Arturo Sanchez won the first Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition tourney at Chinatown Fair earlier this week, staying to his style in beating Andre Lambert in the title match.

Stats of the title match are in the database.

The stats were fairly even, but something stood out as I had expected it to be; initial aggressiveness. Combined, both guys were 5 for 8 when getting the first hit and 6 for 8 when getting the first combo. Arturo was 3 for 5 and 4 for 5, respectively, in those two categories.

A .750 first-combo win percentage is fairly high, especially in the finals where play tends to be more conservative. But by all accounts, Arcade Edition leans toward playing aggressive. Expect the numbers to be somewhere along this realm.

Arturo's defense did play somewhat into his win. He got hit by a super attack to lose a round, and that was the only time he got hit by EX meter against Andre in the seven rounds played. Take out that one round, and Arturo was 6 for 8 on EX meters compared to Andre, who was 0 for 8.
