Chun Li (CvS2 > 3S > ST > Marvel (MvC1) > Alpha)
The very first character I ever used since World Warrior. In the beginning I picked her up just because she was "the girl", but with time, the character grew on me. In terms of character design, I think she has the perfect balance of style and sexyness - her clothes are stylish without being overdone and there is no excessive fanservice.
Storyline wise, I think she is well-developed, despite what certain fanboys can say. I also liked how she evolved into a more centered person after the SF2 saga, which is a great contrast to her Alpha/SF2 personality.
Gameplay wise, she is one of the characters who has changed the most in the SF series. Most importantly, these changes have been for the best (especially her CvS2 incarnation); except for the Alpha series, I have always found her to be an interesting and fun character to play with. Her 3S redesign was an interesting experiment, with the design being refined in CvS2, which provides a great balance of complexity and effectiveness (top tier potential without being Sagat/Blanka/Cammy-retarded to use). The 3S experiemnt also brought my overall favorite super: Houyoku Sen, which IMO is the move that best reflects Chun Li's design: stylish and gracious, but deadly.
---
Ryu (3S > all)
I always liked Ryu's personality (despite him being sterotyped as a boring chracter) of being a person always trying to improve himself and looking for the next challenge. However, I never cared that much about him except for remembering him as my brother's favorite character. The fact that I never liked much his Alpha design didn't help much either. All this changed in the Street Fighter III series, since IMO, it is where Ryu really shines. Capcom really hit the spot with Ryu's design for this game, since he evolved exactly the way I expeted him to be. He looks older, more experienced, and more _focused_. This is reflected in the way he moves: with fluidity, hard-hitting strikes, and no unnecessary movement involved. SF3's Shin Shoruyken is the epitome of what Ryu is. No other super of any other game can reflect Ryu's character better. (3S ShinSho is also my third overall favorite super).
--
Makoto (3S)
At first glance Makoto looks like a female version of Ryu, but that is not the case. Sorry if I offend anyone, but people who say that Makoto is an unoriginal character obviously do not play 3S or cannot see below the surface of things. Although her character design may look plain, in the end she is an unorthodox character that is also very fun to play with. Her moves are not what you see on every other fighter, and she breaks the mold that female characters have low stamina and rather use speed to win (yes, I know she is not the only one). She also has my second overall favorite super: Seichusen Godanzuki.

Dahlsim is my n°1 character since his gameplay changed in SSF2, and he's funny, and he's above average strength in almost every game he's in without beeing overpowered or boring to play. And there is a fight running on 2ch, Z Gundam vs Z Dahlsim, and Z Dahlsim is winning so far.
Appart from him, I stopped playing SF games for long, so... my second vote will go to Guile. I hate him, I hate the character, I hate the way he plays, I hate to fight him, but his actuality lately has been filled with things like
mata damasareta kimi gairu
kokoni gairu ga iru
tatoeba kimi gairu dakede
Imakoso yomigairu
gunfukuni ki gairu
tobikomu niwa yuuki gairu
omawarisan, asokoni henna hito gairu no desu
otoosan, shoukai shitai hito gairu no.
onakani oniisan no kodomo gairu no.
...And my third vote will go to Zangief, for the cameo he does in the above threads.

Hi all.
I'm new here, been lurking for a while.
So here's my picks:
Vega (claw)
Psychotic narcissistic bullfighting ninja. Doesn't get much better than that. Incredible design and really fun to play as. Wish Capcom would evolve him into the Fallen Vega (Cannonspike)design in a future SF
Blanka
He was my first... snif...
And i mean the savage beast SFII Blanka, not the Monkey-Boy alpha Blanka. Although he was pretty good in CvS series.
Akuma
Still a good design. Really kicked ass at first, now is becoming overexposed. And the MvC2 version was crappy.
My choices is very dark and gritty characters (maybe not blanka, but i want him to be) and that is the direction i want the SF series to take in the future. Away from the SFA style where half of the cast is Joke and Goof, and the other half is old characters remade into idiots.
OK, the occasional goofball is okay, like Dan, but SFA series just has too many. Like 'I Learn Ryus Moves Just By Watching' Sakura. Stupid.
And SFIII series is not any better... It's fighting after all, not comedy.
So next SF should be more serious, dark and gritty, and less comedy and colorful.
Maybe got a bit off-topic, but what do you others think about that?

