New dates to be announced later
The two final competitions were set to pit the best SAMURAI SHODOWN and THE KING OF FIGHTERS XIV players in the world against each other, but because it looks as though cases of Coronavirus infections in Japan are increasing, SNK decided to postpone the competition for the safety of everyone involved. Those coming from abroad and those from Japan alike.
After the situation around Coronavirus improves, SNK plans to release new dates for the tournaments.
