@@Lunaria.Praesentia Adel should've been the new protagonist, Shun'Ei sucks. He's the perfect tragic hero, son of an evil madman but trying to follow his own path. Rock fits this bill as well.
Adelheid and Heidern are getting a collection in KoF Allstars in 2 days dedicated to them, which is super cool. It's ironic how I have been wanting Adel back in a real KoF game for a long time, and he still isn't back yet, but this should tide me over until that day that hopefully shows up.
I would have liked to see this character as sorta of a rival for Rock Howard. It would have probably motivated the writers to do more with Rock too. Since they could played off the whole "Born in a bad Family and trying to make things right" aspect for both of them.
I keep forgetting that Heidern is a good guy. He looks so much like a stereotypical bad guy evil military man. His moves are a stabby and scary too, it blew my mind when I learned he's a big-time good guy.
KOF XV's resurrection plot, alongside the fact that Heidern has signed up for the tournament (something he only ever did canonically once after Leona's introduction) makes pretty damn clear to me that Rugal is coming back, if not in XV proper, at least the seeds will be planted for the sequel. And that'll be the golden opportunity for Adel and Heidern to work together to get rid of Rugal again and bury the hatchet once and for all. ...who am I kidding, Shun'ei will probably beat him instead, won't he?
Adel has the most wasted potential in all KOF, imo. Not only he wasn't as prominent in the Ash saga as much as they want us to believe, but, as you also said, he had lots of potential story interactions to add as well. Not to mention that, Verse shenanigans aside, Rugal will hardly be able to become a permanent character ever. I can understand him making one return, since he's such an iconic villain in KOF, but Adel was the perfect chance for SNK to have Rugal indirectly as a permanent playstyle represented in the game. I seriously think Adel deserves another chance, especially considering the period of the Ash saga was the most troublesome one for SNK's new characters to make an impact, with all the artstyle and economic shifts
My favorite character in the franchise could have made it into my favorite game in the KOF franchise...? IM NOT HELLA MAD AND MY DAY IS RUINED! That sprite looked sooooooo gooooooood
It hurt even more that Adel was cut from XIII when you look at some interview with the devs regarding the Ash Saga, and hear they saying he was supossed to be the co-protagonist with Ash. Hopefull, he get a chance to shine in the future
Some little comments about the video: -Ryu, Ken and Goku did in fact appeared in KOF 98... Sort of. In an interview with the developers stated that they finished the game with some extra time to kill and they decided to include them just for fun, i could imagine the sprites were ripped from maybe alpha and some snes dragonball game, i don't know really but i doubt an artist would waste time on something that wont be payed for and won't see the light of day. -Aside from cut characters, there were also cut costumes, this was due to time constraints and to "save money", this was made certain characters forced to share a body (Mature/Vice, Joe/Hwa Jai, Ralf/Clark, Ash/DarkAsh/Saiki) those characters share also certain moves which made the team save some time (The Ikaris had their models fully done so i think was a waste really). -We know for certain that Geese would've made the cut since he also had his own theme, the devs said Geese wasn't included due to the system not fitting him but obviously was due to time and budget, like other characters (including Adelheid)
This channel is underrated. It was hilarious at certain parts and i kinda laughed at times. I stumbled on to this channel by complete accident lmao. I just really hope Adelheid makes an appearance again in KOF 15. Rugal already made an appearance now, I haven't seen Adelheid in a long time
I remember some one saying that Ignition Entertainment rushed SNK to put out KOF 12. That same person even showed some un used characters including one of the members from "those from the past"(that kid who tried to attack Heidern in KOF 13 story mode or was arcade ending was going to be in KOF 12)? I believe it. Ignition Entertainment was the same company that gave us a terrible english dub for Arc Rise Fantasia and tried to take the license away from Xseed.
I want him to be in KOF XV SO MUCH BRO, like i honestly do not understand why they dont use him like they should, he was a huge part of the ash saga and honestly think he was more of a worthy protag then ash crimson.
I was almost sure that on KOF XV he would be with heidern, since all of heidern's agents where on the tournament, even heidern himself, i really really thought it was Adel's time to be ok a KOF game that people actually play, but once again he got robbed :(
If KoFXIII gets a final edition update, I'd love to see Adelheid, but uh... let's be real that is a fantasy XD. Daydreaming is fun though. Hopefully he'll be back and playable in XV though.
