As well as having a lot of original outfits, Fortnite has many crossover skins to choose from. Star Wars, Naruto, and Marvel all have a presence in the popular Battle Royale.
Within this genre of crossover outfits is the Gaming Legends bracket. Here you have iconic faces from several different franchises like Halo and God of War. Included in this is one of the greatest video game fighting series: Street Fighter.
The Street Fighter series has had a huge roster of characters over the years. The dancing Dee Jay, mountainous Thunder Hawk, and imposing Sagat all make up the fighting faces of the series.
Only a handful of Street Fighter skins are currently in Fortnite, but who is the best? Read on to find out.
Ranking Every Fortnite Street Fighter Skin
6. Guile
Devoted to fighting the Shadaloo organization and finding his friend, Guile is one of the leading Street Fighter heroes.
Known as Gairu in Japan, Guile is a Major in the United States Air Force. An all-American, Guile was created specifically to appeal to players in the United States. His looks have varied throughout the years but have stayed on a consistent military theme.
In Fortnite, he follows this trend by having his most recognizable look. This consists of a green tank top, camouflage trousers, and black military boots. His additional touches are his unnaturally tall hair, his American flag tattoo, and his dog tags. In addition to his own tags, Guile wears the tags of Charlie Nash. Charlie was his Captain and good friend.
Guile’s hair is so iconic and hilarious that it almost earned him a spot on our funniest Fortnite skins list.
The only minor difference in Guile’s Fortnite appearance is his light stubble instead of his clean-shaven look. Coincidently, Guile will have a light beard in the upcoming Street Fighter VI.
Guile also has a pair of handcuffs on his belt. This is a playful reference to a glitch that could occur in the arcade version of Street Fighter II.
Guile’s second outfit is a Summer-themed get-up titled Glistening Guile. Here, his tank top is black instead of green and has khaki shorts instead of trousers. He also sports sandals instead of boots and has a towel and a pair of sunglasses.
Guile comes in a bundle with Cammy and costs 2,200 V-Bucks or 1,600 V-Bucks on his own.
5. Sakura
A young woman looking to hone her skills, Sakura is a promising martial arts student. The number one fan of world warrior Ryu, she mimics his Ansatsuken fighting along with his signature moves. She’s even been known to fly around the world to follow him!
For most of her appearance in the series, Sakura has been a teenage student. When not attending school, she trains herself in martial arts like her idol Ryu. By the time of Street Fighter V, Sakura is now in university. Additionally, she works part-time at a video game arcade.
Sakura is most visually seen in her school uniform. This comprises a white “sailor shirt,” and a blue skirt finished off with red high-top sneakers. To be combat-ready, she wears her red sparring gloves and white headband. The headband was actually given to her by Ryu himself before Street Fighter Alpha 2.
Sakura’s second outfit variant is a more athletic piece. Sakura Gym is what the fighter seemingly wears when training hard to improve her skills. Here she wears a white t-shirt with red hot pants and keeps her red gloves and white headband intact.
Coming bundled with the electrifying Blanka, Sakura costs 1,600 V-Bucks solo or 2,200 bundled. Her Back Bling is the Hanakaze Claw, an arcade crane machine game.

4. Cammy
Formerly a clone, Cammy White is now free from her corrupt Shadaloo origins. Now she works as an operative for MI6, helping agents (and Guile) take down all signs of her former masters.
Once known by her codename Killer Bee, Cammy was an agent of Shadaloo and M.Bison. After breaking the control over her (twice), she confronted the organization leader to find her purpose. Eventually helping other clones known as Dolls, she was saved by Vega and left to the British government.
Cammy’s look is slightly different than is seen in the Street Fighter series. Cammy wears her green bodysuit as she does in the fighting games, but with extra detail. In Fortnite, Cammy sports camo leggings to cover her bottom half, which is not present in Street Fighter. This was probably done to make the character a bit more family-friendly by having her show less skin. Still, Cammy was featured very highly on our best Fortnite bikini skins list.
Her second outfit, Tactical Cammy, changes some elements but keeps the same theme. Here she swaps her body suit for a cropped zip-up jacket and leggings for camo trousers. Her arm accessories also change to a more mechanical arm brace. However, she keeps her red beret and trademark waist-length plaited hair.
This look isn’t actually taken from a Street Fighter game. Instead, it comes from her guest appearance in Final Fight: Streetwise.
Cammy comes bundled with her fellow officer Guile, and costs 2,200 V-Bucks together or 1,600 solo.

