Top Tier Street Fighter 6 Characters Dominate Meta

As the Capcom Pro Tour takes a pause, the focus shifts to the characters chosen by the top 48 competitors of Capcom Cup 11. Instead of spotlighting the world's best players, let's delve into the Street Fighter 6 characters that are making waves at the highest level of play. Following the conclusion of the World Warrior circuit, EventHubs has provided insightful statistics on character popularity among the elite, offering a glimpse into the game's balance. Remarkably, all 24 fighters are in play, but a surprising trend emerges: out of nearly 200 players, including the eight finalists from 24 regions, only one competitor opted for Ryu. Even the latest addition to the lineup, Terry Bogard, found favor with two players.

Currently, the professional scene is dominated by three characters: Cammy, Ken, and M. Bison, each chosen by 17 players. Following them, there's a notable gap before we reach the next tier of popular characters, featuring Akuma with 12 players, and Ed and Luke, both selected by 11 players. JP and Chun-Li also hold strong with 10 players each. Among the less popular but still significant characters, Zangief, Guile, and Juri stand out, each being the main choice for seven players.

With Capcom Cup 11 set to take place this March in Tokyo, the stakes are high, as the tournament's winner will walk away with a staggering prize of one million dollars. As the competition heats up, the choice of character could be a crucial factor in clinching that coveted title.
