Hello, everyone! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Our DashFight Awards 2023 are coming to an end alongside this year, and it’s time to reveal all the winners you voted for.
Just a reminder that the winner of every category was decided by the combination of jury (40%) and audience (60%) votes, and let us tell you, your votes were more than decisive!
Well, let’s begin!

Match of the Year is one of our favorite categories because it highlights the peak of fighting game performance not only from one player but from two. It takes two to tango, and it also takes two to have one of the best matches of the year. Take a look at the nominees and the winner, presented by our own Dillon Bantell:
Tournament of the Year is the category that, more often than not, is decided by how good the final streamed stage is. Great selection of players, exciting, close matches, an upset or two, and a memorable Grand Finals is your recipe for success. Here are the nominees and the winner, presented by KawaiiFaceMiles:
Almost all major fighting games are a part of some kind of professional tours hosted by the publishers. Most of them serve as a safeguard for the players who know that they will most definitely have events to look forward to for the whole year. But some of these tours go above and beyond, so here are the nominations and the winner, presented by Jaidlyn:
Event of the Year is the category that highlights, well, the entire event, not only singular tournaments. To have a good event you need great facilities, amenities, places to practice and perform, and, of course, great tournaments. Here are the nominees and the winner, presented by Romanova:
Content Creator of the Year is one of the closest categories we’ve had this year, the winner being decided by literally a couple of audience votes! And it’s understandable; all of our nominees were great: they streamed, they made educational videos, and they entertained us. Here are all the nominees and the winner, presented by Sherryjenix:
We, the members of the FGC community, are absolutely blessed to have so many commentators, casters, hosts of absolutely incredible quality. They’re hype, they’re knowledgeable, they’re able to tell you narratives and stories without taking you out of any given match. Here are the nominees and the winner, presented by Grr:
Wish we had no one and nothing to put in this category this year, but alas, we did. This is the category that highlights the absurdities, the failures, the cringiest moments of the year. Stuff you wish didn’t happen, but it did, so you’re just powering through. Here are the nominees and the winner, presented by UA|Tom Brady:
Fighting Games are at a really great spot right now, and this is reflected in the community as well: more and more major teams and organizations are taking notice and are signing people from our community. But some teams made more waves than others, and reached some incredible success while supporting its players. Here are the nominees and the winner, presented by James Banks:
With so many new releases already here and even more on the horizon, it’s quite logical that many new players are rising to the challenge, and even some of the older ones are finding the form of their lives and are showing up to get the results they never did before. Breakthroughs like this are one of the most exciting parts of the professional FGC, and here are our nominees and the winner, presented by Ketchup, who has seen his fair share of rising stars:
Each year, there are lots and lots of tournaments and events which are won by many different players. But some of the biggest players aim to win only the biggest events. This year, we have had true titans reaffirm their status of the FGC Gods, and some of these performances will simply go down in history. Here are the nominees for the Ultimate Player of the Year, as well as the winner, presented by James Chen:
We’re living in such times when fighting games could be supported with balance patches and content drops for majority of the decade, and some of these games are even being supported beyond that. This category is for the devs that care, the communities that are passionate, and the games that are only getting better and better. Here are the nominees and the winner, presented by James Chen:
This year was awesome for the fighting games, but we’re nowhere near being done yet. Some of the most anticipated games are yet to see the light of day, and the hype is building, reaching enormous levels. Here are the nominees and the winner, presented by none other than Arslan Ash himself:
And it’s time for our ultimate category. We’re all saying that 2023 was real good for the fighting games, and the amount of major releases only confirms this. But there were also smaller games, that may not be able to rival the big boys in fidelity or quality, but they definitely do so in passion. So, which game is the Fighting Game of the Year for 2023? Here are the nominees and the winner, once again presented by James Chen:
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking part in this celebration of everything good that FGC stands for. Thank you for recognizing excellence, encouraging progress, and looking forward to our bright future! Congratulations to all the winners! Happy New Year! We’ll see you in 2024!
