OMEGA RUGAL
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. (CV: Tsuguo Mogami)

Alongside the launch of OMEGA RUGAL comes a new game mode called BOSS CHALLENGE. Players can take down the fearsome OMEGA RUGAL CPU and gain access to fun content like his special armour, a new stage and new music.
