So I've played a decent amount of online matches(100+ so far) and I've noticed that many of us are selecting from a small portion of the character choices. Maybe it's because we are comfortable with the classic characters, or the newer characters just don't compete well in ranked matches. Well here are the Top Four most popular and least popular Street Fighter IV characters online in ranked matches:

Most Popular: I have fought these characters multiple times in online ranked matches.

4. RYU

Least Popular: I have either never fought these characters or only fought them once in ranked matches.

4. C. VIPER

3. FEI LONG

2. EL FUERTE

1. DHALSIM

Close calls: Cammy, Dan, E. Honda