It could be, if CAPCOM made an update to a game that was 20+ years old (SF2) adding new characters (I know those were recolors of existing characters, but maybe SNK still had a couple of almost-finished characters) i can see SNK putting a KOF XIII final edition
I still find it super weird that they had Billy in this game as a single entry random mid boss with his only story reason to be there being he wants to kill Iori, but didn’t prioritize Adel instead.
Excellent video. And yeah, this guy had so much mad potential. From the team/boss stories they wrote about him(not all of them translated), to the fact they even called him the 'other protagonist' of the damn Ash Saga. He NEEDS to come back at some point. I can wait for later DLC, it's cool, but he's gotta get his ass back in. Easily one of the most screwed characters. it's one thing to get left out due to time/resources(like a few characters you can tell were-Oswald was just introduced in XI, and he was probably due back in for example), it's another when you're called the 'other protagonist' and you end up screwed. You'd think they'd have prioritized him over Hwa Jai and Raiden in development, but I guess they underestimated the cost. Severely. In any case-he and Rugal can easily be in the game together. As someone who didn't quite get into playing R in '98 playstyle wise(he was pretty cool but there were others I liked more), I loved playing Adel in XI and he's my main anchor there. Some shared moves, a shared style, but they have different enough playstyles(R's more 'big boy buttons' that I found better as a point or mid, Adel is meter-heavier, high damage aggressive rushdown anchor.) They'd both I think fill different enough niches gameplay wise. (plus, the shared moves benefit; can use the assets between them.)
I really want to see Adelheid come back. Sure he shares moves with Rugal but he does not play one to one the same. Rugal coming back would be a really good chance to have Adelheid confront him and I want to see that.
Now with KOFXV and Rugal appearing there is a chance for Adelheid to appear to stop his fathers evil beside the story of verse but nobody cares about that cuz is about shunein and isla, so we could get finally a good story and follow up with what would happen to adelheid and her sister once they know rugal is back from the death Edit: after watching the video I see nothing but facts in this video, SNK wanted a protagonist? There Adelhein is perfect say no more.
Can't wait to see the think piece about Rugal's return and the new insane Boss Challenge mode. SNK will soon welcome a new generation to understand the concept of love. Can't wait.
Hope they add more KoF legacy bosses to flesh-out the new boss (rush) mode. I'd love to see Krizalid return in KoF15. We're already getting Geese back in May 👍!
3:24 I heard he would be a Charade/Edge Master using your character’s moves after round 1. Kinda like Martial Champions (old super obscure FGC) before the 3D games started…
At least with Hwa, he and Joe shared sprites. They put in Billy over Adelheid. They put in Billy over GEESE. Out of all the characters, they went and made BILLY a random solo-entry?! I get that Billy has fans sure (allegedly), but did he need to make it in instead of the 3rd-most important character to the story? It'd be like Isla only showing up in cutscenes instead of being a playable character. XIII was really missing its own villain team to make that iteration's roster stand out, which I guess would've been Botan/Shroom/Rimello (the girl mind-controlling Rose + the two characters that attack Kyo at the start of the intro). Frankly, the notion of teams and sticking to them also did its part to hold that roster back, something they clearly realized with 15 by pretty much doing whatever they wanted in terms of team composition. Did people really love Chin so much that he had to be one of the characters they put down so many resources to make, or did they just have to include him because "it's not the Psycho Soldier Team without him!" Also, they never committed to Elisabeth being the hero of that game, since even in all the cover artwork it's Ash or Kyo that's most prominent with Liz being off to the side. Even at the character select screen, the first character the cursor lands on is Kyo and not the hero team leader, Liz.
All these cut characters that were either planned to be playable or had some sprites made for them just make me want to see a KoF XIII Unlimited Match. Sure it's a canon game but it may as well be the Ash saga's real dream match since XII was such a disaster.
The game meant to celebrate king of fighters 15th anniversary and according to Shane Ben hauser the business director for ignition entertainment who poured kof 12 to home consoles this game was meant to follow the theme: the rebirth of kof!!
Really wish Adelheid hadn’t fallen off. I want him and Duck to come back in the worst way. Rugal doesn’t rhyme with Google, btw. Stress is on the second syllable, like roo-GAHL.