Cammy
Guile
Dudley
Cammy I've always loved simply for her absolutely awesome design. She's easily the hottest and coolest female in SF, and her moves are cool as well. I've never been specifically fond of how she plays, but to me she's still always been no. 1 simply because of her looks. :)
Guile is someone I've only started liking in recent times. Back in the SF2 days I much preferred Ryu and Ken and to some extent Balrog (Vega) to him, but he's growing on me. Again, it's mostly the design I like; like all SF2 characters his design is very simple and iconic, but IMO it works very well. He's got pretty cool moves too, not to mention a badass voice!
Dudley has grown to become my favourite SF3 character, although he is closely followed by Elena and Ibuki - had I been allowed more characters on the list they'd probably have made it. While I've learnt to love Cammy's and Guile's personalities, stories and playing styles after being fond of their design, Dudley's been sort of the other way around. I love the concept of a snobby English boxer, and I think with Dudley it was executed flawlessly. His moves are really great, and I've really come to like his design as well.

OK, here's my trio:
- Remy(SFIII: TS): I always loved Guile's gameplay, but the design was too US patriot for my tastes (not bad, though). Remy gets a better design, a gameplay even more suited to my style (gotta love the Cold Blue Kick), plus a boring story and personality, but... well you can't have everything.
- Makoto(SFIII: TS): Powerful, original gameplay, cool attitude and yes, cute. And the Abare Tosanami Kudari juggles are easy and painful. Specially against Remy and Gouki...
Vega(Claw, CvS2>SFA3>SSFIIT): Crazy, quick and effective, and a great design, that became better in Alpha 3. In CvS2 he's a beast, and fits my style of pokes and reaction.
BTW, Rid, I always liked when Adon highlighted some comments about the characters in the ARCS when he gave the final scores. Maybe you could do something like that.
And totally offtopic, but I'm leaving to London in a few hours, so don't start the KOF one until the next weekend!

Nash - not as serious as guile, and not as gay looking as remy (although im fond of the of the gay looking characters.) His flashkick looks the coolest, has style, blah, blah, blah, i could go on forever...
Yang - I like his quickness, and one of the few non-freaks that SF3 has to offer with fun gameplay, at least for me.
ryu - yeah he may be a shoto, but he was the first, and the first guy i ever picked in Street Fighter as others have mentioned. I like his "boring" personality about him just caring about improving his fighting skills, quite the stereotype, done a million times, but i never get tired of it somehow.

Sakura - There I was, at some amusement park arcade looking for a game to play, and here's a SFZero2 machine with a cute girl character who seemed to be kicking ass in it. Ridiculous but true, but visually Sakura's design got me into SF, and been playing ever since.
Ken- Gives off confidence, radical radical eyebrows, and his burning (fierce) shouryuuken makes me happy. Oh, and Shinryuuken's my favorite super of all time, especially in Zero 3 where even L.1 can input extra bonus hits.
Sodom - I don't even like playing with him since I'm not a fan of 360's, but as a character he's unbeatable. "Die job death car??" ダイジョウブデスカー？

Rolento- Aside from liking his design, his moves are cool too. The baton spin combo, his piano wire super, and the fact that he can be anywhere on the screen that you want him to be are very nice. It's very satisfying to catch someone with his level 3 backward roll with the surprise grenades...
Sakura- She's cute and a fun character to use. As someone else said, she's NOT RYU (which is good). She's one of my strongest SF characters, actually. I liked her jumping two-handed punch thing they added later in the Alpha series, too. Heh heh. I remember surprising this expert player in CvS2 with that move... I want to say I caught him out of a super or something, but I don't quite remember.
Akuma/Gouki- He's a shoto and all, but I can actually enjoy using him. He's got a very cool character to him, and he's a bit more versatile than Ken and Ryu... Like Sakura, I can get in a good rhythm with Akuma during a match.
There are others that I like a lot, but I don't think I can say they're FAVORITES... Ibuki, Dudley, Gen, Birdie, Dan, and Sagat... They're all a lot of fun to play, and certain ones grew on me after beating the game with them. I'd play through the game with everyone when I got the home versions of the SF games, and I'd have to learn how to play with everyone.... and some of them would grow on me and I'd actually WANT to use them again.
Plus, there's nothing like using one of Dan's taunts to roll under Sagat's fireballs and land a super after it in a boss fight.

