Shadaloo and You
Genessia was in for several shocks. The first of these was when their favorite television programs were arrested in favor of something a little more...red. After the initial static, the image became clear as the inner workings of a tv studio appeared. Suddenly, an ovular, shadowy void appeared in the middle, followed by a bulky, cloaked figure emerging.
It was M. Bison.
"Greetings, worms! It is I, your future ruler and master, M. Bison. I hope you've enjoyed your holidays, for all that is about to end. For New Year's, I've resolved to usher in a new era of pain and suffering. To start with, I will show you the futility of your precious Guardians as they fail to save your city from destruction. Genessia city, to be precise. Channels 3-8 will allow all of you to see your fragile metropolis crumble before your eyes."
To elaborate, each of those channels showed the following:
3. Jack's Bar and Karaoke Club is looking both lively and dead. There's disco musing blaring in the background, but no one's dancing. In fact, all the patrons gaze at a large disco ball on the ceiling, held in a stupor. A muscular man with boxing gloves sits in a chair, grumbling. "Buncha stiffs. What good will brainwashing these punks do?"
4. A Korean woman with skimpy clothing, and a yin-yang symbol in her left eye is seen hunched on the ground, next to the hospital. She gets up to reveal that she has just finished planting C4 charges. With a wicked grin, she turns to the camera, and tosses a detonator up and down. "Come and get it, losers!"
5. The hum and whirr of machinery presents itself to your ears as you see a masked figure with a large claw attached to his arm. To the mechanically astute, they'll recognize it as the Genessia Power Plant. He walks lazily to a control panel, apparently a pretty important one. "How will these hideous wretches survive the cold without power? Feh. Let these ugly flowers wilt." With a gleam, he raises his claw, before cutting the feed.
6. This one's a split screen. On the left, one can see some citizens bound and gagged, next to a strange device they all look very afraid of. It's making a beeping noise. On the right, one gets a glimpse of the coliseum in Attleton. A very large man with an eyepatch has brutally smashed his knee in a would-be contestor. As he crumples to the ground, He turns to the camera. "Weak! Is this truly all your pathetic city has to offer! If you wish to unseat the king, you will have to do better than that!" Looking closer, you can see a device strapped to his chest similar to the one on the previous screen. Perhaps they're connected...
7. Rushing water can be heard as vats of an unknown chemical are moved to and fro by two women, wearing something between a jumpsuit and a sweater. By the dingy look of things, this must be the sewers. More specifically, the water treatment plant.
8. A normal looking suburb, aside from the fact that people are running and screaming. The source of their fear? A large, 2-ton freak with a humanoid form, raging and smashing without the barest trace of intellect or control.
Back to channel 2, Bison was there with an evil grin of his own. "Are you frightened, weaklings? You should be. For I present a nightmare without end. And for dessert, I challenge Captain Hammer himself to display his impotence in the face of this terror for all to see. Don't keep me waiting. Mwuh heh heh heh heh..."
OOC: It begins! In case you couldn't tell, here are the people and their matchups.
Channel 2: Bison & C. Hammer
Channel 3: Balrog & Yang
Channel 4: Juri & Open!
Channel 5: Vega & Blake
Channel 6: Cherise & Sagat
Channel 7: Juni & Juli, Ruby & Janos
Channel 8: Big, rampaging monster and open!
These aren't set in stone. If your characters wanna gang up on one of the Lords of Shadaloo, by all means! Know, however, that Bison may have to beef up security in kind. Okay it with the original people first, of course, in case they'd prefer a one-on-one. If you don't care for the people and just wanna go to town on some Shadaloo mooks, that works too.
With regards to winning and losing, it's up to you! We can play it out naturally, but I don't mind getting whooped, or succeeding and doing some heavy damage to Genessia's infrastructure.
When you're ready to step into the ring, comment with your characters in the appropriate section.

Linoleum peeled in thin curls beneath his boots as he skidded back a good two feet. His elbows locked, and the veins on his neck stood out as he gritted his teeth and focused his fierce, heroic gaze on Bison's enraged face. Muscles strained beneath his shirt as he pivoted the toe of his boot, and pushed back while taking one step forward. Then another. It would be a battle of wills--!
WHAM.
Or Hammer could just haul back and headbutt his opponent with a head that felt like it was made out of solid steel.
no subject
Bison was getting pretty mad too. How were these mens' bodies so invincible? Bison tucked away plans to get one, or have his scientists develop one, in his mental notebook before standing back on his knees. Gurgh! His hand went to his mouth as he coughed up blood. This could not be...!
Bison resolved to finish this quickly. Up he flew, and down he came again. "You'll be beaten, Captain Hammer. Every victory for me represents the crumbling of the justice you so cherish." If he could land this, he could connect into his favorite move, and his ultimate head stomp would no doubt finish the captain. With surprising speed, Bison slid on the floor towards CH, steel-toed boots aiming right for the shin. If that succeeded, then Bison would have him right where he wanted him.

He wasn't standing idly, though. As Bison powered forward, Captain Hammer pulled back his fist. The kick struck home, and then Hammer's fist plowed into an uppercut to Bison's face. He threw all his strength into it, pivoting his foot, twisting at the waist.
"Justice won't fall so easily to an overgrown cow like you," he crowed. "Time for you to go back to the farm!"
no subject
The best part was that, despite the violence, the tv cameras were relatively stable, and recording every second. Congratulations CH, it was all on tape. The sponsors would be banging down his doors.
no subject
And that was how Captain Hammer saved the day and got things done. There was a lot of property damage, but that sort of came with the line of work. There would be even more damage had Bison been allowed to run amok.
He glanced back at the cameras, raising a brow as he saw his face reflected on the screen, but before he could do anything further a reporter raced up to him, as if trying to lance him with a microphone.
"Captain Hammer! You've just defeated the evil M. Bison! Any words for the folks at home?"
He looked at the camera, then smiled, pointing at them.
"Your City Guardian is on the job. If you find yourself being terrorized by a psychotic martial artist? Call me."
The sponsors could come if they liked, but money was no issue for him. He was in it because he liked being a hero, and basked in the glory and appreciation of his fans. It also got him more dates, so there was that too.
