What are your thoughts on MUGEN?

That brawler that came out a few years ago was sick but that’s it. Anyway Card Saga Wars and that Ippo boxer need to be finished they look fun as hell, especially Ippo.

There’s also this:

aside from an orginal game what else would help mugen in the eyes of thsoe who dont favor it so much?

theres really nothing else. i mean a better community would be nice, but near impossible to expect because mugen will always attract scrubs.

Mugen is ASS!!! I’m sure everyone has had their Mugen experience. I know I did. Just leave fighting game development to professionals.

But I am giving my last ray of hope in Card Saga Wars…whenever it’ll finally be released that is. :rolleyes:

pffftahah coming from the guy who made cvs3 threads

i do agree since i was a major victim of the community members( some) at once time. i was the most hated man in mugen when i was making gouken

An original good game would probably help a lot…especially the good part.

Two things. 1. Rare Akuma is a parody of all the stupid omega god shin edits. 2. You are still one of the most hated people in mugen, this is why. You really think you can change this forums mind about mugen? Why bother, who cares?! This should not even be such a big topic. Bottom line is as it’s a engine, the hate it gets gets on all people who actually try to do something decent for mugen’s nerves but this is not how you stop it. You of all people have no business defending mugen because you have yet to make something that is worth even looking at. Your gouken flopped, every other character you made flopped. Just stop it and stick to playing actual fighters, from what I hear your ok at them.

This is what mugen is capable of [media=youtube]CsEk_CVOI8E&feature=player_embedded[/media] And this is what it’s all about.

It would be nice if there was a majority english speaking mugen forum focused solely on developing original content. People could form teams (although that might be difficult because everyone seems to want to do their own thing) and try to put out some cool shit. If enough talented-in-mugen-development people were around here I suppose srk would be the best place for a team to form simply because most of us have years of experience playing balanced fighters and therfore might have a better chance of creating something actually viable.

Yeah and now to this day I realize that was a great deal of wasted effort and being ridicule. :rolleyes:

probably the only thing I’ve ever seen that looked remotely interesting and balanced out of mugen: SNK vs Capcom Ultimate 2007 [media=youtube]l-zXuhRvA4o[/media]
Filtering through the tons of horrible mugen videos of ‘‘final evil ken god shun goku satsu’’ when I was simply looking for some tourney vids used to give me a headache and also being that I main Akuma it took my whole pleasure away when pulling off kara demons in 3rd strike no lies.

There have been attempts quite a few times to do that, but those projects have all fallen apart either due to falling interest by the people working on them, poor communication skills, and some completely uncontrollable circumstances in general. Usually the only full game projects that see the light of day are the ones done by a very small group of individuals, and even then it’s a 50/50 shot at a full release. The problem, I think, boils down to not trying to at least have a set timetable for beta-testing and not spreading the work out evenly. You’d need a few people dedicated solely to sprites, a few dedicated solely to coding characters, a few drawing backgrounds, coding backgrounds, etc.

Having actually attempted to start a full game in Mugen, I can honestly say that even failing on one of those levels will doom the entire thing. Also considering nobody is getting paid and the incredible unlikeliness of Elecbyte licensing off Mugen to developers to sell full titles, it’s very difficult to get everyone together and say “Hey, let’s do this.” Though I would say that if something does get started, and hopefully never by Alexlexus (because his standard of quality is complete shit), it would be pretty interesting to see if the SRK community would test it and give out advice/bug reports on how the game should function.

And this is the main reason for disdain: people hear mugen and think it’s all about overpowered characters. There are many editors who keep things sane. I, when I was dling characters, wouldn’t touch overpowered characters, but it they were decent, i’d edit their damage and vitality to a normal level so they would end you with just a couple moves, and would take the same damage as any other character in the game…then I’d assign them as bosses. Ethanlives characters were great once you tweak the damage.

that actually looks pretty good. seems like it has very simple mechanics, but i think thats what makes it seem so good. too many people in mugen try to overcomplicate things for no reason, which just leads into broken and retarded shit.

Normally I’d agree, but in this case, it’s the highly detailed graphics, fluid animation, and tremendous ouch factor that’s doing it for this game. Simply amazing.

from a playability sense… a lot of the “god” characters in mugen have decent graphics too, but they play like shit because they are ridiculously op.

Don’t listen to Alexlexus, he is known for creating bad and unbalanced characters. People like him is what gives MUGEN a bad reputation.

flopped on gouken? he is my best work and i knwo for sure you are only speaking from you own opinion. and my other characters arent even done yet as i clearly stated they are betas. gouken was the only character that got to 100% so far.

as far as me being ok in fighters maybe get on xbl so you can find out.

so maybe you should find more fake facts about my character flop when i have over 3000 downloads off nmo site for gouken

really? like i told kamkazeeiii lol you are only going off your own opinions of me and my work. i am actually doing more good for mugen then either of you two. one day it will come to my name being known more than both of you…oh wait it’s already there. anyways prove that my gouken is unbalanced after everything was fixed. otherwise stay on topic .
