William Guile organizes a team of martial artists to take on a criminal who's stolen a dangerous biological virus.
Transcript
00:00One of the greatest martial artists in the world travels the global tournament circuit,
00:07using it to conceal his top-secret mission as leader of an elite group of international crime fighters,
00:14known only by their codename, Street Fighters.
00:18The heroic man-beast, Blanka.
00:22Hard-kicking fighting machine, Chun-Li.
00:31And the team of the most amazing warriors ever seen have joined forces with Guile
00:37to combat the criminal empire of Shadaloo and its superhuman leader, Bison.
00:43They have their own code of honor, discipline, justice, commitment,
00:48and together they will triumph against the forces of evil.
00:53Street Fighters
01:08Get out! Get out now before it's too late!
01:23Ah! Ah!
01:31The soul power has been disturbed. The fire grows closer.
01:36There can be no peace for me until I find an answer.
01:40I must know.
01:44The terror.
01:48The car's magic will show me the truth.
01:52The first is a fool. The second is a beast.
01:57And the third is doomed by fire.
02:02The fool, the beast, and the one who is doomed have increased the power of their chief,
02:06and in so doing have upset the balance of our universe.
02:10But for good or evil, a final card will tell.
02:17Death.
02:19No, the world will not die in flame.
02:23I have sworn to use my soul power to save it.
02:26I must find the three, be they fool, beast, or doomed by fate's fiery hand.
02:32And I must destroy them.
02:40Did you see something? He's the monster Ganon.
02:43I don't think so, but I don't want it anywhere near us again.
02:49No.
03:05You were two of my Inca brothers when you raided their treasure vault.
03:10For that, you die.
03:15No, Blanca, no.
03:17You came here seeking peace and serenity.
03:20Let us help you now. Help you control your anger.
03:25Let me go!
03:33Look deeply into the soul gem, Blanca.
03:37See how your rage distorts the righteousness that is at your core.
03:48You, the beast, you must come with me for the good of all mankind.
04:02Only you could get us in so much trouble, Ken.
04:04In Tokyo, one of the safest cities in the world.
04:07Hey, what do you mean, me?
04:09You were assigned to protect the girl too, Ryu.
04:12Protect her from you, it looks like.
04:14I should never have let you talk me into taking her out of the hotel.
04:17She wanted to go dancing.
04:26She's the key witness in a case with international repercussions.
04:30Well, how was I to know we'd run into the gang that was hired to eliminate her?
04:35Well, what's a gang really against the world's greatest warrior?
04:42The world's greatest warrior.
04:45I should never have called you that.
04:48Can I help it if you're perceptive?
04:50Uh, thank you?
04:52Hey, what are friends for?
04:54And, like a diamond, I'm a girl's best friend.
04:58Terry, forget Mr. Wet Blanket here.
05:01Is it too late for us to go to that club you told me about now, Kenny?
05:06Never too late, babe.
05:12A fool is far too dangerous to be free.
05:16Hey, hey!
05:19What's going on? Where am I?
05:23I gotta find a way to stop falling!
05:32Blanka! Hey, buddy, what's going on?
05:36I thought you were my friend.
05:39Why did you bring me here?
05:41Me? Hey, I didn't do anything.
05:44It was that purple babe.
05:47I ripped you to pieces.
05:52Perfect. Under my control, they'll destroy each other's evil.
05:57Thus does Rose fulfill her vow and save the world.
06:06Being a monster won't help you, Blanka.
06:11Call me monster? You fool.
06:15You'll pay for that!
06:22I hate being a monster, Ken.
06:25And I hate you.
06:28Hadouken!
06:31Now you die, monster!
06:36Finish him. For the good of the entire human race, you must destroy him.
06:42I... I can't.
06:46I fight, but not to kill.
06:51He is evil, as you are evil.
06:54No!
06:56He's my friend.
06:59Evil entities should not hesitate to cause harm.
07:03Have I misunderstood?
07:08My probe tells me they are not evil.
07:11I... I merely assumed.
07:17You... You forced us to fight, didn't you?
07:21With some sort of psychic force.
07:25No one changes me ever again!
07:29I'll destroy you!
07:32Silence!
07:33My name is Rose.
07:35I felt the balance of the chi shift toward evil.
07:38I learned your chi power had increased,
07:40and I believed that you two were the source of that evil.
