In a recent update to the match-up chart for Street Fighter 6, some unexpected findings have come to light. Cat Cammy, a renowned player and data analyst, has compiled data from thousands of matches between top-ranked players to create the chart. The new update includes the recently released DLC character A.K.I., shedding light on her performance in the game's current meta.

Contrary to popular opinion among players, the data suggests that A.K.I. actually has several winning match-ups. The chart shows that A.K.I. boasts a win rate of over 50% against characters such as Chun-Li, Zangief, Dhalsim, Ken, Lily, Blanka, Juri, Marisa, and Jamie. Notably, A.K.I.'s best match-up is against Chun-Li, where she secures a 54.6% win rate.

However, it is important to note that A.K.I. does have losing match-up spreads against 10 other characters, resulting in an overall win rate of 49.2%. Nevertheless, these numbers could potentially change with a larger sample size or different variables.

Interestingly, the match-up chart also highlights Dhalsim as a formidable character in Street Fighter 6. With a win rate of 51.2% from a total of 13,421 recorded games, Dhalsim boasts the best match-up spread in the game. Notably, Dhalsim's dominance is evident in his performance against Zangief, where he has a commanding win rate of 34.89%.

The chart also revealed the underperformance of Ryu in Street Fighter 6. With a win rate of only 48.34%, Ryu struggles in the current meta. His winning match-ups are limited to Dhalsim, A.K.I., Juri, and E. Honda.

It's worth noting that Jamie, previously considered the weakest character in Street Fighter 6, has seen some improvement in this update. While his win rate stands at 48.44%, Ryu now takes the reins as the lowest-performing character with a win rate of 48.34%.

Overall, the match-up chart provides valuable insight into the current state of Street Fighter 6, utilizing data from top-ranked players in high-stakes matches. These findings serve as a resource for players seeking a better understanding of each character's strengths and weaknesses.

Cat Cammy's dedication to compiling and updating this match-up chart has been praised within the community. Players interested in showing their support can follow Cat Cammy's updates or consider buying her a coffee as a gesture of gratitude.

The release of A.K.I. and the subsequent analysis of match-up data add an exciting layer of depth to Street Fighter 6's competitive scene. As the meta continues to evolve, it will be intriguing to see how players adapt and utilize these insights to their advantage.
