Ryu and M. Bison stand before each other on the upper deck of the base. The evil dictator chuckles as he generates Psycho Power around him for the final showdown. He tells Ryu that he anticipated on confronting him during the calamity. M. Bison is also aware that his opponent defeated another with his newfound power and demands him to put it on display. Ryu gazes at his hand and tells the evil dictator that this power is for self-improvement, rather than for defeating an opponent. Regardless, M. Bison claims that the desire for power eventually leads to the ultimate confrontation between the two of them. Ryu then gets in his stance and prepares for the fight of his life.
