This isn't even a game but having Omega Tom hanks be the representative of MUGEN on Backloggd earns its 5 stars.

Senna vs Kenshin in the Mushroom Kingdom

Has the potential of either being the best or worst fighting game you've ever played. But regardless, its still a lot of fun to experiment.

It's the best and worst game.


Se podían hacer auténticas maravillas con esto. Y lo mejor es que no necesitabas hacerlas tú, porque tenía una comunidad muy activa y podías descargarte cualquier cosa que te imaginases. Si un personaje existe, puedes luchar con el en Mugen.

How does one even begin to give MUGEN as an individual concept a numerical rating?

Always a captivating idea for the prospect of cherry-picking your favourite characters from a billion different fighters and slapping them into a single roster, but it's frustrating to figure out where to start. Information is so decentralized, fighters are hard to find and will have at least 14 different versions you have to guess between, and the engine doesn't often play nice with resolution scaling or controller support. It's very much a labour of love. I dream of the day this somehow sneaks onto Steam and gets Workshop support like Rivals of Aether.

If you wanna just skip all the fuss and play a damn good fighting game that's free and has more characters than you could ever possibly need, then King of Fighters Anthology is an incredibly fun and high quality pre-built MUGEN game. Or Hyper DBZ if you'd prefer a similarly high quality game that -doesn't- have, uh, 600+ fighters.

Iron Man, Mario, Goku, Garfield, Homer, TMNT, and Batman in one game? Smash eat your heart out.

Porque Smash cuando puedes tener MUGEN, digo, en este motor de juego te puedes sacar los crossovers mas fumados que te puedes inventar, como Goku contra Peppa Pig, ¿no les parece epico eso?

How could you not love a game where you can make Goku fight Michael Jordan in front of Walter White's house?

I spent way too much time with this when I was a kid.

pretty much the best fighting game and one of the best video games to ever be made

This took up way, way, way, WAY too much of my childhood which could have been spent actually playing the fighting games that these characters I've become familiar with actually come from.

This is just a fun game to mess around with. Hatsune Miku vs Dio Brando in an all out bout for supremacy, just like everyone has always dreamed about. Also Goku.

Sometimes Mugen can be a fun time waster and sometimes it can be a pretty high quality Fighting game engine but sometimes its just fucking Broken and not fun

Vices, madness, passion, hate
Thirst for power and being
Diversion thru oppression
Starts an intense reaction

Trying to say something
You can burn yourself
This game has no rules
No mercy, no compassion

There's only school to enter
And only a language to learn
Nobody can escape
From the laws of scourge

Hunted by all the curses
Our destiny is to join this war
Awaiting our friend, mrs. death
To stitch their last uniform

Fight for what you believe to be right
You just wish and you get (it)
You'll see my friend
We'll gonna win in the end!

You must learn these laws
Or you better kill yourself!!!

Learn how to use your enemies
To manipulate the dolls
To discover who your friends are
And learn how to kill of the false

still watching salty bet to this day

WHAT IS THAT COVER ART LMAOOOO

incredibly dependent on what mods you have, but it can be really fun in how weird it gets

Kof anthology é o melhor, sem mais.


this game kicks ass but you have to make it yourself which can be kind of time consuming
I recommend the works of balthazar + team z2, ohmsby, and brergrsart

The closest any singular video game has ever come to being designated as an SCP
It's like Street Fighter/King of Fighters/Super Smash Bros, if its character roster was built out of the Akashic records and took the form of an impossible shape optical illusion

I don't know how the community is now, but back in the 2000s/early 2010s it was a bureaucratic nightmare hellscape ruled by Napoleons, the worst possible community for a game reliant on user-generated content, with so many rules, moral prohibitions, and warring factions (warehousers vs. creators) that it'd make Kafka shit his pants and die
This game is basically the video game equivalent of the King in Yellow, an impossible forbidden game that drives its players to madness, when I was a 12-year-old autistic child with strong convictions about preservation, my actions in the community made people threaten to kill me and dox me and send fake reports to the FBI over me (which is a felony btw! epic win) which definitely has NOT fucked me up for life with anxiety issues

There used to be a list of "unrequestable characters" that were prohibited from distribution due to stolen code, or stolen art, or because they just didn't like who made them, and that instantly turned every character on that list into a hot commodity all of us WAREHOUSERS just had to find

We were all assholes and deserved each other, like we had all sinned during a previous life and this community was our punishment

P.S.: a "warehouser" is defined as somebody who engages in unauthorized distribution of MUGEN content, you would become a social pariah if you shared characters without permission, even if those characters had been offline for years and would be lost permanently without reuploading, you are still catching a ban
