After launching Street Fighter 6, open the Menu and go to your Profile.
On the stats page (default page that opens), use the Z and C keys to navigate the sub menu on PC.
From there, navigate to the Matches Per Character sub-menu and you can look through your stats to see your winning percentages in all of the match ups and every phase of the game.
Here’s an example of how that page looks.
Once you’ve identified your problematic match ups, it’s likely a good idea to hit the lab and work on each one of them so that you can improve your win rates in the future.
