The player assumes the role of a monitor cyborg that has been secretly developed by Shadaloo. The Cyborg must develop its combat capabilities by analyzing the fighting techniques of the best martial artists around the world in order to gain enough strength to challenge Ryu. For example, if a scene is shown where a character performs a kick, taking a picture of the character's kick increases the Cyborg's kicking ability. The Cyborg's capabilities are divided into six different categories: Punch, Kick, Throw, Special Attack, Defense, and Speed. Since the player can only take a certain amount of pictures per scene (shown as a red number in the bottom-left of the screen), the player must choose which categories to prioritize.

This match consists of only a single round, and the player has one attempt to defeat Ryu. There are three different endings depending on whether the Cyborg loses to Ryu, defeats him, or defeats him without taking damage.
