Kyo Kusanagi vs Dead or Alive 4
The third (and final) SNK participant is none other than Kyo Kusanagi.
With his nemesis Iori Yagami in traction for the next couple of months (he picked a fight with Sagat and was Tiger Genocide-ed into a hospital bed), Kyo can finally have some breathing room.
Kyo hears that Ryu is competing in the DOA 4 Tournament and decides to compete in order to get his much-anticipated rematch against his Capcom rival.
However, where we last left our resident Ansatsuken master he was at his home, still in the horse stance, benchpressing a massive tree trunk over his head while Chun Li, clad in a bikini, is smacking his legs with a bamboo stick, and Ken sitting on the aforementioned trunk, reading a novel.
In other words, Kyo has found the wrong Ryu...again.
Kyo then decides to make the best of it upon finding out that the Ryu in question is the Hayabusa ninja, and not the Ansatsuken fighter. And after winning the King of Fighters tournaments numerous times in a row, he is ready for some fresh competition.
