In this guide, we have a Street Fighter Duel tier list that ranks all of the characters in the game from best to worst.
Street Fighter: Duel is the mobile version of the beloved Street Fighter series. Many players seem to be enjoying it - especially those who are fans of the long-running fighting game franchise.
But, Street Fighter: Duel is very different from the Street Fighter games before it. Players no longer control one character, executing a series of devasting flurries and combos, but instead build a team of three fighters, with the mashing of buttons seen in other entries replaced with a more prosaic auto-battling system.
So while you may recognize many of the fighters in the game, you may be unsure who is the best, and that's where this Street Fighter: Duel tier list comes in.
We've ranked all the characters in Street Fighter: Duel from best to worst, giving you the information you need to know whether to spend time upgrading that character or taking your chances on a re-roll.
Let's get into it.
Street Fighter Duel Character Tier List
Street Fighter: Duel has a roster of over 40 characters, featuring many familiar faces from the franchise's history, including Ryu and Chun-Li.
We've ranked them from S-tier to F-tier, with those in the S-tier the best fights - at least in the game's PvE modes - and the F-tier those that are best left at the dojo.

There are some things to consider when looking at the tier list.
First, any character C-tier and above will carry you through the game. Second, you don't want to invest anything in the characters in the F-tier because they will end up fodder for you to get more materials to level up your good characters.
It must also be noted that it is early days for Street Fighter: Duel and the game has both PvE and PvP modes.
It may be that some characters become meta in PvE and not PvP and vice versa; at the moment, there isn't enough good data to differentiate, but there may come a time when there is a need for a tier list for each mode.
Until then, work on getting some top-tier characters and upgrading them as much as possible. Remember, Street Fighter: Duel is an idle game, so you can gain in-game items and character experience even when you're not playing.
