Group Stage
Each group is pretty strong, but Group A is apparently the deadliest. Xiaohai is here, and he already has experience of winning the EWC for Street Fighter 6 in 2024. He is one of the best KOF competitors of all time, and switching to FATAL FURY is natural for such a legend.
Fenritti was among the best in DBFZ, and he has big plans in this new game. In Group B, it is also interesting to follow Reynald. His run at the Combo Breaker 2025 was phenomenal.
GO1 is the favorite of Group C. He is another DBFZ champion playing FATAL FURY. Nemo intensifies the Street Fighter vibes at the tournament.
In Group D, we have mok, who has some decent KOF results. Poongko reached a few top placements at FATAL FURY tournaments. Really close battles should happen here.
Four players advance to the playoffs of the FATAL FURY EWC from Day 1.
