As the Capcom Pro Tour takes a break and we gear up for Capcom Cup 11 in March, let's shift our focus from the world's top players to the characters they've chosen to master. With the World Warrior circuit behind us, EventHubs has provided us with fascinating statistics on the most popular Street Fighter 6 characters at the highest levels of play. These stats offer an insightful glimpse into the current game balance. Surprisingly, all 24 fighters in the roster have seen action, despite the large pool of nearly 200 players across 24 regions. Notably, only one player opted for Ryu, while the newest addition, Terry Bogard, was selected by two competitors.

On the professional circuit, Cammy, Ken, and M. Bison have emerged as the top picks, each chosen by 17 players. Following them, there's a noticeable gap before we reach the next tier, featuring Akuma with 12 players, and Ed and Luke, both with 11 players. JP and Chun-Li are not far behind, each with 10 players. Among the less popular characters, Zangief, Guile, and Juri have still managed to find their niche, with each being the main choice for seven players.

Capcom Cup 11, set to take place in Tokyo this March, promises an exciting showdown with a staggering million-dollar prize on the line. As we await this grand event, the character selections provide a clear picture of the strategic preferences at the elite level of Street Fighter 6 competition.
