This obscure Street Fighter anime was originally released on video in 1995, and only in Japan. Created to help promote a Fujiwara themed exhibition, the anime has Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li and Honda sent back through time, where they learn about Fujiwara -a place considered to be Japan's first real capital.
Aside from the video release, the only other release of the film would be in 2004, where it would be bundled on DVD in a box set along with the complete collection of Masaomi Kanzaki's Street Fighter II: Ryu manga. And again, this set was only released in Japan. This film has yet to be dubbed into English and was missed off things like the Street Fighter 25th Anniversary set.
I was able to obtain a copy of the manga/DVD set, and for years it sat there doing nothing... until now! With the usual massive thanks to shmuplations for accepting my commission, enjoy this English subtitled version of the film. And please check out shmuplations:

Brazilian Portuguese subtitles are now also available.
The end of the video features art from the only extra feature on the DVD: a gallery full of character sketches. If you want to see better quality versions, head over to my site:

One last note -the "kameishi" Honda mentions at 2:19 means "turtle rock". It's a famous landmark in Japan: ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%BA%...
