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 examine the character choices of the elite.
Following the World Warrior circuit, 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 amongst nearly two hundred participants (data compiled from eight regional finalists across 24 regions). Even the recently added Terry Bogard was chosen by a mere two players.
Dominating the professional scene are Cammy, Ken, and M. Bison, each selected as the main character by 17 players. A significant gap separates this top tier from the next, which includes Akuma (12 players), Ed and Luke (11 each), and JP and Chun-Li (10 each). Amongst the less frequently chosen characters, Zangief, Guile, and Juri stand out, each selected by seven players.
Capcom Cup 11 is set for Tokyo this March, with a $1 million prize awaiting the champion.
