Snafu the Great
Ayane has done the impossible.
She has finally killed Kasumi...or so she thinks.
The truth is that Kasumi is very much alive. Following a personal raid on a secret DOATEC facility, Kasumi found another clone of herself, dressed it in her uniform, and sent it after Ayane.
While Ayane fought the Kasumi clone, Kasumi, with Ryu's assistance, abandoned Japan for America for a peaceful life in exile.
It is only two weeks later that Hayate discovers the ruse (but not Ryu's part in Kasumi's escape) and reprimands Ayane for her screwup. Furious, Ayane is on the next plane for America. It's already too late. Kasumi is long gone. With a new name and a new life, she is nowhere to be seen.
Ayane's search takes her to Southtown. With nothing but dead ends for her, Ayane decides to vent out her frustrations on a martial arts school called the Kyokugenryu School, wrecking shop in a way that would make Ryuji Yamazaki proud.
Then the grandmaster shows up. One fist to the head knocks Ayane out of her rage. She finds herself looking into the furious face - make that mask - of Takuma Sakazaki, now in Mr. Karate Mode.
Sensing the raw power radiating from the masked man, Ayane prepares for the fight of her life.
Anything Goes.
