As a long time Street Fighter fan, I had high hopes for this anime revolving around the teenage life of Ryu and Ken. I also eagerly awaited certain episodes where they interacted with other Street Fighter characters in a new light (ie. Ryu being friendly with Sagat, Ken sparring with Fei Long).
Unfortunately, this series ultimately failed to live up to my hopes all because of one major flaw: PAINFULLY SLOW PACING. It's almost as if after every sentence is uttered, there's a dramatic pause in between to lengthen the show. It also takes an entire episode for a hadouken that Ryu is charging to finally fire; until then, it's just a horribly slow build up where they're staring down, and any viewers nearby have a mental monologue of what they think about the situation. That, right there, is bad editing and directing at its finest.
SF2V had a lot going for it. Its premise is good, it's art style is excellent, and when some fighting scenes do happen, they're riveting. But the pacing was so abysmal, I actually dropped the series halfway through, then convinced myself to finish it just so I could write this review.
I don't know, maybe you'll enjoy it more than I did. But if anyone had something to complain about Log Horizon and Attack on Titan's pacing, they might want to watch this show to get a better perspective of how bad a show's pacing can truly get.
