Prohibited Actions

  • Copying or re-uploading another player's video
  • Multiple account submissions by the same person
  • External cheat tools (macros, memory editors, TAS tools, etc.)
  • Speeding up or editing video to falsely shorten time

Fair Play Rules

  • One account per video accepted.
  • Your account ID (@username) must be displayed in the corner of the video.
  • Entries with unnatural cuts or edits detected in the audio/video will be disqualified.
  • The organizer reserves the right to revoke prizes at their final discretion.

Re-submissions

You may re-submit from the same SNS account as many times as you like during the campaign. Your most recent submission is the one reviewed. Update whenever you improve your time.

📋 About the Leaderboard

To keep the leaderboard timely, submitted clear times are reflected semi-automatically right after registration.

However, our operations team will subsequently verify each submission against:

  • ・Whether the claimed clear time matches the video
  • ・Whether the @username is burned into the video frame
  • ・Whether the division conditions (Pure Run / Wings Run) are met per the official rules
  • ・Whether the video has been edited or tampered with
  • ・Any other rule violations

If a submission is determined to be invalid after verification, it may be removed (cancelled) from the leaderboard.

We appreciate your cooperation in keeping this RTA campaign fair and rule-compliant. Thank you!

Entry Form

Enter your account ID on the SNS you use (X / Bilibili / Weibo / Xiaohongshu / YouTube / Twitch etc.). Must match the ID burned into the bottom-right of the video.

URL of the post (tweet) — not the video URL

YouTube / Vimeo / Google Drive / Bilibili etc.

▾ How to burn your ID into the video

Your @username burned into the video proves the run is yours and not someone else's. The handle MUST appear inside the video frame, NOT just in the description or title.

Method 1: OBS Studio (live overlay during recording — recommended for streamers, free / PC)

  1. Launch OBS
  2. Sources > + > Text (GDI+)
  3. Enter "@your_username" in the text field
  4. Font: 32px, color: white, outline: black 3px
  5. Drag to bottom-right of preview
  6. Start recording — your handle is now baked into the video

Method 2: CapCut (post-edit text overlay — casual-friendly, free / PC & mobile)

  1. Open CapCut and import your gameplay video
  2. Select the clip in the timeline
  3. Text > New text > "@your_username"
  4. Drag to bottom-right
  5. Stretch the text duration across the entire clip
  6. Export — done

Method 3: iMovie (Mac / iPhone, free)

  1. Import the video into a project
  2. Titles > "Lower" template, overlay on the clip
  3. Replace text with "@your_username"
  4. Share > File export

⚠ Important

  • The @username MUST be inside the video frame (description / title don't count)
  • Keep it visible throughout the entire run
  • Use a readable size / contrasting color (recommended: white text + black outline)

Required for RTA divisions. Enter the time shown on your in-game timer.
