While you can definitely have instant success with all 45 cast members, sustained success with these characters and the rest we cover from this point out is definitely fleeting unless you put in the time. These all generally take several weeks to really understand the concept of the character and get down their main combos, spacing and setups that are needed to win. These fighters fall right in the middle of our listings, being neither overly easy or complex. This grouping of characters is also a good place to point newcomers, as there's still a decent amount of depth and nuance here, but lacking really high execution walls that need to be overcome. While good cases could be made that both Sakura and Rashid are definitely too strong for how easy they are to play, most of the other cast members are around the mid to low tier range, which is what you'd expect from characters who don't take as much time investment compared to the rest of the cast. They also tend to run lower on the tier listing side than the above characters, with a few exceptions, so while they're easier to play, they're not overpowered in that general context. They're definitely easier to play than most of the other characters, but they still have some depth that's advisable to learn and adapt into your overall gameplan. This grouping of fighters separate themselves from the above listing by having a couple of extra layers that you can learn to expand upon their gameplay.
Street fighter characters update#
They're easy to understand compared to the rest of the cast, and you can do a lot of damage, literally and figuratively, just by learning a few basic combos and setups.Ĭonsidering how ridiculously easy these fighters are compared to the rest of the cast, they're all heavily deserving of nerfs that they're unlikely to get, since we've likely seen the last major balance patch update for Street Fighter 5.
However, if you have friends who are new to fighting games, and you want them to have some success right away, these are terrific characters to start with. These characters have had heavy runs in the competitive scene, with each fighter winning multiple major tournaments. This is unfortunately a really bad category to fall under from a balance perspective, because currently all four of these fighters are among the best in the game, with a slight exception of Necalli, who's maybe just high tier instead of top tier. Mash your face on the joystick easy characters The characters are sorted alphabetically in each category. While your mileage may vary, as some players will struggle more with charge commands, motions or various things, this is generally how difficult these fighters are to pick up.īelow you'll find a breakdown of all 45 characters from the easiest to the hardest, including a quadrant tier list showing how strong and weak everyone is, comparative to the level of skill it takes to play them. With this in mind, but also to help direct your friends to a character who might be their best choice to pick up and play, I've built out a tier list for the easiest characters to play in Street Fighter 5.
That's not to say that easier to play characters shouldn't exist, because these fighters often offer a leaping off point for newcomers, only that they shouldn't be amongst the best characters in the game, as this is generally seen as very poor design.Īfter all, why would you invest the time into learning a highly complicated character who's ultimately not that effective? Especially when you could be spending time on a basic character who IS highly effective? The one thing that fighting game community has consistently shown is that if they're given an easy option who's top tier, players will flock to these characters in droves, tremendously harming a game's overall character variety.
