It depends a lot on the version of the game: in the last version released in arcades (Super Street Fighter II Turbo aka Super Turbo or ST), Guile is roughly in the middle. It's fairly unanimous that the top tiers in ST are Dhalsim, Claw, Boxer, and O.Sagat.


>"...in ST are Dhalsim, Claw, Boxer, and O.Sagat."

In the US version, there were slightly different names I am guessing. Claw is most likely Vega and Boxer is Balrog?


Yeah but in japan Balrog is M.Bison, Vega is Balrog and Bison is Vega, so you reference them by Claw, Dictator and Boxer.


Capcom thought a boxer named Mike Bison might get them sued so swapped some of the names around in the non-Japanese version

Dictator: Vega → M. Bison

Boxer: M. Bison → Balrog

Claw: Balrog → Vega


Nice job on the international designations to avoid mix-ups.
