Bandai Namco announces online alternatives to make up for it in Dragon Ball FighterZ, Tekken 7 and SoulCalibur VI
Bandai Namco has announced that it is withdrawing support for the Tekken 7, SoulCalibur VI and Dragon Ball FighterZ World tournaments due to the uncertainties generated by the coronavirus. In a press release, the company alleges that it has had to make the difficult decision to cancel all the face-to-face tournaments that were left to be played in this 2020 season, affecting its three main fighting games. They also explain that despite this, they are finalizing online tournament alternatives for the remainder of the year to keep alive the flame of a genre that lives from the face-to-face tournament today at a competitive level.
The company recalled that although it has canceled its official support for the world circuit, the organizers of each tournament have all the freedom to hold face-to-face events if they wish, although it will no longer be on the World Tour. In addition, they add: "We urge both competitors and fans to inform themselves through the event web pages and, in the same way, we ask them to meditate well on their participation in this type of face-to-face events."
An EVO without any of the three games

This is because neither complies with a netcode strong enough to allow games between continents, which is allowed with other titles such as Killer Instinct, recovered for the occasion. The community requests that systems such as Rollback be installed in the netcode of the main games so that they are also competitively available online.
