it's a late april fool's gag but i would've made and released this any time and i was planning on doing an ai of this for a long time

And for those of you who don't get the "Rare" prefix, allow me to explain. Someone on Salty Bet sent in Nabeatu with Goemon's AI patch and named it "Rare Nabeatu" in honor of the almighty Rare Akuma. Salty added the character for the EX update in February 2014 (damn, has it been five years already?!). SpaceMouse decided to create an AI patched/edited version of Zabi known as "Rare Zabi." Then the meme (more like an in-joke) took off from there (Rare Tingle, Rare Darth Vader, Rare Gregorious (sic; it's actually funnier spelled this way), etc), though at a rather glacial pace.
