Which characters appeared the most in top 8s throughout this year's Capcom Pro Tour? Which two characters never made it at all? Let's look at the data
Last year, I compiled two different statistical articles focusing on character usage in Capcom Pro Tour tournaments for Street Fighter 5: Arcade Edition's Season 3 and later another one for the entirety of Season 3.5.
This year, we're going to do the same thing, but with no mid-season balance shakeup, it felt like it made more sense to simply wait until the end of the season (which is now) to bring out the data and take a look at how different characters have been faring throughout the year. Before we jump in to the data itself, though, let's go over some ground rules so you know exactly what this data is based on and what it does or doesn't represent.
