  • Rugal Bernstein is the most iconic villain in the King of Fighters series, and one of the hardest bosses ever in fighting games. Despite being present in only two canonical entries, KOF 94 and KOF 95, his story continues with his children Adelheid and Rose Bernstein.

    I like that Adelheid, despite having Bernstein blood, and despite having everything the money can buy, he still yearns for the excellence in the discipline of his interest. Instead of bringing his opponents down, he tries to rise above them, and accepts his defeat when he has been bested. In fact the only two characters that I can say with a percentage of certainty that would do that, are Kim and Athena. Not even Kyo has that sportsmanship. Imo.

      Kyo was never that kind of a character he is provoking people smug and arrogant, because he is from a lineage of an old and rich family, both in wealth and martial arts, usually he pisses off Iori intentionaly. Wolfgang Crauser is like that as well he is above everybody and wants to beat everybody with his own power and strength he is just a confident villian who will give you a chance if he sees a talent in you.

    You know how scary a final boss truly is when you shudder at hearing two words. If Rugal does return in XV, he's going to want his revenge against Kyo and Heidern. However, if Goenitz also returns, Rugal might want to get back at him too. Oh man. If the villains of past KoF games come back, I think they'll be fighting amongst themselves to stand on top. I'd love to see how they handle that. Watch Rugal evolve from Omega Rugal to Orochi Rugal that has the abilities of all other SNK bosses. Go all out SNK! Do it!
    ADELHEID!!! One of my favorite KoF characters! If you ever make a top 10 KoF husbando list, Adelheid NEEDS to be there! Just look at him! He's so cool! They need to make a non-canonical RPG spinoff called King of Fighters 2007. It's set in a city where Rugal is in collaboration of NESTS to create super soldiers to expand his power. Rugal wanted to subject Adelheid to become a super soldier, but Adelheid refused and chose to rebel against his father, so he asks Antonov and Chizuru to fight him. He first tells Rose to stay home, but she wouldn't stop begging, so Adelheid brings her with him. However, once they reach the top of the tower overlooking the city, they find Rugal murdered and learn that it was Igniz that killed him. Goenitz then appears and takes over the city in Rugal's place. Adelheid and his team make an escape to the outskirts of the city where their journey begins to find Igniz. They are constantly chased by NESTS' strongest agents: Shen Woo, K', and Kula. As they travel across the world, they come across new characters that aid them in their quest. Malin is hiding in the forests whose village was at war against Rugal at one point, and she joins Adelheid if they beat her. They come across Billy Kane who is watching over an airship that was left behind by the late Geese Howard, and he joins Adelheid because Goenitz is attempting to steal the airship and Billy can't fight him on his own. Later when they reach Rugal's mansion at Adelheid's hometown, they discover a person in the basement who was subject to experiments by Hein. He did not have a name, but he joins Adelheid to get revenge on Hein and to learn of the whereabouts of a woman he was close to. Together they try to put a stop to Igniz who is manipulating everyone so that he can become the God of the planet. I'd love a game like this.
    Probably my new favorite video simply because Adelheid is in it. Now you just have to do Heidern, and you'll have done a lore video with my three favorite characters!
    I have to appreciate you doing work for all of these videos. I didn't think about it before, but those gameplay clips you show throughout the video...that's you, isn't it? You're the one who is playing as you tell the story? If this is true, then that is simply amazing. It's your own spin on the story, and you are like the director who has to play the game just right so that it fits with the story you're trying to tell just like that clutch moment at 7:10. That is impressive work, especially for SNK games, and you playing it yourself makes the story sound natural that tells us just how it feels to play against SNK bosses. It's unique, it's funny (because you're playing), and it's fantastic. Thank you for your hard work.

    Adelheid is a curious case. The idea of these late villains living on through their offsprings has only ever been captured successfully in the story of Rock Howard. Rock Howard is one of the most effective cases of nature vs nurture subplot IN a fighting game. He's the lone son of Geese Howard who nurtured by the expansive wings of Rock Howard. But that isn't all. Rock Howard's entire design is entirely INFORMED by his dichotomous upbringing. He's a passionate but muted fighter in most instances. But once he starts tapping into that potential of his, he starts changing as evidenced by his different portrait whenever he uses his father's Raging Storm to KO an opponent. He appears to be in agony as he tries to keep that blue power at bay in his win pose and portrait--signifying that internal struggle between his own nature, Terry's example, and his father's dark legacy.
    In my opinion, Adelheid is not designed with that same finesse. There doesn't seem to be this internal conflict. Instead, the conflict between light and dark appears to encompass himself and his sister. Adelheid is a polite and honorable fighter whereas Rose is much more erratic and temperamental. The two end up balancing each other out. Adelheid and Rose balance each other out. However, Adelheid, personally, does not seem to labor much over his father's dark legacy. He's a talented fighter through and through, somehow adapting many of his father's techniques into his own style. His key character motivation revolves less around what his father did, and more about keeping his dear sister safe. Overall, Adelheid could definitely use much more character development. Personally, he doesn't have the same impact as Rock Howard's design. The only way he defies expectations is the fact that he is apparently a decent person compared to the psycho his father was in life.

      The KOF series isn't really as well known (or not as popular) in North America outside of Japan or South America. The reason why Geese Howard is in Tekken 7 is because Fatal Fury at the time did made an impact on North America in the 90's.
      Terry Bogard did made a guest appearance in *"Fighting EX Layer"* other than Smash Ultimate.

    • @RealKazukiShikimori
      @RealKazukiShikimori 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Jose Urbina Yeah I got Terry in Smash and Fighting EX Layer and even had Fatal Fury on my Sega back in the day. I guess I just got hope that others would want to know more about Geese and get stuck in an SNK rabbit hole and find Terry or Rugal. I guess they did add Neegan in there for a relatable reference for the American Audience, which I still think was a questionable decision for a fighting game.

      Reyan Mahir Considering that characters like Geese and Akuma are arguably way better than Kazuya in Tekken 7 I don’t think Rugal would have that hard of a time fitting into the top tier category. Kazuya is my favorite Mishima, and I actually main him, but I cannot deny his flaws and I do see him as an upper mid tier character or lower top tier.

      @Yautah Any character can be balanced with the right team behind them. Geese transitioned well into Tekken so I think Rugal can too, of course they won't be able to put all his completely broken moves into the game and a lot of the cool stuff he has would probably be moved to his Rage Art and Rage Drive but having someone like Rugal would further diversify the types of characters in Tekken 7 while also bringing more interest into the KOF Series.

    Wow. This video answered so many questions and cleared up a lot of confusion. Awesome video and I’m saddened that Rugal wiped the floor with Akuma
