potent new weapon of mass destruction, and Nash goes on the warpath. In the finale, Decapre escapes with the "Dark Hado Bomb," and only Laura stands between the bomb and the destruction of London.⁸

The four episodes aired weekly:⁸

"Here Comes a New Challenger!" (March 15, 2016)
"Fight & Flight" (March 22, 2016)
"Mission Critical" (March 29, 2016)
"Countdown" (April 5, 2016)

Announcement and production

The series was announced at the conclusion of the Capcom Cup 2015 Finals in December 2015, where Street Fighter series producer Yoshinori Ono revealed it under the working title Street Fighter V: Resurrection as a live-action project by Machinima, the company behind Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist.⁶ A teaser shown at the event gave a glimpse of Nash.⁶ Capcom's announcement described the series as shedding light on what happened to Charlie Nash to give him his current monstrous appearance and attitude.⁷ TheTVDB credits the production company as Giant Ape Media.⁴

Place in the Street Fighter franchise

Resurrection extends the continuity established by Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist, the 2014 web series about Ryu and Ken's training, moving the story from a secluded training environment into a contemporary conspiracy-action setting involving Interpol and a shadowy arms operation linked to Shadaloo.⁴^•⁹ It is one of only three productions, alongside Street Fighter: Legacy and Assassin's Fist, that form a recognizable licensed live-action thread within the franchise's otherwise largely stand-alone adaptations.¹⁰ Commentators describe it as a bridge or sequel chapter tied to the launch of Street Fighter V and the go90 platform, best watched after Assassin's Fist rather than as a standalone introduction.⁹

The title should not be confused with "Resurrection" (リザレクション, Rizarekushon), the automatic revival Super Art used by the boss character Gill in the Street Fighter III series, or with the 2026 theatrical Street Fighter film directed by Kitao Sakurai.¹¹

Reception and availability

The series holds a 6.0 rating on IMDb.⁵ After its go90 run, it streamed on Amazon Prime Video from May 2017 until January 2019 and has since been unavailable on mainstream streaming services in the United States, a situation compounded by the shutdown of Machinima.⁵
