Characters
Here they are... the twelve characters of Street Fighter II that are available for use and their ratings. Ratings are judged from the usual 1 to 5 system, 5 being best, and 1 being worst.
Name:
Chun Li,
Rating: 4.6,
Description:
No doubt, Chun
Li is the goddess of Street Fighter II and the best character overall. Speed,
strength, and ability all packed into this Chinese girl makes you almost want to
use her every time, especially if you can control her. Weak
Against: Vega,
Ken, Ryu Strong
Against: M.
Bison, Zangief, Blanka, E. Honda
Name:
Ryu,
Rating: 3.6,
Description:
The famous Ryu,
we all know him well for he is the first character you see when you get to the
character screen selection. Cool looking and has a nice style, he is a semi
duplicate of Ken! He's good but not very smooth to use, but he has the famous
crouch/block/sweep style. Weak Against:
E. Honda, Ken
Strong Against:
Chun Li, Ken
Name:
Cammy,
Rating: 3.9,
Description:
Ohhh
Cammy, one of my favorite characters, she's only available however in the
updated Street Fighter II games. Anyway, though Cammy has a great style, only
one trouble... her sweep/punching range is too small.
Weak Against:
Ken, Ryu, Chun Li
Strong Against:
Blanka, Zangief, Bison
Name:
Honda,
Rating: 4.0,
Description:
Honda may have
some good skill and very fast hand movement, not as fast/good as Chun Li, but
his cheap slap move... he CAN MOVE when he's using it and not much can stop him!
Weak Against:
Blanka, Chun Li, M. Bison
Strong Against:
Balrog, Ken, Ryu, Sagat
Name:
Blanka,
Rating: 4.1, Description:
Blanka is fast
for his weight and very skillful. Not to mention he has probably the cheapest
move in the game, the ability to turn electrical. Which means, the minute you
touch him you get brutally damaged! Weak
Against: M.
Bison, E. Honda, Chun Li Strong
Against: E.
Honda
Name:
Guile,
Rating: 2.7,
Description:
I always liked Guile, but if you don't
know how to use his moves he's not that good I'm sorry to say. Guile is
popular, and he's a USA military type of figure. He has a range move like Chun
Li/Ken and Ryu have called Sonic Boom. Weak
Against: Ken,
Ryu, Chun Li, Vega, M. Bison Strong
Against: Balrog,
Blanka
Name:
Ken,
Rating: 3.7,
Description:
Ken is just a
pint better than Ryu from what I've been able to tell from my usage of him and
fighting against him, and STRONGER, but a little slower. Ken and Ryu's style is
the famous crouch/block then sweep style which even I use on netplay, which is
one of the best fighting styles to have. Weak
Against: Vega,
Zangief, Ryu Strong
Against: Ryu,
Chun Li
Name:
Zangief,
Rating: 3.2,
Description:
The punching
bag of Street Fighter II? Hardly, I used to think so but if you get to close to
him without a proper combination he'll probably take you out in seconds. Weak
Against: Chun
Li, M. Bison, Vega Strong
Against: Balrog,
Ken, Ryu
Name:
Dhalsim,
Rating: 3.6,
Description:
Fighting
Dhalsim usually isn't a walk in the park. He has fire breath, and has one of the
most odd styles I've ever seen. His body can stretch to large heights which
gives him a great advantage but his physical power is WEAK. Despite that, if you
know how to use his special moves then he's pretty damn good. Weak
Against: Ken,
Ryu, M. Bison, Vega, Chun Li Strong
Against: Sagat,
Zangief
Name:
Balrog,
Rating: 2.9,
Description:
Balrog isn't
anything too hot. He has some good moves but his style is very easy to figure
out and he's a little hard to use due to all the advanced marital arts he has to
face, however his uppercut and special moves can stop a lot of fast characters
in their tracks. Weak Against:
Sagat, M. Bison, Vega, E. Honda
Strong Against:
Chun Li, Blanka
Name:
Vega,
Rating: 4.5,
Description:
Second best
character of Street Fighter II if you use him right. His claw moves can be
really nice with range and he's good in melee, but he's best used for his sweep
moves as well. I call him Zorro due to his mask
and "Vega" name, similar to Zorro's real name, Don De La Vega. Poor
Vega got his clock cleaned by Chun Li once... Weak
Against: Sagat,
Balrog Strong Against:
Blanka, Zangief, E. Honda
Name:
Sagat,
Rating: 3.9,
Description:
Sagat's hard to
use and hard to fight. His tiger range move is annoying and he has a HUGE
uppercut like Ken does when you try to toss him around, yet Sagat is good if you
can get used to his height... which is funny because he is so tall, but his
attack range is so short. Sagat is also Bison's second in command. Weak
Against: M.
Bison, Chun Li Strong Against:
Vega, Ken, Ryu
Name:
Bison,
Rating: 4.3,
Description:
The mighty... and sinister Bison.
Swift
and powerful, Bison is considered THE ultimate villain in the game of Street Fighter II and
the final person you will face. Beware, he's got great moves... and if you can
actually master his hard style to use like the computer does, Bison is one of
the hardest to beat. Weak
Against: Ken,
Ryu, Chun Li Strong
Against: E.
Honda, Balrog, Vega, Sagat
