Most likely the other participants (outside of the agents and hero teams) never progress that far to know that kof is connected to any of the events that happen. Only the finalists are the ones taken to a special venue and learn the true intentions of the tournament. Everyone else just go home and try to do better at the next one.

According to official SNK canon, Ash didn't really sacrifice his existence, but rather his memory is was wiped clean when he "sacrificed" himself to stop Saiki. After Verse was defeated(KOF XIV) and all the people who has died during the Fatal Fury/KOF series were resurrected, Elizabeth and Kukri located Ash in the Ukrainian Carpathian mountains. So that means he could come back at some point as the series go on. That explains why he appears in KOF all-stars.

Ash is such a good protagonist, personal favourite. Love how well he juxtaposes kyo, k', and pretty much every fighting game protagonist at the time of release. If you wanted to write a heroic protagonist who was cool, caclulating and manipulative in a world where the norm is the hot tempered, brash and honest, this is how you do it.

I never really enjoyed playing Charge Characters until I played him. Really Sad he didn't last long in the series, but his story was quite remarking.

These were very helpful for understanding the lore, thank you. KOF is actually my favorite fighting game series closely followed by Mortal Kombat and Smash Bros. So many characters however it's kinda hard to keep track of who is good and who is evil. A lot of the characters seem to be more like anti-heros not straight up evil, but also not really goody two shoes

I always hated Ash because of what he did to Chizuru and Iori. After playing KoF 13, my feelings for him are of true respect.

Kof has always been my life tbh