You´ll have to back that up.
Aw, you're so mean. ...course, that whole fanboys comment could also be very mean, too, come to think of it.
Anyways, I'll throw in what might be the only votes for Juni and Juli and my third goes to Vega/Balrog (Matador). I like the concept of a bunch of killer female assassins who come from various countries and work for an evil underground organization and use lots of different types of weaponry, I absolutely adore the Doll uniform (while ironically despising Shadaloo Cammy's. Pants just made that much of a difference, I guess. ...well, that and the color), I thought their storyline of how they got betrayed by their leader but were still loyal to him then Cammy saved them was sad but nifty, and I hadn't played Street Fighter in a while when I got Street Fighter Alpha 3 so Juli was a good starter character to get me back into the swing of things (gooo sniping arrow everything into oblivion) then as I moved on to higher levels, Juni with her complexity gave me lots of potential to learn. Of course, this is all conveniently ignoring the absolutely retardedly lazy way Capcom handled the Dolls from what you actually GET as playable characters (there be no logic in me saying I like the concept of multiple females from different areas wielding different weapons when the only Dolls besides Cammy that you see for more than 1.5 seconds both come from one country and wield no weapons whatsoever!) to how it took me months to figure out how the heck their storyline worked out (I liked figuring out how the storyline worked out and I liked the storyline once I figured out how it worked out but no one should have to go through that for a single fighting game! Or at least Capcom could have been a LOT less sloppy by using the other Doll sprites that WERE ALREADY THERE instead of re-using multiple Juni and Juli sprites to represent the Dolls) to Capcom re-using multiple Juni and Juli sprites to represent the Dolls. ...oh yea, and you all must fear Juli the Native American Caucasian. Oh, and I hate the robo-speak. ...okay, the Dolls are more my favorite characters off in some magical bizzarro universe that only exists as a figment of my imagination where the Dolls were actually more than just two characters that were some head-swap afterthought tacked onto a game by a company that was in one heck of a damn lazy mood, but whatever.
So that leaves Vega, of whom I like the look, mask, claw, personality, gameplay (boy did I envy him when he kicked my ass in the original SF2. And all I had was Chun-Li who seemed like molasses compared to him), backstory, psycho goals and delusions of beauty, and love-hate relationship to Cammy and what he did in SFA3.

Actually, it was. But it was rather directed to the likes of Stefan. I should have been more specific.
Now, as of backing it up, you can go to the Chun Li section of
http://orochi.com/sffaq/characters.html
As you can see, she has quite a bit of miscelaneous details besides her main story. Besides that, I think she is one of the characters who has changed the most. In Alpha and SF2 she looked like a person likely to rush things as a consequence of her thirst of revenge. In Third Strike (and CvS2) she looks like a more focused and experienced woman, with a completely different goal in life. In other words, she was able to move on and focus her life to help others.

Chun-Li, I think she's okay in my book (though I can see why lots of other people like her).

The new version has quite some differences with the old one I quoted. A correction:
"Chun-Li almost positively knows Yun and Yang. Besides the special
intro Yun gets with her in CvS2, Yun has a specific win-quote to her where
he's surprised at what she looked like when she was younger ("Wow! I never
imagined you could look like this!"). It's pretty logical that she'd know
Yun and Yang, since she knew Gen and all."
If I hadn't bothered to read Yun and Yang's section, I would have not realized that Yun's quote about a younger Chun Li comes from SFA3GBA, since I haven't played that game. From the way it is written, it looks like the quote comes from CvS2.
Also, you may want to note this: one of the win quotes of US Third Strik is the following:
"Hey, leave me alone! I'm a fighter, not a news reporter!"
I am not sure if such quote exist in the Japanese version, but this quote may be a reference to the Van Damme movie.
Also, Third Strike also puts her name as Chun-Li (for the name discussion). So it looks like her romanized name is "Chun-Li" afterall.

(In order of least favorite to most favorite).
Ken - He shares the same first name as me, so I stuck with him until I got to Guile.
Guile - My first 'real' character, I learned his moves and some of his pokes (although, I was like, 12 when I did this, so I wasn't very good). Plus, it's still fun to hear him say "SONIC BOOM".
Remy - The only character I can actually say is cool for some reason. He doesn't give a shit, he's angsty, and he's pretty bland, but he just has the right clothes, the right style of movements (unzips his jacket, puts hand on hip, stares at downed opponnt) and he's an improved version of my old 'real' character, so he was my natural choice in Third Strike.
Brownie points go to...
Sagat, for being the only guy I couldn't beat in arcade back when I was 9 (SFII:WW) (I think I was playing as Ryu, so he was the last guy before Vega/M.Bison).
Dan, for being a total joke character that was still fun to beat scrubs with.
Guy, for being a ninja with sneakers.
So...how about those...things....

