Street Fighter Ending and Post-Credits Scene Explained (Spoilers)
Spoiler warning: this section reveals the ending.
In the climax Ryu fights Akuma. M. Bison escapes, taking the unconscious Akuma with him as his prisoner. Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Dan, Guile and Dhalsim then set out after Bison, and the film ends on a cliffhanger.
There is a post-credits scene. It shows Sagat, the fighter Ryu beat in the opening, with Bison and his allies visiting him. It is animated and has no dialogue, and reviewers read it as a setup for a sequel in which Bison recruits Sagat. Stay in your seat after the credits if you want to see it.
Will There Be a Street Fighter 2?
A sequel has not been officially confirmed. The cliffhanger ending and the post-credits scene with Sagat set one up, and whether it happens will depend on how the film performs. We will update this section if Paramount or Legendary announces a follow-up.
