This year, Brussels Challenge is part of several world tours. It’s a Challenger Tier event for the Tekken World Tour and it’s also a stop on the SNK World Championship for Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, King of Fighters 15 and Samurai Shodown.
On top of that, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves is looking extra stacked with talent because there just so happens to be two Esports World Cup spots up for grabs, meaning that there’s a chance to qualify for the chance of a very, very large of sum of money later this year.
As far as entrant numbers go, Street Fighter 6 leads the charge with just under 130 participants followed by Tekken 8 at around 80 signups and then Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves with more than 70 players.
Guilty Gear Strive fell just short of the 50 registrant mark while 2XKO, King of Fighters 15 and Samurai Shodown all surpassed 30 signups.
There will also be tournament play for King of Fighters ’98, Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2, BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising and Invincible VS.
Streaming is being done at Reversal GG, Team Spooky, Ken Bogard, RBTF Ixpé and Vlaiir.