Regarding King of Fighters XIII, the fact we never got a Team with 3 of the bad guys from the "Ash Saga" is still disapointing. Especialy with all the "Botan", "Shroom" and "Rimelo" teasing we got though KoF'03, KoF XI and XIII
Broooo,imagine him at kof XV -kof shares a silhouette exactly looks like rugal but itsactually Adelheid....so THEY SHATTERED OUR EXPECTATIONS -he reveals himself with his sister at intro -stage is sky noah and his sister play piano with orchestra at background -hes fast and hits stronk like his father -unique finisher looks better and hyper than his father. - "Is that it? I expected more" *i want team "american sports" too
imagine if Adelheid teamed up with Oswald and Malin for this game. Terry should've teamed up with Billy and Raiden for this installment while Iori should've teamed up with Kim and K'(odd choice, i know). XIII is more or less what SNK planend for XII. but with Saiki(with a completely different design), Shroom and Rimelo being playable.
KOF XIII ending as soon as it did still doesn't sit right with me, SNK put so many resources into XII and XIII only to abandon them and start over many years later before that game could reach its true potential
I'd guess that the entire art direction for XII and XIII are prime examples of sunk-cost fallacy. Even if they kept reusing them as they did the original neo geo sprites, their active roster would probably barely be scraping XIV numbers. That said, it is a shame to throw all that work in the trash.
People pronouncing Rugal's name as "Roogle" will always be grating on my ears. My friends and the people in our arcade always pronounced it as Ru-gal. That being said, awesome video! Adelheid, Krizalid, and Shion deserve to be in more games.
Great video but after playing XV I gotta say I'm all about Isla from design to gameplay definitely need more hip hop inspired characters in fighting games like her
considering how difficult was to draw characters for kof xiii i find hard to believe snk would waste any time on adel, heck the sprite recycling in this games is more than obvious (mature-vice, ralf-clark, joe hwai, takuma-mr karate)
Fun fact adel was originally going to be a woman but this was changed right before 03's release. The change was so late that they didn't have time to reflect the change in Adel's sprite work
I don't care if Rugal is in the game, put Adel in the mix. He shows more promise as a better protagonist than Shun Ei and I starting to like Shun a little.
But yeah, had Ignition didn’t screw everything up, give SNKP time with XII & make XIII a Dream Match I think Adel could have been an interesting Single Entry or as a part of a Team with Heidern & Whip I like the roster of XIII….but a bias towards nostalgia and budget was ridiculous to a degree. I can tell you my roster if you want me to.
Greetings. I also dislike the roster of KOF XIII especially how weak it is compare to the rosters of KOF 2003 and XI Please tell me your ideal roster for KOF XIII I like your roster ideas :)
Back in the day…when I finally bought XIII I loved it…even though I was a scrub back in the day I really enjoyed it…however looking back at it…it’s kinda overrated nowadays. Good, but overrated. It was one of two games that damn near killed SNK in general.
Ok hear me out. Adelheid as the next protagonist after Shun'ei. The son of the most beloved villain in the franchise and an incomplete story arc and I can see the new Team Hero with Adelheid, Heidern, and either Rose or a brand new character
I think it would be cool to see SNK put a halt on the new characters for awhile and focus on the ones they have for a little while. Seeing Adel be protagonist of the next arc would be so sweet.
Im more mad that they gave us billy over adelheid like come on he was way more relevant to the ash saga than billy hell billy hasn't been relevant story wise since fetal fury
ShunEi or whatever pisses me off because he's boring as hell, imagine if instead of him Rugalito was the protagonist, that would be hella dope. Also I'm sure he has his fans but Raiden in KOF 13 was a waste of sprite work that couldve gone to another, better character
@@JohnSexDD And there were also other cases of unused and cut characters in KOF, such as: K9999, the totally-not Tetsuo, in KOF Neowave The overpowered Armor Ralf, who was cut yet still in the game's data in KOF Maximum Impact Regulation A Orochi Iori in KOF 2002 UM And the most interesting case, K' Team, Women Fighters Team, and the Mysterious Newcomers Team, that were completely absent in KOF XII, with the two former being observed in the data, while the latter was found on the concept sprites art.
Adelheid has quite the wasted potential. He's an interesting character for many reasons, hope to see him as a DLC entry in XV.
You were close. Real close. Instead we got Satan. ^_^
@@SoulBroRyu yeah, I saw the announcement. Anything's better than XV'x actual bosses XD
Well his dad actually come back to xv
If people keep supporting SNK with future DLC characters, we may finally have Adel back for 15, I can only dream man

