Evo 2024, the most important fighting game event ended last weekend and this year Street Fighter 6 was crowned the most popular game. This was thanks to a participation of 5,265 players. So, thanks to this, the analysis of the performance of the characters in the competition reveals interesting trends. For example, Ed and Ken dominated the Top 8, consolidating themselves as the most used characters in the competition.
Additionally, Rashid, the first DLC character of the first season of Street Fighter 6 (SF6) reached —at the hands of NASR|BigBird— the second position in the tournament. On the other hand, M. Bison, despite being the most recent DLC character, also shone in the tournament, reaching the fifth place thanks to the skill of the player Saishunkan|Nemo.
In contrast, classic characters like Ryu and Dhalsim have been relegated to the bottom of the table. This could be evidence that, despite the positive changes in the latest patch, these fighters still need some fine-tuning to stay competitive in the current meta, or that their players will need more time in the lab to get the most out of their current tools. But let’s take a look at where each character ended their career in the tournament. Street Fighter 6 from EVO 2024.
