CEO 2026 Shares Registration Leaderboard With Top 9 Most Popular Games

Community Effort Orlando (or simply CEO) is merely a month away, so it's time to see what people are going to be playing!

Over at their official account, CEO posted the registration leaderboard that shows top 9 most popular games. No specific numbers, but it's still interesting which games are coming out on top.

As always, Street Fighter 6 enjoys its reign of dominance with most registrations. The bigger surprise here is just how excited people are for Marvel Tokon. It's not uncommon for unreleased games to get quite a few people signing up, but it's not always that you see them beat out a mainstay like Tekken.

For example, Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game, which has a lot of hype around it, is only standing in 5th place, following Guilty Gear Strive in 4th. Though it could be tied to the lingering controversy surrounding Mike Z's involvement in game's development.

Past that we're mostly in the territory of more niche games that still found their audience. In 6th place, 2XKO caps off the list of games that will be featured in the CEO ring.

After that we have Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves in 7th, 8th, and 9th place respectively. Super Smash Bros. is a bit of an outlier here, but that's mostly because Smash tournaments are historically quite separate from the rest of the FGC.

While events dedicated to the series gather thousands of players, the more general FGC events typically only gather a few hundred, if that.
