58) Juni
First Game: Street Fighter Alpha 3

external image

external image

external image

external image

Her Story: She was one of Bison's Dolls along with Cammy and Juli. Bison had control over her mind and when Bison was beaten down and she went unconscious when trying to escape the Shadaloo base. Vega rescued her, stuff happened for a while until Juri beat her into a coma and she was revived by Cammy's cat.

My Thoughts: There's literally nothing to say about this chick. She is the member of The Dolls that had no story whatsoever, and she was a head swap of Cammy in SFA3. She gets here because there is literally nothing of value in her character. If she was removed from the universe, Juli would still exist to tell her story also! This is short because she's the easy last place. There's nothing to say about her because she is that meaningless.

So I'm a bit bored and restless while waiting for Street Fighter X Tekken to come out, so I decided to pick out all of the Street Fighter characters and rank them by their character and story. When I say all of the Street Fighter characters, I don't actually mean all of them though. I made exceptions!

This list will not include:
1) The Street Fighter 1 losers - Who cares about those guys.
2) Evil Ryu, Cyber Akuma, Shin Akuma, Oni, Violent Ken, and Mecha Zangief - They're just different versions of the same characters!
3) Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game characters - Blade a Captain Sawada, whose special is running into you.
4) Street Fighter EX characters - Skullomania gets a shout out right here though.
5) Eagle & Maki - Alpha console exclusive characters I never played.
6) Ingrid - Apparently this b**** created the Pandora in SFxT. She's also basically a Mary Sue, and nobody likes those.

There are 58 characters on this list, and they'll all be discussed at various lengths. Now before I start, I'm going to clarify something important.

If your favorite character got ranked low, it's because they aren't too much of a character in the series. Some of my favorites and guys I love using are not high ranking on this list either.

This is all about character and storyline here! So without further ado... let's get rolling.

Juni at the bottom spot? Joke list. She actually plays remarkably different from Cammy - Spiral Arrow and Cannon Spike are charge moves for her, Spiral Arrow can be done in the air, and she has a command dash teleport and command grab. She and Juli also have awesome normals (s. HK is actually much better than Cammy's s. HK due to having a little extra range) and a decent if slow overhead. Storywise she's nothing to write home about and she's decidedly low tier in Alpha 3 (her supers are trash and her CCs are nothing to write home about), but she's a lot of fun and is not at all a Cammy clone, no matter what the sprites and story would have you believe.

57) Twelve
First Game: Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike

external image

external image

[No Twelve Cosplay Due To Nobody Liking Twelve]

external image

His Story: The Illuminati's G-Project which is overseen by Urien. His mission is to hunt down Necro, his prototype, and bring him back. He seems to gain control over himself after this.

My Thoughts: He suuuuucks. He's like a white playdough monster. He has moderately cool moves in which he can transform his limbs into weapons. Unfortunately, that's about the most interesting thing about him. He can take an opponent's moves with a super move. And he talks in binary, which I guess is supposed to give him character. He's one of those characters who could be completely removed and nothing would ever change. He's so devoid of anything interesting about him that I can barely even say anything else. He's easily the most ass of the SF3 characters, and I refuse to give him any sort of love here.

56) Remy
First Game: Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike

external image

external image

external image

external image

His Story: Remy hates all fighters because his father abandoned his family to become a warrior. Remy's sister died, so he encased her in a block of ice underwater. He eventually decides he must forget everything to be happy, so he let his sister's body sink to the bottom of the sea and apparently moves on.

My Thoughts: So I think Remy is alarmingly stupid. He hates fighters. So he decides to become a fighter because ???. Also, he somehow puts his sister in a block of ice underwater. And then he decides to get over it all and move on with his life. Like, WOW. Do I even need to get into why this is dumb? Why is he fighting if he hates fighters? To beat fighters up AND BECOME ONE OF THEM? Where does this sister thing come into play? And how does he manage to freeze her in a block of ice underwater? I mean, I'm all about character development, but Remy has bar none the dumbest backstory of any character in the series. It's soooo stupid. Plus, he's a Guile knockoff, and while he's somewhat cool to play, I just hate looking at him and his long aqua hair and his stupid girl pants.

Personality, fighting style, and fun in fighting with or against the character should be the main things that matter.

In which case, yes, Twelve would still probably be near the bottom. But maybe not Remy!

Well, I should say SF3's plot was so hilariously disconnected and random more than "It sucked."

It did suck, but there's no sense of cohesion anywhere other than they all want to beat Gill for varying reasons or no reason at all really.

The other games at least had some sort of cohesion.

Well, maybe not SF2, but it wasn't quite as senseless as SF3 for the most part.

55) Q
First Game: Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike (Anyone notice a pattern?)

external image

external image

external image

external image

His Story: Q is in various places around the world.

