Tokido, Leshar, NuckleDu Join Red Bull Kumite New York

Red Bull have unveiled their last set of invited participants for the Kumite event holding later this month. This was announced on social media where we saw that Tokido, NuckleDu, Oil King, and one of the surprises of Capcom Cup X, Leshar will be joining the tournament.

They join the likes of Punk, MenaRD, HibikiTheBeast, and Broski in the tournament. 

The addition of Leshar would seem to be a replacement for AngryBird who tweeted earlier that some health complications have come up and it can be assumed from that that he might be unable to make the trip. 

With this, there are only two slots left in the tournament which will go to the winner of the Last Chance Qualifier and the Play-In tournament. The winners of both will round out the Red Bull Kumite cast and give us the final lineup. 

The competition this year promises to be fierce and with a character like Ed now added to the mix and the patch which has nerfed both Ken and JP, we can expect a couple of surprises when the 16th and 17th of March roll around.
