Stay on target. For too long the definition of “Game of the Year” has been unfairly narrow. How boring is it to see every website shower the same stale AAA games with praise at the end of each holiday season? So at Geek.com we’re doing what we can to put a stop to this in, a new column celebrating worthy alternative picks for the year’s greatest game regardless of genre, platform, year of release, or even quality.
Here, any game can be Game of the Year! Seeing as they are all about who would win in a fight, in the genre, crossovers reign supreme. But for as many developers can cram into Super Smash Bros. And and, they can never present every possible rumble you can dream up. However, one game, or rather one game engine, does offer that seemingly impossible achievement: M.U.G.E.N., this week’s Game of the Year. No one remembers what the M.U.G.E.N. Acronym stands for, not even the developer Elecbyte.
But that’s fitting for this free, nearly twenty-year-old engine with an almost mythic quality. Mugen is an engine for developing 2D, sprite-based fighting games. The Street Fighter-esque fighting system supports all the punch, kick, jump, and tag-team options you want, but it’s up to you how complex you want a character to be.
Whether it’s a highly technical charge character or a fighter who shoots invincible screen-filling fireballs with a single button press, Mugen lets you make whatever crazy cast you want. And the internet has crafted some truly crazy, truly broken Mugen characters. I never thought I would see a fighting game moment more ridiculous than a full-size Optimus Prime transforming into a truck on top of humans and Mario in bootleg hit. But that’s nothing compared to Mugen’s fever dream wonders.
I’ve seen Japanese Ronald McDonald (but not yet) conjure french fry shields. I’ve seen entire tournaments featuring a somewhat balanced roster of Fat Albert characters. And I’ve seen Xenomorph queens spawn alien hordes only to fall to the unstoppable might of Omega Tom Hanks. Mugen is all held together through sheer, stupid willpower and it’s absolutely glorious.
Unfortunately, unlocking Mugen’s mysteries is not for the feint of heart. Not only do you need to be a talented sprite artist and sound designer but you also must have the programming knowledge necessary to code for an aging game engine. This isn’t Minecraft or Super Mario Maker for fighting games. However, getting your hands on such a deliriously dumb tool for creative expression is worth teaching yourself that technical wizardry. Even if you can’t code there are easy alternative ways to enjoy that Mugen magic. Is a perpetual Twitch stream, similar to Twitch Plays Pokemon, that broadcasts an AI constantly playing randomized Mugen matches with user-submitted characters. Viewers can bet virtual currency on who, or what will win the match.
Along with being great TV, there’s a fascinating meta element to Salty Bet because of just how busted, and DIY Mugen is. Someone may have created a very accurate copy of Mortal Kombat’s Liu Kang, but it will get its butt kicked by a poorly drawn Goku with maxed-out stats and a hitbox too small for other characters to reach. It’s like street racing with cars designed by children. Elecbyte’s site is currently down, but there are plenty of ways to download Mugen and Mugen characters and tutorials on the internet if you look harder enough and join the thriving. With enough time and monkeys typing on typewriters, Mugen fight possibilities will encompass every game, so it’s the Game of the Year. Check back next week to read about the next!
I took Jejabu's Golden Immemorial screenpack that was probably based on Capcom vs SNK and made a second version of the last game I compiled for my friends to once again play but didn't because we were all forced to go outside for the last day of school and my computer instantly ran out of batteries. This game includes about 94% of the characters in the last game (being 37 characters returning) and adds an entire 42 more new characters. It also has Felicia and Venom updated to match the game style more or just not suck. Sorry or you're welcome about that last row as my buddies wanted a lot of other (joke?) characters in the game.
If you have a really chill teacher that lets you bring out a laptop and play games in class then: pick this game to play, get a couple of wired or ps4 controllers, and play with your friends, it's really fun. I'm not sure if I'll make a sequel after this one but if I do it'll be during the school year or if I get a bunch or requests somehow in god's way. 168 downloads. There is no tag feature:c (unless you use Felicia as your second character) So I used a MVC1 Screenpack by someone to compose a game for my friends and I to play at school and have a tournament just in case.
There are some very weird character choices for guest characters and I acknowledge that. Like seriously? Duke freaking Nukem? In order characters are Chun-Li Ryu (not uploaded) Zangief (not uploaded) M. Bison Morrigan Captain Commando (not uploaded) Mega Man Roll Strider Hiryu Jin Saotome (not uploaded) Carnage Captain America (not uploaded) Venom (not uploaded) Hulk Thor Gambit Ghetto War Machine Wolverine Deadpool Passive Aggressive Chun-Li Iron Man Ronald McDonald Dante (not uploaded) Thanos Black Panther Jedah (not uploaded) Felicia (not uploaded) Jotaro Dio Batman Joker Duke Nukem Scorpion Nakoruru (not uploaded) 43 downloads. These are actually not Super Mario Bros Z characters, but rather Super Mugen Bros characters, as Shazzo said in readme file with this text string: '(character name) is one of the characters for Super Mugen Bros.'
. Also, Metal Sonic (not to be confused with Mecha Sonic) didn't appear in Super Mario Bros Z. Unfortunately, all that we got from forgotten Super Mugen Bros game is all these characters (and Boo). All of these characters, as Shazzo stated are based on Actarus' (Not) CvS Axel Stone (which Shazzo confuses CvS Axel's author name with EasyChar).
Also they look overpowered because of buffed attack and defence stats to 200 and 150 respectively.
