Hello everyone and welcome to the new and improved SFxT leaderboards! This game has recently received a new moderation team! @Habble , @NerdyNester and @DWednesday will now be spearheading the moderation effort.

Firstly before I begin I'd like to tag the community members here who have already submitted times to this leaderboard in the past as we would like to encourage a revitalisation of the leaderboard and we feel like the changes that have been made are drastic enough to highlight the new status quo. @KingSheaun , @Jaypin88 , @captrhodes , @Sir_ProsPal , @CyanRamp , @E_21 , @StarkillerShane , @GGDuane , @CountGooby and @FelipeNascimento83

Please find below a full list of changes that we have made to the boards in an effort to foster a strong and healthy community.

• General Game rules have been clarified, detailing acceptable standards for video, emulator, gameplay and general runner conduct requirements

• Moderators are no longer permitted to automatically verify their own submitted times

• Official collaboration with the Street Fighter Speedruns community discord is now in effect; a link to which has been added to the leaderboard sidebar

• Arcade mode speedrun rankings now use IGT as their main timing method (the combined total of 99s minus K.O time for each round of gameplay in the run) You are free to still submit with RTA as a reference if you wish but the official rankings will be ordered by the fastest in game time after it has been confirmed during verification

• Since the game actually provides an IGT for you at the end of each Mission, the combined total of all provided times by the game is used to calculate the IGT for the All Missions category specifically

• Platform categories are now merged together since using IGT means we no longer have to worry about load time discrepancies - additionally, this ensures that PC users who previously chose to alter the game files of stage backgrounds to be blank in order to speed up loading times will no longer have any objective benefit over anyone else when submitting their times

• A Co-op subcategory has been added under the Arcade category for runs between two human players on the same team

• Merged various difficulty and round value categories into three distinct types applicable to all relevant run formats; any existing runs for the categories that were previously underrepresented for years have been moved to their new appropriate homes

The new Arcade category format is as follows: Any% allows the use of any round or difficulty setting. 3R | Medium which enforces a 3 Round setting on Medium difficulty. 3R | Hardest which enforces a 3 Round setting on Hardest difficulty.

• A No Gems subcategory has been added under the Arcade category that enforces a complete ban on utilising any gems for the entire run

• The All Tutorials category under Challenge has been deleted due to community disinterest

• The IL section of this leaderboard is now open for Individual character Trials, allowing everyone the opportunity for competition over character-specific WRs

• For Trial IL speedruns, time starts on "READY" after loading into Trial 1 and ends on "CLEAR" after completing Trial 20

• Revised the SRC run submission form to include all 42 of the previously unlisted characters that have been somehow inexplicably absent all this time

Thank you for your time and good luck with the runs!
