What is every character's archetype/play-style? (List included)

[Ereson]

I want to know what's the best way to classify each characters playstyle in Street Fighter 5, for example Ryu is a Shoto, Kage is a rushdown style shoto, Menat is a projectile Zoner, Zangeif is a grappler, etc. For some reason it seems impossible to find a complete list of this online.

Here are the list of all 46 playable characters:
Ryu, Chun-Li, Nash, M.Bison, Cammy, Birdie, Ken, Necalli, Vega, R.Mika, Rashid, Karin, Zangief, Laura, Dhalsim, F.A.N.G, Alex, Guile, Ibuki, Balrog, Juri, Urien, Akuma, Kolin, Ed, Abigail, Menat, Zeku, Sakura, Blanka, Falke, Cody, G, Sagat, Kage, E. Honda, Lucia, Poison, Gill, Seth, Dan, Rose, Oro, Akira, Luke, Eleven

F.A.N.G - setplay/pressure-heavy/semi-zoner (idk FANG is weird man)

Alex - semi-grappler w/ strong pokes

What would the characters listed with "momentum heavy" archetype be though?

Tbh I was having a hard time coming up with a better term for them

G is focused on leveling up his Presidentiality to buff his specials, damage, pressure etc. On paper, it seems like he has a tool for everything but it's not exactly the same in practice because he needs to level up to really be scary. His fireball notably is one of the worst in the game if he's at base level

Gill has similar specials and normals to Urien but how they function keeps me from calling him an all-rounder like his brother. Instead of crush counters, he has Retribution that activates through his fire/ice properties. With it, he has some of the best damage output in the game but it can be hard to get the ball rolling for him. It's why I just called him momentum-heavy

Good list. I'm going to play Luke from now on.

Yeah I can see why you're having difficulty describing these two characters archetypes. From the way you describe G, I'd probably call him an all rounder with a level up gimmick. Then for Gill he's an all rounder with an element switching gimmick.

Either way, thanks for all your effort.
