25. Final Fight Team
This piece showcases best friends Guy and Cody Travers from Final Fight. Both these characters debuted in Street Fighter during the Alpha series and have become fan favorites ever since.
In the background, you can see Metro City, where both of these guys are from, and the relationship the friends share is evidenced by Cody’s wanted posters (originated by his goodwill-based but erratic behavior) being seemingly ripped by Guy’s ninja techniques.

24. SFV Arcade Edition
Street Fighter V had a second life coming when its Arcade Edition was released. This image was released by Capcom in order to promote the game and this version of Akuma is the one used as the cover for the game.
The simplistic black and white color scheme contrasted with the accentuation of the character-specific tones like Rashid’s yellow lens, Juri’s pink spots, and Ryu’s red bandana and gloves look just epic, and Akuma at the center makes this a fantastic wallpaper.

SF6 promises to be bombastic, full of color, heavy, intense, street-culture oriented, and shining with personality, and this image pretty much encapsulates Luke and the upcoming title for the series in outstanding fashion.

21. Chibi Fighters
Street Fighter has had a few chibi versions of its characters even in official games. Since most characters in the franchise are super recognizable in any shape or form, they look great in any art style, and are especially cute in chibi form.

20. SFxTekken Ibuki
This art is from the Street Fighter X Tekken series and it perfectly captures Ibuki’s essence.
There is a sense of youthful joy in her eyes contrasted with the eerie eyes on the afterimage created by her forward dash. Ibuki is as visually striking as she is implacable with her mix-up-based rushdown offense, and this angle showing her in movement while fiercely wielding a kunai is a treat for any Ibuki fan.

19. Comics-Style Alpha
This is a Street Fighter Alpha series homage, showing multiple characters drawn in a comic book style, reminiscent of Jim Lee’s work.
There is an awesome detail in all the good characters being under a blue sky and the baddies being under dark clouds, while Ryu is split between light and darkness, hinting at his Evil Ryu persona.

18. SFxTekken Guile
Here we can see Guile’s cinematic art for Street Fighter x Tekken. The angle is great, showing Guile’s massive arms performing a Sonic Boom movement, with a yellow-green splash of energy that gives life to the piece.
In the background, we see an airplane, associated with Guile as he’s part of the American Air Force. This art style is insane and it works really well with Guile’s fierce design and color scheme.

17. Creepy Blanka for SNES
This is the original cover for Street Fighter II for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, the game that spawned the early days for SF console players. The cover is now iconic and it shows Blanka attacking Ryu and Chun-Li in the streets.
Many kids in the 90s thought Blanka was the main boss and one of the evilest and scariest characters in the entire game, due to the seriousness in which he poses as a threat in this image. That’s hilarious and it absurdly contrasts with Blanka’s actual status as a comedy character in the series, but that shows just how much striking power this image has.