Adel looks like the love child of cloud strife and leon f kennedy, how can you not love this character?
He really does lol
I keep forgetting that Heidern is a good guy. He looks so much like a stereotypical bad guy evil military man. His moves are a stabby and scary too, it blew my mind when I learned he's a big-time good guy.
Definitely a good guy but still a scary mother fucker!

we got rugal! good insight!
Well, i got news to you!
If Rugal is in XV, Adel should too.
is there gonna be something next after XV?
is there gonna be something next after XV?
Adelheid...Man such a wasted potential :(
Not just Adelheid but Geese as well. Imagine how sick it would've been to see a ToD combo from Geese that doesn't need counters.
Adel has the most wasted potential in all KOF, imo.
Not only he wasn't as prominent in the Ash saga as much as they want us to believe, but, as you also said, he had lots of potential story interactions to add as well.

He really need it. The fact they cut him from KOF14 that means we already got all the asdet for him i just hope season 3 can give us Adel
The Russian homunculus footage being included was the best Christmas gift I never would have asked for
My favorite character in the franchise could have made it into my favorite game in the KOF franchise...?
IM NOT HELLA MAD AND MY DAY IS RUINED!
That sprite looked sooooooo gooooooood
Bro fr.
It hurt even more that Adel was cut from XIII when you look at some interview with the devs regarding the Ash Saga, and hear they saying he was supossed to be the co-protagonist with Ash.
Hopefull, he get a chance to shine in the future
Your underrated as hell for the amount of effort your videos have
I can definitely see you blowing up
Kof is underrated as hell keep up the grind bro
Appreciate you my man, thanks
3:15 "Rugal Bernstein is..."
Man that's a perfect way to present him.
Adel was my favorite. So sad that he’s not playable in the newest kof
FYI: Rugalito translates to Rugal Jr.
but yeah I would like to see Adelheid playable in KoF XV, he's a fair version of Rugal
Adel and nameless are so underrated
Some little comments about the video:

wow, didn't know Geese was confirmed cut from the game. What a shame.
Adelheid is definitely my favorite KOF character. I was hoping he would've made it in KOF XV before Rugal but we'll see what happens
This channel is underrated. It was hilarious at certain parts and i kinda laughed at times. I stumbled on to this channel by complete accident lmao. I just really hope Adelheid makes an appearance again in KOF 15. Rugal already made an appearance now, I haven't seen Adelheid in a long time
Splatoon bitch is hype, Adelheid is one of my livetime favs, but you don't have to diss the hypest new character
I remember some one saying that Ignition Entertainment rushed SNK to put out KOF 12.

