Notes

  1. 1 2 3 4 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]
  2. 1 2 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.
  3. 1 2 3 4 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]
  4. 1 2 3 4 Red Bull Kumite was held before EVO Japan. [11] [12]
  5. During Daigo's consecutive titles, there was only one Grand Slam tournament created.
