Ending

You've made it to the end of The King of Fighters XV! See how the story concludes and what happens after the final battle. Your journey is complete!

Alright, you've reached the final stretch in The King of Fighters XV! This is it – the ending. Just a heads-up, if you didn't tackle the game on the Mania difficulty and set the timer to 3:00, the game will nudge you to try a tougher setting. But if you met those requirements, get ready for the conclusion!

Assuming you've met the conditions, you'll get to see the game's ending. It's worth noting that this version doesn't have voice acting, so we'll go by what the news reporter said in the arcade version to get the full picture.

The survivor is... (X). There is no way to stop this monster. What should we do? (X) is devastating all of Tokyo! It's a matter of time before it attacks the radio station!

The radio station starts to crumble.

Oh no, It's coming! Take cover immediate-OH NO!

Here's a little detail: in the Sega Genesis version, the reporter manages to escape before the building collapses. However, in the arcade version, things are a bit more dramatic...

The TV cuts out right as a huge chunk of the building is about to crush him. You might also catch that it says SNK NEWS instead of TRK NEWS (TRK is short for Takara).

But hey, an ending is an ending, right? They did a pretty solid job with it. If you're curious about my overall thoughts on the game, you can always check out the Conclusion section.
