Every year FightRise.com and the FightRise Discord ( http://fightrise.com/discord ) fundraises for a charitable cause. We've raised over $10k to date and we're hoping for another great season of giving from this wonderful fighting game community! We're again partnering with The Raiden Science Foundation, an organization researching cures for rare diseases.
For our charity stream on Dec 13th at 7pm EST, legendary community members Ultra David and Tong of TNS fame will be going up against each other in a East vs West grudge match! Two teams of 7 will be fighting in a format we're calling Crossup Basebrawl. It's a unique meld of classic baseball with sweaty and exciting Street Fighter 6 matches. You have to see it to believe it but the teams are full of killers from the FightRise community and ready to represent their coasts! David and Tong will be commentating all the action and making some key decisions! Don't miss it! Dec 13th, 7pm EST.

Our Big League KO SF6 League has been a smash hit! We are well underway with our Spring '25 season (our third so far!) and the first week of matches have been nothing short of heart pounding.
This season Big League KO has expanded to include more pools (nine total to be exact!) including a Premier (invite-only) pool and a pool dedicated to our EU friends. The regular season kicked off with Week 1 (March 31st to April 6th) where players played their first two matches. BLKO will continue its regular season throughout April and culminate into playoffs right after. The Grand Finals will be streamed at a future date for one of our Urge to Fight events!
This season we are committed to really highlighting more of our community by hosting a weekly showcase. Not only will we stream full replays of matches from the past week, but we are also bringing on members to do live commentary to really kick up the hype! Episode 1 just wrapped... You can watch it below on YouTube. And below the video, we're including the BLKO Spring '25 Season Report as curated by HotSoup.
