I feel like talking about Mugen. Share memories, characters matchups and fucking everything up to start all over again.
I thought mugen was the coolest shit ever when I was a kid. Homer Simpson and Goku??Me and my brother would play versus with the controls mapped to the left and right sides of the keyboard.
is mugen even real or is it like a state of mind
>>12517752I just watch saltybet. Always entertaining.
>>12517815It’s infinite and it’s also right now
>>12517815>>12517939Saltybet is the real state of mind
>>12518106It's pure video game and internet culture goodness. As for the OP, I have some memories I'll share later if I don't go to work.
Best character btw.
MUGEN was the coolest shit to me as a teen. Now I'm kinda sad that Saltybet reduced to just a funny meme for most people.
MUGEN is the only game/project where 18+ mods were completely nuked off the internet, never seen that happen before or since.
>>12518570zombie ssj akuma?
are you a kuromaru or a slime type of guy?
I've fucked around with mugen lots over the years. I used to like a lot of the Mega Man characters, and at one point I made a full all-Mega Man roster.Last winter when I got pretty sick, I spent a lot of my free time putting this together. It was fun.
>>12519103How so?
>>12519287Last time I tinkered with mine, most western mugen sites had either deleted or account-gated 18+ characters, along many of the older character and stages. Still don't know why to this day.
Ogata Genpaku was a fully original character with simple graphics from way back in the day. The character actually had a built-in minigame that you could trigger by setting up a mirror match and pressing start. Here's an ancient video showing it off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pH-A7LC6proI remember playing this, it was pretty addictive. I got the character from the mugen archive but I can't get the minigame to trigger for some reason, not sure why. The command seems to still be in the files.>>12519103What do you mean, there's tons of hentai characters out there still.
i think for several years i'd just keep adding characters until it became too much, then i'd delete everything, start over again and repeat the process. i think my favorite characters in retrospect were the ones made by the ubu guy.
>>12519309The_None I remember have a good amount of great characters. Always have Omega Tiger Woods and Evil Kung Fu man in my roster
>>12517752I was really into Mugen when in my early adolescence. I first encountered it via Mortal Kombat Project 4.1, a very specific modification of 4.1 that included the MK3 character select screen music which I've been unable to find since. I thought it was so cool, Mortal Kombat on PC? Wicked sick. Then I looked into it and found the whole world of Mugen. My first "pack", I don't actually remember what you'd call it, but those preset things where you add it into your Mugen and boom you have a startup screen, character select screen, etc. Theme? Either way it was blue and shiny, and really cool. I threw in all the characters from MKP 4.1 in there, all its stages, and heaps of other stuff I'd find like this cool, really aggressive version of Broli. There was also the pre-packaged Mugen named All Characters Battle Zero. It was pretty big at the time, and I remember having to torrent it at mere single digit kb/s. Worth it. For MKP 4.1, that Mugen preset, and All Characters Battle Zero, I would play co-op or watch AI fights with my older brother. He's a year older than me and as such we both grew up on video games together. We used to be really close, now not so much. All Characters Battle Zero introduced us both to Tsukihime / Melty Blood with a modified, souped up Arcueid called Warcueid. Really fun to watch kick other characters' asses. There was Ciel-senpai too but she was called Eleicia in that Mugen. I enjoyed her animations but I thought her drill attack was odd. It was a real almost watershed moment for me, seeing all this cool stuff. Like the Touhou fighting game girls (though I wouldn't get into Touhou until my sophomore year of high school), seeing K9999 who I recognized as Tetsuo from AKIRA, all really fucking cool. I stuck all these characters into that preset I mentioned, as well. Shao Kahn versus Kanna (Touhou character) was fun to watch. It was hundreds of hours of my early adolescence. Good times. cont.
>>12520595I lost that Mugen preset and my version of All Characters Battle Zero on a harddrive move or failure, I can't remember. You actually can't find that specific one, I've looked. Another few memory fragments: My brother really liked Blackheart, always wanted to play as him or watch a CPU Blackheart fight other CPUs. I remember Demon Ryu and Demon Ken being a favorite to watch, or playing as either or. Their taunts are so cool, kicking the ground and shit. Evil Dan was a "main" if you will. I'm not good at fighting games so I would just spam his card attack to win matches.Last bit which actually annoys me a few times a year: There was this cool, raining, tall grass level. It had this Japanese song with male vocals. I would like to know that song, but I wouldn't know how to begin to search for it. >>12519090I don't think it's so sad. Saltybet is an intersection where all manner of internet video game, fighting game, anime fighting game, Touhou, etc. meet and do battle. It uses music from old fighting games, older video games in general, you can figure out the music and artist, you can figure out a stage name and sometimes who made it - Saltybet is a celebration of video games and the internet. I really have nothing bad to say about it except maybe that I miss when it was in its heyday. Nonstop chat scrolling when big shit happened, or when potato fights occurred, etc.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYtgRvyGqiYthis is not a video edit or a joke. Ikemen GO (Mugen engine's current implementation) not only has 3d stages, but 3d characters...little by little, Ikemen is reaching the point it will become THE Fightan engine standard, surpassing everything that came before.
