The atmosphere at Red Bull Kumite 2023 was electrifying. Taking place in Pretoria, South Africa, the Street Fighter 6 tournament – one of the first for Capcom’s five-star fighting game – pit 16 of the best fighting game players against one another in a high-stakes, single-elimination tournament. No losers’ bracket; just a go-big-or-go-home tournament with no shortage of memorable moments.
If you’re into Street Fighter 6, or some of the best fighting games in general, you’ll likely have heard of at least some of Red Bull Kumite 2023’s competing players. Pros like Leffen, Problem X, Oil King, and Mister Crimson took part, as well as Tokido, one of the most prolific Street Fighter players of all time.
