Would you have preferred Ash Crimson to be an anti-hero or a villain protagonist?
Ash Crimson made his debut in The King of Fighters 2003, and his actions made people believe he was evil.
The King of Fighters XI also implied he was a bad guy, especially since that game also introduced a more obviously-heroic rival for Ash: Elisabeth Blanctorche.
Then, The King of Fighters XIII revealed Ash was an anti-hero all along, as he sacrifices his own existence to defeat Saiki for good.
Nevertheless, would you have preferred Ash Crimson as a villain protagonist, and with Elisabeth being the heroine (not the protagonist, just a heroine); or you prefer Ash as an anti-hero?
I was curious to see what other KOF fans thought.
