Instead, this year, the most popular game at the tournament seems to be Arc Systems Works’ and Bandai Namco’s Dragon Ball FighterZ, which has 2,530 fighters.
Street Fighter 5 still took second place, with 2,421 registrations, while Tekken 7 saw year on year growth, with 1,504 entrants.
Smash Wii U had 1,303 registrants, while Melee almost matched it with 1,302 registrants.
Will things change next year, especially with a new Smash game, which presumably consolidates the audiences for Melee and Wii U?
