S Factor, formerly known as Smash Factor, is back for its 12th installment and it’ll be taking place in Puebla, Mexico.

The main event here is Super Smash Bros. Ultimate which topped more than 1,000 entrants for a massive bracket. Street Fighter 6 was next in line with more than 200 participants followed by Super Smash Bros. Melee which fell just short of the 200 mark. Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves surpassed 170 signups while Rivals of Aether 2 and King of Fighters 15 both also crossed the 100 threshold.
Other tournaments which went over 50 players were Mortal Kombat 1, Guilty Gear Strive, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and finally Super Smash Bros. 64 hit exactly 50 names. There will also be tournament action for Tekken 8 and Samurai Shodown.
Also worth noting is that this is a SNK World Championship qualifier for both Fatal Fury: City and the Wolves as well as Samurai Shodown so hopefuls to get to the finals have shown up to grab that first placing along with its qualification spot.
Streaming is being done at VG Boot Camp, VG Boot Camp 2, Smash Factor Gaming, JWonggg, Warner Play Latino and Dinasty MX.
