All 46 Street Fighter V Characters, Ranked
The complete Street Fighter V roster, from the 16 World Warriors of launch day to the last Season 5 additions, ranked by a mix of competitive strength at the end of the game's life, tournament presence and how the community remembers each fighter. Ryu and F.A.N.G sit low because the final seasons were honest about them; Luke, Ken and Cammy sit on top because they were the characters the last Capcom Pro Tour brackets were actually built around.
