There's no doubt almost every Super Street Fighter IV tournament player has been in a situation where he or she needed to come up with a win.
It's the clutch situation.
Not all of my database is listed by round and situation, but most of it is, about 6,500 rounds.
My definition of clutch situation:
- 1. In Round 2, trailing 1-0, 30 seconds remaining in the round.
- 2. In Round 2 or 3, tied 1-1, 30 seconds remaining in the round.
Out of everyone in my database, more than 100 players have been in this situation at least one time, that's a shade under half of the players in my database. Only 14 players have been through these situations at least five times. Here's how they stack.

So, give it up for Filipino Champ, who has seemed to thrive the most in these situations.
Here's a guide to the statistics.
