June 2nd, 2023 gave the world the sixth entry in the Street Fighter series! Fighters took to the streets and collectively accomplished quite a bit, so the game’s publisher CAPCOM decided to share some of the more interesting things that have occurred in-game during the first “year.” (The data was compiled until 4/30/24…so not quite a full calendar year).
So without much delay here’s a sampling that was highlighted:
Players have participated in over two billion battles with six million battles happening daily and 70 battles per second.
Players have collectively accumulated 170 million hours of playtime.
Fun Fact: In the aforementioned time, E. Honda can go around the Earth using his OD Sumo Headbutt 43,385 times. Please do not inquire about this calculation method as it is a secret.
Top three characters used in battle (outside of Arcade Mode) in order of most to least:
Ken – 265,678,704 times
Ryu – 171,578,448 times
Cammy – 159,248,536 times

Control Type Combatants:
75.6 percent of players use Classic
24.1 percent of players use Modern
0.3 percent of players use Dynamic

The top three most beloved (maxed out bond levels) Masters are:
Cammy
Chun-Li
Juri
