The latest online stats feature a whole lotta Ken
Capcom has recently updated their monthly online stats for Street Fighter 6. Every month, we see the previous month’s data uploaded onto the official Street Fighter 6 website, which shows both the character usage information and battle stats.
The February 2024 Street Fighter 6 online stats are now live, and the character popularity numbers are showing something very interesting — albeit, it’s probably not the most surprising revelation. The fiery Shoto fighter, Ken, was insanely popular last month and he is absolutely dominating the charts.
Capcom’s Buckler’s Boot Camp section on the game’s website houses the latest stats. These online statistics focus solely on ranked matches, which is likely done to mainly factor in bouts where players are most likely to be playing seriously and competitively.
The numbers are broken down into all kinds of sub-categories, from the “All” option that includes all ranks and both controller types, to specific filters that help narrow things down further. Essentially, you can see how represented a certain character is within individual ranks, what their Modern Controls representation looks like, and more.
Looking at the stats for last month, though, you’ll be quick to notice something right out of the gate. Ken is mad popular, and he’s so popular in fact that he holds the #1 spot overall when taking into account all metrics.
Going even further beyond that, Ken takes the #1 most used spot in six out of the eight listed ranks when factoring in all control types. He is the most used in ranks Bronze all the way through Master (Legend isn’t shown in these stats), with Juri being #1 for the lower two ranks — Rookie and Iron.
Once again when factoring in all ranks and control types, Ken has a 13.32% usage rate, while the second placer, Luke, sits with just a 9.51% rate. The gap between Ken and Luke versus the one between Luke and the #3 placer, Ryu, is also quite substantial, further showing just how much Ken is being used right now.
This probably isn’t the most surprising fact as Ken is generally one of the most used characters in Street Fighter games, and we saw him in the top 3 for usage a lot back during Street Fighter 5. He has also had several months here in Street Fighter 6 where he has been the #1 most popular, and his streak continued last month.
With these being the February stats, latest DLC character Ed is also included in the usage ratings. That being said, he was only available for a couple of days before the month’s end, which is reflected in his current usage stats as he sits 13th overall with a 3.02% usage rating.
There’s a lot more to learn and analyze from these stats, so be sure to check out the full numbers over on the official Street Fighter 6 website.
