| A stand alone
Street
Fighter 3 3rd Strike style story line
Basic Information
- ChunLi, is ChunLi the Interpol
agent
sent to retrive a little girl named Xiao-Xia ( Little Summer ). CL is
Ryu's
ex-lover. They broke up.
- Ryu is the eldest Shotoken
disciple of
his generation. The eternal challenger. Mr the-fight-is-all. The same
Ryu
who broke CL's heart as he broke up with her.
- At the start of the story we
have Gill
bringing down a satellite with fiery qi punch (wah...), Ken who went to
investigate the fallen satellite (leaving Eliza at the alter the 3rd
time
) and ended up fighting with Gouki
- While CL is ordered by her
superiors
to go rescue a girl of special powers named Xiao-Xia and if need be -
kill
her. As quite a lot of other fighters wants a piece of that
power.
- On the way her ship was boarded by
Remy.
And she was the only who is able to take him on. And so they fought.
But
after awhile Remy left instead
- While elsewhere. Ryu shows up at
Makoto's
dojo. Wanting to learn from her discipline. After taking on an
exhorbitant
amount of school fees and testing Ryu later. Makoto was shocked as Ryu
is interested in the more advance and dangerous arts which could lead a
person to lose his senses
- All Ryu saw at the backyard are
the
practioners (Maky's dad as well) of this advance art. All of them lost
in their own world. And because of Ryu some manner of mass
reaction
take place
- Flashback. Shotoken Dojo,
destroyed by
Gill. Ryu getting into a fight with Gill.which seems like he can't win.
He ends up instead seeing (in his head) his master who told him to go
to
Makoto's disicpline and study a bit so as to understand his own and the
Sastui no Hado better. Ryu unable to move after unleashing fireball
very
nearly loses his life if not for Gouki. End flashback
- Ryu affected by the mass reaction
of
those practioners ended in some communal mind dimension where he ends
up
fighting them. Would he be able to survive such an internal battle that
would also take its toll on his physical body which is taken away to be
offer to Gill
- Ryu being the fast learner he is,
not
only survives the training but helps the others out of their mind lock
in the process.
- Waking up he found himself in
another
fight. Ryu, Gouki and Ken against Gill. While Xiao-Xia's powers erupted
at that time
- The next battle ground will be
set at
the Shotoken Dojo.
- Triggers a flashback for Ryu which
include
Ryu's meeting with Ken, them meeting Gouki every now and then and Ken
explusion
from the dojo because of Gouki's accusations.
- A conversation with Gouken who
made
Ryu swore an oath to safe guard secret manuel. Telling him not to study
it until he learn to control his feelings and relationships (hint hint
)
- And him testing Sean's worthiness
making
him then guard the secret scroll. End flashback and move on to more
fights
as well as Ken demonstrating what would happen when he's not ready and
had studied the foirbidden art
- Where we now go back to CL. who
had managed
to capture Remy (torpedos vs Remy. Torpedo 1 Remy 0 ). CL manages to
convince
Remy to help her find Xiao-Xia. Q brought Yun and Yang to join the team
as well. And tells them where to go next.
- While Ryu had a fight with a
mildly
insane Ken led him to meet Oro in some underground chamber. Who told
his
history to Ryu and we have another fued due to old scores. Oro thinks
that
Ryu maybe useful in the battle to come.
- Everybody heads of the Shotoken
dojo
(Vega cameos). Xiao-Xia meets Ibuki and tells her to give something to
her only friend - CL and tell her to not go to the battle.
- Many more fights later. CL
meets Ibuki
who gave her Xiao-Xia's message. But she's still intent on
going.
- Everybody arrives. Ryu and CL
fights
each other for the wrong reasons. Giving him a very vicious greeting
(*snickers*)
- She never want to see him again
and
of all the places to run into him. And has he gone so low as to join
this
power struggle too? Didn't he say he had to depend on himself? Oh what
has the might Ryu come to? Not giving him a chance to explain his
piece.
Further saying that she's being training herself, so that she would be
stronger than he and kick his ass.
