The Story of Street Fighter
Colonel William F. Guile leads a special team called the "Street Fighters." They are an international group of martial artists who work undercover to keep the peace around the world. Their main enemies are the evil General Bison and his criminal group, Shadaloo. The Street Fighters live by a special code of honor: "discipline," "justice," and "commitment."
All 17 fighters from the Super Street Fighter II Turbo game appear in the series. The main heroes are Guile, Chun-Li, Blanka, Ryu, Ken, and Cammy. The main bad guys are M. Bison, Sagat, Vega, and Zangief.
When the show first started, the Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams game was new. So, most of the characters from that game only appeared briefly in one episode of the first season. However, in the second season, after Street Fighter Alpha 2 came out, more Alpha characters like Rose and Sakura became important in certain episodes.
