Japan's 20 best Street Fighter IV players

December 31, 2008 in Top List comments 6

User Azrael has posted a translation on the Shoryuken forums of the current world's best Street Fighter IV players. Hit the source to view 'em.

The highest ranking player has 130,915 points with a 86.24% win ratio, playing nearly 10,000 matches.

quote Azrael
"To give you a frame of reference, anyone in the 20,000's is a solid player at least - 30-40,000's is good enough to win tournaments and be the champ of an arcade with good comp, and 50,000 is enough for most people to say they have one of the best (insert character here) in the country, excepting the top 20 above of course."


quote
Meanwhile Capcom's s-kill's blog states: "What I'm most excited about is the nice spread of characters on this list. A fighting game is geared for greatness when, if you got the skills, you can beat anybody, no matter what the character matchup might be."

    I'm looking forward to playing this game.

    I think SFIV will single-handedly help arcades survive another year.

      Agreed, which is why I'm effectively pre-ordering the CE knowing I'm a huge SF fan.

    Man there's a whole lotta Sagat. Guess that's who we be rollin' with! Nice to see some of the new characters get some love, right now it's Crimson Viper and Abel.

    Shit, all we need is more local arcades and they'll be back in no time. Of course, they'll all need at least 4 SF4 machines.

    Daigo at #1. Looks like a brand new Street Fighter was all he needed to kick himself out of his, to put it very loosely, "slump."
