Wonder what the most popular games are in the fighting game community? Check our stats page

Nice.

@2 Someone didn't read the list :)

So this tracker is a "USA Only" thing

This must be clearly, SFxT at third. The feature is broken for sure.

/sarcasm

Though, I am legit surprise BB isn't higher, but whatever.

"sfxt sux lol games dead sold my copy week 2"

LIARS, ALL OF YOU!

"Capcom sucks I'm giving all of my money to Namco for Free DLC"

Namco announces TTT2 sales weren't as good as they hoped.

FGC Hypocrisy

while it's a very neat feature, it's not something that needs a hotbat-short cut imo. It's okay for now, but after a few weeks, it might be better off in a sub-menu to give space for other useful stuff.

Also, no surprise here that SF4 dominates. I thought it would do even better tho. Might be due to EH opening up from Capcom only titles.

I hope we get the same with characters somewhere in the future :p

Damn, TTT2 has less players than 3rd strike???? wtf.

#7
Agree!

But I do believe TTT2 Sales had a lot to do with TTT2 unlimited in Japan. A lot of Japanese players just stuck to playing the game in arcades.

@Kurow

This is a world wide thing BTW. These figures are based off of everyone who's entered info into the Fight Tracker, regardless of the region they live in.

@#7 Vocal minority also springs to mind ^^

SSF4>The rest even though I like 3rd strike more

yo sfxt at 3rd? YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! Anyways this is pretty cool we knew ae/umvc3 where at the top....wish more people played bb :(

I love what Eventhubs is up to these days

lol cross tekken being shown love, poor Tekken players.

pretty much the exact order i expected

Eff SFxT. TTT2 needs mo love. :(

I'm also sad that VF5:FS is not as popular as I hoped.

Cool stuff. I wish ArcSys games had more love here though.

^
There to animeish so no love for them

Welp Eventhubs did start as a Capcom only website. Mortal Kombat, Tekken, Anime games, ect all have their own community sites.

@#18
Yeah, no love for VF. Sad, it's so good.

lol @ SFxT being 3rd
what happened to the haters who says their gonna sell/trade/dump their copy lol

3D fighters and anime games will never be popular in the FGC, because they aren't capcom fighters, and 3D fighters are boring to watch and more difficult to get into than most 2D fighters. I wish more people played arcsys games though. GG and BB are godlike.

^

I love GG but hate BB

@23 They're the same frauds that rode Harada's d*ck saying they were gonna support TTT2 and give Harada all their money because HARADA KNOWS HOW TO MAKE GAMES, TAKE NOTES CASHCOM/CRAPCOM!!! Yet they didn't trade sfxt because they actually were waiting for the fixes like everyone else and still played online because they still enjoyed the game, and didn't give Harada a cent of their money. In reality all the haters and whiners complaining about capcom and sfxt are the company's biggest supporters, and this ehubs tracker shows it.

@25
I second that.

BB is terrible. Hopefully the new game will be less annoying. Still has that annoying chick as the announcer with a loud ass "COUNTER!!"

So, lemme get this straight, BB, a game with 351 [statted] players, in 12th place, gets 4 updates / lots of DLC, but...

mutha$#&*ing-waited-a-decade-this-is-MAHVEL-BABY 3 is done, with 1 update, and 2 DLC characters that were on the disc!?

@9

A lot of people are just posers.

EDIT: And when are people going to realize that a fighting game having anime graphics does not mean it is a bad game at its core? Most haters have never even touched these games. Hate the graphics all you want, but don't mark them as overall crap because of that.

This is a very small database of players.

@25 Haha, so true.

Cross third only because its basic mechanics almost similar to SF4. Easy to get in for SF4 player.

#18

Why? VF has never been popular outside of Japan.

And right on @ #23.

Since this site is based in USA, the overall Eventhubs user base would have a lot of USA users. Anyway, SSF4 being at the top is no surprise, as well as UMVC3 being in 2nd place. I'm a bit surprised about 3rd Strike being in 4th place but, come to think of it, that game would be played by the hardcore players and only a very small number of casual players would play 3rd Strike. However, look at SFxT, currently in 3rd place. I'm pretty sure that some people were saying that 'no one plays SFxT'. You can't argue with the facts now, people. Too sweet!

