What is Street Fighter: The Movie console game?

Street Fighter: The Movie is a 1995 fighting game developed and published by Capcom for the PlayStation and Sega Saturn. It is based on the 1994 live-action film of the same name and uses digitized photographs of the film's cast as its character sprites. Despite sharing a title with the arcade game, the console version is a separate game, not a port of the arcade release.

How was Street Fighter: The Movie received by critics?

The game received mostly negative reviews. Critics cited excessive slowdown, poor digitization quality, control lag, long load times on PlayStation, and weak battle voices.
