Ultra Street Fighter IV Comes Up Big, Guilty Gear Narrowly Trails Marvel in Early Final Round 18 Registration Numbers

Ahead of this weekend’s event, the organizers behind Final Round 18 have released some early registration numbers for the various fighters that make up its official lineup.

While Ultra Street Fighter IV obviously tops the list due to Final Round’s status as a Capcom Pro Tour premier event, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- round out the top three, only separated from each other by a couple of players.

After that, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 comes in at a respectable fourth thanks to the south’s continued support of the Bandai Namco franchise, and the hype behind Super Smash Bros. for Wii U gives it a spot in the five most populated titles.

Unfortunately, it’s not all good news. Injustice: Gods Among Us continues to see flagging competitive numbers, joined by King of Fighters XIII as the two games with the lowest numbers.

All this said, Final Round 18 allows players to register at the door, so it’s possible we’ll see some shifts in these statistics come Friday.

Final Round 18 is scheduled for March 20-22 in Atlanta, Georgia. More details are available through the official website.
