This is a list of rival battles seen in the Street Fighter games.

Street Fighter Alpha

In the original Street Fighter Alpha, the final boss will be different depending on which character is being used, though most of them fight M. Bison as their last opponent.

Character

Final Boss
Ryu, Adon and Dan Sagat
Ken and Sagat Ryu
Chun-Li, Birdie, Guy, Charlie, Rose and Akuma M. Bison
Sodom Guy
M. Bison Rose

Street Fighter Alpha 2

In Street Fighter Alpha 2, in addition to the final boss, there is also a mid-boss that can be fought under certain requirements.

Character

Mid-Boss Final Boss
Ryu / Evil Ryu Sakura Akuma
Ken Dan Ryu
Chun-Li Gen M. Bison
Sagat Adon Ryu
Birdie Dhalsim M. Bison
Adon M. Bison Sagat
Guy Rose M. Bison
Sodom Ken Guy
Charlie Rolento M. Bison

Akuma / Shin Akuma Ryu Gen
Dan Guy Sagat
Zangief Birdie Ken
Dhalsim Zangief M. Bison
Gen Chun-Li Akuma

Cammy Rose M. Bison

Notes:

  • Evil Ryu and Shin Akuma fight the same opponents as their normal counterparts.
  • Shin Akuma is not playable in the arcade version, but he can be selected in the console versions.
  • Cammy is only playable in Arcade Mode in the Street Fighter Alpha Anthology version of Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold.

Street Fighter Alpha 3

In Street Fighter Alpha 3, the fifth and ninth battles are character specific, but the final battle will always be against Final Bison (unless the player is using Bison himself or Evil Ryu). Some characters will also fight Balrog or Juli and Juni before facing Bison.

Ingrid Evil Ryu Rose Final Bison

Notes:

  • In the arcade version, Balrog, Juli and Juni share the same opponents as Bison (Akuma, Sagat and Ryu), even sharing the same dialogue and ending. They were given unique battles and endings in the console and handheld versions.
  • Fei Long, T. Hawk, Dee Jay, Guile, Evil Ryu and Shin Akuma first appear in the console versions.
  • Shin Akuma fights the same opponents as his normal counterpart, and so does Final Bison.
  • Eagle, Maki and Yun first appear in the GBA version, but they weren't given their own story until the PSP version.
  • Ingrid only appears in the PSP version.
  • Evil Ryu is the only character in the game that doesn't have Final Bison as his final opponent.

Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact

Much like in Street Fighter Alpha 2, every character has a secret mid-boss. Gill is usually the final boss, but some characters fight him as the second-to-last opponent and have a final boss of their own.

Character

Mid-Boss Final Boss
Ryu Sean Ken
Ken Dudley Ryu
Alex Ken Gill
Ibuki Elena Gill
Sean Yang Ken
Yun Urien Yang
Yang Oro Yun
Dudley Hugo Gill
Elena Ryu Gill
Oro Necro Gill
Necro Ibuki Gill
Hugo Yun Elena, Necro, Ryu or Gill
Urien Alex Gill
Akuma / Shin Akuma Sean Ryu
Gill Alex Urien

Notes:

  • Shin Akuma fights the same opponents as regular Akuma.

Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike

The ninth opponent is character specific. The final boss is always Gill, unless the player uses Gill himself, in which case the final boss will be Alex.

Character

Ken Urien
Alex Ryu
Ibuki Oro

Dudley Ryu
Elena Makoto
Oro Akuma
Necro Twelve
Hugo Ryu
Urien Necro
Akuma Ryu
Chun-Li Urien
Makoto Ryu
Remy Alex
Twelve Necro
Q Akuma
Gill Urien

Notes:

  • There will be a special conversation before the rival battle. Yun, Urien and Gill do not have a conversation with their rivals, having one with their final bosses instead. Akuma and Q however, do not have a special conversation before their rivals or final boss.
  • Gill is only playable in the console versions, and his final boss is Alex.

Street Fighter EX3

Some specific characters in Street Fighter EX3 can fight a secret opponent in Original Mode under certain conditions.

Character

Hokuto Kairi
Nanase Kairi
Skullomania Shadowgeist
Sharon Shadowgeist
Ken Evil Ryu
Sakura Evil Ryu
Sagat Evil Ryu
M. Bison / Bison II Evil Ryu

Street Fighter IV series

Rivals are fought after defeating six opponents, before the battle with Seth. For characters with two rivals, the player can choose which one they want to fight by holding all three punch or kick buttons when the "Fight Your Rival" message appears. If the player do not press any buttons it will default to the 2P character.

Ryu is the most common rival battle, serving as this for 20% of the characters in both Street Fighter IV (5 out of 25) and Super Street Fighter IV (7 out of 35), and 20,5% of the characters in Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition (8 out of 39).

Unused data

Ultra Combo videos indicate several characters would have been given second rivals in Super Street Fighter IV, but ended up keeping solely the same rival they had in Street Fighter IV, for unknown reasons.

  • Ken's second rival would have been Sakura, similar to their battle in Street Fighter Alpha 3.
  • E. Honda's second rival would have been Adon.
  • Blanka's second rival would have been Dan.
  • Zangief's second rival would have been Hakan.
  • Dhalsim's second rival would have been Hakan.
  • Balrog's second rival would have been Cody.
  • Vega's second rival would have been Cammy, similar to how Vega fought Cammy in Street Fighter Alpha 3.
  • M. Bison's second rival would have been Cammy, similar to how M. Bison fought Cammy in Street Fighter Alpha 3 as the final boss of Cammy's route.
  • Rufus's second rival would have been Ryu.
  • El Fuerte's second rival would have been Guy.
  • Abel's second rival would have been Juri.
  • Akuma's second rival would have been Gen.
  • Gouken's second rival would have been Ken.
  • Fei Long's second rival would have been Gen.
  • Sakura's second rival would have been Cammy.
  • Rose's second rival would have been M. Bison, similar to their battle in Street Fighter Alpha 3.
  • Gen's second rival would have been Guy, similar to how Guy fought Gen in Street Fighter Alpha 3.
  • Dan's second rival would have been Sagat, similar to their battle in Street Fighter Alpha 3.