My Thoughts: Q might be cool if they actually based his character off of anything else but "He was that weird guy in the background of Ken's stage in SF2." What? You didn't know?

external image

Yup. There's a guy who is apparently Q right there. He's seen around the world, you see. However, I like Q in terms of... the guy is kind of a hulking badass. He gets above Remy on this list ONLY because I'm mildly intrigued by him. Of course, I suspect that's all that Capcom wanted to do with the character. Make him look and act mildly intriguing. Just skulk around, spasm a bit, grind his boot on his opponent's face, mumble some stuff, and... yeah. You got a character, I guess. But he's not much of one.

Capcom is apparently ashamed of Q and doesn't like him. Hell, even Ono was asked if he could appear in Street Fighter X Tekken, and Ono, for once in his life being dead serious, said that he would never ever appear in anything else again, because he's a dead horse. When Capcom is ashamed of a character, you know he's really not good.

Twelve is the worst character in the series. Whether you go by story, gameplay, general character design, whatever. He is awful at all of those. He doesn't belong in 3S and would be a lot more at home in some other fighting game series. Matches against him are awful, everyone should hate him and I'm glad that you do.

Remy has a dumb story but pretty much everyone in 3S does. Gameplay wise he's okay. I like him better than Guile for sure.

But that's my whole point! When you're talking about characters in a fighting game, how they fight is probably the most important thing!

For example, I like Ken slightly more than Ryu in terms of characterization, but I find Ken so much more obnoxious to fight against, so I'd put him lower on the list.

EDIT: Also, boo at the Q ranking. Q was one of my favorite 3rd Strike characters. Basically a more fun version of Balrog, with a cool design and an air of mystery. Really hope he makes it into Tekken X Street Fighter (the makers of it and SFxT did say that neither company would have any input on the other's game, so it's possible that Q could get in despite Ono's wishes).

54) Necro
First Game: Street Fighter 3: 2nd Impact (Well, I guess that's a bit different.)

external image

external image

[Mercifully, nobody has ever cosplayed at Necro]

external image

His Story: Necro is a Russian who was convinced by Gill to join his organization to give him a better life. Then they experimented on him and left him looking like a freak and they put a computer in his brain to make him a better fighter. He tries to get revenge on Gill, and he failed. His girlfriend then saved his life and they lived together.

My Thoughts: I consider Necro Capcom's attempt at Voldo. He's just a goofy mother f***er and nothing makes sense about him. I feel like they just threw a bunch of ideas for a fighter and Necro is what was crapped out. I feel like he might be mildly interesting... but he's just far too weird and nonsensical to really be interested in. His story is pretty mediocre as well, and his personality never really interested me much at all either. His moves are kind of neat to play with (If you're into those kind of characters), but that's pretty much all he's got going for him. Oh Necro. Just another in a long list of SF3 rejects.

53) Juli
First Game: Street Fighter Alpha 3

external image

external image

external image

external image

Her Story: Juli is a girl from T. Hawk's tribe who was kidnapped and turned into a killer assassin by Bison. When Bison was defeated, she collapsed and Vega saved her. She's in a coma and being cared for by an elderly couple when T. Hawk finally finds her.

My Thoughts: I rank her above s*** tier (btw, we're out of s*** tier now) because her story actually has a slight bit of meaning, even though she's just another character. This is the chick T. Hawk has been looking for! Therefore, she is mildly important and therefore the better of the two Cammy headswaps. There's not a whole lot else to really say about her, but she's only important to T. Hawk's storyline and is otherwise pretty meaningless. Hence, she gets this low placement.

oh god why did you have a tickling fetish picture for juli

where did you even find that

Anyway, Juli is my absolute favorite Alpha 3 character simply because she was the only character I could consistently beat my brother with. Unlike Juni she really is a Cammy clone, having the same supers (minus the KILLER BEE ASSAULT) and special moves (she trades Spiral Arrow for the Snipe Arrow, a big flying jump kick that has more range but can't be combo'd into). I don't have any real explanation for why I like her so much either - she just felt natural to me in a way no other character ever did, and I suspect no other character ever will.

52) El Fuerte
First Game: Street Fighter IV

external image

external image

external image

external image

His Story: El Fuerte joins the SIN tournament in order to find the perfect recipe, because he is a cook you see. Except he sucks at cooking.

My Thoughts: The Street Fighter IV barrier has been breeched! So El Fuerte is easily the worst character they brought in from that game. Now, I like his fighting style, but good god, does his story suck. It's really as simple as I said, and the jokes are barely amusing. And his entire character is based around shouting out food jokes. Now, that's all fine as well, and I'm not terribly offended by him. But as a character, he's just baaaaaad. And I'm sure that if you were forced to listen to El Fuerte matches for an hour straight, you'd go insane.

Didn't stop him from being one of my most played guys in SF4 though!
