Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix - Xbox Live Arcade

The worst Street Fighter characters ever

We top off Street Fighter Week with a look at the characters we don't need to see in IV

Words: Tyler Wilde, GamesRadar US

T. Hawk

Street Fighter’s obligatory Native American debuted in Super Street Fighter II, and promptly began running around with his arms out making machine gun noises, apparently playing “fighter jet.” Someone is going to be tuckered out tonight!

“Know what would be a good idea? If there was this one character, who was like, a genetic mutant, and he looked like Casper, and, dude, this game is going to be so good. Uh oh, I gotta go, thanks for letting me design your game, Capcom!”

Q

What do you do when you want your character to seem more mysterious? Name him a letter, preferably ‘Q,’ ‘X,’ or ‘Z,’ slap a mask on his face, toss in a film noir inspired trench coat and hat, and voilà, instant mysteriousity! Now if only he walked like Michael Jackson...

Haha, great article as usual. Just wanted to point out that Micheal Jackson character is from the "Smooth Criminal" video not Thriller... in case anyone out there thinks you are crazy!

I also thought he kinda resembled Rorschach from the Watchmen... at any rate, very poor character design

Author needs to be shot for putting Yun on this list (arguably the best character in SFIII:TS).

I've also played with most of the others. Q is kool, the rest are so-so. Can see why they don't appeal to all.
