M. Bison
for M. Bison in Live Action Street Fighter Show (The Right Way)
Suggested by petikishhun
So this live action series would be in the vein of the animated/web mini series but with a bigger budget and told by a origin story of each fighter from who they are and where they are going in a episode like format 1 hour each with about 19 episodes long. All of the characters would meet up at the end at the fighting tournament with only the world worriers from Street Fighter 2 would be the main focus and maybe some guest lore characters too on the side. The first season would flesh out the characters and their motivation or backstories where they all get to shine and doesn't get rushed like in a movie format. The end would see all of the fighters joining in and grouping up in the tournament but ends with M. Bison (which you hear about through the episodes but never see until now) cliffhanger for what is to come. The Street Fighter game series has a lot of lore and characters to take from. All of this could work with the right writing material and in a 90's setting. It would be true to the games as much has possible with characters looking close to how they act or look in the game but in live action.
