I’m having flashbacks…
During yesterday’s Fighting Game Publisher Roundtable presentation, SNK dropped a surprising, TERRIFYING,piece of news. One of the single most difficult, indomitable, and unforgiving fighting game bosses of all-time, Omega Rugal, is joining the roster ofThe King of Fighters XVon April 14.
The originator ofThe King of Fighterstournament, Rugal is a cruel and merciless man of opulent means, capable of slaying entire teams of warriors with relative ease, and slice ‘n’ dicing his foes with seemingly psychic (i.e. button-reading A.I.) abilities. While he cost us many a quarter with his 1994 debut,KoFplayers would nottrulyfeel his wrath until his later upgrades inThe King of Fighters ’95and, particularly, inCapcom vs. SNK 2, where he would prove himself one ofthemost infuriating boss characters in history.
It’s not all bad news, as SNK notes that Omega Rugal will be made available to download free of charge for allKing of Fighters XVplayers. This way, we can all be miserable together, as one-by-one our favorite fighters fall — time and time again — to GENOCIDE CUT-TAH!
I guess weshouldbe grateful for the free DLC, and, to be fair, it just isn’tKoFwithout yer boy Rugal showing up to ruin the party. The aristocratic prick won’t be arriving for a few more weeks, so you have plenty of time to get in the lab and harden your skills before his arriv-GENOCIDE CUT-TAH!
