Via a report by Shoryuken.com (from Deadline), Joey Ansah, Jacqueline Quella, and Mark Wooding are teaming up with eOne to produce the series. Capcom's Yoshinori Ono - executive producer of the Street Fighter series, was delighted as well and shared a statement about the project:
"After a long search, guided by the team behind Assassin’s Fist, we are delighted to be partnering with a company with the outstanding TV experience of Mark Gordon and eOne. They have the credentials to help us launch a faithful adaptation of Street Fighter as a major TV series."
No word on when this new live-action Street Fighter television series comes out or what the title is, but it could be soon so stay tuned.
Hitting consoles and PC in the next few months and bringing 12 whopping titles from the series history to one mega console title, Capcom has invited fighting game enthusiast and video game You Tube personality Maximilian Dood to test out an early build of "Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection", and he has prepared a video showcasing bits of gameplay footage along with his personal thoughts on the new compilation featuring such games as Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike in it.

It's been a long time since we celebrated and shouted "HADOUKEN!", "SHORYUKEN!", or "SONIC BOOM!" with feeling, but August 30th is a good time to do so this year as it marks the 30TH ANNIVERSARY of "Street Fighter"!
Released on this day three decades ago, the original Street Fighter was not as popular as its 1991 sequel - with only two playable characters in Ryu and Ken and fighting different CPU controlled opponents until they reach the final boss in Sagat. This game would set many of the conventions and standards that would follow in later sequels and spin-offs, and by the time Street Fighter II arrived - the rest was HISTORY.

With so much happening and celebrations going on worldwide, Street Fighter has certainly evolved into a BIG FRANCHISE that while struggling with its own share of hits and misses - is undeniably THE most recognizable fighting game franchise of all time!
For a slight Throwback, here is the "I Am Street Fighter" documentary released five years ago to honor the 25th Anniversary of the series.
Arriving just in time for Street Fighter's 30th Anniversary, Capcom has revealed the next character to arrive in "Street Fighter V" - and her name is "Menat" - a fortune teller girl who is the student of one of Street Fighter veteran fighters.
Check her out in action in the reveal trailer below.
SFV: Menat Reveal Trailer
Menat will be available in Street Fighter V for PS4 and PC.
She's strong hearted and a bit of tomboy in terms of attitude, but make no mistake - she is dearly loved by fans of Street Fighter across the globe! Ryu fangirl and "Precious Heart" world warrior Sakura Kasugano (or simply "Sakura" for short) celebrates her birthday this March 15 - and it comes in the year when Street Fighter celebrated its 30th Anniversary too! The character made her big debut in Street Fighter Alpha 2/ Street Fighter Zero 2, and has since gone on to appear in other spin-offs, sequels, and even in the Rival Schools franchise!
As a trip down memory lane, here are some of her most memorable themes:
Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold - Sakura Theme
スーパーパズルファイターII X - I Want You to Know (Vocal Theme)
Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha/ Street Fighter EX 3 - Precious Heart
Timed to coincide with the latest revelation of details for Nintendo's upcoming new console hybrid in the "Nintendo Switch" - which hits markets worldwide on March 3, 2017, Capcom has officially unveiled their contribution to the line-up of games coming post-launch, and that is in the form of the retro new title called "Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers"!
Taking a cue from last console generation's release "Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix", Ultra Street Fighter II will contain all fighters from Super Street Fighter II Turbo, including Akuma, and give players the option to switch between old school graphics and the new HD graphics illustrated by UDON Entertainment. Additionally, two new fighters seen in other games will be added to the mix - Evil Ryu and Violent Ken - the dark versions of the two main Shoto protagonists of the Street Fighter series. The game honors Street Fighter's 30th Anniversary this year, and will feature online play as well as taking advantage of the Switch's handheld option and Joy-Con features.
