The defeat and subsequent disappearance of the Mad Gear gang has led to utter chaos in Metro City. A new uprising of vandalism, terrorism and death has spawned from the remains of Mad Gear. This small group, known only as Skull Cross, has quickly grown and claims responsibility for the constant looting, arson and armed robbery. The government of Metro City is at a complete loss.

Yet Metro City’s mayor, Mike Haggar, has hope for a new future. Guy has returned to Metro City after several months of training and is ready to put his new skills to use. And it looks as if he will get his chance!

An explosion rings through the streets right outside the government building. Before either can react, the door bursts open, revealing Lucia, Cody’s old friend, in a state of shock. “We have to do something!” she shouts. “Metro City is under attack! Skull Cross is loose, and if we don’t do something, they’re gonna rip Metro City apart!”

“I’m on it,” Guy replies. “Let’s go, Haggar!” But before any of them can move, a mysterious man appears in the doorway. He is tall and muscular, with an aura of confidence surrounding him. “I can help,” he says. “My name is Dean. I know the Skull Cross inside and out, and I hate them more than anything. I can help you, and you can help me. We must go!” All four fighters vow to bring Skull Cross down. It will be a tough assignment and may even be the final fight of all!

The streets are dangerous! Take on any member of Skull Cross that stands between you and your goal. Remember to grab some food to revitalize your strength, or you may find yourself face down in those dangerous streets!
