Meanwhile, the most popular fighter almost had more than 2nd and 3rd place combined
Street Fighter 6 tournaments have been going down for nearly six months at this point, and while parts of the meta are certainly still developing / evolving, others are seeming a bit consistent.
Almost 550 players flew out to France this weekend to take part in SF6 at the Ultimate Fighting Arena 2023, and now that the action is gearing up for its final day, we’ve gone back over the results to see which characters are seeing the most and least amount of play.
Luke continues to be looking strong at large majors lately, but this time around may be one of his biggest to date.
Out of the top 96, 17 competitors are maining Luke, so that’s almost 1/5 people on the new protagonist in the upper brackets for a game that now has 20 characters on the roster.
Meanwhile, JP and Cammy combined just barely beat him out in terms of numbers with 10 and 9 respectively though some other fighters are having a good time too.
There’s a total of eight characters seeing statistically average or above amounts of representation at UFA, and that includes the likes of Zangief, Rashid, Chun-Li, Dee Jay and Ken too.
We even have one A.K.I. in the top 96 thanks to VCGO|Kitsune971 as well as multiple Ryus, which is nice to see.
In fact, there was only one character who apparently failed to make the cut off here for finals day, and that is unsurprisingly Lily.
Mouz|Problem X is still in the tournament, but he dropped her for Marisa multiple months ago, which is looking like a probably good decision at this point unfortunately.
With 540 players signed up for SF6 at this event, that makes this top 96 represent the top 18% of competitors still in the game.
