This weekend saw the Red Bull Kumite 2024 tournament take place. Live in New York, we saw a ton of the best Street Fighter 6 players competing directly against each other. This is our first major tournament since the Capcom Cup and one player absolutely dominated the final bracket.
This is how the Red Bull Kumite 2024 finals all went and what they’ve told us for the coming year of Street Fighter 6.

MenaRD began his run in the final bracket win a slight win 5-4 over Broski. He went up after against Gachikun, which went considerably smoother. MenaRD put an end to the Japanese players’ Kumite hopes of winning 5-1.
From here, MenaRD only continued to face the most powerful and best Street Fighter 6 players. He was up against Punk, with a slot in the Grand Finals at stake. While we were expecting two of the best active players in the game, MenaRD made things look simple with a clean 5-0 win. This put him through to the final, ready to face NuckleDu.
In the Grand Final, MenaRD continued to show his strength. In the end, the very last match-up was a clean win, 5-0. NuckleDu was defeated despite his huge run through the tournament up until this point.
Clearly, MenaRD was proven to be the strongest player at Red Bull Kumite 2024. Despite his 13-16th place at the Capcom Cup X, MenaRD is definitely still in the top tier. This is making things look interesting for the season ahead as we see the 2024 Capcom Pro Tour begin in earnest with more events soon.
Red Bull Kumite is coming up fast now, and we’re getting further details all the time. Most recently we’ve seen three more players get their invites for the tournament confirmed! These three are the last of our invited players. Anyone else will have to secure their spots through events like the Last Chance Qualifier. These are the three new players added to Red Bull Kumite 2024.

The last three invited players have been officially announced for Red Bull Kumite 2024. These are the final few to make the roster.
These three are particularly exciting as additions. We’ve got the winner of EVO Japan, along with a past Capcom Cup Winner. Calling out the recent Capcom Cup X Group Stage too, organizers have highlighted Leshar after his exploits at the tournament. While not the winner, Leshar did come out of top of Group F, probably the hardest opening round in the tournament.
These three will all be exciting additions to the Red Bull Kumite 2024 lineup. It’s heating up to be one of the most exciting Street Fighter 6 tournaments outside of the Pro Tour.

Red Bull Kumite is one of the most exciting Street Fighter 6 events coming up right now. It’s gotten a new branch added to the game recently too. A Red Bull Kumite Japan qualifier has been added to the roster. This will be a chance for a Japanese player to make the final roster for the tournament.
The Red Bull Kumite 2024 Japan Qualifier will be taking place on March 2nd. It’s an event with around 500 players competing all for a single slot. Last year’s Japanese portion of the Last Chance Qualifier was interesting, with Kakeru winning who went on to win the Last Chance Qualifier in full This year’s victor at the Red Bull Kumite tournament could go just as far!
The qualifier is taking place online. It’ll be a fun chance to see more competitive Street Fighter after the Capcom Cup X. If you want to follow along, it’s all going to be streamed on Twitch.
Red Bull Kumite is an annual event, but one with an elevated level of hype for Street Fighter. The latest tournament in the series, Red Bull Kumite 2024, was recently announced. It’s coming up soon, taking place in New York. The original announcement for the tournament confirmed one attendee but promised some of the biggest SF 6 players would be showing up. Now a bit closer to the tournament, we’ve gotten confirmation of a few more players.

Red Bull Kumite 2024 have been gradually teasing out the invited names to this new tournament. Organizers have just announced four more players who have been invited to the tournament, including some of the best active in the game. Who else is attending the new Red Bull Kumite 2024 tournament?
Red Bull Kumite is returning soon, taking place right in New York. Four more names have been announced for the new tournament, and it looks like one of the most stacked rosters we’ve seen. The first of the new names is Chris Wong. We’re also getting iDom, one of the stronger players from the first year of SF 6 and fighting game esports.

The next new player announced is going to be AngryBird. Last year’s EVO champion is still a dominant force in the game. The last of the new names is Hibiki, a newer player but it’s always fun to see emerging talent represented in events like this.
New players invited to Red Bull Kumite are showing the tournament is set up to be one of the most exciting. We’ll see how all these players rank against other when the tournament begins pretty soon.
Red Bull Kumite is a tournament series that’s had a long history in fighting games. This year, we’re getting a new installment in the series. Only the second to feature Street Fighter 6, the Red Bull Kumite 2024 tournament is the ninth in the series and the biggest so far.
We saw Red Bull Kumite make a comeback last year, to celebrate the launch of Street Fighter 6. In the time since we’ve seen the game go on to be a standout in the genre, one of the best fighting games. Now a year into its game’s meta, it’ll be interesting to see another Red Bull Kumite take place. A chance to see how players have changed and how the game has developed. How will the Red Bull Kumite 2024 event work?

The 2024 edition of the Red Bull Kumite tournament has just had its first details announced. The tournament series will be holding its newest installment early in 2024, with a cage match going on in Brooklyn. The series is moving to New York for this outing, a big contrast from the 2023 Red Bull Kumite location.
This tournament will be focusing exclusively on Street Fighter 6. 16 different players will be taking part in the tournament. The format is pretty unique here though. They’re playing in best of 9 matches, with a single elimination bracket. Unlike most tournaments, there’s no secondary bracket to rise back up. Once a player is out, they’re out. The players chosen will be determined by past performance, with invites going out to some of the best Street Fighter 6 players.
The final few players though will be decided by an open event. There will be. Last Chance Qualifier where 256 people compete to make the roster. We already know that last year’s winner Big Bird has been invited and we can expect similarly impressive names to make up the rest of the invites. The whole event is going to take place March 16-17th. If you can’t get to the event in person though, it’ll be broadcast online by Red Bull too. This will be a great tournament to restart competitive Street Fighter after we wrap things up with the Capcom Cup X next month.
