MATADOR (Evo 2014 Vega Short Film)

A gritty drama focusing on Street Fighter's sociopathic and self-adoring Spanish ninja, Vega. Matador, details Claw's traumatic upbringing and the pivotal sequence of events that made him into the assassin he is today. First screened at EVO 2014. Buy the Music: cdbaby.com/cd/dylanglatthorn2

[@PlanetJohnny]

It took 20 years for a live-action film to get Vega's character right, but someone finally did it.

[@MrJimmyTide]

If only we could say the same about the costume. That mask and claw were cosplay quality.

[@LadyVader33]

MrJimmyTide I disagree about the claw

[@Talsedoom]

First anime Street Fighter did it very well.

[@luvfreedom1470]

The mask sucked but the claw was very adequate. The choreography was a bit lacking as it could have been a bit more dramatic and powerful, especially when he finishes off the priest. This is still 1,000 times better than what Hollywood did though.

[@silverwindspirit]

And the storyline......how the heck was this written better then anything in hollywood. Heck, even the balrog one is awesome

[@punchabunchabuttons]

Im sorry. But this short movie is 10 times better then anything Hollywood can come up with SF...

[@UberTheWolf]

Have you seen Assassin's Fist? If not, you should definitely check it out. It focuses on Ryu, Ken, Gouken and Akuma's origins. A feature length film made by fans for fans, given blessing by capcom and they're working on a sequel about the World Warrior tournament.

[@punchabunchabuttons]

Actually that's is exactly what i'm watching right now. :) A friend of mine suggested to me recently. I have noticed this Matador short on the side while watching Assasin's fist. Btw, i did not know it was fan made and that it had a follow up. Thx for that. The acting is a bit off but the pace and storyline of it is awesome. I will look forward to the World Warrior.

It took me ages to discover this fanfilm. But holy crap... this fanfilm alone is better than any of the SF movies we got! Vega’s character was on point! I’d love to see a full length film on him he’s always been my favourite character 🌹

[@ImpossibleIsNothin]

This, "Assasin's Fist", and "Balrog:Behind The Glory" are what Street Fighter needs. Live-Actions that do the characters justice and have beautiful creativity.

[@johnpaulgontor2362]

I wish those SF Movies will be connected as an shared universe.

[@crashingblow3753]

Does The Broken Gear: a Final Fight film also count as a good Street Fighter live-action adaptation? I know it's based off of Final Fight, but everyone knows that that game is connected to the street fighter universe, so I guess it would make sense to consider The Broken Gear a street fighter movie as well.

[@ImpossibleIsNothin]

@@crashingblow3753 I've never seen "Broken Gear". Gotta check it out. But yeah, Street Fighter and Final Fight are the same universe, so it would count. I always thought it be awesome to have a cinematic universe or TV series that has "Street Fighter" stories, and "Final Fight" stories, and has "Saturday Night Slammasters"/"Muscle Bomber" characters as that universe's WWE

[@jtvprodesign]

I can't believe they speak Spanish. They is staying true to the Vega character.. thump up

[@AidenWarren]

Jason Vu Yup! but I wonder why they didn't go with the actual original Japanese name "Balrog" Original names were Bison > VegaBalrog > Bison Vega > Balrog (The original Japanese version of Street Fighter II introduced an African-American boxer boss character, a parody of real-life boxer Mike Tyson. In order to avoid any likeness infringement lawsuit from Tyson, Capcom rotated the names of three of the boss characters for international versions of the game. The final boss, named Vega in the Japanese version, was given the M. Bison name, the talon-wielding Spanish warrior, named Balrog in the Japanese version, was renamed Vega, and the boxer became Balrog.)

Was never a fan of Vega/Balrog/Claw, and have hated him ever since the days of SFII. Character was never my style and the flashy flamboyant nature they gave to the psychopathic killer just grained on me as the series continued. However, in less then 15 minutes you made me care for him, feel sad for him, and then despise him again. Bravo, this is fucking fantastic work.

[@Jugdjay]

I just noticed Vega's mom was reading The Lords of the Rings to Vega xD She's reading the part when Gandalf is fighting the Balrog!

[@onedaxster]

It's meant to be a reason for why, in the Street Fighter story line, he hates Balrog(Boxer) so much.

[@JacOfAllTrades.]