Everyone quick start playing Skullgirls, TTT2, Blazblue, and Guilty Gear. After we bump those up we can get to those other games.

LOL I don't have SFXT or UMVC3 them game suck and lol at the people who talk crap and have the game you will end up buying injustice god among while talking crap about it.

well the persona 4 arena numbers are wrong because the game is not out in EU yet :/

Happy to see 3rd strike in 4th. But the fact that SFxT is 3rd makes me disappointed with the FGC lol

I wouldn't call it a popularity chart, more what a person's skillset is. I guess that's why games with a smaller active scene still score highly.

When it comes old fighters I still play samurai showdown 6,and tmnt tournament fighter on a weekly base. When will ggpo have those games to play.

^

It won't matter the game still won't sell well

My last comment was for @37

TT2 being 5th is actually great, a lot of Tekken players are on other sites dedicated to the series itself and really I wouldn't expect many non Capcom games to be any higher on this site.

^

Capcom game are always higher then any other game in a fighting game community

SFxT is "up there" (33% is decent for a current title I suppose) mainly because it is has a huge amount of fan appeal from being a crossover title with a roster of characters people love.

It's impressive to see 3rd Strike at 25% despite its age.

TTT2, I'm a little surprised it's not higher. Any ideas why it has suffered?

KoF13 - I'll go ahead and say that 16% is respectable for a game that isn't featured much.

Persona 4: Arena - Probably far more popular in Japan than it is in the US or Europe.

Mortal Kombat 9 - Kind of a bad game. Not really living up to the hype/expectations.

Skullgirls - 10% is impressive for an indie.

SSF2THDR - Old, so it's low, but I'm not surprised it is rounding out the top 10.

MvC2 - Old and broken (though that's why it's still played I think).

BlazBlue - Another Japanophiles only title?

Soul Calibur 5 - No idea about this one. Why has it tanked so far?

SSBB - See SSBM, except you randomly trip sometimes.

Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus - No idea on this one either. Too old/Japan only? Anyone have ideas why this isn't still a big player?

SSBM - The party game they stripped 80% of the game mechanics out of and tried to call it a fighter. Doesn't really belong on this list. SSBM fans: by all means, have your fun, but don't expect to be taken seriously in the FGC at large.

VF5 - Too old to be higher on the list.

DOA5 - T&A only sells so much. Sad to see a new title fall this far, but it really doesn't merit being any higher than this.

SSF2T - Older than a large percentage of the FGC, I suspect.

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale - Someone tried to turn Smash Bros. into an actual fighter. Did not succeed.

Tekken 6 - Probably just old, plus competition from the current Tekken title. Anyone got any insight on if T6 was a bomb for some reason?

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom - Good game, but the cast features a lot of obscure characters, leading to a lack of continued interest outside of Japan, I imagine.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure HD - Old, and really, really obscure. Goofy characters. Solid gameplay though, shame to see it so far down on the list.

MvC Origins - Massively overshadowed by other Marvel titles.

I actually like sf x t

It's really an oddball game from capcom but I like the possibilities in the game and how you have to rely on footsies to get in.

Can't wait for ver 2013. Sick of the time outs, but that's it

Oh wow... more people play Skull Girls and Mortal Kombat than Soul Calibur V, that really disappoints me.

Good sh!t Eventhubs, this website keeps getting better and better

The new features are great! Too bad there's not that much Persona representation :(

LOL not surprised people were speaking out of their ass that they will support TTT2 because of how Harada "is doing things right" yet game is behind sfxt,aka the game the fgc loves to hate. Note im not insulting the game TTT2 as a whole, just how overly hyped the game was

Marvel should be higher :P

^

Marvel suck SSF4 is it daddy

This is a Capcom site at heart so there's no reason for people to try to rationalize the obvious, but it's cool to see what other fighting games beside SF4 and MvC3 people are interested in.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZJ7xm...

SSF4 AE 2012 is king!

