Street Fighter: How Can There Be an Ending Explained When There Is No Ending?

The article explains the new live-action Street Fighter film’s tournament and its animated mid-credits scene, while arguing that the story feels unfinished. The tournament is largely a distraction from M. Bison’s plan to capture Ryu and take his Hado Power, and several bouts are skipped or barely shown.

Ken defeats Balrog and Dhalsim, but does not appear in the final, while Joe is declared the tournament winner despite having no on-screen fight. Guile is said to lose to Vega, and Zangief disappears from the tournament without a shown fight or exit. The article also notes that Ryu is listed as withdrawing while held captive, with his opponent Joe advancing by forfeit.
