Street Fighter: The Movie Takes The Cover Of Anan Issue 2515

The tie-in runs as a fashion magazine cover package rather than a game press push, and Capcom's Street Fighter 6 director sits inside it as the credited supervisor, which is how the film is being sold to readers in Japan.

Street Fighter: The Movie Takes The Cover Of Anan Issue 2515

Magazine House puts the film on the cover of the anan issue 2515 special edition, on sale October 14. Andrew Koji (Ryu), Callina Liang (Chun-Li), and Noah Centineo (Ken) appear in their in-film costumes. The 9-page feature carries newly shot gravure, role preparation and a six-week training camp, and an interview with Capcom's Takayuki Nakayama. A pixel-art sticker set covers all 10 characters.

The cover is the three leads in costume: Andrew Koji as Ryu, Callina Liang as Chun-Li, and Noah Centineo as Ken. Inside, the magazine runs a nine-page film feature with newly shot gravure of the three in casual styles, material on their role preparation and a six-week training camp, and interviews covering behind-the-scenes anecdotes from the shoot.

Takayuki Nakayama, the director of Street Fighter 6 who supervised the film, gives an interview covering his work with the Hollywood team from the early scenario stage and his visit to the filming location in Australia. A character introduction page sets the live-action visuals beside the pixel art of Street Fighter II.
