Data on character use within tournaments?

Classic Fighting Games Super Street Fighter II Turbo

Can anyone point me to data on character use within tournaments?

For example, I expect that you are more likely to encounter Ryu within a tournament than Cammy, but by what factor?

Nohoho posted some data regarding which characters win the most tournaments, but I can’t reverse that into numbers regarding general character use.

Can anyone help? This is for a project that I’m working on that will be beneficial (or at least interesting) to the community.

Many thanks in advance,

There is an easy way.
But the data isn’t complete.

It is to pull tournament info from youtube tournament vid postings.
Unfortunately, for many tournaments this is likely videos that were selected rather than all of them, so it’s going to omit data.

Steps:

  1. Go here: YouTube - ?supersf2turbo’s Channel?‎
  2. click on any video that corresponds to a tournament (example: [media=youtube]J2fJiMmFMlA[/media] for a match from “Super Street Fighter II Turbo Random 2on2 Matin In Kasugai50”
  3. click the “show more” arrow in the notes section
  4. record the tournament player/character data there

For the above example, it listed:
Random 2on2 031410

Kasugai 50
