As the Capcom Pro Tour takes a well-deserved break, the spotlight shifts from the 48 skilled participants of Capcom Cup 11 to the fascinating world of character selection in Street Fighter 6. With the World Warrior circuit behind us, EventHubs has provided an insightful look into the top-tier character usage, offering a glimpse into the game's balance. Remarkably, all 24 characters are in play, showcasing the diversity of the roster. However, a surprising detail emerged: among nearly two hundred top players, only one chose Ryu as their main. Even the recently introduced Terry Bogard found favor with two players.
The professional scene currently sees Cammy, Ken, and M. Bison leading the pack, each chosen by 17 players. A significant gap follows, with the next tier featuring Akuma (12 players), Ed and Luke (both with 11 players), and JP and Chun-Li (both with 10 players). Among the less popular choices, Zangief, Guile, and Juri stand out, each selected by seven players.
As anticipation builds, Capcom Cup 11 is set to take place this March in Tokyo, where the winner will walk away with a staggering prize of one million dollars. This event promises to be a thrilling showcase of skill and strategy, with players leveraging their chosen characters to claim the ultimate victory.
