Ryu’s classic backflip move is also among the important details that stand out in the trailer.
One of the most interesting and nostalgic moments, demonstrating how faithful the film remained to the original production, was the famous Car Destruction Bonus Scene.

During the presentation, the entire cast appeared on stage, electrifying the crowd and raising the excitement for the film to its peak.
The team also made a fun reference to the rival fighting game series Mortal Kombat on stage. With the trailer, character details, and stage show, the Street Fighter film, which has raised expectations considerably, will be released in theaters on October 16, 2026.