Since there are so many SF characters I like, it was hard to come by a decision.
Anyway, in no particular order:
Dhalsim - I always liked him, from the first instant I saw SF2 - "hey, he breathes fire!!!" -(although I couldn't use him effecively). Requirest thought to play, he's not easy but he's almost always been a pretty strong character.
Karin - at first I really hated her... then i slowly started to realise how good and original she was. The turning point for me was watching a vid from the USA vs Japan 2000 tournament, with JOE's V-Karin beating Alex Valle's V-Gouki in an intense match.
Just fun to play
Q - the sf3 character i like the best. Is just cool, and i love his unhortodox fighting style. Too bad he sucks in the game, so I have to pick Urien (my 2nd sf3 fav. character, btw) when I want to win against good players
I have to add that I can't stand Sakura and Cammy.
At least Cammy is hot, but i find them to be annoying and irritating.
(but my Cammy-hating is partially derived from her ST A.I., if you didn't follow precise patterns against her she'd just instant-react to everithing you did)

Wow. It's UBER difficult to choose just three, but upon much debate, I've come up with these three:
1. Sagat: He wasn't always among my favorites, but I always loved his SF/SSF2T/Alpha1&2 themes, and also his new theme in Alpha 3. I just remember seeing him in a whole new light once Alpha 1 was released. He looked so pimped out, and his Alpha sprite stands as perhaps my favorite 2d fighting game sprite ever. He's always been a blast to play, and I absolutely love his story.
2. Gen: Oh so unique playstyle. He's also a blast to use, and his story of looking for a fight that will kill him is just plain cool. His Alpha 2 background was unexpected, but still awesome, as was his Alpha 2 theme. Also, he has my favorite win quote ever: "Ancient words of wisdom: you suck." Pimped.
3. Dudley: Representin' for us black folks. One of the most stylish fighting game characters I've ever seen, awesome voice, awesome theme music in all three SF3s, super fun to play as...he's cool enough in all other areas that I can overlook the silly "I want my car back" storyline of his.
Honorable mention goes to every other SF character out there...except Remy...and Balrog (boxer)...and Sakura.

I meant to say Chun-Li is the first Fighting Video Game Female. I think you knew that and are singling me out instead of just correcting.
When Balrog has appeared in SF2 the Animated Movie, SF2V, SFZ Anime, Masahiko Nakahira's Cammy Manga, etc, etc, etc, there has always been lots of blood. I dare you to find me one interpretation of the character that involved no blood. Even in Masahiko Nakahira's SFZ Manga where he lost to Guy, he still managed to cut his face.
About Remy being inspired by Iori, not only is it pretty darn obvious but Akiman said it himself it's a tribute to SNK.
The rest of it is opinion, why I have to stress that I do not know. Why every single thing I said is being attacked on a suppposedly fun thread I don't know either. Someone start a KOF Favorite Character Thread so I can bash KOF on that Thread for the wrong reasons on the wrong thread.

1) Chun-Li: first character I ever used in SF2, she was always my favorite character since then until nowadays. She has great fighting skills, an interesting story (specially when SF3 3rd. Strike changed completely her story), plus she's really pretty, sexy and charismatic.
2) Ibuki: My favorite character in SF3 and 2nd. Impact, she's fast, has good attacks and I hope she (and Chun-Li, of course) will be in SF4.
3) Cammy: personally, I just liked her in SSFII/Turbo, I disn't like her very much in SF Alpha 3 (her story did get a lot better in Alpha, though), but since I like fast characters (and in SF, almost all the fast characters are women), I can say she's my 3rd. favorite, innocent but sexy. If she ever comes back in SF4, I hope Capcom makes her more like her SSFII incarnation.
I can be any person in the world ... maybe I'm this person right in front of you ... or maybe I'm not !!

I am not sure if such quote exist in the Japanese version, but this quote may be a reference to the Van Damme movie.
Also, Third Strike also puts her name as Chun-Li (for the name discussion). So it looks like her romanized name is "Chun-Li" afterall.
Oh yea, I forgot to mention. Thanks! But regarding Chun's SF3TS quote... I knew about that but didn't put it in the guide mostly because something just made me think that this particular easter egg should be left for other people to be able to discover for their own enjoyment themselves or some random excuse like that. Actually, there are several other pokes that Capcom takes to the SF Live Action Movie in some win quotes, but I don't remember any of them at the moment.

