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.
