An online-only international tournament of fighting games, which are notorious for having bad netcode? This is gonna be a disaster.

I suppose it will be better then nothing. Fighting games can have great netcode, way better than back in the day where it is near impossible to make it work, but on such a large scale we don't know if it will properly come together. At this point we have to take what we can get.

It is already a disaster that Corona is around, but this could lead to interesting drama

 

I am very interested to see how the net code will work, when it really matters.
