- Chun-Li is the third character with the most appearances, being present in every game after her debut except Street Fighter III: New Generation and Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact.
- Akuma is fourth, as he has showed up in every Street Fighter game after his introduction with the exception of Street Fighter III: New Generation, Street Fighter EX2 and Street Fighter EX3.
The cast of 12 characters from the original Street Fighter II has been reunited on four occasions: the console versions of Street Fighter Alpha 3, the Capcom vs. SNK series, Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition (Season 4).
- The entire roster from Super Street Fighter II Turbo has only reappeared in the same game two times, one of them being the console version of Alpha 3, and the other being Super Street Fighter IV.
