MUGEN/IKEMEN Thread: IWBTG Edition

MUGEN is a freeware proprietary 2d fighting game engine developed by Elecbyte. The engine is written in C and uses the SDL Library, and stages, characters, screenpacks, life bars, and even engine modifications have been made by the community. Although full games have been made in MUGEN, the engine has been widely used to make one's dream fighting game roster and make cartoons fight anime and shit like that. Most recent version is 1.1b, which adds dynamic stage cameras.

There are thousands of guides on the internet on how to manually add characters, stages, and screenpacks (drag character folders into 'chars' folder, stage files into 'stages' folder ,screenpack files/folder into 'data' folder, etc.; then edit select.def), but if you want it to be done a bit easier, then use Vselect:

Although base MUGEN does not have online multiplayer, a fork of MUGEN called IKEMEN has implemented online multiplayer. (Both players have to have the same IKEMEN full game for online to work properly)

Well, you need to know how to code in the C language and use the SDL library to be able to make MUGEN content. However, there is a program called Fighter Factory that makes it easier to create and edit characters, stages, fonts, etc. by providing all the possible tools and functions.

What are some fun chars?

Pretty much any character by 3ha. All of his characters take an established fighting game character and put a twist on it.

YUKACHAN is best 2hu

So take character A and give hims some moves from character B?
Rubbish.

Forgot to mention that 3ha's characters also have different modes, so they are basically 2 characters in one.

How easy is MUGEN to get into? I remember trying to do shit with it when I was a retarded middle schooler.

Probably easier with programs like VSelect for building rosters and Fighter Factory 3 for making characters and stages.