Banger video. I didn't know about those cards before, extremely neat stuff!
Adelheid my beloved
You're my new favourite channel - HOW DID YOU MAKE CONCEPT OF LOVE INTO A FITTING RUGAL THEME
I was almost sure that on KOF XV he would be with heidern, since all of heidern's agents where on the tournament, even heidern himself, i really really thought it was Adel's time to be ok a KOF game that people actually play, but once again he got robbed :(
Adelheid has quite the wasted potential. He’s an interesting character for many reasons, hope to see him behind me in m
I need him
WAIT MOMOKO WAS SCRAPPED FROM 13 TOO?! Well that's crazy.
That is why kof 13 roster was so standard they wanted to celebrate the big iconic phases of the series
If KoFXIII gets a final edition update, I'd love to see Adelheid, but uh... let's be real that is a fantasy XD. Daydreaming is fun though. Hopefully he'll be back and playable in XV though.
It could be, if CAPCOM made an update to a game that was 20+ years old (SF2) adding new characters (I know those were recolors of existing characters, but maybe SNK still had a couple of almost-finished characters) i can see SNK putting a KOF XIII final edition
Maybe it can be named "kof 13 ultimate match" like the other kof from another sagas(orochi(98) and nest(2002))
We have a bit of hope now 🥹
I still find it super weird that they had Billy in this game as a single entry random mid boss with his only story reason to be there being he wants to kill Iori, but didn’t prioritize Adel instead.
2:38 I thought a shoryugame collab was bout to commence ngl
Context: shoryugame is a snk UA-camr who opens videos with clips like that

In any case-he and Rugal can easily be in the game together. As someone who didn't quite get into playing R in '98 playstyle wise(he was pretty cool but there were others I liked more), I loved playing Adel in XI and he's my main anchor there. Some shared moves, a shared style, but they have different enough playstyles(R's more 'big boy buttons' that I found better as a point or mid, Adel is meter-heavier, high damage aggressive rushdown anchor.) They'd both I think fill different enough niches gameplay wise. (plus, the shared moves benefit; can use the assets between them.)
Rosters! 🙂 I had to add My guy; love Aderu
The Big Bear costume is playable. press select on him when you pick his color
I really want to see Adelheid come back. Sure he shares moves with Rugal but he does not play one to one the same. Rugal coming back would be a really good chance to have Adelheid confront him and I want to see that.
Hi I just discovered your channel, i like your videos. Keep on going

This guy shouldn't have been left out he hasn't fought his father yet
All these cut characters that were either planned to be playable or had some sprites made for them just make me want to see a KoF XIII Unlimited Match. Sure it's a canon game but it may as well be the Ash saga's real dream match since XII was such a disaster.
Ryu and goku in 98 happened tho, it's in an interview
Yeah it was to test the 98 engine if i believe

Really wish Adelheid hadn’t fallen off. I want him and Duck to come back in the worst way.
Rugal doesn’t rhyme with Google, btw. Stress is on the second syllable, like roo-GAHL.
Finally someone else asking where the hell is Jeff Bogard
Regarding King of Fighters XIII, the fact we never got a Team with 3 of the bad guys from the "Ash Saga" is still disapointing. Especialy with all the "Botan", "Shroom" and "Rimelo" teasing we got though KoF'03, KoF XI and XIII

-kof shares a silhouette exactly looks like rugal but itsactually Adelheid....so THEY SHATTERED OUR EXPECTATIONS
-he reveals himself with his sister at intro
-stage is sky noah and his sister play piano with orchestra at background
-hes fast and hits stronk like his father
-unique finisher looks better and hyper than his father.
- "Is that it? I expected more"
*i want team "american sports" too
How can I get a copy of those cards?!
Really hope he’s in KOFXV especially that Rugal is coming to the game
Rugal killed Yujiro Hanna via being his self-forced adoptive grandpa pre-Rugal’s conception.
UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF LOVE
Apparently Oswald was going to be in 13 too.
imagine if Adelheid teamed up with Oswald and Malin for this game. Terry should've teamed up with Billy and Raiden for this installment while Iori should've teamed up with Kim and K'(odd choice, i know).
XIII is more or less what SNK planend for XII. but with Saiki(with a completely different design), Shroom and Rimelo being playable.