07:44I sought to have you destroy each other, and thereby save the world, but...
07:49I was wrong.
07:51How could you think I'm evil?
07:54The discipline under which you trained is based upon the assassin's art, Ken Masters.
07:59Or did Gouken neglect to tell you this?
08:01No. My tradition produced Akuma, who is evil.
08:06I know that.
08:08But I'm okay.
08:09I see that now.
08:11It must then be the third man, the Man of Doom, who threatens the world.
08:15But so far I have been unable to determine who he may be.
08:26I'm not healing fast enough.
08:28I cannot be so vulnerable.
08:30I must bathe in Kali's mystic energy once again.
08:34According to the ancient texts,
08:36a man who tastes your power too often ceases to be your master and becomes your slave.
08:42But surely in those long-gone times, there was no man such as I.
08:48There's never been a man like you, love.
08:50But still, those warnings were written for a reason.
08:53Bison?
08:54They say no mortal can truly possess your power, Kali.
08:58But I shall.
09:06The fire! The fire begins again!
09:11KALI
09:26Where are we now, Rose?
09:29My home.
09:31The destruction and the soul power broke my concentration and returned us to the physical plane.
09:36With my psychic gifts, I am flooded by the thoughts and emotions of others nearby.
09:40Even your presence is disturbing to me.
09:43Lots of women find me disturbing to their peace of mind.
09:47Tell me what you meant before about the fire.
09:53Ever since I was young, I have had the gift of premonition,
09:57though it hasn't always seemed to be a gift.
10:00It wasn't until I met my teacher that I understood
10:02and accepted the responsibility imposed by this gift.
10:06I've devoted my life since then to defending the Earth against mystic threats
10:10which few men could fathom or even believe.
10:13Lately, I've been troubled more and more by dreams of the world ending in flame,
10:17dreams provoked by the imbalance of the Chi,
10:20dreams as real as that which we all just experienced.
10:24Are you willing to join me in a ritual?
10:26It is called the Rite of Revelation, and through it we may find the truth,
10:30even the truth we hide from ourselves.
10:33Sure, but I'm not hiding anything.
10:36There's no place to hide anything. You're too shallow.
10:41The time for conflict among ourselves is past, Blanca.
10:44From now on, we work together to save the world.
10:52They say no one controls Kali, yet you dance for me, my love,
10:57feeding me with power undreamt of by common men,
11:01the power to heal and the power to destroy.
11:05Bison, you have to stop. Kali's power is too much for even you to contain.
11:09Listen to me. I love you.
11:12Kali is the goddess of death, and the forces you're unleashing could destroy the planet.
11:17If the planet will not bow to me as its natural ruler, it deserves to die.
11:28Now we find the truth, the truth we try to hide.
11:41Look into my mind.
11:44I will show you the memory that spawns my fear.
11:50Look into my mind.
11:52I will show you the memory that spawns my fear.
12:01I was in the marketplace when I felt someone brush against me,
12:05a tall man in a blue cloak, or so I thought.
12:08But when I turned, I saw at first not a man, but a huge red flame.
12:13I knew evil had come, and I sensed that he too had the gift of soul power,
12:18only his soul was twisted.
12:20After that, I knew I must become Earth's defender
12:23against the misuse of the soul power's mystic force.
12:28Bison!
12:30This is why we've come together.
12:32We face a common foe. This Bison is the evil.
12:36Well, yeah. Any street fighter could have told you that.
12:40But all I knew was fire and dreams.
12:43Now the evil has a name. Now the evil can be destroyed.
12:47Uh, easier said than done there, Rose.
12:51Nobody knows where Bison's hiding.
12:53I can find him. Now that I know who it is I seek,
12:56I can make a mystic link to the fiery domain that is in his mind.
13:00And when I do, I can challenge him on the psychic plane,
13:04distract him so that you two can reach and attack his physical self.
13:08So long as he engages me, his physical form is vulnerable.
13:12Well, sounds like a plan.
13:14So, where do we find him?
13:16Rose? Rose?
13:19He is in a castle on a crag seven kilometers to the northwest.
13:26And the fire is burning. Now!
13:29Seven kilometers. We can't get there in time.
13:34For the fate of the world, you must try.
13:37His power is increasing with every moment.
13:43Every moment. If we are to stop him, it must be now.
13:48The fire. The fire!
13:52Oh, man. She's somewhere else altogether.
