Frosty Faustings XVI Sees Huge Registration Numbers

The February Frosty Faustings XVI tournament features quite a few of the biggest fighting games. We’ve seen a few of these lead the way in registrations so far. At the absolute top of the list are both Guilty Gear Strive and Street Fighter 6. Street Fighter dominating sign ups has been the case for pretty much all tournaments since the game was released! However, Guilty Gear Strive is definitely a bit more surprising. It’s great to see so much engagement still going on with Guilty Gear.

Just below those two, we get to two games receiving some of their first tournaments. Under Night In-Birth 2 has hit more than 450 sign-ups for a tournament taking place around its release date. GranBlue Fantasy Versus Rising is up there too, with more than 400.
