Top 20 Street Fighter Characters of All Time

9. Akuma (Super Street Fighter II Turbo)

9. Akuma (Super Street Fighter II Turbo)

Introduced in Super Street Fighter II Turbo as a new final boss, Akuma has the same fighting style as Ken and Ryu, but he enhances these moves with supernatural powers. His cross-screen teleport is incredible, his aerial fireballs do major damage and his dragon punch is so quick and efficient that it's incredibly hard to counter. In addition, his outfit screams badass, with huge dragon beads around his neck and a glowing emblem on his back.

    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
