The Superstar of Muay Thai is the ninth episode of the first season of Street Fighter II V. The episode follows the journey of Ryu and Ken as they head to Malaysia, where they hope to train under a renowned Muay Thai fighter named Senoh.
Upon arriving in Malaysia, Ryu and Ken are greeted by Senoh's daughter, Sayaka. Sayaka informs them that Senoh is no longer the fighter he once was, having sustained injuries that have left him unable to fight. However, she suggests that they may still be able to learn from him by watching old recordings of his fights.
While watching the tapes, Ryu and Ken discover that Senoh was once a great fighter. His signature move, a lightning-fast elbow strike, had earned him the nickname "The Superstar of Muay Thai." As they continue to watch the tapes, Ryu and Ken begin to pick up on some of Senoh's techniques. In particular, they become fixated on his elbow strike.
Determined to learn the technique for themselves, Ryu and Ken decide to sneak into the gym where Senoh used to train. There, they come face to face with a group of local fighters who are also trying to learn Senoh's techniques. A brawl ensues, and Ryu and Ken are forced to fight the other fighters.
During the fight, Ryu and Ken begin to apply some of the techniques they learned from watching Senoh's tapes. However, they quickly realize that they are no match for the other fighters, who are all more experienced in Muay Thai than they are.
Realizing that they need more training, Ryu and Ken return to Senoh's house, where they convince him to teach them the techniques he used to defeat his opponents. With Senoh's help, they train hard, day and night, until they are ready to face the other fighters again.
In the final showdown, Ryu and Ken are able to hold their own against the other fighters. With their new techniques, they are able to land a series of devastating strikes that leave their opponents reeling. In the end, Ryu and Ken emerge victorious, impressing Senoh with their newfound skills.
The Superstar of Muay Thai is a thrilling episode that showcases Ryu and Ken's determination to become the best fighters they can be. It also underscores the importance of hard work, dedication, and proper training in achieving one's goals.
