And of course a worst list is needed to balance things out, let me know if there are other fighting franchises you would like me to cover.
Dishonorable Mentions
Balrog: A boxing character that looks like Mike Tyson, whoop di doo. At least Dudley had class, Balrog is just lazy.
Twelve: It's stupidly difficult to use but thankfully so forgetful that it doesn't matter.
Deejay: Forgettable that's it really.
Sean: Ken picked the most obnoxious kid to be his successor, I'd have thought you'd have more standards Capcom.
Sakura: I don't hate her enough to be on this list but I still don't like her.
Street Fighter Ex Characters are not included because they are simply bland and nothing else the others I have legitimate criticisms for.
10. Birdie and Abigail
Very ugly design for what was Britain's first Street Fighter, I feel a little insulted by this, and a name like Birdie is just stupid. Sadly Canada got it just as bad as their fighter is an 8ft tall behemoth who makes brum brum noises.
9. Adon
A poor screechy version of Sagat, he's an insult to the Muay Thai giant's art.
8. Decapre
I expected better of Street Fighter when they started introducing new characters for the fourth installment's Ultra expansion and all we got was a clone of Cammy, but ranked lower for at least having a unique fighting style.
7. Seth
Cheap boss is cheap, cheap boss broke my controllers along with many others, cheap boss nearly ruined the franchise.
6. Abel
I am a man with amnesia, who am I? What do I have to do with Shadoloo? Who the **** cares? Abel is boring and not worth the paper he's written on, pity as his fighting style is creative.
5. Remy
Remy is an emo that has no connection to any story whatsoever, seriously who thought it was a good idea to have this character in the story, he is useless, he doesn't even play well and it makes no sense for him to even be French, he's like a bad Street Fighter Ex character.
4. F.A.N.G
He looks stupid, granted all the Street Fighter 5 characters look strange, I think after Hakan the franchise took a turn for the strange and F.A.N.G is the worst of the batch.
3. Ryu
For one of the most iconic fighters in all video games, Ryu is boring, a never ending path of strength while fighting the urge to succumb to a growing urge to kill everything in sight doesn't make for an exciting character yet he's in everything including Smash Brothers where he sticks out like a sore thumb. I rate Street Fighter's characters for having charm but the lead character is crap.
2. Rainbow Mika
I feel she was created to satisfy a fetish and not the best kind either, Rainbow Mika is uncomfortable to watch and doesn't even play well as a fighter, yet she was chosen to come back to the franchise for the new game, a decision no one asked for.
1. Rufus
If Rainbow Mika was uncomfortable, Rufus is nauseating. A fat man with jiggle physics with an outfit more revealing than it should be and a personality that's jerkass at best annoying at worst, he doesn't really need to exist in the story and there are plenty of more capable candidates to be Ken's rival.