13:55Come on, Blanca. Let's go.
13:58I sense a challenger seeking to enter my psychic realm.
14:03Come forth. Reveal yourself.
14:06And witness the inner power of Bison.
14:10I am here.
14:12You! I knew at the very moment I saw you in the marketplace those long years ago
14:19that it was a mistake not to kill you.
14:22But I let you live because I felt an odd bond between us
14:27and sensed that you alone might understand the power I crave.
14:31Yes, Bison, I understand power.
14:34But I use it to protect mankind from monsters like you.
14:38Tell me your name, woman.
14:40Rose.
14:41What a beautiful name.
14:43On a tombstone.
14:46Bison!
14:48He's in the zone. Just like Rose said.
14:51Completely defenseless.
14:53My love is never defenseless. We are here to protect him.
14:58Dammit!
14:59What? No greeting for Zangief?
15:02Hmm. Bison's lackey. Not worth greeting.
15:07Step aside, traitor. Bison is ours.
15:11No. I'll defend my love to the death.
15:16I should have killed you before.
15:19This time, there'll be no mistake.
15:23You might have had your way with a young, inexperienced psychic.
15:26But now I am a master of soul power.
15:32Look, Cammy.
15:34I know you've fallen for Bison, but hey, that's okay.
15:37Babes are always falling for the wrong guy.
15:40Take it from me, I'm okay.
15:42You'll get over him. You just need to meet the right guy.
15:45Like, uh, me, for instance.
15:47You know, I've always liked you.
15:50I'm gonna waste you, Ken.
15:53Cannon drill!
15:56You almost brought the fire upon us, Bison.
15:58But the soul power led me here in time.
16:01Soul power? What is that compared to my psycho power?
16:05I'll show you. It is nothing.
16:10Zangief.
16:12Blanka never liked you.
16:16You're too late, Blanka. Don't you know that?
16:19Bison was too tough for you before.
16:22Now he's invincible.
16:27Then why would he let Blanka do this to you?
16:32Because Bison knows I take care of myself.
16:47Uh-oh.
16:51Blanka.
16:53My friend.
16:55Zangief-kun.
16:57Breathe.
16:59Did you think Blanka could breathe beneath the rubble?
17:03Did you?
17:05I began with a quest for healing.
17:08But now I have power beyond even my wildest dreams.
17:14My total victory over you, over the world, is but minutes away.
17:21I know, dream Bison.
17:24I know, dream Bison.
17:26But you do not know me.
17:31But you are beginning to learn.
17:33And you will learn that the limitless power of Kali is within me.
17:39The power of Kali. That is where you draw your strength.
17:42Ken. Blanka.
17:45His power comes from the Kali statue.
17:48You must destroy it.
17:51Uh, I'm a little busy here, Rose.
17:54Blanka, destroy the statue of Kali.
18:01Psycho Crusher!
18:03Blanka, you must heed me.
18:07You must overcome your rage.
18:10The fate of the entire world rests with you.
18:17Zangief take care of self real good.
18:20Zangief leave now.
18:42Rose!
18:43Once the statue of Kali was destroyed and the battle with Bison ended,
18:46I awoke in my home and came straight here.
18:50What about Bison and Kali?
18:54They both live.
18:56Bison's power, even without Kali, was sufficient to protect them,
18:59as mine protected you.
19:01But the battle is finished for now, and we were triumphant.
19:05Okay, but this all started with your tarot cards.
19:10Only, well, Blanka did control his rage,
19:14so he wasn't the beast.
19:17And we did all the right things at the right time,
19:20so no one was the fool.
19:23No one died, so...
19:25so no one was doomed.
19:27I have considered that.
19:29Was Bison all three?
19:31His mad quest for power makes him both a fool and a beast,
19:34and will ultimately lead to his doom.
19:36Could it be that I am all three?
19:39A fool for not knowing my true foe.
19:42A beast for bringing you into my battle against your wills.
19:46And doomed if I lose my ultimate battle with Bison.
19:49I must retire to contemplate these mysteries,
19:52secure in the knowledge that I am not the sole defender of the Earth.
19:56Thank you. You have given me new hope.
19:59Well, you can dream peacefully now.
20:01Don't worry.
20:03Next time Bison shows his ugly mug,
20:05he'll still have to face the Street Fighters.
20:09She's gone.
20:16She's gone.
20:46Ah!
