A Rugal (quote on quote) “Legacy,” in other words.

Foreshadowing

Joysticks will break. Oh yes, joysticks will break. Mwahahaha!

I think he’ll be super difficult if he have kaiser wave.

Still wait on him tackling arcana hearts 3 with no safety net. Rugals less than mediocre against parace l’sia.

Yea that needs to be put in

ALLL HIS HEALTH

Or, two difficulties. As is now is Normal Mode. Hard Mode is what you said. And the third difficulty, which I think should be called 90s mode, is what you said, but the AI feels like you’re playing against an actual human player.

@@paperluigi6132 that would be dope

Or he recovers health base on the damage he took like in Neo Geo Battle Collesium

lmao , this comment is damn accurate

Stuck between a Reppuken and a Genocide Cutter...

Welcome to Rugal

...couldn’t’ve said it better myself... ...as a Mexican, I approve this message...

Hardest is 2002 um one He is a Secret Boss instead of a Main one.

@@notshockwavedemon7543 the reason that he's the hardest is that you only have one attempt at him before he resets the entire run

@@whenisdinner2137 Also while he has the same moveset as 2002 Rugal, he has more power and defense and can do genocide cutter on genocide cutter

@@whenisdinner2137 and health, and more input reading and chaining Gcs that can take 1/5 of your health and end with a super and his 1-frame kaiser wave that he can pull whenever he feels like it.

That menacing edit was excellent.

@@webbowser8834 That one actually killed me ngl 😂🤣💀

I dunno I think it needed a few more explosions XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

Thank you! And yes, it was very fun indeed 💀

@@webbowser8834 "Oh, you're approaching me? Actually stop doing that!"

ora!

yare yare

Daze!

The fact that it anti-airs too kind of sucks.

""M-E-N-A-C-I-N-G""

I'm still waiting for the video. :( I'm agree with you. Actually, just meet the requirements to figth him it's a challenge by it self...

And he did forget

@@aguila1077Yup 😂. I just went back to watch a bunch of boss rage videos, and I was trying to see if he actually went threw with his challenge

I struggled most with base 2002 over 2002um

Oh yeah! He so damn COOL! I'm gonna try to main him.

@@TheHeartlessAlchemist ñt

@@TheHeartlessAlchemist you gonna get banned on mexico

@@lucalima99 Gonna get banned? Bro he's gonna get shanked and thrown in a ditch for that heresy.

@@lucalima99 50% of cartel beheadings are caused by someone picking Rugal

Thank you!

Thank You.

That quote didn’t even cross my mind!

😆😆😆

lol

Rugal: Repeat after me: “I’ll never take on a god again.” Kyo: I beat Orochi… TWICE! Terry: I took down the literal god of war. Shun’ei: I defeated TWO gods, back to back! And I’ve only been in two games! Rugal: …Well now that’s just cheating!

@@NoahDaArk igniz: Do I even count?

I found myself repeating “Oh no..” when he made his plans clear. Godspeed. 🫡

The scariest part is, he knows what is getting himself into and he actively CHOOSES it.

@@TheAssirra that is a man with principles.

as a content creator he knows suffering is content

I hope with geese being released we get nightmare geese as a boss

2 years later...

Classic case of Monke brain at work, ya hate to see it.

I've faced this fucker for years and my brain STILL says to jump. XD

King of skill needs to fight Rugal.

And just kept doing it was too funny lol

@@tinyt.w.i.m7291does he even play KOF?

Ohhhh, you missed out. The term "SNK boss" used to be an epithet in arcades for a reason.

the SNK boss syndrome is very real. Max knows he is going to get put through the wringer like never before.

@@TheRogueWolf True, bosses in other games made you feel fear but SNK bosses made you wish for death.

As an example, God Rugal in CVS2 (who was featured in an earlier boss rage) performs moves SO DAMN QUICKLY that the computer "busts pixels" to do it. As in, canceling out from one animation at the EARLIEST POSSIBLE FRAME to instantly counter whatever you just did to try and hit him. Jump over God Rugal's Reppuken to get in? The computer will instantly perform a Genocide Cutter at better-than-human reaction speeds to get the punish, doing it so fast that the game itself doesn't know what to do and replaces Rugal's sprite with a mess of pixels for a brief moment. Early SNK boss CPUs are SO BROKEN, the GAME ENGINE ITSELF can't keep up.

@@MrMysteryreviewer tho CVS2 God Rugal isn't what I call "early SNK boss CPUs".

DABBUREPUKEN!!!

Predictable, Predictable, Predictable

Should've been as hard as 02

Most fighting games don't even have bosses anymore

Yeah but I don't see the point, after Max played Kof 94 if I am not wrong he decided to level down the difficulty. Why does anybody want those levels of suffering? Just to pass hours raging at the screen?

Already did and beat him anyway. With Kula, Shunei, and Isla.

KOF 98 Omega Rugal winning quotes im guessing

​@@TotoyDestinyyes it is.

Yeah, there was a huge fanbase created by those games but definitely a lot of people got pushed away because of the SNK Boss Syndrome. If you see the other competitors, Heihachi, Bison, even Gill, they are puppies in comparison to the easiest SNK boss, the really overdone it. But at least, Rugal is quite challenging, he's not a free win, you need to struggle a little to beat him

Considering what he is in this game and that there's prizes, I kinda get why they would make him less broken. It'd suck if only like the top 10 ranked in the world could beat him. This is a decent level for him to be at overall imo.

