GENERAL/STORY:
Ash doesn't look like much of a fighter, but he employs a deadly fighting style very similar to Remy's and Guile's. He wields green flames and has a flamboyant, yet evil and mysterious personality. His motives for entering is to take the powers of the descendants of the clans who sealed Orochi away 1,800 years ago, Kyo Kusanagi, Iori Yagami and Chizuru Kagura, for unknown purposes. He is successful thus far, leaving Kyo as the last power he needs to steal.

 Ash is cunning and manipulative, often condescending friend or foe to his whim, and has ambiguous morals in his actions. He often gains his teammates through promises that he can fulfill, though he rarely specifies the means of granting them. Despite seeming frail by appearance, Ash is powerful as he is able to defeat Iori in his Riot of the Blood state seemingly with ease and also has the unique ability of creating green fire.

REVIEW:
When he debuted, one could say that Ash was definitely guilty of stealing Guile's special moves. On the same token, that actually gave us "Guile players" a character to use in the KOF series; which wasn't really a bad thing at the end of the day. 

Ash is a weird character design for sure, and is clearly very in touch with his feminine side. I suppose he can pull off that girly look and those overly flamboyant mannerisms in Japan, but most Americans will never understand this design... And yes, that includes me.

SNK fleshed out his design a lot more in KOF XII, his new stance and moves adding much more to his design. Love him or hate him, Ash has become an effective character and somewhat of an anti-hero in the KOF series; and has a some considerably unique moves.