Another reason is because of the snake tattoo across Claw's chest since apparently the actual Balrog looks a little bit like a snake. Another reason behind why Claw and Boxer hate each other is a Matador/Bull relationship, with the boxer as the Bull

[@glarryg2318]

Vega was called Balrog in the original Japanese version of SF2. Bison was Vega, and Balrog was M. Bison (a play on Mike Tyson).

[@thefanwithoutaface8105]

that makes even more sense since Balrog is often associated with Buffalos which are basically just a different version of bulls.

[@Ninjaananas]

The Fan Without a Face That would fit more his original name M. Bison.

[@GabrielCoutoArt]

the ending was incredible, it subtly showed that Vega only uses his trauma as an excuse for his crimes and evil. The priest talks about what Vega's mother would think of all this and Vega gets angry and kills him, as he couldn't accept the truth, the true reason for his actions, with Bison appearing at the end and him throwing the rose, it would be him accepting his true reason for being what he is. It's incredible how these small Street Fighter productions can be so much better than a Hollywood film

[@Kitsune-dono]

A nice detail is that the adult Vega speaks in Catalan, and the mother sometimes speaks it briefly too, This is probably her primary lenguage and Vega kept it as his as well, I don't know if it was the film makers idea or maybe the cast, but in my opinion this simple thing added a lot to the story and shows a real commitment from the people behind the film. I really hope there's more to come, and that it hopefully won't take another two+ years until they can do it.

When I was young, my SF favorites were Guile, Nash, Ryu, Ken, both storyline and skills-wise. But growing older and binge watching these SF canon based short films and flicks, I already went beyond Sonic Booms, Fireballs, military missions, revenge and proving greatness. Through the years I have grown to appreciate Vega and Feilong for their swift, natural fighting skills and deep storylines: Vega's tragic backstory as depicted here, and Feilong's character, background, skills and philosophy which were patterned after the late Bruce Lee.

But the combination of his fractured mind and training in the ninja arts led him to become...... A nobleman by day, and a mask-wearing, claw wielding, serial killing, psychopath by night. Until he gained Bison's attention who eventually recruited him and used him as a hired killer. And he's been with Shadoloo ever since. 💀 💀 💀

Very easily without a doubt the BEST short film I have seen to this day and of all time. I have literally watched this at least like ten times or so all up and no matter how many times I see this, This is still just as poetic and deep as it was the very first time I saw this because watching this has literally made me realize just how much more there is to the character because you think that Vega is just so narcissistic and self-loving just because he's full of himself when in reality, He still just that lost little boy from all those years ago and in many ways can be seen as a form of PTSD on why he see's beauty as 'Heroism and Strength' and 'Ugliness' as not only repulsive but as a 'threat'. When they created this, They created more than a story, They created a life that we all lived and witnessed with our own two eyes. So in closing, I got to say that this short film is completely and totally.. A thing of beauty.

As a spaniard i have to appreciate the value added by spanish characters speaking actual spanish castellano and catalan, and not some sort of unreal mix between all possible spanish accents and vocabularys, like big american productions do most of the time... I guess it is because most of the time the target audience is not spanish speaking and doesnt care at all, but for spanish speakers it is like engurish or worse My only grudge is that little Vega has a latino accent... Oh well, maybe he got it from his stepfather :P

[@hombresalvadoamerica]

you are latino . sí no lo aceptas es porque eres ignorante, el idioma castellano que es un idioma español derivó del latín por lo tanto vos que lo hablás sos latino. En lo que estoy de acuerdo es que lo de los acentos en una obra bien realizada debe de tener sentido y apegarse a la realidad. Ojalá que algún día dejes de ser envidioso y no te fijes en el color de la piel de la gente esto te lo digo porque creés que el padrastro de Vega es latinoamericano evidentemente solo por su color de piel ya que por su acento yo digo que es español. España está cambiando, Estados Unidos está cambiando, el mundo está cambiando. Paz sin importar el idioma ni la bandera. Be more human.

[@Hermentotip]

Señor mío, hoy en día la palabra 'latino' se usa generalmente en el castellano para referirse a algo de origen latino-americano. Y no solo en castellano, sino en muchos otros idiomas, principalmente el inglés, idioma que se habrá percatado que yo estaba utilizando en el post original. No pretendia hacer ninguna connotación racial, simplemente señalar que no tiene sentido alguno que tanto el pequeño Vega como su padre hablen con acento latino-americano cuando se supone que son españoles, de Cataluña además. Sin embargo, su obstinación en resaltar innecesariamente temas de indole racial y desigualdad cuando nadie está hablando de ellos, así como sus descalificaciones e insultos, dicen muy poco sobre su nivel de cultura y educación general.

