With an increasing number of characters constantly being added to the game, it could be difficult to narrow down which ones we consider the best in Street Fighter: Duel. Many other characters can certainly fit the bill, especially depending on your team. But these Master, Infernal, rare drops, and common characters can generally excel

And there you go! Remember that our list may vary on whatever best works for you. The way all characters in Street Fighter: Duel interact with each other and the number of possible combinations can make even the most mid-character in the game a total winning machine. With that being said, if you were to pick a character to aim for first, I would say M. Bison is the best choice. He is a beast in both PVE and PVP thanks to his Return of the Inferno passive skill, making him, at least in my opinion, arguably one the best Street Fighter: Duel characters.
