Matador premiered earlier today at Evolution 2014, immediately after UMvC3 semi-finals. If you missed it, you can now watch the entire short film in HD-quality for free.
It was written by Brett D. Bayonne, produced by Greg Gertmenian, and directed by Vahe Gabuchian – the team that brought you Balrog: Behind the Glory. However, Matador is a gritty drama with an all-new cast; focusing on Street Fighter’s sociopathic and self-adoring Spanish ninja, Vega.
A marked deviation from its comedic predecessor, the film takes an unflinching look at Claw’s traumatic childhood and the events that made him into the rage-fueled assassin he is today. In addition to the massive audience in attendance at the event, over 80,000 viewers from all over the world watched Matador live-streamed online.
