Being able to work Microsoft Excel is awesome in trying to find out the most mundane of statistics. Before I give you this random stat, let me ask you a question: Do you do better on the Player 1 or Player 2 side? 

With the exception being DDR, I've tried to stay on the Player 1 side. I don't know why. Maybe it's because it's the default position if I'm a loner and am stuck playing games where I have to start on the left side. 

What I wanted to know is whether Player 1 or Player 2 was the more fortunate of sides for the Evolution 2011 series competitors in Super Street Fighter IV. In the Top 4 of the Evolution 2011 series tournaments, there have been 41 matches played, this includes the reset championship matches and the online tournament matches.

And the winner is ...





Player 2!

But it's not that big of a spread. Player 2 has won the match 22 out of 41 times. Player 1 has won 19 times.

When it comes to the championships, it's the Player 1 user that wins most of the time. But again, not much of a spread. It's 7-6. If you're wondering, Daigo Umehara was on the Player 2 side last night against Infiltration in the title match at NorCal Regionals 9.
