Street Fighter II: V

Ryu receives an unexpected letter from his best friend Ken Masters, inviting him to America. Ryu decides to accept and meets in San Francisco with his old friend. After catching up, they go to a pub, where they find and easily beat up some military thugs. Afterward, the leader of the thugs, Sergeant Guile, enters the bar.

Guile and Ryu fight each other, though it is obvious Guile has the upper hand. The sergeant easily overpowers Ryu, and then leaves the bar with his men, telling Ryu that he has guts. Ken takes Ryu home, then fights Guile at the Air Force Base in San Francisco, badly losing as well. This double defeat motivates the two boys to travel to Hong Kong in hopes of improving their fighting skills.

Ryu and Ken convince their young tour guide, Chun Li, to follow them to the Devil's Battle Cage in Kowloon Palace. Once there, Ryu enters the illegal martial arts tournament, easily defeating all his rivals, much to the chagrin of the Palace's boss, who orders to kill them on sight.

Ryu, Ken, and Chun Li fight their way out of Kowloon Palace, defeating all the foes they encounter. They almost get out of the infamous area, when boss Lean unleashes his two henchmen, Sodom and Gomorrah, to stop them from escaping. Ryu and Ken defeat them, only to find Lean has Chun Li held hostage. Chun Li's father Dorai, who is a policeman, shoots Lean in the hand just as he is about to fire at Ryu and Ken. All of them safely return to the boy's hotel, where Chun Li says she will take them to go see the martial arts master-turned-actor Fei Long next morning.

Ryu, Ken, and Chun Li visit Fei Long, who is filming a movie. The young actor picks Ken as a sparring partner for his next action scene, stating that "fights have to be real". Fei Long and Ken engage in a hard battle all over the set, only to be stopped by the film director when Ken hits Fei Long in the face, worrying about the actor's wellbeing.

Ryu, Ken, and Chun Li go shopping at a shopping mall. Once there, Ryu meets a strange old man who seems to be about to die. The old man insists on the boy taking him somewhere private, where he could use his ki to get his health back. Fascinated, Ryu follows the old man who teaches him about Master Daruma and his Hadou technique.
