@Katros Ok that would make sense. As I think I remembered trying the taunt method again at least once but got Shin Akuma.

The Groove Points makes sense as I've only hit over 1500 points once which was when I faced Ultimate Rugal.

Thanks for clearing that up and lets hope that puts the mystery to rest.

@LewSaber I did some further testing and it seems that despite what I initially researched, the Groove you select is irrelevant. I attempted to get Shin Akuma to show up, first without doing 4 taunts in the first 4 rounds to see if he'd show, and from what I've seen, it's got to do with how many Groove Points you've got (as well as the other requirements)

In one of my runs, I got less than 700-800 Groove Points and always fought Dictator, but when I got at least 730-800, I fought Geese. I then made a save state for the Final Match, and when getting around 1059-1350 Groove Points, I consistently fought Shin Akuma, but only when I reached 1500 did I run into Ultimate Rugal.

So overall, it seems that the SNK Bosses require more Groove Points to face than the Capcom ones do.

I've been following this guide. Very helpful. However, despite picking the Capcom grooves (C and A) and fulfilling the other conditions (Defeating Bison/Geese and performing a Dramatic KO), I kept on facing Shin Akuma. This happened a couple times in a row using a team of full Capcom characters and SNK characters.

Looking around, I've found this https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/gamecube/557563-capcom-vs-snk-2-eo/answers/293226-how-to-fight-ultimate-rugal which says Taunt 4 times in the first 4 rounds...which sounds crazy but it worked for me (to be safe, I've taunted 4 times in every round).

It could be case of being random since other sources were suggesting this but I find it hard to believe.

For the record, when I finally faced Ultimate Rugal, I was using the P Groove using Haohmaru, Kim and Iori and I fulfilled the other conditions besides the Groove Points.
