Synopsis
Escher informs Guile about the Millennial Comet, something which has an orbit so large it only passes by the Earth every thousand years. However NASA scientists have found out that the comet's orbit has somehow been altered, and is heading towards Earth. They've tracked the energy source to the Himalayas, and Guile's mission is to go there and destroy the source. Guile chooses Blanka to be on his team, and also has to go with Ken and Ryu, who happen to be in the area. Ken is in a rigged match that he decides to win, despite being paid not to. This angers Yo Fat, the guy Ken had made the arrangement with, but Guile saves him and Ryu, and the three head off to meet with Blanka. |
The Street Fighters head into the Himalayas, but Zangief sees them and detonates some charges, which causes an avalanche. Guile and Blanka survive, but Ken and Ryu can't be found. Guile blames himself, but Blanka tells him not to do that, as they later find a temple. Dhalsim then appears, who Blanka attacks, still angry at what he did to him. They eventually stop fighting and Guile tells Blanka they have to trust Dhalsim. Meanwhile, Ken and Ryu have survived, but have been captured and taken back to Bison's base. Bison explains that his plan is to use a machine called the cyclotron, which boosts his magnetic chi powers, to divert the comet and have it hit the defense headquarters in Norad. The crater will drop the western United States into the Pacific, which he owns most of the waterfront of. |
Zangief is sent out to find Guile and Blanka, and he finds the temple, but he and his men get beaten back. They retreat, so Guile, Blanka and Dhalsim follow them. Back at the base, Bison uses the cyclotron to make the final adjustment to the comet's orbit. Ken and Ryu, who had been left to be incinerated by the cyclotron's energy, manage to escape just in time. They help the others fight off Bison's men and enter the base. Dhalsim fights with Bison, but Bison blasts him back and then escapes. |
Guile convinces Dhalsim to use technology again and operate the cyclotron, whilst he uses it to knock the comet off course. They're able to do this, and the Earth is saved. Dhalsim tells the group that perhaps they will meet again, but tells them to go, as he will make sure the cyclotron can be never used again. The group head off, but later hear an explosion and see that Dhalsim has destroyed Bison's base. Guile says that's the end of Bison's cyclotron, and thinks they were lucky to have Dhalsim on their side. Blanka tells him maybe it wasn't luck, and maybe Dhalsim was right -the comet is a sign. The past can't be changed, but there's always hope for the future. |
-This episode is the first to feature Chun-Li as a news reporter, something she was in the live action movie. Given that she's also a Street Fighter, and also doing her own thing occasionally (as seen in "Getting to Guile" with El Fideo), she must be pretty busy. |
-The exterior shot of the diner shows it has two doors either side of the windows, but when Guile enters it, he enters through a single door which shouldn't be there, and the windows are missing. |
