Street Fighter 6 meta - which characters are most popular on top level

The Capcom Pro Tour has concluded, revealing the 48 competitors set to clash at Capcom Cup XI. While the spotlight usually shines on the players themselves, let's take a look at the character choices that defined this year's World Warrior circuit.

EventHubs compiled statistics on the most popular Street Fighter 6 characters used by top-tier players, providing a valuable glimpse into the game's balance. Remarkably, all 24 fighters saw some representation among the nearly two hundred players analyzed (including the eight finalists from each of the 24 regions). However, the data reveals some striking disparities: only one player chose Ryu, and even the recently added Terry Bogard was only selected by two.

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

Capcom Cup XI will take place this March in Tokyo, with the victor earning a life-changing million-dollar prize.
