Surprising Street Fighter 6 Character Stats Revealed
Discover the top Street Fighter 6 characters dominating the competition! Using data from Capcom's latest fighting game release, we reveal the most popular characters that players can't get enough of
Ken, a beloved character among fans, has emerged as the top choice among players in Street Fighter 6. The game's launch has been met with resounding success, surpassing 1 million total players worldwide in a short span of time. Critics have lauded the game for its exceptional gameplay and diverse roster, which features a blend of classic and contemporary characters. With this new data, it's clear that Ken remains a fan favorite and a force to be reckoned with in the world of Street Fighter.
Most Popular Street Fighter 6 Characters
Reddit user geco_420 compiled data from the Street Fighter 6 official website to create a chart of the game's most popular characters. The chart is based on character rankings and Capcom IDs and includes a sample size of 454,453 IDs. According to the chart, Ken is currently the most popular character, followed by Ryu, Cammy, Marisa, Manon, Juri, Zangief, Luke, Jamie, Dee Jay, JP, Kimberly, Chun-Li, Lily, E. Honda, Guile, Blanka, and Dhalsim.
It may come as a surprise to some Street Fighter enthusiasts that Dhalsim isn't ranked higher, given his reputation as one of the game's top fighters. Additionally, he's been a staple character in the franchise since the inception of Street Fighter 2, making it all the more unexpected that he's being overshadowed by newer additions to the roster.
It has been brought to attention by geco_420 that the reported numbers for Street Fighter 6's cover star, Luke, may not be entirely accurate due to him being the default option in the game. This means that the numbers for Luke may include those who aren't actually playing the game online. geco_420 speculates that this could potentially add an extra 1,000 Capcom IDs to Luke's count, but even without these numbers, his ranking would remain unaffected as he still falls behind Zangief and maintains a lead of about 1,000 points ahead of Jamie. It is possible that the popularity of characters in Street Fighter 6 may shift as more fans play the game, but the addition of DLC characters by Capcom is not likely to have a significant impact on the rankings.
Street Fighter 6 is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
