The most prestigious fighting game invitational tournament was held in Pretoria, South Africa. Red Bull Kumite 2023 saw some of the best fighters clash across two days of Street Fighter 6 action.
Red Bull Kumite returned in July 2023 as world warriors competed in South Africa – and Adel ‘Big Bird’ Anouche emerged victorious.
Held since 2015, the fighting game tournament headed to the southernmost tip of Africa for the very first time.
Since the original Red Bull Kumite, the event has been home to exciting match-ups and the very best Street Fighter players from around the globe – and the latest instalment, the first to be played on the newly released Street Fighter 6, was unmissable.