ONSLAUGHT - About Chun-Li - Sorry.
About Balrog - I still feel you know what I mean and are nitpicking. Whatever, you're right, I'm wrong, I can give a damn.
About Remy - It was something Akiman said in an old interview. TAS reminded me of it recently. You can contact him at SRK, you can E-Mail Akiman, or not believe me at all. Whatever. If you knew me you'd know I'm always providing info on SF and I don't make stuff up but I guess I can't establish trust over an argument so whatever. You're right, I'm wrong, I don't care.
Not bashing per se, anyone remember when we had the favorite Megaman Character Threads a while back? People posted there favorite characters and that's it, and we had lots of fun. I don't mind if someone complains about the under-use of a character because that's justified, but if someone says I like a character like I did with Balrog and I'm questioned about that when it's obviously my personal opinion it's really annoying, to me anyways, and in someways a slight jab at a Capcom character, like the ongoing thing with Chun-Li. I remember when this Thread had the Megaman fan polls, I didn't have to read anything like "The series has sucked since Megaman II", "All the characters suck except for these three," etc, etc, etc. So, forgive me for holding the people on this Thread to a high standard and being a sensitive SF Fan Boy.
You're right, I'm wrong, I really could give a crap. Let's please not start a Flame War.

But still, Chun Li is the First Lady of fighthing games (she was the first people actually cared for, and still has the highest status).
Saying "First Lady" as a status symbol is more appropriate (just as you did). She's definately the most recognized and most popular (that SF chara popularity poll which is gone now attested to that) but I just had to point out that technically she isn't the first "fighting game female". X-D
Karate Champ Vs. = Rocks me.
Even though I'm sure that they aren't I remember two old ones -> THe first one is a data east game that featured many mithological characters, it was mainly a "restling game"; the characters I can recall know are Herculess, a minotaur (FEEL THE STING OF MY HORN!!!) a Golem (I WILL MASH YOU), a fighter, a werewolf, a dragon and an amazon.
The other I recall it was an adventure+fighting game where you used a gladiator with a blue armor. When ever you where hit you could lose a pice of armor on where you recieved the impact. With up you blocked up, neutral was front block and down was low block, that also aplied with the attacks... if you tapped up and down quickly you could create a barrier. The fighting game part of the title that I recall are fights against some skeletons and some amazons.
For the record I thought that you would jump up with a stake & iron club saying that Geki was the first ninja in SF.

While Gladiator [the one with the blue gladiator guy] came out before SF2 I'm not sure I would count the amazons from that game since they aren't playable characters. How much difference is there between those female fighters and the CPU girl grunts that Double Dragon threw at you or the Chinese clones and the amazon women that Hiryu heroically guts in Strider? Maybe it comes from me thinking of Gladiator less as a fighting game and more as a game where you scroll along with the screen and have to fight people one at a time.
Hmm, didn't Mutant Fighter come out in 1992? Sheesh, I can't believe I remember that game, much less took the time to look up it's correct name.

Maybe I am just passing down some unconfirmed rumor, but Capcom has stated that SF4 will be all new challengers save for Ryu. :/
A looooooong time ago, Street Fighter's producers said with a wink, "At least one character will be returning." for Street Fighter 4. I think that heavily implies that only one is returning, and we all know it'll probably be Ryu. However, that was so long ago that I'm not sure if it really applies any more. ...course, I also feel by now that we probably won't ever be getting a Street Fighter 4 at all but maybe I'm being overly cynical. At any rate, though, if we ever do get a Street Fighter 4, I wouldn't be surprised if it were true. Ignoring the Alpha series, Street Fighter typically doesn't have many returning characters, and the amount of returning characters decreased with each progressive SF game (all... two of them). SF2 only had Ryu, Ken, Sagat, and Balrog/M. Bison returning (and that's only if you view Mike as the same as M. Bison). And SF3 was even worse, having only Ryu and Ken returning. Going by the math, it's divided by two each time! Four characters return in SF2, two in SF3, and thus the pattern would call for one in SF4 (and one-half of a character for SF5! Yeehaw!)

Discounting any Final Fight character, these are the three.
Dan: A ripoff of not one, but three characters that really shouldn't work, but does. Also love his signature moves (Premium Sign, Super Taunt Otoko Micchi)
Zangief: Mostly because of the excellent MoTM version. Plus, he's Russian, possibly a comunist, say's "DAH!" a lot, and was going to be called Vodka Gobalsky.
M. Bison, dictator: Snappily dressed (although I'd change a couple of things) with one of the worlds coolest and creepiest co-workers. Plus, he's evil.
