Red Bull Kumite 2023, hosted in the South African city of Pretoria, did not disappoint as one of Street Fighter 6’s first pro-level tournaments.
During the single-elimination tournament, attended by some of Street Fighter 6’s finest players, we witnessed several surprising matches and results as the world’s best took their play to a global stage. One particularly standout upset saw South Africa’s Jabhi ‘JabhiM’ Mabuza best Hajime ‘Tokido’ Taniguchi (one of Street Fighter’s all-time greatest players) five sets to three, and he did so with a standard DualSense controller.
