Mathrus 2.0 by HelloMyNameIsAAA

;---------------------------------------------------------------

(Summary)

Mathrus is a private character born from the deepest world of the MUGEN cheapie community. Not much is known about it, other by the fact that it is in the supposed highest tier of power (Dragon-tier) and being able to mess with your MUGEN and your computer pretty badly. It attracted quite a lot of negative attention as it proved that MUGEN, specifically the old WinMugen version where similar characters only works, could be used to create nasty viruses.

This very character is a tongue-in-cheek interpretation of whatever Mathrus is, and a parody of works done by the cheapie community in general. Despite that, it is extremely broken, complete with beefed up stats, SuperArmor, both health and meter regeneration, and overpowered attacks including OHKOs.

A less broken version of the character, Lesser Mathrus, is included that puts him in line with classic cheap characters. To use it, change the name of this folder to MathrusLesser.

This characters works for both 1.0 and 1.1.

A legendary M.U.G.E.N character.

tl;dr, there was an alleged race where authors attemped to make the most OP character in WinMUGEN, no matter the cost, and they went too far.

 

Sounds about right.

To be honest, no warehouses or MUGEN websites would take the risk of actually hosting a virus character, and if you have seen a Mathrus there, it is either a joke but legit character (like mine) or a low-key cheapie taking advantage of its name and reputation.

Thinking about it, more people have doubted if Mathrus actually exists, but the fact remains. The idea of Mathrus, dragon cheapies, and whatnot, definitely could be an end result of the alleged arms race that happened within the WinMugen sphere of the hobby, and a clear sign that it went too far. You definitely don't need to be ''in the highest tier of power'' to create something malicious, and there is a few demos of viruses that used WinMUGEN that will obviously stay private.

 

Whatever I have said in the ReadMe, especially the fact that this a parody of cheapie characters, will remains valid as this is why I created this character in the first place.

I know dragon tiers exist, but idk about Mathrus it's just his name has spread around so much and there's no proof or anything of him existing except some random world of warcraft crap