Ah yes
Rugal from Wish
Wouldn't it be funny to see Rugal, Adelheid and Rose in a team?
Sadly it won’t be happening but it would be great
The Twinkle Arc huh
Fun fact adel was originally going to be a woman but this was changed right before 03's release. The change was so late that they didn't have time to reflect the change in Adel's sprite work

@@ShinOrochi yea turns out my source was mistranslated character overview 💀
Yes it does mean little rugal
The fact that Rugal is in XV make his chance of appear in that game is low.
I don't care if Rugal is in the game, put Adel in the mix. He shows more promise as a better protagonist than Shun Ei and I starting to like Shun a little.
Shun'ei is the first KOF protagonist to not be a bad@ss, he's also the first to be uninteresting.

But yeah, had Ignition didn’t screw everything up, give SNKP time with XII & make XIII a Dream Match I think Adel could have been an interesting Single Entry or as a part of a Team with Heidern & Whip
I like the roster of XIII….but a bias towards nostalgia and budget was ridiculous to a degree. I can tell you my roster if you want me to.
Greetings.
I also dislike the roster of KOF XIII especially how weak it is compare to the rosters of KOF 2003 and XI
Please tell me your ideal roster for KOF XIII
I like your roster ideas :)
Rugalito = Lil Rugal
Yes 👍
Cool video dude. Your pretty funny. Idk if you were kidding or not but yeah rugalito basically means little rugal.
Back in the day…when I finally bought XIII I loved it…even though I was a scrub back in the day I really enjoyed it…however looking back at it…it’s kinda overrated nowadays. Good, but overrated. It was one of two games that damn near killed SNK in general.
I LOVE YOU
I really feel like they should have made Adelheid the playable version of Omega Rugal in XV.
9:18 Raiden's Big Bear skin is in the game, hes one of the secret skins like Orochi saga Kyo and ninja Andy
goddamn I didn't even know they were in the game and i've been playing this shit years now, i feel like an idiot
Ok hear me out. Adelheid as the next protagonist after Shun'ei. The son of the most beloved villain in the franchise and an incomplete story arc and I can see the new Team Hero with Adelheid, Heidern, and either Rose or a brand new character
I think it would be cool to see SNK put a halt on the new characters for awhile and focus on the ones they have for a little while. Seeing Adel be protagonist of the next arc would be so sweet.
@@JohnSexDD but who would his team mates be cause one of the most obvious picks is Heidern
@@gingerjesus6035 just put the man who defeated Rugal twice and we have a deal - or even Saisyu.
@@rozendo309 if the timeline was right I'd put Rock in team hero but that doesn't make a lot of sense
Shingo & rock will be his teammates
the way you say roster sounds like rasta lmfaoooo
I really wished Adel was back, with a new moveset cuz hes one is lacking
Excuse meWUT
*WHY*
If it's not possible on latest kof series, hopefully a new Adelheid will be available as a boss syndrome character.
How tf do you have sub 400 subs, my dude?? You could read me the dictionary and I'd still subscribe.
bet, next video will be a dictionary narration
@@JohnSexDD Best belated Christmas gift you can give. ;)
Im more mad that they gave us billy over adelheid like come on he was way more relevant to the ash saga than billy hell billy hasn't been relevant story wise since fetal fury
I would agree but my Billy bias is too strong. Still, adel does deserve the slot over him.
ShunEi or whatever pisses me off because he's boring as hell, imagine if instead of him Rugalito was the protagonist, that would be hella dope. Also I'm sure he has his fans but Raiden in KOF 13 was a waste of sprite work that couldve gone to another, better character
It's me I'm Raiden fans
@@JohnSexDD And there were also other cases of unused and cut characters in KOF, such as:
K9999, the totally-not Tetsuo, in KOF Neowave
The overpowered Armor Ralf, who was cut yet still in the game's data in KOF Maximum Impact Regulation A
Orochi Iori in KOF 2002 UM
And the most interesting case, K' Team, Women Fighters Team, and the Mysterious Newcomers Team, that were completely absent in KOF XII, with the two former being observed in the data, while the latter was found on the concept sprites art.
lmao what is that russian worm video
You should be able to find it if you just look up "russian homunculus" or something
Rugalito
