IT’S MORPHING TIME!
For those among us that still play nWay’s Power Rangers: Legacy War mobile game, you might recall that Street Fighter’s Ryu was recently added to the game’s roster as the Ryu Ranger(not to be confused with RyuuRanger of Gosei Sentai DaiRanger), and a live action short film was teased to commemorate the occasion. After some time; the Power Rangers Legacy Wars: Street Fighter Showdown short film has finally been released for your viewing pleasure.
Street Fighter’s own Ryu and Chun Li team up with the legendary Tommy Oliver(Jason David Frank) and Super Megaforce’s Gia(Ciara Hanna) to stop Rita and M.Bison’s nefarious schemes. The film was done by Bat in the Sun, known for their Super Power Beat Down videos in conjunction with Hasbro’s AllSpark Studios. The result is a fan film you’ll just have to watch for yourself:
What did you think of the fan film? Would you want more Power Rangers/Street Fighter crossovers in the future? Make the jump and let us know in the discussion thread.

The need to give Chun Li her own coin and suit. It's not fair that she's the most memorable/iconic female of the SF series and doesn't get the same treatment a Ryu in this. C'mon!!
Librarian says
Not bad. Pretty fun. Lacks some of the charm of other Bat in the Sun stuff, but still good.
Tommy says
I was hoping I'd never have to see that awful Green Ranger suit again.
FerrousMaelstrom says
It's a neat, if incredibly silly, little thing, fun but certainly not required viewing.
Guess Gia's actor (Ciara Hanna) must like being a Power Ranger because she keeps coming back for stuff.
And on a similar note, Tommy is here. Because of course he is. And in Green Ranger V2 because... they had the suit lying around, I guess.
Ryu Ranger does look pretty cool but Chun Li gets a real bad deal here.

Not bad, but also unnecessary. I like Tommy as much as the next guy, but there were so many other great rangers of the past it’s kind of a shame they are not utilized more.
I get the show and maybe bonus promotional short films like this or the shattered grid promo, but even in the comics it’s all Tommy, Tommy, Tommy stuff with not nearly enough emphasis on other iconic rangers or seasons.
On another note, it could have used a suit for Chun-Li that was a missed opportunity, but I can’t wait for the official Ryu Ranger SDCC exclusive from Hasbro one day that suit looked nice. It reminded me of of a mix between the red eagle ranger from Jetman and the MMPR/ Dairsnger White Ranger suit, which is kind of funny because Dairanger did have a RyuuRanger too.
Kiryu says
I'll say this much: the Ryu Ranger suit looks better in this than it does in the game.
