As most of you probably already know, r/MUGEN is owned by MUGEN Archive and as such bans people for the same frivolous reasons as that site, blocks all discussion of other MUGEN communities, and has all links in the sidebar point to MUGEN Archive. A few years ago, a couple of people opened up the subreddit r/MUGENFreedom as an alternative subreddit people can post to. Unfortunately, the only active mod deleted their reddit account a few months ago due to the API changes (which is fair and I don't blame them). Since I felt an alternative was still important to have on the platform, I've taken ownership of r/MUGENFreedom. It's been given a fresh coat of paint, new rules, flairs, all the good stuff. If you want to join a subreddit dedicated to MUGEN, please come on by.

Also Windows 11 has now added native support for RAR and 7z: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/windows11-getting-native-support-for-7-zip-rar-and-gz-archives/ . To speak frankly here, there is literally no reason to support RAR but not support 7Z. Everyone who can open RAR files can also open 7Z files, and 7Z is generally a better format. 7-Zip is also free software while WinRAR is technically not. Having 7-Zip installed lets you right click and compress as 7z immediately while it takes extra steps to compress as RAR. All around it'd be a lot more convenient if I could upload 7z here as that's what I prefer to use everywhere else.

It's between Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I have a lot more history with SOTN and have played it far more, but Dragon's Dogma hits so many of the marks of what I actually want in a game. I can't wait for Dragon's Dogma 2.

I'm still trying to work out a good final boss for my build. I don't want it to be one that's already a final boss in a fighting game. I like Asura, the fusion of God Rugal and Shin Akuma, but he's not very strong especially when compared to the likes of Onslaught or Abyss. But I don't want it to be so strong that it can't reasonably be defeated by players. Not gonna lie, I'm kind of considering God Orochi as the ultimate final boss.

View File Capcom vs SNK HD Black Edition Screenpack for IKEMEN Go 0.99RC3 (1280x720) WARNING: This screenpack is designed for use in IKEMEN Go 0.98.2 specifically. It will not function correctly on MUGEN. (But if you want it on MUGEN 1.1, you can get it here.) Screenpack by Devon, ported to IKEMEN Go by me. I've brought back this screenpack using the actual motif that was originally designed by Devon. I didn't feel it right that I had released his work under a new name. I've included an alternative .sff file you can use if you want to use the old "Infinite Legacy" name and logo instead. The lifebars are the ZIRU-STYLE lifebars, ported with IKEMEN features by xcheatdeath, and further modified by me to fit the screenpack and add ratio support. There are 120, 204, 492, and 840 slot versions. The default is 204. Submitter OroCrimson Submitted 02/19/2023 Category Screenpacks  

View File Infinite Legacy X HD Screenpack by OroCrimson (IKEMEN Go 0.99 RC2) Warning: This Screenpack only works with IKEMEN Go version 0.98.2 (possibly higher) set up with a 16:9 resolution! This is not designed to work on MUGEN. Warning 2: Version 1.1 will not work on IKEMEN Go versions older than 0.99. If you're still using 0.98.2 for whatever reason, use version 1.0. Youtube Preview: I'm back with another screenpack for IKEMEN Go! This is my favorite to date. I felt inspired by the aesthetic of 90s Capcom fighting games, and wanted to encapsulate that in a screenpack for my personal IKEMEN compilation. I also wanted to make something new using the techniques I learned from editing Devon's CVS Black screenpack (into Infinite Legacy for IKEMEN). Thus, Infinite Legacy X was born! Features: Uses standard MUGEN portraits for ease of use. A 504 slot mode for simple use, and a 700 slot mode for more character slots and a slightly better look (imo) at the cost of simplicity. Supports IKEMEN features such as combo and tag toast messages, 3v3 and 4v4 battles, ratio battles, and tag battles. Comes with the option to use PotS's active tag system (had to include it as the tag toast message is part of the tag.zss). Or, if choosing to use the default IKEMEN tag, includes a fix that improves compatibility some by changing the tag states used. Thanks for downloading and I hope you all enjoy!

View File Silver Samurai Made by Corntortillas Found this on the Wayback Machine while looking for a good Silver Samurai, shared here for archival purposes. Redhot's is bugged with Ikemen's tag mode so I went looking for another one. This one isn't as good, but is passable. Will continue looking for more.

View File Shin Koihime - Wall Stage by The Pierrot Modified by me for use in 16:9 builds (localcoord 427 characters). WARNING: This was edited using IKEMEN GO 0.98.2. As it turns out, the way IKEMEN GO 0.98.2 fits stages is different from MUGEN 1.1 and IKEMEN GO 0.99.x. When IKEMEN GO 0.99 is released, I'll update this to support it.

View File IKEMEN Generations HD Screenpack by OroCrimson (IKEMEN Go 0.98.2) Warning: This Screenpack only works with IKEMEN Go version 0.98.2 (possibly higher) set up with a 16:9 resolution! This is not designed to work on MUGEN. I said I'd do it 4 months ago and I finally got around to it. This is a remaster of my MUGEN Generations screenpack, but for IKEMEN. While I kept the core simplistic design of the original, I wanted to correct what I considered to be some egregious errors as well as create all new health bars that look a lot more polished than the original, and take advantage of a lot of IKEMEN Go's additional features. Most especially, I wanted to let the user install this cleanly rather than providing it with a full MUGEN install like I did before. Features: -A category-based screenpack, something I haven't seen for IKEMEN yet. -Literally infinite character slots, believe it or not. -Unlike MUGEN category-based select screens, it doesn't rely on an "invisible grid" that makes switching categories confusing. -Really cool custom made lifebars based on KOF 2002 -Support for IKEMEN's additional features and modes. Known jank: This screenpack uses IKEMEN's shared slot feature to allow for infinite character slots. This does create a few eccentricities not found in the MUGEN version however: -When toggling through characters in a category, it'll change that slot for both players. It's best for both players not to browse the same category at the same time. -When returning to the character select screen, rather than the cursor remembering what character you last chose, it'll instead be on the first character of the category you chose. -There is no sound effect when switching between characters in the same category. There is nothing I can do to fix these issues, as that's just how the engine works with this feature at this time. Submitter OroCrimson Submitted 07/21/2022 Category Screenpacks  

you gave us a mystery box full of boogers? that doesn't seem very nice

I like Asura (The fusion of Rugal and Akuma). It's a character we saw briefly at the end of Capcom vs SNK 2 that never got realized canonically since then, but we got it in MUGEN. It feels like a perfect MUGEN final boss. Rugal already feels like a perfect boss for any tournament setting, and a multiversal one at that is pretty good. Add in his God Rugal powers and Shin Akuma's power mixed in to make Asura and it just seems really cool. Unfortunately, he just isn't "boss-y" enough to compete with a lot of other MUGEN characters. A MUGEN boss should be the boss of all bosses, and Asura is actually decently balanced for a boss character and his AI isn't that harsh either.

Well now I'm confused.

this is one thing I dig about IKEMEN, that we can also exclude characters from Survival there too so that we don't get our whole run stopped by an Akumus Rarus On the other hand, I think it's kinda funny having him in massive rosters. Out of 1000+ characters, encountering Rare Akuma lives up to his name.
