To overcome and bring the best Street Fighter On the big screen, stunt coordinator John Valera paid close attention to fighting styles in video games.
Noah Centineo, who plays Ken Masters in the Paramount adaptation of the Capcom video game, which will premiere in IMAX on October 16, credited Valera for capturing the “different fighting styles” of the game’s many characters.
“Each character comes from a different background, pretty much right?” he explained GamesRadar+. “So there’s about over 150 characters, all with different backgrounds, different fighting styles, and John Valera, our stunt coordinator, had to research each character and their specific fighting style for each fight.”
Centineo added, “Yes, the signature goes on in the game [are in the movie]So that he can make them fight against each other in their specific fighting styles, in their specific style. Careful attention to detail was shown, and I think it’s really a win. There are crazy fights in the film and every character is brutal.
