OverviewStrategyDataCombosReplays

This dark arms merchant of death once ruled the world’s black market, and was never shy about digging his fangs into any fighter that dared challenge him. Through the power of Orochi, he was given life once again, until a group of fierce fighters brought his reign to an end. Now, due to Verse’s influence, he’s returned to the mortal realm to extract vengeance.

Gameplay Overview

One of the most legendary fighting game bosses of all time finally makes his return! Omega Rugal is a solid midrange defensive character with a suite of strong normals and specials. Rugal excels at the midrange poking game, with great normals like f.A, f.C, 2B, 2D and an incredible jump CD. He has generous hitconfirms windows off of 6B, cl.D and cl.C, which he can use to combo into a number of powerful special moves. If Rugal has meter, he can burn it to go into one of several wonderful EX special moves that give him ample opportunities for comboing midscreen and in the corner. His best feature is his defensive play- Rugal has two fireballs that cover different angles, a fullscreen laser super that can be used as a punish, a reflector for returning projectiles in fireball wars, and one of the best DPs in the game with an EX version that sends people completely fullscreen. And if people somehow get past all of that, he also has a rushing hitgrab super that drags his unfortunate foes all the way to the corner on hit. This combined with his poking normals can make him very hard to approach, especially if the Rugal player varies up their options consistently. Rugal's two biggest weaknesses are speed and meterless damage. While Rugal's options are all pretty solid, they tend to be quite slow and committal. This makes him susceptible to being counterpoked quite a bit. As well, Rugal's meterless damage is really poor, as he often needs at least 0.5 bars to confirm into any meaningful damage. As a result, he's best played Mid or as an Anchor, though his 0.5/1 meter damage is already good enough that he's likely best as a Mid. Overall, Rugal is a great pick for new players who want to learn KOF fundamentals while also being a great pick for veterans. His high reward off of solid neutral control and good pressure up close make him a variable pick for pretty much every team.

  • Moves Rugal slightly forward

Quick, good ranged poke and hitconfirm normal outside of 2A ranges. Won't combo into any EX moves Rugal has besides Genocide Cutter, but fortunately can combo into 623D at closer ranges for acceptable reward. You should most often combo into 214A as it's more reliable, however.

  • Values in [] indicate values when cancelled into.
  • 2nd hit is overhead unless cancelled into.
  • 2nd hit also vacuums the opponent in on block.
  • Note that this mode can be input as either 4 or 6B. The most useful application for this is to cleanly cancel from Double Tomahawk into Dark Barrier (236K) without the risk of input overlap causing Genocide Cutter (623K) to occur. (i.e. input 2B > 2A > 4B > 236B in a blockstring/combo instead of 2B > 2A > 6B > 236B).

This is Rugal's most important button. It allows him to combo into all of his specials, adds an extra layer to his pressure, and has great range to boot. Hitconfirming into this off of 2A is how Rugal gets big damage off of close range tags.

Although the second hit is an overhead, this will rarely catch aware players if the first one is blocked. Whiffing the first hit enables sneaky overheads, but don't get carried away as if blocked it'll drag the opponent directly into Rugal's face for a punish and is quite unsafe when not cancelled into.

  • Reflects projectiles, including EX and supers.
  • Safe on block.
  • Recovery is significantly shorter if it manages to reflect a projectile.
  • Both normal version combo from lights. B version in particular combos even at max range where all Genocide Cutters (623k) would miss.
    • Light Vanishing Rush (214A) is better as a light confirm ender as does more damage while still being super cancellable.
  • EX version combos from heavies and causes a crumple. This leads to very high damage in corners through proper spacing into 236A, 5D(1) > 236A, 623D for just 0.5 meter.

  • All versions have full invulnerability
  • EX version causes a hard knockdown
  • D version is Raw Max Mode punishable
  • A version stays in place, D and EX versions move Rugal forward.

The ever-infamous Genocide Cutter. Highest damaging DP in the game with generous invulnerability and active frames, more than capable of blowing up any move that comes into contact with it. Compared to other DPs, Genocide Cutter does not have a quicker but upper body invuln version, meaning Rugal needs to react quicker to jump-ins than others.

The A version is the quickest and "safest" of the bunch, while the D version is best used as a combo ender thanks to its very high damage and meter gain. Exercise heavy caution using the D and EX versions as reversals or anti-airs, as they are excruciatingly slow to recover and will often result in Rugal being hit with the opponent's strongest starters. If you can react in time to a jump-in however, it is highly rewarding.

The EX version applies a hard knockdown but pushes Rugal back on the final hit alongside launching the opponent fullscreen. Fortunately, this doesn't matter in the corner as Rugal will only be pushed back a tiny bit.

  • C version is plus on block
  • EX version launches and is a staple combo tool

A version is a hitconfirm tool and nothing more. It is always very unsafe, has no invincibility, and puts Rugal point blank. The same goes for his EX, which is even less safe and gives your opponent more time to react on block. It's highly inadvisable to use this in neutral over his other specials.

The C version on the other hand is quite slow, but thanks to being plus it's much more rewarding should you manage to get the opponent to block it, such as if they're used to you using Reppukens in your pressure.
