I actually think O.Rugal is a lot stronger than he's given credit 4. He's even the super boss of KOF02UM, over Igniz. Imo, he could B more powerful than Igniz, himself.

Yeah, but it's only a fraction of the power Goenitz has access to.
And Igniz was fairly powerful, he was able to hold NESTS together from the shadows, and they had some powerful dudes in their ranks.
Although, I do wonder if Rugal is really dead, if you have a look at the ending montage of KOF 2002, where Rugal is sitting on his throne, it seems like he's contamplating NESTS. This actually gave rise to a theory that Rugal was running NESTS from even deeper behind the scenes than Igniz was. However, this depends heavily on wether or not Rugal survived 95.
I think Rugal's pretty strong too. I mean, he keeps appearin' in the dream matches and he's always the ultimate secret boss. Well, at least in 02UM and Neowave. And like DSZ said, he may not be dead either. Fan fav for sure.
As for the thread, I'm pretty damn confused cuz I've never read anything that led me to believe the 97 new faces team was ever a match for ol' Leopold. Coulda sworn he was the leader. Like The O Man's right hand. He has been stated to be the leader of the Hakkeshu.
And another thing to just toss out there. Are the NESTS ranks really in order of power? I know C.Zero and Krizalid (Kriz is better than C.Zero) are the weakest but Zero seems like one bad ass motha phucka. Igniz did share a similar rank to Zero and only rose to be the leader by assassinatin' Nests 'after' Zero had already died. Zero prolly coulda stopped Igniz if he was alive.

Considering that all three are facing him and are using their Orochi powers, they would overwhelm him here. I've also read a storyline somewhere that all three in those states were overwhelming the teams.
It just seemed heavily implied that Goenitz (and Yama) was the most powerful of the heavenly kings while I don't remember there ever being anything that actually stated the NFT97 was actually any good.

I've seen the SNK Wiki list Yamazaki as being "too strong" for the other members to take on. Apparently he can also resist the Riot of the Blood due his own sheer will and stubbornness.
Does anyone know how Iori, Leona, and Goenitz slash with their hands as if they had claws? Is it just for style or is there an underlying reason?
DSZ told me along time ago that it was either wind or chi on their finger tips that lead to the slashin'. He could tell you better than I can, tho. I've pretty much forgotten.
