Street Fighter is my second favourite 1 on 1 fighting game, after Tekken. When this game was launched, there were only 10 odd character, I somewhat remember playing this game on my NES when I was 8 or 9 years old.
With the passage of time, newer versions of this game came into the market with several new characters. Right now, there are more than 40 characters, and each of them is unique in their own fighting style.
Today, with this blog post, I am going to share with your my favourite Street Fighter characters.
#5 Dhalsim
He is not in my list because the game depicts him to be of Indian Origin but because his moves were really fantastic. Dhalsim plays with Fire, he blows it, throws fireballs and causes decent amount of damage to the opponents. Surprisingly, he can extend his arms & legs while punching and kicking. Though Dhalsim is not among the strongest characters in the game but his moves are definitely fun to play with.
#4 Guile
According to Street Fighter’s storyline, Guile is an American Soldier who has entered the fighting ring to take revenge of his dead military mate – Charlie who was killed by M. Bison. Guile is undoubtedly the best looking character in the game with perfectly shaped, heroic body and super cool hairstyle. Guile’s most deadly weapons are sonic boom & flash kick. The flash kick comes really handy when you’re fighting with a character that attacks from above, like Zangief.
#3 Chun-Li
Chun-Li was the first female character to descend 1 on 1 fighting games and what makes her even more attractive is that fact that her moves like Lightening Kick makes her better than several guy characters in the game. Chun-Li’s spinning bird kick and fireball are not as powerful as Ryu but when used properly, they do cause a lot of damage. Kicking some as* with Chun-Li’s powerful moves is very Pleasurable!
#2 Ryu
Ryu is the lead character of Street Fighter series, his dragon punches, powerful fireballs and hurricane kicks are stuff of legend. No Street Fighter game is complete without Ryu and his American partner Ken, every gamer knows that. Playing the game as Ryu is a pleasure because not only he is strong, he is also capable of winning in tight situations. It is the best character in Street Fighter series for many, but not for me because my favourite is…
#1 Ken
Even though Ken & Ryu share many of their moves Ken snatched the top spot because when it comes to face to face combats, he is the man. In my case, I have fought most of my battles as Ken and I am proud to say that I am an expert when it comes to playing as Ken. There are several reasons why I like Ken over Street Fighter’s Lead Character Ryu.
- Ken can attack fireballs faster than Ryu and his combos are stronger than his counterpart
- Ken’s blazing tornado and triple dragon punch are world’s most amazing finishing moves
- He is a champion and plays with Style
