zeth07 Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 I did this a while back on PSN at least, just to see the difference between end of CT > CS and at one point CS JPN release > CS US release (a few weeks AFTER it released in the US). Kurushii posted up the JPN PSN CS release numbers on Tauntloop at least back then. Now that I have it on both consoles and the CS2 patch being released, I figured I'd look to see what it's like now. PSN – BBCS – Character Usage / “Popularity” # of Players Who've Played Online = ~111,743 # of Players Who've Played Ranked = 89,436 # of Players Who've Played These Characters At Least Once In Ranked: Ragna = 43,696 Jin = 32,925 Hazama = 26,834 Noel = 24,114 Hakumen = 22,650 Tager = 22,628 Tsubaki = 18,654 Lambda = 18,555 Makoto = 15,490 *Has to be Purchased* Bang = 14,481 Litchi = 12,096 Taokaka = 11,840 Rachel = 10,610 Mu = 10,122 *Has to be Unlocked* Valkenhayn = 9,409 *Has to be Purchased* Arakune = 9,185 Carl = 5,554 Platinum = N/A XBL – BBCS – Character Usage / “Popularity” # of Players Who've Played Online = ~47,613 # of Players Who've Played Ranked = 36,324 # of Players Who've Played These Characters At Least Once In Ranked: Ragna = 16,983 Jin = 13,405 Noel = 9,438 Hazama = 9,079 Tager = 8,663 Hakumen = 8,329 Tsubaki = 7,281 Makoto = 6,763 *Has to be Purchased* Lambda = 6,628 Bang = 5,866 Taokaka = 5,379 Litchi = 5,141 Mu = 3,944 *Has to be Unlocked* Arakune = 3,889 Rachel = 3,661 Valkenhayn = 2,985 *Has to be Purchased* Carl = 2,408 Platinum = 1,791 *Has to be Purchased*
MAdBater Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 The popularity seem to have more to do with how easy they are to play opposed to tiers.
OmniSScythe Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 PSN Makoto = 15,490 XBL Makoto = 6,763 Outside JP where the heck is those cave dwellers!
Blade Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 I suggest you contrast it with how often people actually WIN with said characters...that,and Ranked is one thing, but I doubt those stats exclude the use of Unlimited characters.
Manta Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 It's only counting if a player has ever used a character ever in ranked. Most players will try Ragna and jin because they're basic, but that doesn't mean that they're that player's main. Then again, there's a LOT of ranga players online. Makoto too.
Jourdal Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 PSN Makoto = 15,490 XBL Makoto = 6,763 Outside JP where the heck is those cave dwellers! Lol i know right? Excluding you i've fought 3 Makotos.....
Manta Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Lol i know right? Excluding you i've fought 3 Makotos..... Really? Come to europe then, can't move in ranked for falling over the pesky squirrels.
zeth07 Posted June 1, 2011 Author Posted June 1, 2011 I suggest you contrast it with how often people actually WIN with said characters...that,and Ranked is one thing, but I doubt those stats exclude the use of Unlimited characters. That's obviously not possible so no point in even suggesting that. And I would expect you can't use Unlimiteds in Ranked so in fact those stats do exclude Unlimited characters.
Manta Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 Are these numbers global users or specific to one region?
PaladinxTogetic Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Hmm... I never knew there were that many Tsubaki Users. Ah well the more the merrier ^ ^
MAdBater Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 seeing that list makes me want to pick up carl but if i do it "will be long way up that hill." Also when i watch zong one i get the same enjoyment that i get from watching high level hakumen matchs
The Noble Clap Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 seeing that list makes me want to pick up carl but if i do it "will be long way up that hill." Also when i watch zong one i get the same enjoyment that i get from watching high level hakumen matchs 3 times easier than it looks. Really. You do get to look cool as hell and a mid-high tier spot in all games though.
YukiBlue Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) Mu = 3,944 EZ Modo wins the Day apparently. Although, I'd say for XBL Europe... Ragna Hazama Tager Noel Lambda I only really fight them. I fought 1 Makoto since CS2 came out. And not a single Carl / Bang Edited August 13, 2011 by YukiBlue
zeth07 Posted October 24, 2011 Author Posted October 24, 2011 Any more current info on this topic? Since I was currently playing the game when I saw this, I'll post up PSN's "info" at least. I'm not gonna do XBL now, but whenever I play on there again if I happen to remember this post I'll post the recent numbers. PSN - BBCS2 - Character Usage / "Popularity" # of Players Who've Played Online = ~135,720 # of Players Who've Played Ranked = ~109,116 # of Players Who've Played These Characters At Least Once In Ranked: Ragna = 50,000+ (reached the max # for the listing) Jin = 39,881 Hazama = 32,113 Noel = 30,248 Hakumen = 27,507 Tager = 27,457 Tsubaki = 23,376 Lambda = 23,194 Makoto = 18,982 Bang = 17,197 Litchi = 14,391 Taokaka = 14,166 Rachel = 13,012 Mu = 12,328 Valkenhayn = 11,614 Arakune = 10,894 Platinum = 8,006 Carl = 6,690 Poor Carl. That number will only get smaller in the next game when half the Carl players probably switch to Relius. The only "change" in the order is the fact that Platinum passed Carl, since last time Platinum wasn't out yet.
Star-Demon Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Maybe, but I bet a lot of those carls are True carls.

ZeroRaider Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 wow, didn't think there were THAT many more played on PSN.
Yggjrasil Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 It's the reason why I switched, plus my Xbox 360 was on it's last stand anyway.
Kurushii Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Jourdal brought a good point to me on this topic. You have to factor in people having multiple accounts on psn playing (course the same can be said about some people on 360). Either way only about 57% of total BBCS sales ever played online, about 6% of total buyers made a dustloop account, and about 1.5% subscribed to Jourdal's youtube. [NPD pages if people want to see numbers: 360 / PS3 ]

zeth07 Posted February 3, 2012 Author Posted February 3, 2012 Changes from Week 1 JP Release to Now: -Platinum passed Relius and moved up to #4 from #5. -Relius went down from #4 to #5. -Noel jumped up to #6 from #9. -Tager dropped down from #6 to #8. -Hakumen passed Tager just barely but stayed the same rank, these two are literally flip flopping and are extremely close. -Lambda is down to #9 from #8. -Valkenhayn passed Rachel going from #15 to #14. -Rachel dropped one spot from #14 to #15. -Everyone else stayed the same rank. -About 55k apparently in sales as of now (lolvgchartz). -So rough estimate would be ~65% or less of the people who bought the game have played online. -And one might say that ~13% of the people who bought the game watched the GodsGarden stream (7k viewers), but that's not exactly directly related so it is an even more rough estimate.
