SF6 Ranked Leaderboard: Cammy's Top-30 Stranglehold Hides the Real Story
Cammy holds six spots in the Street Fighter 6 ranked top 30 this week — but the number that actually demands attention is 493, the total count of tracked Cammy players on the SF6 ranked leaderboard. Six top-30 slots from a pool that small is a conversion rate no other character on the ladder is touching right now, and last week's post flagged Cammy's density near the top as worth watching. With six players packed into the top 30, the population math behind that density is what turns a strong showing into something genuinely structural.
Cammy's Top-30 Stranglehold in SF6 Ranked
The six Cammy players currently holding top-30 positions are Alphen (#7, 2,050 MR), Railgun (#9, 2,029 MR), え る る (#13, 2,002 MR), Uchiha_FZ (#14, 2,002 MR), _Solomon (#17, 2,001 MR), and Zelos (#18, 2,001 MR).
| # | Player | Character | MR |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | Alphen | Cammy | 2,050 |
| 9 | Railgun | Cammy | 2,029 |
| 13 | え る る | Cammy | 2,002 |
| 14 | Uchiha_FZ | Cammy | 2,002 |
| 17 | _Solomon | Cammy | 2,001 |
| 18 | Zelos | Cammy | 2,001 |
Alphen and Railgun are clearly the upper end of the group, separated from the others by a visible gap. What's striking about the bottom four is how tightly they're clustered — four players between 2,001 and 2,002 MR, suggesting there's real resistance just below the 2,050 mark where most of this group is currently parked.
え る る is worth a separate look: 857,456 LP, the highest raw LP of any Cammy in the top 30, but only 2,002 MR. It's a clean illustration of how LP and MR diverge at Master — games volume and LP accumulation don't automatically translate into rating. GameIn_PC runs the same dynamic at #5: 790,690 LP, more than anyone else in the top five, but 2,053 MR puts them fifth. At this level, MR is the only number that matters.
How SF6's Most Elite Character Compares by Population
Six top-30 slots from 493 total tracked players works out to roughly 1.2% of Cammy's population reaching the top 30. No other character comes close to that ratio.
| Character | Total Players | Top 30 | Top 100 | Top 500 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cammy | 493 | 6 | 9 | 27 |
| Terry | 290 | 4 | 6 | 20 |
| Guile | 125 | 2 | 6 | 18 |
| Ingrid | 980 | 0 | 2 | 18 |
| Ryu | 742 | 0 | 2 | 23 |
| Ken | 702 | 0 | 3 | 25 |
The top-100 column makes the picture even clearer. Guile, with only 125 tracked players total, puts 6 into the top 100 — the same number Cammy's 493-strong field produces. Kimberly also matches that 6-player top-100 figure. Meanwhile Ryu (742 players) and Ken (702 players) have zero top-30 representatives despite their massive populations. The high-population characters are filling the broad middle of the ladder, not the summit.
The conversion gap isn't just about Cammy being a strong character — it's about who gravitates toward her. A smaller, more focused player base tends to concentrate skilled players, and Cammy's numbers fit that pattern hard. The top-500 picture reinforces it: 27 of 493 Cammy players reach that threshold, while Ingrid sends only 18 from nearly twice the pool.
The Ingrid Paradox: SF6's Most Popular Character with the Least Elite Reach
Ingrid is the single most-played character on the Parry Portal ladder with 980 tracked players — and she has zero representatives in the top 30, just 2 in the top 100, and 18 in the top 500.
Compare that to Lexx's character: Guile has 125 total tracked players, 2 in the top 30, 6 in the top 100, and 18 in the top 500. Guile matches Ingrid's entire top-500 count from one-eighth the population. That is not a marginal gap — it is a structural difference in who plays each character and at what level of commitment.
The obvious read is that Ingrid draws a wide casual audience while Guile pulls a narrower, more dedicated one. But 980 players generating no top-30 representation is a striking result worth examining more closely in a future deep dive. The distribution curve of Ingrid players versus Cammy or Guile players likely tells a story about skill concentration that the raw totals only hint at — this is a pattern Parry Portal will be returning to.
The Rest of the SF6 Top 30: Terry, Guile, and the Pack
Beyond Cammy, the top of the SF6 ranked leaderboard this week belongs to a familiar cast.
| # | Player | Character | MR |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lexx | Guile | 2,178 |
| 2 | Sizer21 | Mai | 2,126 |
| 3 | Heyypepito | Terry | 2,123 |
| 4 | Sayonara | Juri | 2,089 |
| 5 | GameIn_PC | Akuma | 2,053 |
| 6 | ANDREJ | Sagat | 2,052 |
| 7 | Alphen | Cammy | 2,050 |
| 8 | KUSANAGI | Terry | 2,048 |
Lexx remains the MR leader at 2,178 — a 52-point gap to #2 Sizer21's 2,126 on Mai. Terry is the character worth watching for conversion efficiency: four players in the top 30 from only 290 total tracked, with Heyypepito at #3 (2,123 MR) and KUSANAGI at #8 (2,048 MR) leading the way, plus Fararjeh at #26 and Dano at #28. That is arguably the second-best conversion story on the ladder right now, and with 6 Terry players in the top 100 and 20 in the top 500, the efficiency holds at every level of the standings.
Sayonara at #4 is Juri's sole top-30 representative this week despite Juri fielding 5 players in the top 100 — more than almost any other character. ANDREJ is doing the same job for Sagat at #6 (2,052 MR), the lone top-30 flag-bearer for a character that still converts respectably with 4 players in the top 100 from 267 total tracked. C. Viper also punches well above its weight: Rivarsal (#15, 2,001 MR) and TessTary (#23, 1,962 MR) give it 2 top-30 representatives from only 172 total tracked players, the third-best conversion rate among characters with multiple top-30 reps. And EXunspect_PC at #20 is Elena's only top-30 representative — Elena has just 107 tracked players total yet places 3 into the top 100, another small-population character punching well above its numbers.
This Week's Grinders and Active Win Streaks
2222 was last week's headline, and a 54-game win streak across 300 games played this week makes them the standout once more. It is the single most notable active run on the ladder right now and the benchmark every other player is measured against.
島風3150 is the second win streak worth tracking, sitting at 20 consecutive wins across 38 games this week. That is a tight, high-density run — more than half of the games in that window fed directly into the streak — and it is worth checking whether it extends further into next week.
On the volume side, 8,429 of the 10,094 tracked players were active this week, an 83.5% activity rate that speaks to how engaged the ladder is right now. The76Wave leads everyone in raw games played with 420 games and 200 wins (47.6%). Mowgliito logged 401 games and 205 wins — the most efficient of the volume leaders. ApoVelgio put in 400 games and converted 156 of them (39.0%); the sheer persistence there is its own kind of remarkable, regardless of the results.
The Cammy conversion story is the sharpest structural argument on the ladder right now. Check the SF6 ranked leaderboard to see whether those four players clustered at 2,001–2,002 MR start to break through, and keep an eye on 2222's profile — 300 games in a single week with a 54-game win streak is the kind of run that defines a ladder era.
