PlotIn the bustling streets of Bangkok, Chun-Li grows up as a piano prodigy, living a life of privilege and comfort. However, tragedy strikes when her father, a well-respected businessman, is kidnapped by the powerful crime syndicate Shadowlaw, led by the ruthless Bison. The disappearance of her father marks the end of her idyllic life, propelling Chun-Li into a quest for vengeance. As she matures, she abandons her musical aspirations, dedicating her life to mastering martial arts in order to track down Bison and dismantle his criminal empire. Driven by the memory of her father, Chun-Li's search leads her to encounter new allies and adversaries, pulling her deeper into the world of underground fighting and organized crime.
During her journey, Chun-Li crosses paths with Gen, a mysterious martial arts master who recognizes her potential and offers to train her. Under Gen's tutelage, she sharpens her skills and learns about the inner workings of Shadowlaw. Meanwhile, her pursuit of Bison draws the attention of Interpol and the Bangkok Police Department, including Detective Maya Sunee, who are also determined to take down Bison and his underlings. As Chun-Li delves into the criminal underworld, she uncovers hidden truths about her family and realizes that her battle against Bison is not only about personal revenge but also a fight for justice. The intertwined fates of Chun-Li, Bison, and the law enforcement agencies set the stage for a confrontation that threatens to change the power dynamics of the city's criminal world.
