(Talking to Bison now)

Ryu: What?!

Bison: Now it's your turn! Prepare to be seduced by my Psycho Power! I will reveal your dark nature!

Prologue
Ryu: Another international fighting tournament... And it looks like S.I.N. is behind this one. Can't shake the feeling that something sinister is happening behind the scenes. Hm... This all feels so familiar. I must be on my guard. Fighting always feels familiar to me. Like coming home. Probably because I've been doing it since I was a child. The fight is a form of communication. It can lead to understanding. It holds a meaning deeper than mere words. Looks like I'll be sparring with a lot of fighters this time. And I expect I'll meet some old friends again, as well. Interacting with these fighters will guide me further down the path of becoming the ultimate warrior!

Ending
Ryu: This place hasn't changed. In my travels, I fought many formidable opponents. I'm curious. Have I become stronger thanks to them? Hadoken!

(Ryu throws a Hadoken going across the waterfall and through the sky)

Ryu: Till next time.

Prologue
''The news of Pandora has reached Ryu, thanks to Chun-Li, as she tracks Shadaloo's movements. The reports of ordinary people displaying unimaginable power due to the influence of the box has Ryu worried.''

Ryu: "The box seems to have a power over people. It creeps in, and makes them lose all sense of self. Is it possible that Pandora's Box is connected to the Satsui no Hado...?"

''Ryu sets his sights on the antartic to discover the true nature of the box. Ken, worried about his friend, decides to accompany him.''

Ken: "Guess there's no reasoning with you on this one, huh? Okay. I suppose I might tag along for the ride."

Ryu: "Thanks Ken. I have a feeling I'm gonna need your help."

Rival Cutscene
Ken: "Woah, what are the chances, huh?"

Kazuya: "Apparently you haven't learned to stay out of my way."

Ken: "Come on, why do you have to be such a pain? So... what do you think we should about these two? Maybe we..."

Ryu: "Hmm? You say something, Ken?"

Ken: "No. Nothing, nevermind..."

Rival Quotes (Kazuya):

 * Ryu (match start): "You look like a worthy opponent."
 * Ryu (landing the first attack): "Fight me!"
 * Ryu (if KO with a Super Art): "Looks like you can't overcome the Satsui no Hado."

Boss Quotes (Ogre):

 * Ryu (match start): "I sense a power I never felt like before."
 * Ryu (first attack): "That's an Alien?!"
 * Ryu: "You sure are tough."
 * Ryu: (after KO): "I've fought such power."

Epilogue
''One day, the mysterious box had come from outer space suddenly disappeared. Along with it, a certain well-renowned fighter also dropped off the face of the earth. It was said that the power of Pandora was an evil magic that could corrupt even those with the most benevolent intentions of trying to save the world.''

''Did the man who was once tempted by the Satsui no Hado fall victim to its power? Or, did he sacrifice himself to rid the power of Pandora? The answer disappeared along with the box. With the exception of the fighter's disappearance, everything returned to normal. The current whereabouts of the world warrior is still a mystery...''

...At least, for now.
