Summary: Don't expect the movie Quality...
Review: I bought this DVD and while I am a fan of Street Fighter (Grew up on it and my dad owns an amusement company so I got to play the real thing =P)I hated the Series.This volume was the only one I picked up since they had it and vol 4 at circuit city and I'd never seen the SF Series so I decided to check it out.Here goes what to watch out for if You're considering buying it.What I expected was a quality around the area of the SWEET SF 2 Animated Movie (Buy it),this was not.The animation is odd looking in parts,I don't like the Voice acting (That's what Japanese Subbed is for) and this DVD Is hella fuzzy in picture quality.I was surprised to see the other good reviews but I guess It's a pretty good DVD If You've seen the series.But whatever you do,DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING NEAR THE MOVIE QUALITY,and try and rent before you buy on this one if you're a newbie to the series.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Volume 3, the best?
Review: I have seen all four volumes of Street Fighter II V, and have to SF2 Volume 3 is probably the best. For one, The fight scene between Ken and Vega is the best because it is the most violent fight and both characters are evenly matched in my opinion. In addition, Vega's character is fully developed, he is an excellent villian by being psycho. Also, Cammy makes her first cameo appearance.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic and amazing!
Review: I would like to say that this animated movie would only be recomended to people who are fan of SF.The plot of this movie is kind of slow and the animation looks a little old but everything else is great.As a big fan of Street Fighter I was paying to much attention to the development of all the characters in the story and not too much attention to the plot.The action scenes are great and bloody.To much blood makes me sick.The fight between ken and Vega(Balrog)was too long and too bloody.I really don't know how ken could survive after losing all that blood.Anyways,I don't want to give details about the fight but it was good.The appearence of cammy in the story gave it a lot more sense and beauty.That girl really know how to steal the attention of everyone.This movie diserve a 4 or a 3 if it wasn't for the action scenes and for Cammy :) but as these two things were included in the movie it diserves a 5 for sure.Buy it,it is really cool!Another thing,don't spet to see the orginal opening and closing theme from the serie.I don't know why did they had to change the music,I was sad when I watched it and didn't heard that fantastic music :(

Summary: Better Than The Movie But Not Without Flaws
Review: This series is based on the hit video game. It's 29 episodes long and spans four DVDs. The first three DVDs contain seven episodes each, and the fourth DVD contains eight episodes. Unfortunately, the DVDs has few extras. There are some anime DVD previews, info on other titles, links to Internet sites, and a remix of the theme song. The fourth DVD has a trailer for "Street Fighter Alpha: The Movie", which is unrelated to the V ("Victory") series. Also, the DVDs (at least my copies, which I watch on my computer monitor) have an annoying flaw. Whenever the camera shot changes, the very top and very bottom of the screen has static or something. The DVDs are bilingual. The English dub is mostly accurate, but there are many differences in the dialogue. My advice is to watch it in Japanese with English subtitles first and then in English. Sometimes, I like to watch DVDs in English with English subtitles. It allows me to easily see the changes in dialogue. The "Street Fighter II V" DVDs don't give you that option, but I'm able to do it using the DVD Player program on my computer. One big problem that I have with the audio is that the theme song has been changed in the Japanese audio track as well. Never mess with the original audio track! As for the series itself, it's a lot better than the movie. There is room for a lot of characters. Blanka fans will be disappointed. He doesn't appear. The series takes some creative liberties, such as making Ken, Ryu, and Chun Li teenagers, but that's fine. The series is mostly about Ken and Ryu, but Chun Li is also developed nicely. Unfortunately, the final episode is mostly about Ken and Ryu's battle with Bison, leaving only a small amount of time for the ending. Several plots go unresolved. Spoilers Ahead. Does Chun Li's father survive, or does he die? This is an important part of the plot, and we'll never get an answer. We don't even see Fei Long tell Chun Li that her father is in the hospital. Does Cammy come to Chun Li and admit that she tried to murder her father? The series wastes a large amount of time with redundancies. Each episode begins with a recap of the previous episode. After that, the final scene of the previous episode is replayed and leads into the current episode. At the end of each episode, there's a preview of the next episode. On the fourth DVD, half of one of the episodes consists of a recap of previous episodes. What was the point? Also, there are lots of instances of panning camera shots of still or nearly-still pictures; Ken and Ryu charging up their special attacks; and characters running around, trying to get someplace. Near the end of the series, I was thinking "They could've shortened this" every minute or so. One episode could easily have been trimmed from this series without any loss in plot or characterization - perhaps more. I'm guessing that the production team was trying to make more money with less animation. If even five minutes had been cut from the final episode (which could have easily been done), then they could have added Fei Long arriving on the island and telling Chun Li about her father, Chun Li at the hospital, Cammy talking with Chun Li, simultaneous funerals for Guile's friend Nash and Chun Li's father Dorai, and Ken being reunited with his parents. Instead, the only thing that's resolved is the threat of Bison. You'd think that, with 29 episodes, they'd be able to finish what they started. Overall, this is an enjoyable series, but Chun Li (and perhaps Cammy) fans will be disappointed with the ending.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must see anime!
Review: This volume of the extraordinary animated serie is the best.Here is when Cammy makes her first appearence in the serie in "Beautiful assasin" and the fight between Ken and Vega(Balrog in Japan).This volume is a must see even if you haven't yet seen the other three volumes.You won't be disapointed by this one.This volumen also has those awsome action scenes that SF is known for,beautiful and strong women and an extraordinary plot.If you really are an SF fan you won't want to miss this one now do you?Buy it and see for yorself what I'm really talking about.

Rating: 5 stars
