Action is truly heating up in New York as Red Bull Kumite 2024 is reaching the climax of day one action. This includes the always-vicious Last Chance Qualifier as players from all over compete for the final spot in the Kumite itself.
The LCQ is finishing up as of the writing of this article, but we do have the characters used for all of the top 32 bracket. Continue on to see which SF6 fighters saw the most action at the event thus far.
Some of the usual suspects are amid the top as we’ve seen both Luke and JP used by three different players. Juri and Guile are equally present, but we do have to point out here that all three Lukes are in the winners side of the top 8 bracket of the LCQ.
In a somewhat surprising turn of events, relatively new DLC character A.K.I. is tied for second most popular along with the likes of Ken, Dee Jay, Ryu, and a few others. Each of these characters have been used by two different players.
There’s actually quite a lot of diversity amid these 32 placements as only four characters (Ed, Lily, Zangief, and Marisa) didn’t see any representation at all. When it’s all said and done, 17 out of 21 is actually a really strong look for the game.
