Does anyone else play it, I just started yesterday and have got a few characters, but I want more, mostly heros like flash and stuff, and maybe Mortal Kombat and Street fighter, does anyone have links to any good ones that still work, or can they send over MSN please.
So who do you want to be out in the game next ?
If this has been made you can close it, sorry but it didn't come up in search.
let me break mugen down for yall
---------------------------------THE FOLLOWING IS FROM MUGEN FIGHTERS GUILD-
Quote from: MUGEN's readme.txt file by Elecbyte, slightly edited to remove a typo
MUGEN is a 2D fighting game engine, but you probably knew that already. MUGEN is also an acronym for something, but we forgot what it is. 🙂
We created MUGEN not only to make a fighting game, but also to let others create their own fighting games. You can control almost every aspect of the engine to suit your tastes. That's the primary goal of MUGEN. Since this is a work in progress, there are many things that it can and cannot do, but here's a short list of some of the things you can do...
- Customizable title screen, character select screen, life and power bars, game sound effects, fonts and more
- Characters can have any number of sounds and sprites of any size limited by your computer's memory
- Up to 12 different color schemes for each character
- Background music can be mp3, mod, midi or CD audio
- Supports keyboard, joystick and Playstation joypads (through the use of a converter).
Game Engine
- Use up to 6 buttons for a character (7 if you count the Start button)
- Regular moves/Special moves/Supers
- Projectiles
- Multiple air jumps
- Move cancel/2-in-1 or whatever you want to call it
- Multi-part moves/throws
- What your character can do is defined by how you build his state machine
Development of MUGEN by Elecbyte has apparently ceased. Nevertheless, it is still widely regarded as the best free 2D fighting game engine in existence. The lastest known beta versions were from 2002, for Linux and Windows. The outdated DOS version is from 2001.
Screenshots can be found throughout this topic, for example.
You should be aware that using any of these versions today is in direct conflict with the License Agreement:
Quote from: Linux/Windows MUGEN's License Agreement by Elecbyte in readme.txt
4. Agreement to this license grants you the right to use the MUGEN environment, version 2002.04.14, until and not beyond 12:01 AM (Greenwich Mean Time) on June 1, 2002. After this time, Elecbyte may, at its sole discretion, choose to offer, or not to offer, a new public license. If a new license is offered, its terms shall govern any continued use of the MUGEN 2002.04.14 beta. If no new license is offered, all use of the 2002.04.14 beta must cease.
5. Failure by Elecbyte to enforce any of the terms of this agreement shall not constitute forfeiture of Elecbyte's right to enforce said terms.
In other words: it is illegal to use MUGEN by now.
* 2002.04.14 for Linux can be downloaded from Random Select, for example.
* 2002.04.14 for Windows was a restricted secret beta and never officially released. After Elecbyte's disappearance a hacked and unlocked version of it has spread to become probably the main M.U.G.E.N version that is still used today. It has a made-up version number and a faked version date because of an initial nonsense hack by "Elecbyte1." Rouhei then further hacked this version to remove the restrictions, so don't let some 2003 date fool you, it is really just the hacked 2002.04.14 version without actual engine updates or improvements. Get this hacked WinMugen here.
* 2001.04.14 for DOS can be downloaded from Random Select, for example. Keep in mind that several standards have changed in the 2002 versions so that creations made for DOS MUGEN may not work at all or as intended in 2002 versions, and the other way round.
On the topic of Windows MUGEN and the acceptance of the hack, there is something I want to say. People usually give it as the commonly accepted answer to the question about justification, and indeed even the final version of the "History of WinMUGEN.txt" file included in Rouhei's download archive ended up saying as much, unfortunately:
Quote from: History of WinMUGEN.txt
This gave no other alternative than to forcibly allow all functions of the original WinMUGEN, which runs faster and optimally on new-generation computers.
This is no excuse. It means: No other alternative (whether there was really no other is another question) to ensure the continued long-term existence of a MUGEN community. That is still no excuse.
"We needed the hack because the MUGEN community probably needed it to exist for a few more years" is leaving something out, unsaid. Something important. Because there is absolutely no need for a continued existence of a MUGEN community. We might want that, but that does not make it any more of a reason or excuse and justification for breaking license agreements.
It makes it more honest, though. The hack was accepted not because it was necessary and necessity made us do it, because we had to. It's similar to people still using MUGEN despite the License Agreement. Ultimately, we just wanted to. And there is no excuse.
Of course, from that point of view there rarely is. Just sayin'. Don't just rationalize it away. As author of the original draft of "History of WinMUGEN.txt" and one of the main influences behind the acceptance of the hack I feel like I have to say something about it every now and then.
Have to? Woah!?
there are several sites for mugen
but since it wont let me post them yet. yall will have to wait..or go check out the M.U.G.E.N fighters guild

You have to extract the files from the ZIP archive to a folder. Then you can extract the files from the "setup" application to the same folder. If you're still confused, just check the tutorials on Youtube.
Do any of you all have the following characters?
1. Cyber Shredder
2. Tails by Ssonic
3. Kamek the Magikoopa
4. Yoshi (I've seen a screenshot of him in action)
5. Cloud Strife
