To be fair: there are plenty of customizable MUGEN fighting games that are done with passion and very well done. I played a lot one JJBA themed with almost all characters from each part. Something mindblowning for me in 2010 (or 2011, can't remember).

This said: if you know how to customize and have confidence with it the game can give lots of satisfaction and infinite (while still limited obv) possibilities.
The memey part of it (aka putting Homer Simpson or Peter Griffin fighting Goku SSJ) is funny for the first week, after that...yeah, not my thing.

It was still very way ahead of its time, that's for sure.

This is both the worst fighting game ever and the best fighting ever, at the same time

mugen means endless possibilities.
I've spent so much time with this engine over the years. And there's also Saltybet and Ikemen that came from this and, of course, tons of finished full game projects.

If adolescence were a video game, it would be M.U.G.E.N. ...I'll explain it another day.