[@leonardoflorentin]

+Hermentotip jajaja eso es mentira, estas haciendo exactamente lo mismo de lo que culpas a los yankees, latino como unico e inequivoco deberian ser los italianos y directos descendientes de los romanos, los que usan la palabra latino como una generalisacion son precisamente los yankees y si mal no me equivoco tambien españa entra dentro de esa categorizacion para los yankees.

[@alvarof8095]

El acento del padrastro no es español europeo, eso te lo digo ya

[@Hermentotip]

+Kuroi Totalmente de acuerdo y correctísimo. Pero realmente hoy en el día a día, al menos en Madrid, España, y en realidad con básicamente todo el mundo con el que he trabajado tanto europeos como angloparlantes de nacimiento, rara vez usamos la palabra 'latino' para referirnos a alguien cuya lengua materna viene del latín. Hoy día se usa mas como abreviatura de la palabra 'latinoamericano', y guste o no guste es así :(

[@HalloWitch93]

This, Assassin's Fist, and Balrog: Behind the Glory go to show that live-action adaptations of Street Fighter CAN work, and work well. I think the whole problem with the last two Hollywood adaptations is that the directors really just wanted to make completely different movies, and just slapped loose adaptations of the video game characters into their scripts with little regard for the source material. But live-action Street Fighter CAN be amazing! And it's such a blessing to have not one, not two, but three examples to show us how it can and should be done.

[@KEN-1991]

Actually, making a live-action movie based on Street Fighter has not been easy, that's why Assassin's Fist Season 2 didn't get off the ground. Putting a complete star-cast as the World Warriors in the movie takes as big of a budget as a Marvel, DC, or Star Wars movie. Because half of the cast involves realistic CGI instead of actors; namely Blanka, Zangief, Dhalsim, T. Hawk, Sagat, Akuma, and Chun-Li's legs. Due to them being freakish in appearance and anatomy, with physically impossible moves.

[@elflordyt6830]

“My hands still have your blood on them!” I think Vega might be referring to his “father” in street fighter 2.

[@Darkman9478]

So Vega was a young boy, who witnessed the murder of his mother by his step-father, who both fell out the window. He takes his set of claws and kills him, avenging her death. But then eventually along the line, he gets too deep in with the killings and all, and felt that for exposing him and his mother to the step-father, he feels that the priest has to pay the price for it, thus killing him. And that's all what led him to that life of crime. But for him to go through such a agonizing moment for his mother to be savagely beaten, strangled, and then killed by his step-father, I feel really bad for him.

Yes. I've wanted to see this movie made since seeing that Balrog film. This was great. It really puts Vega's tragic past in a more public light. Very nice job. Although it's clear they used some creative liberty about his biological father and that priest stuff, it had a nice presentation to it. The origin of the flourish on Vega's mask stemming from his mother's scar isn't canon, but it's still a nice detail they created. The death of his mother, however, seemed more accidental in this case. Not like the story goes. I'll have to read up on Vega's bio in some Street Fighter encyclopedia, as his background in the Street Fighter Wiki isn't as well sourced as I'd like to keep it. Tenouttaten.

In rewatching this... ...nice touch with the marking on Vega's mask resembling the scar his mother received on her face. And I still say you guys are goddamn amazing with these short films. Both of them still hold up!

[@elucidator1277]

+ThomasMink fuck, I didn't even notice the scar thing till you brought it up. :O

[@TheCancerkilla]

Beautiful Stuff, makes Vega a a sympathetic figure of sorts. Reminds me a little of O-ren's origin in Kill Bill.

[@Malicos]

I give this the "Dónde está el baño" seal of approval!

[@TheRegalRolston]

I can't believe you guys still pulled this off I've been waiting for this since day 1 and I'm not disappointed!

[@kuroshinko427]

Man, this is so good! I wish Hollywood could make a good video game movie like this.

[@MatthewTheWolf2029]

How fitting to hear Vega speak Spanish, considering he's from Spain. Though, one thing I can imagine him saying when he kills the priest is "¡Muérete, viejo!" (Die, you old man!) Still though, this is excellent solid work.

[@ConanVictor]

My english is not good enough to translate all praise I have to the creators of this beautiful work. This should be made into a full lenght movie. Fantastico, Maravilloso!

[@emanuelloarca]

gracias!

