No, it's because of the huge video game that's being released.

I've had poops that look more like street fighter than that. Has there actually been anything movie/tv that is good and resembles the game?

The US cartoon, the first Alpha anime, the "II" anime (the best really), the Jean-Claude vehicle.

You say it doesn't resemble Street Fighter but you don't really want it to look like Street Fighter... not even close.

The Jean Claude vehicle wasn't good.

But it looked like Street Fighter. I'd go as far as to say it being Street Fighter hurt an otherwise par-for-the-course Van Damme movie.

Ain't no way a Street Fighter movie can be faithful to the game while being a great movie, we can only hope for good. Even my own ideas for a Street Fighter movie would have hate mail sent to me for the changes I'd make. I think people need to educate themselves on the whole adaption process because the ones who cry loudest, even though huge fans of the material, don't really know what they're asking for.

I sympathize, but I not empathy - that's reserved for the production crew tasked with making sense out of the wackiest stories in media.

I said good and look. And yes it can.

We bought gloves for Michael [Duncan, who plays Balrog], who is the loveliest man. We thought it would be really funny if Chun-Li and Balrog had a fight on the street in the style of Street Fighter, where you fight on a straight line. And we did it! We filmed the whole thing. I wore an Asian mandarin collar, I put my hair in the buns, we went out to the pool and we shot it with the temple in the backdrop by the hotel. And he's in short shorts and the whole kit and caboodle. I do the side kick and I say "spinning bird kick" and we did the whole thing. It's somewhere, I don't know where it is. What we wanted to do is put in all of the power bars and all of the video FX, it was all planned.

That footage needs to be found.

this movie looks terrible, and I usually give any movie a chance.

now if they made a Street Fighter movie with the Sin City/300/Watchmen kind of treatment, than that would be cool.

Honestly, they just need to make a new anime, with quality animators, and let UDON write it, cause the comic is fucking awesome. Although, since they couldn't even get decent animators for the SF IV, that might be wishful thinking.
