Hey Everyone! I'm here today to announce......
The King of Fighters XV SPEEDRUN Events!
To help encourage & support The KOF XV Speedrun Community with interesting activities other than just submitting entries to the Leaderboards! Starting us off with our 1st Event......
The Omega Rugal Boss Challenge Mode SPEEDRUN Event
We wanna see the Top 3 Fastest Times of who can actually beat Omega Rugal in the New FREE DLC Releasing which has Boss Challenge Mode.
Now you might be wondering "What makes this Event so SPECIAL?" and to that I would say
The Number 1 Winner of the Event will receive a Digital Steam Gift Card Credit equivalent to $10 USD! Which they can use on whatever they want!
All KOF XV Platforms are available to use to enter for this Event however Steam currently is the only easy & reliable system that is capable of International Currency Credit Conversion if necessary which is why we're using Steam as opposed to Xbox Live or PlayStation Network.
Additionally depending on the Region of the Winner the exact method of how they will receive their Prize will vary & will be sorted out through Direct Messaging.
This Event will ONLY BE GOING FOR 2 WEEKS starting on April 14th 2022 exactly when the Rugal DLC is added & will be ending sometime on April 28th-29th 2022 (Depending on Timezones)
To Participate you will need to review the following:
1. Submissions can be done on any Platform for KOF XV.
2. All Entries MUST have a Recorded/Captured Video Submission of the full fight and end time uploaded to somewhere viewable via Speedrun (YouTube, Twitch, Etc.), you can use a Recording/Capture/Sharing Methods as Console Capture, Capture Cards, OBS, Etc.
3. The Recording must include the Character Selection up until the end of the Fight when the In-Game Timer is shown on the screen with the Win Results. (The Main Fight being Submitted is the Main Focus so there's some wiggle room but you have to Include the entire Full Fight. Now that we know we can Quickly Restart the Fights you don't necessarily have to Include the Character Select.)
4. Submissions for this Event will be done in the Boss Challenge Leaderboard Omega Rugal Sub-Category with the Hashtag #SNKSPEED as well as a Comment in the Description saying "This is for the Omega Rugal SPEEDRUN Event" to make it easier to find.
Runners can still submit regular speedruns to the Boss Challenge Omega Rugal Sub-Category even if they are NOT Participating in this Event if they choose to do so, if you are just submitting to the Leaderboard just do it like you normally would or include a Comment in the Description saying "This is not for the Omega Rugal SPEEDRUN Event".
Additionally other than the Boss Challenge Event that we are running on the Speedrun Website we would like to Cross-Promote another Event running simultaneously on the SNK Official Game Studio Partnered Discord run by the Official Game Studio of KOF XV.
Their Event has similar Rules to ours on Speedrun, a similar $10 USD Equivalent Digital Steam Gift Card Credit, and will be running during the same 2 Weeks as this Event.
Also on the SNK Official Game Studio Discord there will be another Prize:
The Top 3 Players on The Server with The QUICKEST TIME to Defeat Omega Rugal Uploaded & Posted on the Discord Server will be receiving a BRAND NEW ROLE created for The New Boss Challenge Mode in KOF XV!
All the Details for that Event in the #satella-announce & #satella-speed channels on the Official Discord Server.
Both Events on Speedrun & The SNK Discord are Independent of one another so IT'S NOT REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN BOTH EVENTS however SINCE THE RULES ARE BASICALLY THE SAME YOU CAN PARTICIPATE IN BOTH EVENTS AND WIN BOTH EVENT'S PRIZES should you choose to do so.
The Same Videos used for one Event can be used for the other but you would want to include a note stating that you're submitting for both Events in your Entries for both locations as you would have to submit an Entry both on The SNK Discord and Speedrun.
If you have any additional questions about this Event feel free to also ask about the Competition in this Thread.
Anyways Good Luck everyone and let's see who can Defeat Omega Rugal the Fastest! :D

As just mention in the NEWS Section of The KOF XV Leaderboards it has been announced that Goenitz will be added as a FREE DLC Downloadable Character and become a New Option in The Boss Challenge Mode so he was preemptively added as a Leaderboard Option ahead of Release.
We will give Future Updates on here if there should be another Prize Pool Event surrounding his Boss Challenge much like we did with Omega Rugal. So Stay Tuned! ;)
On January 30th SNK will be Updating KOFXV and adding in a New Offensive Gameplay Mechanic called "Advance Strike"! This will significantly change how the Overall Gameplay is for KOFXV so please take note if we once again make changes to The Leaderboard Listings for all Runs prior to This New Update
