After starting to play For Glory 1v1 on Wii U more this Summer, I decided I wanted to find out for myself which characters were the most common. To do this, I recorded the characters I went up against for 520 separate For Glory 1v1 battles between late June and mid August. I figured others on this forum might be curious to see the results.
I typically played 10-20 battles in a sitting, mostly on weekends. To get a representative set of data, I only counted the first battle against each opponent. I also did not count battles where where I went up against an opponent I had already seen that play session, although this only happened three or four times in the entire survey. I did not make a special effort to avoid recording the same opponents between play sessions, so it is likely I have at least a few battles recorded with repeat opponents from different days/weeks. I am not a great player, so if there is a ranking system for this game then the data probably reflect players toward the "casual" end of the spectrum.
Below is a graph showing my opponents for these 520 battles. The raw numbers with percentages of 520 follow. I chose 520 for the total number of battles as this is 10 times the character roster (seemed like a good sample size).
