In the ever-evolving world of fighting games, character rosters are constantly expanding, leading to the age-old dilemma of which fighters make the cut. The iconic “Street Fighter” series showcases a remarkable few—Ryu and Ken are the only characters to appear in every main entry, from Street Fighter 1 to Street Fighter 6.

Chun-Li and Akuma follow closely, boasting an impressive six appearances. Meanwhile, several fan favorites, including Guile, Dhalsim, and Cammy, hold five appearances yet remain vital parts of Street Fighter 6.

However, the absence of classic characters like Balrog and Vega raises questions about the future. With a notable list of characters missing, including beloved names like Cody and Sakura, fans eagerly anticipate their return.

Some fighters, such as Ibuki and Juri, maintain perfect attendance since their debuts, while other popular contenders remain under speculation. As players look forward to new updates, the excitement builds around which characters will join the fray next. The legacy of Street Fighter continues to thrive, with each installment leaving its mark on gaming history.