- And he say he wrong to leave her
like
that but he got his reasons. But she went and beat the heck out of him
now and all Ryu could do is defend. But then because Oro messed with
Ryu
qi. he now loses control and attacks CL for real!! Her team were no
match
for the insane Ryu and his target is of course CL.
- CL to save herself and stop
Ryu, slams
three needles into Ryu's head, dropping him there and then. Everybody
else
has to fight somebody else and CL is left to tend to the big lunk
Ryu
- Big fight, parent-child,
sensei-student
issues and more fights later. Big qi explosion and earthquake later
everybody
scatter leaving Ken and Gill to fight
- RCL had made it down the
mountain. CL
met up with Makoto. Maky and her dad wants to help Ryu but CL says she
has everything in control but before she could say anything else she
collaspe.
Makoto took RCL back to her dojo.
- CL wakes, Ryu's still down. CL
decides
to hang out for a while until she regains her energy. Makoto just had
to
ask whether CL is Ryu's girlfriend or something since she was calling
out
Ryu's name while she's resting.
- As for Ryu. dicovering that they
have
no other options of curing him. CL decides to remove the needles from
him.
Causing a power surge within Ryu and he goes around attacking
everybody.
- Makoto's dad managed to stop his
rampage.
Before Ryu lost consciousness again he manages to tell them to find
Oro.
- CL's flashback
- Five years ago. At a quiet little
pavillion
in the middle of nowhere. CL waits for Ryu. Happiliy she watches him
arrive.
But that grim look on his face brought bad news.
- Giving her the lame reason that
their
two schools of discipline cannot get along with each other. And so they
should break up!!. Dramatically it starts to rain.
- CL thinks that their relationship
is
a personal matter and it does not matter if their disciplines do not
get
along. What matters is that she and Ryu get along well.
- Saying that he being the eldest
disciple,
he had to follow his dicipline's wishes. CL should take it she had
never
seen/met/known him before. And walks away. CL screamed that she never
wants
to see old-fashion Ryu in this life time ever again.
- End flashback. At Makoto's
dojo, we have
CL lovingly tending to the comatose (finally its his turn) Ryu.
Thinking
to herself. Now that the Shotoken school does not exisit
anymore(everybody
else died). When he wakes up. Would the both of them ever have a chance
to starts anew again? (line in pic *sniffles*)
- And so after Makoto's question.
They
brought Ryu over to Gill. Knowing that Oro would liikely be
there
- Though Gill would not let them
see Oro.
he would do what he can for Ryu. Can CL afford not not trust him? But
is
Gill helping or killing Ryu as he nows suffers such intense pain under
Gill's help
- Other fights of Gouki, Ken and
Alex.
Gouki and Ken's backstory. Because of Ken's dying mom. Gouki sort of
promised
to adopt Ken. ( Which is why when Gouki died he refer to Ken as son ).
Alex came to Ken because of Eliza. Ken went and find Eliza.
- Ryu wakes, fights with Gill. Alex
joins
the dray. After that Alex wants Ryu to follow him. Ryu tells CL to stay
with the others and rushes of the find Alex
- Futureshock and a lot of other
fights
later we reached the issue 28 the last of this series
- We get the most peaceful ending of
all
Street Fighter series
- Ryu watches as Ken and family
reunites
and leave Ryu.
- CL came along. With just one look
from
Ryu made CL very happy that Ryu had finally put his burden down.
Stating
that its the end of his fighting days. Ryu walks off into sunset arm in
arm with CL to restart their relationship (RCL fans rejoice
)
- And so ends this book
And thank you for making it to
the bottom
of this page.
I call this the series with the most
peaceful
ending because this is the only series that ends without any of the
three
(Ryu, CL and Ken ) dying in any way. And the only series to have them
go
into retirement
Me? Although I'm the kind who
prefers
having RCL roaming the world. I don't mind this ending because they
handle
this well and make it a nice alternative ending. The guys at the
company
wrote this comic. Who am I to argue?