3. Ryu
Arguably the face of the Street Fighter franchise, Ryu is the ultimate world warrior. Trained by the legendary Gouken, he travels the globe searching for opponents to test himself and his skills.
Born in Japan, Ryu grew up with Ken Masters as his best friend. They both trained in the art of Ansatsuken, learning from their master Gouken. As well as being great friends, this made them constant rivals, which continues in the series to this day. After reaching his 23rd birthday, Ryu left his master and dojo to travel the world to hone his skills.
Ryu’s look is simplistic but remains one of Street Fighter’s most iconic characters. Always ready for an encounter, he wears his plain white, sleeveless gi and his red headband. He adds some more red with his sparring gloves, and his gi is held by a dark brown belt. Ryu is super tough, so he doesn’t need shoes of any kind.
His Battle outfit variant is taken from his look in Street Fighter V. Here, he keeps his headband and belt but loses his gi. Now he fights shirtless but with torn brown trousers and brown cloth on his hands. He also has a full beard as opposed to a clean-shaven face.
In SFV, Ryu has been training alone in the mountains after overcoming the Satsui No Hado. This is why his Battle look has the features that it does.
Ryu is paired with the kicking sensation Chun-Li for 2,200 V-Bucks, or he can be bought on his own for 1,600 V-Bucks.

2. Chun-Li – Runner-Up to the Best Fortnite Street Figher Skin
The primary female hero of the Street Fighter franchise, Chun-Li is an agent of Interpol. Often working with Guile, Cammy, and Ryu, she seeks revenge on M.Bison for her father’s death.
At the age of 18, Chun-Li joined Interpol after years of training with her father. She joined the organization to track down her father, who had gone missing. After joining the ICPO department, she often came across Shadaloo smuggling narcotics and weapons. This led to her first set of encounters against the treacherous M.Bison. After being attacked by Bison, he reveals that he killed her father.
Like many of the characters, Chun-Li has had a primary outfit that has followed her throughout the years. This is retained in Fortnite by having her in her blue qipao dress, brown leggings, white boots, and spiked bracelets. She also keeps her covered “ox tail” buns, a popular Chinese hairstyle for girls and young women.
Her second outfit is called Nostalgia and has two references. It primarily comes from her look in the Street Fighter Alpha series, where many characters had dramatic costume changes. For this, she wears a vest with a similar design to her original dress and navy unitard. She swaps her boots for a pair of yellow and blue trainers and slightly uncovers her ox tail buns.
The Nostalgia name comes from Street Fighter V, which is the outfit’s official name. She also has a slightly different variant in SFV called Onitsuka Tiger, with branded shoes and leggings.
Chun-Li teams up with Ryu in her Bundle and costs 1,600 V-Bucks solo or 2,200 in a set.

1. Blanka – The Best Street Fighter Skin in Fortnite
The only Street Fighter character to have an original outfit variant, Blanka has two very distinct costume choices. Described as a “feral man from the Brazilian jungle,” his birth/human name is thought to be Jimmy.
Instantly recognizable by his green skin and orange hair/fur, Blanka was inspired by the Tiger Mask manga character Gorillaman. Lost in the jungle after a plane crane, Blanka grew up away from civilization and learns to fight to survive. Blanka only ever befriends Dan, Sakura, and Laura in the story of Street Fighter. Dan even teaches him to speak English.
Blanka doesn’t really have much clothing due to his character’s origin. Besides his ripped trousers (now shorts), he is without any clothing. This is made up of his largely exposed green skin and large mane of orange hair. He also has broken chains on his ankles, a homage to his character’s Gorillaman inspiration.
Blanka tops this list of the best Fortnite Street Fighter skins because of his amazing secondary outfit, Blanka Delgado.
This isn’t actually a reference to any previous costume for Blanka in the Street Fighter series. It’s a crossover design with the character Boman Delgado from the Rival Schools series, another Capcom franchise.
Here, Blanka wears a full dark grey three-piece suit, tie, and aviator sunglasses. He even tidies up his hair with a hair band to make him look extra smart.
Blanka comes in a Bundle with his best friend Sakura for 2,200 V-Bucks. His Back Bling is a “Blanka-Chan” doll, a toy he sells in Street Fighter V.
