Player Data not detailed enough.

Just having a winrate in the Player Data section of the Street Fighter 4 menu is not detailed enough for me. If this data is going to be helpful to me, it has to have more information. So I decided to make a spreadsheet out of my match data.

Naturally, I can't back track and regain the data I need. On top of that, some of the data won't even fit in where I need it.

So I made the following guidelines regarding my spreadsheet data:

1) I will only add matches to the spreadsheet if I'm playing Chun. If I added it when I play other characters, non-seriously, the data tells me nothing.
2) If an online match is super laggy, I will not count it.
3) If a player ragequits, I count the match only if I'm about to win. Random disconnects or server errors do not count.
4) I count each character serparately, that way I know which matchups I'm needing work on.

With that done, I designed a spreadsheet with the data I wanted and needed to see, and went to it. So here's some of the details I have since making the sheet:

I have played 225 matches, and am currently winning 41% of the time.

My best matchup is Akuma, which I am winning 71% of the time.

My worst matchup is Balrog, which I am winning 6% of the time.

I am winning half my matches against console characters, with that being dragged down by Gen matches, which would be my second worst matchup. I am winning that matchup 12.5% of the time.

I am winning 40% of my matches against shotos. This stat needs to change.

Against the big two (Sagat, Ryu), I'm winning those matchups 50% of the time and 34% of the time respectively. Considering Ryu is at every tournament, this needs to change.

I am facing a shoto 42% of the time.

I am winning against arcade characters 39% of the time.

As I progress, I will show more of these stats. Unfortunately, right now the sample size of the other characters are too small to give accurate numbers for.
