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.

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.

They hated Ash then; But they love him now (post XIII).

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.

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.

It'd be funny if the SNK devs literally gave Ash a band named that as a fuck you, and the fan base actually liked it.

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."

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)

BTW Ash could use iori's flame on KOF XIII,just in his Neomax tho

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.
