Top 20 Street Fighter Characters of All Time

There are many World Warriors to choose from, but only 20 can make our list of favorites.

14. Dhalsim (Street Fighter II)

Dhalsim is a warrior from India who enters the Street Fighter tournament to raise money for his local village. What he lacks in speed, he more than makes up for with range. He's able to stretch his arms and legs at least halfway across the screen. He also has the ability to not only levitate, but teleport. His fire breath is deadly, and he gives what looks like the most painful noogie in fighting game history. "Yoga, yoga, yoga!"

Ken made his debut in street fighre 1, so whoever did this countdown probably didnt do enough reserch and probably only picked this on his own judgement. The top 4 should have been, 4.CHUN-LI, 3.AKUMA, 2.KEN, 1..RYU. Simply cause Ryu as well as Ken has been in almost every street figther bassed game around they are the original characters. This is like putting Darth Vader last in a best star wars villians countdown. Not good

Are u serious? How do u pick Chun-Li over Ryu and Ken? And how does Guile end up at 10? Guile, Ken, and Ryu should've been the top 3. This countdown sucks big time.

Chun-Li over Ken and Ryu? ARE YOU MAD?!?!!? And then Blanka and Zangief over KEn? WTF? Dammit I need to stop reading these b/s articles, cause you guys are idiots. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS7hkwbKmBM Chun-Li over Ken. riiight.

I always picked Chun-Li first too! when i noticed that she wasn't in this, i thought you guys were going to be bias and pick ur Ryu or Ken first. ut i see now that Chun-Li is the ultimate Street Fighter.

Chun-li is my favorite too, she belongs there.

M. Bison here = Vega there Vega here = Balrog there Balrog here = M. Bison there The name switch was to avoid lawsuits because Capcom purposefully Named the boxer M. Bison to make gamers think Mike Tyson in Japan.

Ok, I know alot of people think chun li shouldn't be 1 but I seriously used to beat the world with her when I played street fighter II Not only that but she's also really good in marvel vs capcom 1 and 2. I play with sakura sometimes on streetfighter vs xmen and I do like her character and seriously wonder whats up with Ryu not training her. I guess im a guy that likes to play with girl characters, but its usually because they are more quick and nimble then some of the other characters.

Im sorry but wasn't M.Bison original Balrog in Japan, and they switched hear in America because M.Bison being a boxer sounded too much like Mike tyson, at least thats what I remember and wikipedia also has it that way. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balrog_%28Street_Fighter%29
