God Rugal

God Rugal (ゴッド・ルガール, God Rugāru) is one of the final bosses that appears in Capcom vs SNK 2. Essentially, this version of Rugal combines his Orochi power with Akuma's Satsui No Hadou. He is known as "Ultimate Rugal" in the American version. He is voiced by Toshimitsu Arai.

Story
After he defeats Akuma in the tournament finals due to Bison's interference with Akuma, Rugal gains control of his enemy's power. Invigorated from his win, he decides to test his new found strength on the winners of the tournament. If the player defeats him, Rugal will be overwhelmed by the Hadou power, which creates an entirely new entity (or may he had merged with Shin Akuma). It leaves after declaring its existence in the world.

Personality
He prides himself on becoming the "ultimate being". Other than that, his personality is the same as before.

Powers

 * Gather Energy - Rugal can channel energy from Gaia and from other sources.
 * Sense - Rugal can sense the chi energy of people nearby.
 * Energy Projectile - Rugal can fire Geese Howard's Reppuken and Wolfgang Krauser's Kaiser Wave.
 * Energy Reflector - Rugal can create a shield of energy that reflects projectiles.
 * Slashing Hands - Rugal can make his hands become like knives.
 * Slashing Aura - Rugal can create an aura of cutting energy around his legs.
 * Orochi Energy - Rugal can inject his opponents with Orochi energy which explodes soon after.

With the Satsui no Hado, Rugal has also gained these powers.
 * Teleport - Rugal can shift short distances, ghosting images of himself along the way.
 * Shun-Goku-Satsu - Rugal can perform his own version although not too different from Shin Akuma or Evil Ryu's versions of this deadly technique.

Fighting Style
He gains more speed and a higher priority with his attacks. Aside from that, his fighting style remains mostly unchanged, though he does gain Akuma's Shun Goku Satsu and Ashura Senku techniques, as well as another new super combo.
