Hell yeah, senpai!
The Run For Your Life community speedrun event was a smashing success! Man, some of you really know how to speed your way through the Tower of Barbs! For real, you guys are like, freaky fast! I'm so proud of each and every senpai who participated. LET IT DIE has one of the most amazing communities in all of gaming and it makes your old Uncle D truly happy to see so many of his senpais kicking so much ass!
I wanna give a special thanks to my senpai gr4de_ for going above and beyond the call of duty in organizing and reviewing all of the speedrun submission videos. Without him, well, I guess I would've had to do all the work myself!
Anyway, it's time to announce the big winners!
-1st Place-
vsauce-michael (Steam) - Final time: 1h 05m 01s
Stand_Aside (PS4) - Final time: 1h 12m 06s
Congrats you two! For your super-swift speedruns you'll each win 50 Death Metals, a Premium Skill Decal of your choice, and a LET IT DIE t-shirt!
-2nd Place-
TrustworthyAndy (Steam) - Final time: 1h 09m 10s
Darokyu (PS4) - Final time: 1h 13m 56s
Right on, guys! For your second-place finishes, you'll each receive 30 Death Metals and a LET IT DIE t-shirt.
-3rd Place-
InvisibleMadman (Steam) - Final time: 1h 11m 09s
r072012 (PS4) - Final time: 1h 16m 06s
Nice showing, senpai! You'll each receive 20 Death Metals and a LET IT DIE t-shirt.
Don't forget, if you submitted a speedrun, filled out an entry form, and finished in 4th - 10th place on either platform (PlayStation 4 or Steam/PC) you've also won 10 Death Metals. Good going, yo!
Finally, I gave the event organizer Gr4de_ the opportunity to award an additional 20 Death Metals to a contestant who truly embodied the spirit of the event. He has chosen to award those Death Metals to r072012-senpai for using a lowly Grade 3 Fighter yet still managing to take 3rd place overall on PS4! Double congratulations to you, r072012-senpai! You'll receive 40 Death Metals in total AND a LET IT DIE t-shirt. Way to play, man!
Thanks once again to everyone who participated! Your Uncle D is very proud. Until next time...live fast and DON'T DIE!

Yo, senpai!
I’m super stoked to announce that I’ll be sponsoring a month-long speedrunning event presented by the LET IT DIE community! Everyone is invited to join the mayhem and there will be fabulous prizes for the top finishers! All you gotta do is climb from your Waiting Room to the 41st floor of the Tower, defeating all of the Dons and Mid-Bosses along the way. You can do that, right senpai? Of course you can! You’re like, a total badass hardcore gamer!
I wanna see EVERYONE give this a shot, and I can’t wait to see your super sick speedruns!
Oh, and special thanks to my senpai gr4de_ and the LET IT DIE community for putting this event together. I’m so proud of him and everyone else involved!
