Battle! Sub-Zero vs. Ryu

Arena: Lost Warehouse - A poorly lit warehouse, approximately half the size of a football field. Wooden crates stacked at random heights, narrow steel catwalks hanging from the 30 foot ceiling, no exits.

In the Red Corner, armed with an assortment of ice-based attacks, superhuman speed and durability, and a bevy of horrifying ways to mutilate his opponent's battered corpse! The arctic ninja, the freezing avenger, from Mortal Kombat: Sub-Zero!!!

And in the Blue Corner, equipped with his trademark Fireballs, his devastating Dragon Punch and a whole bunch of other ridiculously Japanese-sounding attacks! The master martial artist, the wandering warrior, from Street Fighter 2: Ryu!!!

The lights in the Lost Warehouse flicker hesitantly. Both of our combatants enter from opposite sides, and the bulbs begin to glow, straining as though a massive current has suddenly surged through them. The two opponents stare at each other from opposite ends of a long stretch between the piles of storgage crates stacked on either side. Both simultaneously raise their hands to chest level, Ryu drawing in a ball of pulsating light, and Sub-Zero forming an orb of pure, freezing wrath. Just as the two can no longer contain the energy they have harnessed, they fire upon each other and the battle begins...
