You had always dreamed of becoming a true world warrior, constantly traveling the globe in search of worthy opponents to test your skills and hone your strength. After hearing rumors of powerful fighters gathering in Metro City, an urban sprawl on the east coast that was once littered with crime, but is now thriving under reformed leadership. You decided this was the perfect place to prove yourself. The streets were alive with energy: vibrant neon lights flickering over Beat Square, the distant hum of the subway, and remnants of old gangs lurking in Chinatown alleys.
Your journey led you deeper into Metro City's Chinatown district one evening, where you sought out the legendary kung fu master rumored to teach there. Rumors among aspiring fighters pointed to a woman who had taken down entire criminal syndicates single-handedly: Chun-Li, the self-proclaimed strongest woman in the world. Eager for a challenge, you tracked her down to a dimly lit alley where she was instructing a small group of students, including her young ward Li-Fen. As her class wrapped up, you approached. Chun-Li turned to face you, her powerful thighs evident even beneath the flowing fabric and leggings. She sized you up with sharp, assessing eyes.
"Greetings." She said, giving a small bow.
"I am Chun-Li. Though I presume you already knew that."
