NOTE: While I mentioned Team Elisabeth being the canon KOF XIII winners (as it is confirmed they faced and defeated Dark Ash), this is somewhat disputed as Team Japan has a canon ending that shows them winning the tournament. Fascinating Facts About KOF Characters Series: th-cam.com/play/PLHzpA7Z3aau8SM7otY-s42xahD6g-Cpey.html
Honestly, Team Blanctorche does seem canon as the “Heroes” of each saga (Except in ‘03) win in each saga. But I wouldn’t blame you it Team Japan was canon. Also, if you are doing a facts video in the future…please be King or Yuri.
i always knew about crimson but when I saw the new trailer that said he was a protag I was like "What?", from the story summaries id watched he sounded more like an anti-villain or minor antagonist, weirdddd
He was acting like a cocky anti-hero to flee from elisabeth's hold and carry on his mission of removing saiki from existence "his evil master", if Elisabeth knew he would sacrifice himself she would've been a huge obstacle for his plans to succeed, he pretended to have gone mad and stole saiki's power because he was the only one able to control Saiki preventing him from entering the gate of orochi, After their fusion Saiki controlled Ash's body for a while and did antagonistic actions until kof xiii winner team defeated the ash X saiki being (dark ash) and ash regained control of his body, didn't enter the gate and vanished from existence together with saiki.
@@coldasice1553 Ash crimson also took out 2 of the time spheres away from the gate Destroyed saiki's body to prevent him from walking to the gate on he's own And if u actually lose, like u dint get to meet saiki theres a bad ending were saiki's plan still dint work because ash still foiled there plans by releasing all the energy from those ball crystals
I can't confirm cuz I actually din't go look for it, but if you look to Ash design I believe he was based in tanbi kei ( european aesthetic visual kei style), and considering that early 2000 was the time the style was really popular with a bunch of japanese bands going for this style and that Ash is european it would make sense. But I don't know if has a confirmation somewhere on the internet
I like to think Yoji Biomehanika had an influence on him. A popular DJ in the late 90s and early 2000s. Just google his look and tell me you don’t think Ash might have been inspired from him
@Dehydrated Mango In some of the pics in google search it actually does, maybe Falcoon who made some changes in his designs was into it. The possibility exist.
I was one of those people that despise Ash Crimson do to his Feminine (Flamboyant) Design, but when KOF XIII happened, he has now become a Fan-Favorite, I like how Ash's Gameplay is similar to Guile from the Street Fighter series (as expected from a Charge Character) and I'm actually surprised that he's way more Successful than Remy from "Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike."
@@TheChrisLotus But something that Remy had in his favor was that he was so differently visually compared to most street fighter characters which mostly had pretty stereotypical designs and sometimes still do to this day while other games had much more anime looking characters so maybe he was added to the wrong game to the wrong audience since he's super badass in my opinion and he was always funner to play as than guile tbh
It was still a pretty harsh thing to say regardless lol. I never thought of him being a rip-off of Iori. He gets compared to Ash also because both of their styles are rooted in Savate. I think more people liked Remy than Ash though. Remy wasnt at the helm of being a Street Fighter protagonist, so who knows how most people would've seen him. I always thought Remy was cooler than most other charge characters in SF (was never a big Guile fan, sorry not sorry)
he's 16 and elisabeth is 27, so she's 11 years older than him, which makes sense since that flashback has ash looking much more baby than betty. he's a kusogaki
@@nyx2889 Me too! Frankly it gets put down for having a shonen anime plot, but I honestly liked it despite that cheesiness. Besides, the gameplay alone would make even the worst story bearable. That said, I don't really love how the game kind of railroads you into the peace ending unless you're actively a jerk to everyone. If you're going to give the game two main endings, I think you should have more dialogue choices than just nice and mean.
Im kinda wanting ash crimson as my new fav character than kakashi I mean dont get me wrong its just that he's plan against saiki is very dope if u watched he's full story
Ash is short for Ashley. I know we called a dude) classmate that when we was kids. He hated the name Ashley because his cousins would make fun of it. I knew two other guys who went by ash with their full name was Ashley. And this in the mid- late 90's.
He does like a ballet version of guile From street fighter . Crimson is a dark but bright red color While Elizabeth blanche I think Means white .... red and white are the Color of japan and canada
Ash is my most favorite villain and i did'nt regret for rooting him cuz im team Ash crimson!💚🤩 and the first time i saw him i was like "ohmaygad he's so cool like everytime he fights he's like chilling out! and thats why i really like him but he's better when he turns into black evil ash!🖤💚 and by the way im a new in your channel and i just subscribe to your channel💚
Childish reasons: 1-Stole Chizuru's mirror and then threw her. 2-Set Shen up to face Oswald because of some assassination deal. 3-(Same reason 1) Stole Iori's flames while he's in the riot state. Just because their favorite characters.
I know of one super obscure fire based charge character in fighting games: Pyro in X-Men Mutant Academy (the Game Boy Color version). Additionally, lots of people were critical of Ash's design.

I think Elizabeth looks more protagonist than Ash, and it would be better if they change their papers. And we would have the first female protagonist in KOF

Never knew Ash's flames were original orange (traditional flame color in video games). Very awesome video Chris

Bcz orochi Chris is trash
He does like a ballet version of guile
From street fighter .
Crimson is a dark but bright red color
While Elizabeth blanche I think
Means white .... red and white are the
Color of japan and canada

Ash : BONJOUR . bon voyage .
The game isn't called "Street Fighter EX" it's called "Fighting EX Layer".
Fighting EX layer is literally connected and is a continuation of the street fighter EX series lmao
4:20 if it wasn’t for Windjammers 2 being developed by Dotemu…you think KOF would have gotten a Windjammers Team or a Team of 3rd Party Characters?
I doubt it, but Ive would've been up for that. Its not like no one knows about that game, plus I feel Windjammers is a game that anyone can enjoy.

Thank you for ripping up that lame ass article lol
Many of the entries are kinda wacky. There werent too many I agreed with. I found myself laughing more than anything.
