Can i use Street Fighter movies to promote my music?

Hi

I've just composed and recorded an original piece of music based very much on the Street Fighter franchise's music. The copyright and royalties (if any) belong to me as things stand.

I would like to create a video from the various opening movies from the games but the single will likely go on sale at my website and other places. So, would i be subject to copyright laws from Capcom if i use more than 15 seconds of film - particularily if i'm using it to promote sales? Is there any way around this?

Update:

Update:

Thanks darrin b. What about if i used footage of this along with other games under Fair Use?

    No.

    You can't use other people's intellectual property without paying for it.

    Yes you would violate Capcom's copyright if you did that.
