'''Main Series'''
* ''Street Fighter'': Based on ''[[Street Fighter Alpha (Video Game)|Street Fighter Alpha]]''. Chronicles Ryu's travels with his pupil Sakura, Guile and Chun-Li's efforts to track down M. Bison, and Cammy's defection from Shadaloo.
* ''[[Street Fighter II (Video Game)|Street Fighter II]]'': Follows the first half of the original game as Ryu goes to search for Akuma.
* ''[[Street Fighter II (Video Game)|Street Fighter II]]: Turbo'': The later half which features the tournament held by M.Bison. Closes out the "II" series.
* ''[[Street Fighter IV (Video Game)|Street Fighter IV]]'': A mini series that doesn't fully follow the game; it features a story in which SIN kidnaps several Street Fighters for experimentation. Crimson Viper, Abel, and Seth are the central focus of this story arc with some glances at other characters of the game. Also includes a sneak preview of Juri from ''Super Street Fighter IV''.
 
At the end of most of the issues (mostly those in Turbo) are short stories involving characters from ''[[Street Fighter III (Video Game)|Street Fighter III]]'' and ''[[Final Fight]]''. A ''[[Street Fighter III (Video Game)|Street Fighter III]]'' series has been hinted at for a future date.
 
'''Legends series'''
 
Comics that focus on one specific character. There are only three series so far.
* ''Street Fighter Legends: Sakura'': Focus on Sakura and her exploits. The first two issues follow her as she trains and help R. Mika against Zangief. The last few find her against her rival Karin, who goes to almost ridiculous lengths to try and beat Sakura. Features characters from ''[[Rival Schools (Video Game)|Rival Schools]]''.
* ''Street Fighter Legends: Chun-Li'': Centers on Chun-Li and her early days in the police academy. Features Dan and his father Go and their encounter with Sagat.
* ''Street Fighter Legends: Ibuki'': Starring Ibuki from ''[[Street Fighter III (Video Game)|Street Fighter III]]'' as she tries to live a double life as a ninja of her clan and a regular high school girl. Also features Makoto and Elena from the same game.

Line 29:
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Vega who gains the largest body count of a single character in the series, including Gen.
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: Cammy and Charlie at the start of the series, and Blanka and Dee Jay later on. Ken, E. Honda, and T. Hawk near the end of ''II Turbo''.
* [[The Cameo]]: In issue 9 of the Street Fighter II comic, [[Mega Man (Videovideo Gamegame)|Dr. Wily]] makes an appearance.
** Allen Snider from ''[[Street Fighter EX (Video Game)|Street Fighter EX]]'' makes a background appearance as one of the spectators in a fight between Ryu and Charlie.
** [[Lupin III]] appears in issue 2 of ''Turbo II''.
** In Haggar's fight with Zangief, there are many other ''[[Saturday Night Slam Masters]]'' characters in the audience.
Line 44:
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Plenty, the UDON crew really did their homework with this one. Many characters from the oft forgotten first game make appearances as well as Expy of original characters from the animated and the manga series.
** To mention a few examples, Charlie {{spoiler|[[Brainwashed and Crazy|becomes]] [[Marvel vs. Capcom|Shadow]]}}... temporarily.
** The place where Ryu goes to meet Dhalsim in India is the very stage from the [[Street Fighter II (Video Game)|Street Fighter II]] game!
** Cammy's simulation test {{spoiler|after she returned to Shadaloo}} is very reminiscent of her introduction in the [[Street Fighter II (Video Game)|Street Fighter II]] [[Street Fighter II: theThe Animated Movie (Anime)|animated movie]]. {{spoiler|Cammy's target has a resemblance to [[Take That|George W. Bush]].}}
* [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]: A large part of Cammy's eventual freedom from her brainwashing stems from Vega actively reprogramming her twice. Largely because he feels that beautiful people such as him and Cammy shouldn't have that done to them and partly because [[Spanner in Thethe Works|he just likes screwing around with Bison's plans]].
* [[Pro Wrestling Is Real]]: This series has it both ways; R. Mika's actual wrestling matches (i.e., the stuff that happens off panel) are scripted, while Zangief is baffled by the concept and has never heard of such a thing before. This has roots in SF canon; the series takes place in the same world as the Saturday Night Slam Masters games. Not only is wrestling real, but Zangief's old sparring partner Biff Slamkovich is upset that some people think it isn't.
* [[Reverse Mole]]: Cammy in II Turbo for the heroes side, {{spoiler|thanks to [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain|Vega's intervention]]}}.
** Ditto for Crimson Viper in IV.
* [[Shout -Out]]: In ''Legends: Ibuki'', a couple of cops mention a [[Ace Attorney|prosecutor named Edgeworth]].
** Haggar's backstory now includes passages paralleling [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]'s.
* [[These Hands Have Killed]]: Gen had no qualms with this until he was forced to kill Geki in front of a young Chun-Li. This ends up becoming the greatest regret of his life, and he swears to never kill again.