[@SpikedYum]

Amazing. I think Vega would make such an interesting movie character all on his own.

[@MrWweytnafan]

Yeah maybe known what he did after kill his stepfather, i bet he live with the matadors and somehow travel to Japan and train ninjutsu to be a better killer mixin 2 cultures and then making parties at his mansion having also entertaiment for the ladies and blood lovers

[@niapor]

MrWweytnafan was taken under the wing of Bison(Vega in japan) and made into a ruthless assassin

[@MrWweytnafan]

Yep

[@myatthureinoo3484]

One of the best short films i've ever seen

[@mOviEmAkEr267676]

This awesome short film deserves more visits!!!

[@jblasutavario9549]

M.Bison : "You are beautiful..." 🌹

[@thecarolinabull01]

Best film I've seen in a long time. I wish they would make a full live-action Vega film like this.

[@gcjproductions6789]

I was worried that ChubbyBoy Films was not going to do another video but I am very pleased that you all did. Hopefully a big studio will pick you up and/or give you substantial funding to do more of these projects. Good luck and keep up the great work!

[@jackrappen1598]

Next is Sagat. soon.

[@mars5914]

Jack Rappen How do you know? All traces of chubbyboyflims beside the channel is dead

[@apollolux]

I’m shocked it took me this long to see this video for the first time even though I saw the Balrog/Boxer one years ago. Groovy stuff, Brett!

[@jasonwakkure2537]

I wish that they would make a full length movie about Vega. This short film is definitely one of the best renditions ever been done. I am really impressed with the style and the characters plus the music was purely magnificent.

[@flclmuffin]

Amazing!! This is such a treat for a Vega fan like myself. Thank you so much! Simply beautiful.

[@starblade8719]

Yes! They made the headcanon backstory for Vega secondary canon! I loved that backstory,, and her calling him ugly confirmed it! Yes! Even without that this is an amazing standalone story!

[@Tiki_Esquizofrenico]

9 years and still being a masterpiece

[@DrGnockerz]

This was amazing, this is how you do video games justice in film!

[@scottn322]

Very, very awesome, all the way through. It felt as though they were in Mexico, not Spain, but honestly? That's a minor complaint when you stack it up to how well acted, scripted, and edited the entire thing was. Fantastic.

[@StarBucks718]

So Ken is a celebrated world champion fighter, who has money, has a wife (while he flirts with other women), a son, and is loved by his country Meanwhile Vega is a misunderstood orphan (who we can assume was homeless and poor at this point )who is feared in his own homeland, seen his mother's death; avenged his mother by killing a man AS A CHILD, and uses a weapon handed down from his father's legacy. Who's the Villain here?

[@blucifer000]

..Vega?

[@Mugen123456789]

the narcissist with an obsession of blood and his own "beauty"

[@MrTatsubei]

....still Vega lol

[@TheAlmightyVox]

Literally nothing you said about Ken would ever paint him as a villain at all. Vega's a narcissistic serial killer who works for a crime syndicate bent on world domination.

[@SpikedYum]

Hmm, Ken who has a family but harmlessly flirts a little and is a champion that has money. Or Vega, someone who turned psychopath due to his childhood but a psychopath that kills people regardless... If you really think Ken is a villain compared to Vega then wow. Having a harsh background does not exempt you from your actions.

[@jasonwakkure7769]

Finally they do a film on Vega that does him Justice. Too bad that they don't do a full movie like this. I really enjoyed watching this short film on Vega. One of the best games to movie I have ever seen.

[@notoriousquinnb]

Simply incredible! Another amazing short film.

[@MLstroke]

Eres hermoso, matador.

[@memudiii]

What a movie man. Make more of these.

[@jasonwakkure5239]

Awesome work and a great picture on my favorite character from Street Fighter 2! Nicely done!

[@PromodZeus]

Vega! one of my all time favorite SF2 characters i like how he goes by the Predators rules.. awesome short film , ok translation but the words are way more powerful in Spanish its almost lost in translation would love to see something like this happen in a full length feature film , Hollywood needs to pick up their game

[@TheMramon81]

My favorite character, He probably the most overpowered one, once you master his moves.

[@Noradne]

This is amazing! Very well done. Was a joy to watch.

[@aaronbrummet1272]

This is really fantastic. I would absolutely trust the rest of the Street Fighter characters in your hands.

[@1984Kakarot]

I love to speak Catalan, the official language of Catalonia and Barcelona. Great Job.
