Notes:

-- As I was typing this out a lot of these guys were playing, so their BP/Match-Win ratio may be different by the time you see this. Rankings are calculated at the end of the day, so this is accurate as of midnight last night. Today's results may not effect the rankings that much, except Dashio might take the 19th spot, and Nemo might surpass Nuki.

-- For those who forgot, Battle Points (BP) are calculated for all those who use the IC cards. You get points for winning and lose points for losing. BP is scaled, so beating someone with far less BP only nets a gain of about 10-20 BP. Beating someone with more BP/about even level nets 100-200 BP. To give you a frame of reference, anyone in the 20,000's is a solid player at least - 30-40,000's is good enough to win tournaments and be the champ of an arcade with good comp, and 50,000 is enough for most people to say they have one of the best (insert character here) in the country, excepting the top 20 above of course.

-- If the percentage doesn't add to to the Match/Win math, don't blame me, blame Capcom. I just copied what was there on the mobile site.

-- There was about a week where Ojisan Boy overtook Daigo for the #1 spot, but Daigo has since reclaimed the top.

-- Obviously Sagat is dominating the top 20. A few months ago, there were a lot more Ryu's and Zangief's, but they've fallen off apparently.

-- If you want to search for match vids of these characters, try YouTube or Nico with their player name in Japanese, and maybe ストリートファイターIV / 4 or ストIV / 4. Note that the "IV/4" means to search for either "ストIV" or "スト4".

-- I've played against Aaruefu's Sagat a few times. He's good. His command of normals is awesome, but he can also play a good zoning game - he can take off 50% damage just through Tiger Shots.
