In a stunning display of popularity, Street Fighter 6, the latest installment in the renowned Street Fighter franchise, has taken the gaming world by storm, smashing all Evo player count records.
The Evolution Championship Series (Evo) recently confirmed this monumental achievement, sparking excitement among fans and competitors.
While Evo has not disclosed the precise number of participants, it is evident that Street Fighter 6 has surpassed all expectations. This is considering the previous record set by Street Fighter V at Evo 2016, which boasted more than 5,000 registrants.
The enthusiasm surrounding Street Fighter 6 continues to grow as registration for Evo 2023 remains open for another two weeks. Scheduled to be held in the vibrant city of Las Vegas, NV, from August 4 to 6, this year’s Evo tournament is set to witness a historic gathering of skilled fighters.
This triumph for the Street Fighter franchise [1] marks a turning point, rejuvenating the series after Street Fighter V’s turbulent launch. While Street Fighter V provided memorable moments and intense matches throughout its lifespan, it struggled to shake off the limitations of its initial release.
On the other hand, Street Fighter 6 has delivered an extraordinary experience, garnering critical acclaim and drawing in a massive player base. As eloquently expressed by Moyse, Street Fighter 6 is a game that exudes excellence in every aspect.
The enthusiasm from the players further affirms its success, evident not only through the record-breaking Evo numbers but also in the recent CEO tournament, where MenaRD emerged victorious with the characters Luke and Blanka.
The CEO event witnessed an overwhelming turnout, further solidifying Street Fighter 6’s legacy in the fighting game community.
It is fascinating to contemplate the future trajectory of Street Fighter 6. Will it maintain this level of popularity as the initial excitement settles? Only time will reveal the game’s enduring legacy. This year’s Evo tournament is poised to leave a lasting impression on the gaming world.