^

Hell Yeah!!! :D

To be fair, I'm not surprised seeing this since most people on this site do play Capcom games. The lower rated games actually have a far greater fanbase along with other reasons, so it's for certain no one should broaden this as the entire FGC like most are doing now.

Besides that this is pretty sweet of EH to do this, to see what games are popular in this community. It would be awesome to see these kinds of improvements to the site gradually.

AE all the way!

yeah its kinda obvious that the Capcom games are the most popular fighters and they will always be. They have that wide appeal that other games don't have. Not saying they are amazing though. Also the fact that Eventhubs is mainly a Capcom website. While other games have there own website(Dream Cancel, Testyourmight, Dustloop, 8wayrun, etc)

I'm still a KOF/anime player at heart though and no matter what stats say I will still play them.

Loving the frequent additions to this site, great to see what most eventhubers play and what's popular. Thank you!

And I thought SFxT is viled. o_o

It's even more surprising that TTT2 is even lower than 3rd Strike after hearing a lot of people saying how awesome it was.

This is a great feature.People that are focused on other games can learn that there's more on the horizon.

Players still hating on Marvel? That's so 2011. Deal with it.

I'm pretty sure that if KOFXIII had a good(playable)netcode,it would be third.I still have my copy and refuse to sell it....V_V.But I may have to consider it for SFXT.The hype people are showing for the balance patch has me intrigued.

There's lots of fighters to chose from.Enjoy them ....free of hate.

This tells me that:
- Capcom needs to update SSFIVAE.
- Capcom needs to update UMvC3, by twisting Marvel's arm if necessary.
- Capcom needs to drop SFxTK in favor of SSFIVAE and UMvC3.
- Capcom needs to consider 3rd Strike a rightful sequel to SF2 instead of a missed attempt.
- Namco needs to amp TTT2 to make more appealing.
- SNK Playmore should make either KoF14 or Samurai Shodown 7.
- Atlus and Arc System Works need to release extra characters for P4A.
- NetherRealms needs to focus on Injustice to make it surpass MK9.
- The Skullgirls team needs to be get back on track.
- Capcom should remake more HD-sized 2D games.

What a surprise the newer games have a bigger fanbase than the older one lol Only thing which did is the amount supposely playing 3s (Doesn't seem it, I love 3s btw)

Cool feature though btw EH

Nice :) Can't wait for teh SFxT update

People who play AE/Capcom games are attracted to this site.

Comparing each game sales to the size of each game community would tell if Capcom game fans are the just the loudest/most active online.

Then finally comparing these stats to the one before would tell how well EventHubs is reaching the "FGC".

@#56 SJ mentioned it well: Tekken fans visit TekkenZanpakuto, MK fans to TestYourMight... 'capcom' fans visit EventHubs

The lesson is for EventHubs to not make its traffic seasonal or rather limited. It should try to reach and represent a better junk.

People are begging in the TTT2 section for frame data. Where's the love? If I'm a Tekken fan, why visit this site.

Stats are stats in the end: thanks for sharing.

For all the sh!t talkin surroundin SFxT I see cats is still gettin it in heavily lol I knew I wasn't the only one still playing. I mean...I suck...but still.

@66

Its still no denying that Capcom fighters are the most popular fighters out there right now. But i find it silly to have stats of the most played game in a site that has mostly Capcom fans. If you do the same at dustloop BB will be first, P4 will be 2nd, GG in 3rd, then Capcom fighters down the line.

And I agree with you on the guides if I'm a BB player your better off going to dustloop and looking for a guide for Ragna then go here.

reason sfxt is up there is because a lot of the sf4 players bought it, gained some skill at it and just put it on their profiles. I doubt many of them play the game. That is the case in my situation anyway.

@68

But there community is so little no matter what in a fighting Capcom tops them all.

LOL at some comments. This is originally a Capcom oriented site, so seeing some games like TTT2 and KoFXIII that high is nearly miraculous.

And another LOL at the sales arguments, as if Smash Bros was a commercial failure.

I expected some gems here, I was NOT disappointed...

@70 Didn't I say that Capcom games dominated a while a go?

@59

yeah its kinda obvious that the Capcom games are the most popular fighters and they will always be. They have that wide appeal that other games don't have.

