Street Fighter 6 Meta: Top Character Popularity Revealed

The Capcom Pro Tour has concluded, revealing the 48 competitors for Capcom Cup 11. While the focus is usually on the players themselves, let's analyze the character choices of this elite group.

Following the World Warrior circuit's conclusion, EventHubs compiled statistics on the most frequently used Street Fighter 6 characters at the highest competitive level. This data offers a valuable insight into the game's balance. Remarkably, all 24 fighters saw representation, though only one player opted for Ryu out of nearly two hundred participants (including eight regional finalists from 24 regions). Even Terry Bogard, the newest addition to the roster, was selected by just two players.

Dominating the professional scene are Cammy, Ken, and M. Bison, each chosen as a main character by 17 players. A significant gap follows, with Akuma (12 players), Ed and Luke (11 each), and JP and Chun-Li (10 each) forming the next tier. Among the less frequently selected characters, Zangief, Guile, and Juri stand out, each serving as the main character for seven players.

Capcom Cup 11 is set for Tokyo this March, with a million-dollar prize awaiting the champion.
