Capcom Pro Tour 2024 Super Premier Singapore started with nearly 400 entrants raring to clash in Street Fighter 6, but after a full day of fighting that number has dwindled down to just 96. We’ve been keeping track of the action to note not only who places where, but also which characters are being used.
We’ve rounded up character usage for all but one of the top 128 players, and are happy to report that every single one of SF6’s 24 current roster members did see some play time. That said, some saw much, much more than others.
We recently examined who the top three strongest characters in Street Fighter 6 might be here in the latter half of Season 2, and in that story we also included major offline win and top eight appearances for each character.
Ken, Ed, Luke, Rashid, and Cammy have seen the most top 8 appearances, respectively, while Ed, Blanka, Guile, Ken, and Cammy have won the most events, respectively. When it comes to tier lists from notable players, the sample is still relatively small but the consensus is that Ed, Rashid, Cammy, and M. Bison are the best. Akuma, Zangief, and Ken are then tied for a potential fifth best character slot.
With all that in mind, we turn our attention to the results from the relatively large offline event going on in Singapore right now. The usual suspects are amongst the most popular picks as Akuma and Bison lead the pack with 18 unique uses each.
Ed, Ken, and Cammy make up the next tier with 10 uses (though Ed was also featured once as a secondary choice) while Rashid only popped up six times. The Arabian combatant is indisputably strong, but he is on the more technical side and so may not be as appealing to players who don’t want to spend a ton of time in the training room.
Newcomer Terry, who hasn’t been regarded as all that great thus far, was used just one time by a top 128 competitor at the event, and thus is in company with Ryu, Marisa, and Dhalsim.
Check out the full listed usage stats below and let us know what you think of the game’s general balance and popularity spread in the comments. We’ll likely run another stat story once Super Premier Singapore has concluded so we can see which characters made it the farthest, but we’d love to hear your predictions now before that information is out.