I'm just saying that this being a Capcom site helps the poll ever moree.

#70

oh please, fighter game genre in general should not be so boastful about claiming their sub genres are puny when a typical jrpg/rpg or fps would dwarf fighter community easily that its not even funny at this point

It scares me to see SFxT to be high on that list.

Me gusta. Me gusta mucho.

Now, we finally have the stats to say that it's not dead.

I'm surprised at Third Strike placing higher than TTT2.

BTW eventhubs team, does this feature really need to be so prominently placed? Can't it be just a link you could glance at when you are looking at your fight tracker profile or something? It's interesting but putting it where it is right now seems a bit disproportionate to me.

@wonzan

This area will be expanded... greatly, with time. Stay tuned.

@79

Even though you are making a valid statement. Does it even really matter enough to be mentioned? Simple life i guess.

SFxT on 3rd, excellent. With more tech being found, the update coming near, and SF25 finals around the corner, this game could only be stronger.

Also, just used the fight tracker system. So useful!

What is the point of this particular feature, to make capcom haters angry?

I knew everybody loved SFXT secretly. They were just too ashamed to say it out loud because they would be judged by other hypocrites.

btw, I love that banner! should be featured the week that tournament happens; only for big ones of course, evo, sb, cc etc.

SFxT in 3rd place and both Persona 4 AND SKullgirls higher than BB and Soul Calibur? Anyone who's been around for a while knows this doesn't make any sense.

While i personally dislike SFxT, its good to see people support it despite the hate. These stats prove that alot of the people going around bashing it every article secretly play it lol.AE and Marvel is no suprise. Although the lack of Persona love on this site is saddening, same with BB.Wish people would show these games more love:/.

SFxT haters in the closet...

Just come out already... Ain't no one mad at you.

Cool new feature.

Another feature that would begreat is a comment reply function so we don't have to do

#2

#18

#33

@ CammyFan

etc.

As a Third Strike player who also plays SFIV, this is great news! Third Strike is alive and well. Excellent! It explains why I can always find matches on Xbox Live.

SF 3rd strike is still kicking butt all these years

People are taking these stats out of context & underestimating how large the "FGC" actually is.

This is a poll on an American website, that just recently stopped being exclusive to Capcom fighters. It's also a miniscule sample size of players even for the FGC of America. A high school prob & stats class would even be able to tell you these results aren't reliable. Just saying don't take this too seriously.

@92
Thought KOF would have had a bit more love. MK sounds about right.
SSF4 no doubts about that. UMVC3 was quite suprising.

Not surprised by the results.

But not enough Persona love.

Not gonna lie, I was disappointed with TTT2 sales myself, especially after the FGC did nothing but bash Ono and praise Harada nearly every day until the game's release, saying they would support it because of all of the service. Unlike most, I kept true to my word, and pre-ordered. I would have paid so much more for TTT2 considering its oodles of content.

Im not surprised TTT2 is under 3s, everyone talked that game up like it would remove SFxT when it ended up falling under the bus, even with its great release and free dlc, whereas SFxT had the worst release for a fighter yet, along with poor dlc options and really poor PR. I still like SFxT, and I still main the game, and every single day that passes I feel more and more like its worth it that I stuck through the FGC's hate machine.

I think that the Eventhubs community and therefore the Eventhubs fight tracker is biased towards capcom games. Tekken and MK players, for example, are still probably more likely to frequent other sites. That's not to say that Tekken still wouldn't finish beneath SF and Marvel. With Eventhubs including all fighting games now and with great features like the fight tracker, I expect more and more non-capcom fans will find their way over to this site.

Are you all stupid? Did you read how this data is collected? It's just based on whether or not you rated your skill in a game on the Fight Tracker. I rated my skill for ever fighting I ever "played" not am currently playing or play. So basically everyone rated their skill in AE even me, even though I don't own the game or travel to tournaments, same thing with Marvel, I rated my skill in it but I don't play it seriously. That's where this poll is BS.

That's why you see SFxT and 3rd Strike up there when no one actually plays them.

The Real Order is;

AE
Marvel
Tag 2

#85 agreed. that banner looks cool and informative
