Best Street Fighter 6 characters

Cammy wins 67% of her duels and tops the Street Fighter ranking ahead of Ken, with just 2 ELO points separating them.

The top of this ranking is a battlefield of razor-thin margins. Cammy edges out Ken by a mere 2 points despite his higher win rate of 68%. Juri follows in third place with 1369 ELO, also winning 68% of her duels across 85 matchups. The sharpest drop appears between ranks 4 and 5, where Chun-Li holds 1354 ELO and Ryu falls to 1325, a gap of 29 points that marks the clearest dividing line in the top tier. At the bottom, Kimberly struggles with a 37% win rate and 1072 ELO, while Blanka and Zangief occupy the spots just above her, suggesting these three fighters resonate least with the community.

This ranking draws from 1361 duels submitted by 26 players, comparing all 18 contenders in Street Fighter 6's roster. The data was last updated on 12 October 2026. Every vote shifts the standings, so if you have a favorite character who deserves a higher spot or want to defend your main against the competition, cast your duels and influence the outcome. The tightest race sits at the very top, where a handful of votes could shuffle the podium entirely.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
