Top Characters in Street Fighter 6 Meta Revealed

The Capcom Pro Tour has taken a break as we gear up for Capcom Cup 11, and while we eagerly await the showdown in Tokyo this March, let's delve into the fascinating world of character selection among the top Street Fighter 6 players. With a staggering prize pool of one million dollars on the line, the choice of character can be a crucial factor in a player's strategy.

Following the conclusion of the World Warrior circuit, EventHubs provided us with insightful statistics on the most popular characters at the highest level of play. This data serves as a reliable indicator of the current game balance. Remarkably, all 24 fighters in the roster have been represented, showcasing the diversity of the game. However, in a surprising twist, out of nearly two hundred top-tier players, only one chose to main Ryu. Even the recently introduced Terry Bogard found favor with two players, highlighting the shifting preferences in the competitive scene.

Currently, the most popular characters among professionals are Cammy, Ken, and M. Bison, each selected by 17 players. This trio stands out significantly, with a noticeable gap before the next tier of characters. Akuma follows with 12 players, while Ed and Luke each have 11, and JP and Chun-Li are close behind with 10 players each. Among the less popular but still notable choices, Zangief, Guile, and Juri each found seven players willing to take them into battle.

As we look forward to Capcom Cup 11 in Tokyo this March, the character selections of the 48 participants will undoubtedly add an extra layer of excitement and strategy to the competition. With such a diverse range of fighters being utilized, the tournament promises to be a thrilling showcase of skill, strategy, and the ever-evolving meta of Street Fighter 6.
