Notes
[edit]- ^ a b c d Red Bull Kumite held their tournament each year unregularly, mostly before EVO and Capcom Cup. However the tournament was held after EVO in 2018[4] and even after Capcom Cup in 2019.[5][6]
- ^ a b In fact, Red Bull Kumite actually held two tournaments in 2021.[7][8] Since they didn't have a tournament in 2022, the second tournament of 2021 would be counted as the 2022 edition since the order of the Grand Slam tournaments stayed the same.
- ^ a b c d After the pandemic, specifically since 2022, Capcom Cup wasn't held in the actual calendar year, in fact was held in the beginning of the upcoming year.[9][10]
- ^ a b This was the first time Red Bull Kumite was held even before EVO Japan.[11][12]
- ^ During Daigo's consecutive titles, there was only one Grand Slam tournament created.