The hardest version of Omega Rugal is from what I know the 2002 UM version of him

2:00-2:08

Jorge busted ass on this! Give em a follow on Twitter! It's in the description.

@@CaitLikesCoffee I cant feel my ass anymore but it was worth it

@@JorgeConstantiniYT the edit made me laugh so hard haha , ur editing is soo cool man

@@JorgeConstantiniYT you rock jorge!!!

I was wondering why no one made an edit of his Super Grab with the explosion meme!

youre not the only one. its fucking obvious he would have

Atleast for Players who's new to fgc, they'll experience what arcade BS boss feels like back in the day of arcade era 😅

Congrats you can abuse an AI, are you proud?

@@JohnDoe_69 Uh no? You sound pressed tho lol.

I beat him in my first try with Kyo, K’, and Orochi Chris. Have never beat him again.

2002 um gonna be a nightmare.

Need the name of that version of Geese theme

@@Laddie_Vladdie idk, been searching but can't find anything close to it. Maybe someone else will get lucky

It's the arranged version of nightmare geese from Real Bout Fatal Fury Special

hat health recovery should be a thing for this boss inbetween new characters or at least have his defenses increased like a f ton so most moves do little damage to him on the highest difficulty.

In vanilla 2k2, Rugal had a few easy exploits, K' can cheese the AI pretty well with his fireballs and time him out, did it all the time on Level 8 difficulty. Now 2k2 UM Rugal, now that's another story!

2k2 UM Rugal is the hardest Kof boss imo there are requirements to reach him (you can't lose more than 2 rounds, this even applies to all the NESTS Bosses) and his AI is so broken and you get only one chance to beat him.

@@saadhasan2518 Up to 3 rounds you can lose during the ENTIRE Arcade run, and NESTS boss must be defeated either without losing a round (single play) or your 1st character, or on your decisive round (2nd or 3rd character... assuming you lost up to 3 rounds in the entire run at that point and one or two of them were against the boss) with a DM/SDM/MAX2 move, not to mention that losing the match is instant Game Over (you get the game credits, but as far as the game is concerned, you ACTUALLY failed to beat it).

DemonDan14 would be proud!

He already experienced pain with Rugal during his KOF '94 Legacy playthrough, on level 4 difficulty. Hopefully he's more prepared this time.

The fact that it reflect projectiles made my hw drop. That's one thing to cross off the list of strategies. Damn... [9 Loses and counting]

Gotta be Nightmare Geese!!!

@@dragons_hook 😮

We still need goenutz, orochi,

@@dragons_hook unpopular opinion bu5 I hope we get Young Geese as well.

@@kingdomcomesuperman3669 would be cool. But, i'm loving his suited look!

Max has also played through most (if not all) of the KOFs that feature SNK boss syndrome Rugal, so he knows how far SNK pushed the limits in previous games.

94 and 95 mostly because those ones felt more "experimental" and the damage was WAY too cheap. 2002 UM Rugal, while doesn't have that much of a cheap damage, can only be faced once each playthrough under very specific conditions, his damage is still WAY high, his AI can be sometimes freaking bullshit to deal with, has a lot of different moves for every situation, and a lot of other things. Yes, Genocide Cutter was the strongest in 94 for me, that's how I felt it back then, but 2002 UM in general is waaaaay worse.

I wouldn't call what I did cheap, but King of Dinosaurs fucking destroys him lol

@@dyldragon1 he is definetly weak against grapplers

Honestly, I'm pretty trash at fighting games and I was able to beat God Rugal, so Omega Rugal needs to be way harder than he is.

for now the hardest lvl is lvl 5 on kof 15 i hope snk patch this up and give us lvl8 cpu difficulty thats how i get my ass beaten in the old days the lvl8 cpu is unforgiving especially the bosses very specificly rugal dont belive me try him on kof 2002

Imaging them merging 94', 95' & 02' A.I. versions and the blocking of 98' Rugal. He would be a nightmare to deal with.

Starting with the fact that each time he fails, he MUST replay the entire Arcade mode run... unless he use VS CPU mode and just beat 1 Rugal (while having the pick the same character up to 3 times option enabled to use it as a shortcut to not lose his mind about having to restart arcade mode, and the game will give bosses in VS CPU mode their Arcade Mode boss status (not sure about Goenitz and Nightmare Geese if you ask me).

Then you go back to Kof98 and see how wrong that statement is

@V. S. Werejester "I was dead for 25 years"

Yeah even in terms of Rugal's fight exclusively if you ignore conditions I'd argue he at best the 2nd easiest.

Now I kinda wanna see Endgame but it's all SNK and Rugal is their Thanos.

@@dnmstarsi Orochi would make sense considering Rugal was just a failed experiment by Goentiz whilst Orochi was the big bad of the saga.

Yes, I'm wonder why SNK decided to change this after all the previous years. If they regenerated health like in all the previous games, people wouldn't be complaining so much about how easy were to beat the final bosses (and Omega Rugal would be way harder to beat).

@@davidnoimporta7668 At the very least it could regenerate when it's in the red (or rather, "in the orange") just so people can't do what Max ended up doing here.

No one's gonna turn people off more than KOF XI's Magaki... that guy was awful.

@@dragons_hook Yeah, I feel like at this point SNK should have a pretty good idea on how to make their bosses stupid hard, but just stupid enough that they can still be beaten.

I hope

I get the feeling the next boss fight is gonna be a Nightmare!

He took five tries. Barely a struggle

@@Twkout Yeah….His skill always shine when needed. But….”🎵He’s going to the past🎵”. He hasn’t suffered enough.🫣
