Summary
Street Fighter 6is one of the most ambitious titles in the series, providing a unique story mode with your created Avatar in World Tour and a robust and eclectic roster of 19 playable characters, almost guaranteeing someone for all play types.
Further sweetening the pot, all 20 characters have access to additional Outfits, allowing the veterans of the roster to cash in on nostalgia and the newcomers to wow us with their fashion sense.While not every Alternate Outfit is a hit, most of them are, making us question which of them is the best.
Updated Jul 26, 2025, by Seth Parmer:Since we last revisited this list, Akuma and M. Bison have joined the ever-growing roster of Street Fighter 6, allowing us to toss them into the sea of characters and pit their fit against their peers, which you can find below!
23Dhalsim
Dhalsim has been a fan favorite ever since he first debuted in Street Fighter 2, making his Classic Outfit iconic for many. However, his long run means he, unfortunately, falls into the ‘overly stereotyped’ category, making this throwback attire age a tad bit poorly.
While there’s nothing overtly offensive about Dhalsim’s Classic Outfit, his Modern one rights the wrongs, showcasing just how much his old look needed a refreshing. This is still an iconic look, but we much prefer all the others over it.
22Dee Jay
Dee Jay has received arguably the biggest glow-up from the cast of veterans brought back into Street Fighter 6, making his Classic Outfit seem far less spectacular and lacking personality in comparison.
His new Outfit breathes so much life into him, automatically making this the lesser of the two and a bottom-tier option amongst the other Alternate Outfits in the list. Die-hard fans of Dee Jay in the older titles may beg to differ, but his new look is just better in every way.
21Blanka
In contrast to Dee Jay, Blanka changed the least in terms of his Modern and Classic Outfits, bringing us to this placement.While Classic Blanka is still very cool looking, we prefer his new haircut, bandana, and suspenders, as they help bring more character to him.
Overall, the Classic Blanka is fantastic for fans of the previous titles, but there’s not much going on here that warrants it being placed any higher.
20Luke
Luke is a self-proclaimed “fan of wacky shirts,” yet both of his Outfits in Street Fighter 6 feature no such thing, with both being a bit of a letdown, all things considered. Even if his Alternate Outfit is better than his Default one, it’s not by much, and the bar for both is quite low to clear.
This look is just dull, as it features Luke with a blue hat that he has on backward (which he admittedly looks good in), a baggy white tanktop underneath a desert camouflaged jacket, and ripped blue jeans that top off the type of ‘style’ he has.
19Jamie
Out of the gate, Jamie is one of the most fashionable newcomers in the game. Still, his Alternate Outfit will make you think otherwise, as his puffy black and yellow jacket takes massive points away from his fashion sense, especially since it’s replacing a stylish and modified wushu uniform.
Jamie’s puffy jacket automatically plummets him near the bottom of the list. It’s just ridiculous looking and does not seem comfortable to fight in. He’s a stylish person, but he missed the mark entirely on this one.
18E. Honda
you’re able to’t talk about Street Fighter without bringing up E. Honda, who originally debuted in Street Fighter 2 wearing nothing but a blue and white mawashi, and that’s precisely what his Classic Outfit is. This iconic striped mawashi is back and looks better than ever on him.
We’d love to place this higher, but his Modern Outfit is surprisingly better, and the competition ahead is very steep, leaving us no choice but to put E. Honda and his mawashi near the bottom. Nonetheless, we still love this look overall and prefer it to those before it on the list.
17Lily
Lily will be recognizable to most veterans from the moment you see her in action, making her Alternate Outfit that much more special, as her orange and teal Baja jacket makes for one of the best-looking ones in the game.
Legacy aside, Lily’s Alternate Outfit is incredible, and that’s before you even factor in the customized pogamoggans that look like birds and her stylish boots. Lily will likely be a fan favorite in Street Fighter 6, and this Outfit is a must-get for those who choose to main her.
16Ed
Ed is the penultimate character added to Street Fighter 6 during its first season. While he is much better gameplay-wise than his debut in the previous title, his overall aesthetic still lacks that special something to make him stand out from the rest of the cast.
Nonetheless, Ed’s second Outfit is pretty okay, providing a sleeveless white hoodie with a red undershirt, along with long compression tights underneath boxing shorts that pair well with his boxing gloves and shoes. The color scheme is nice, but it is a tad basic, placing him toward the middle of the back.
15Ryu
Barely missing the top ten in shocking fashion is the one and only Ryu and his iconic white gi and red headband. Make no mistake, this attire is still all killer, but his new one is somehow even better than this one, leaving us no choice but to exclude it from the top ten.
Ryu is an unforgettable character that spans the minds of nearly all gamers, and this Outfit is synonymous with the image you think of when you imagine Street Fighter and him, but that doesn’t automatically enter it into the top ten, especially when all the other Outfits are as strong as they are.
14Cammy
Another iconic Outfit that will kick off our top ten, however, is Cammy’s leotard, which fails in practicality but kills it in almost every other way.Despite it becoming a bit controversial lately, this Classic Outfit goes hand in hand with her character and what people think of when they think of Street Fighter 2.
Cammy’s Classic Outfit is absolutely the definition of scantily clad and a perfect example of being a product of its time. Still, it’s also far too iconic not to include or outright ignore. Placing it near the top ten but slightly falling short.
