When you think of Street Fighter, the first thing that usually comes to mind is all of the great, classic characters like Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li and Guile…

This is why it was wise of Capcom to bring the original cast back for Street Fighter IV, as opposed to Street Fighter III’s weird cast of random degenerates. If we wanted to play as a bunch of freaks and genericos, there’s “Guilty Gear” and “King of Fighters” for that, respectively.

Well, their wisdom has paid off, as they’ve already shipped over 2 million copies of SFIV worldwide in less than a month. But what about all those lame characters from previous games? What are they going to do while they wait around for another “Capcom Vs. SNK” or “Card Fighter Clash” game to drag them back out of obscurity? Who are we talking about here, exactly? In order to answer these questions, we looked deep into the rich history of Street Fighter and dug up the 10 absolute weirdest Street Fighters of all time:

Exhibit A: R Mika
1st Appearance: Street Fighter Alpha 3

R Mika looks like a combination of a rabbit, a French maid, Hulk Hogan and a stripper at Crazy Horse. So essentially playing as her is like playing as Brooke Hogan. It’s just too confusing… You just don’t know whether to be aroused or disgusted.



Where is she now: Currently lives/works in a truck stop restroom in Fresno.

Exhibit B: Oro
1st Appearance: Street Fighter III

Oro is a creepy old dude dressed in filthy rags that fights with one arm tied behind his back so as not to accidentally kill someone. This is on account of it being made out of knife-wielding laser snakes or something like that. Unfortunately, all of these things combine to make him kinda sucky and unappealing. Unless you really have a thing for elderly amputees, I guess. Hey, I’m not here to judge.



Where is he now: In a park somewhere, contemplating whether to eat his own turtle or his friend’s dog first.
