Crazy to see a lot of my work featured in the roster and Flock of Falling Father Figures even making the highlights, I'm glad people still get enjoyment out of what I do.
I'm just imagining how crazy the room would have got if both players decided to go random and pick a random stage only for the whole reveal to lead to two Kung Fu guys at the default Mugen stage. Ending where Mugen begin, it would have been poetic and made into memes
God the setup, prizing and just primitiveness and jankyness of it all makes me nostalgic for 2000s and 2010s. I know it's not but i miss tournaments like this.
Lol tell me about it. I saw a lot of late 2000s anime and game characters, since they were probably all made during the height of Mugen's popularity. Old gundam, Umineko, Magika Madoka, Ytp Mario, the giant orange cat from Azumanga Diaoh, the OVA Jojo, and other memes were all really popular around that time.
@@Sykroid I unironically find Haruhi to be one of the most fun characters I've played in a fighting game period...and she's stuck in MUGEN. Its so sureal seeing essentially a "joke" character get so much attention! lol
@@Alienrun lol that's actually awesome to hear. When you allow basically ANYTHING in a fighting game, you get some amazing creative ideas. Kinda sucks you can't do that anywhere else though lol
There's a reason Saltybet has been running so long, and is still a great time. M.U.G.E.N. is simply a perfect marriage between skill and humour, community creations and reverence to classics, insanity and understandability. As long as both fighters are on an equal playing field, and the damage doesn't go Mexi all the time, it's a blast of grand proportions. Keep up the good work, and have a nice day.
Notably, it's great for the damage to go Mexi SOME of the time - always hilarious when some potato AI DBZ character gets mollywhopped for 60 straight seconds only to pull a single beam super out of his ass that deals 300% damage instantly
@@Aburaishi We all love a Mexi beam, especially when it's a dramatic table turner, but if every fighter had every button deal a billion damage, I'd rather be watching Dive-kick.
The flock of falling father figures is one of the best things I've ever seen. From the amazing name, to the reference, to the mechanics, it's just hilarious and absolutely perfect.
I would love to have a real mugen tournament with balanced characters, something like, you present yourself with your character, it gets tested and you can enter the tournament...
That would be really dope to be honest...similarly to how every individual copy of mugen is personalized, every local will have their own personalized version of mugen that gets slowly updated by the comunity with characters they want in that aren't overly broken/cheap!
The excitement and comradery during the tourney is something I miss seeing. I feel like you don't see stuff like this anymore because tourneys/speedrunning events are so commercialized now.
I was just thinking the same thing. Most tournaments now are broadcast around the world and have a ton of standards and they try to be sterile. I miss seeing a bunch of people get together for some good ole speedrunning races, but now they're all sponsored and they all have a big in-person crowd that has to be entertained. It's like everything is an extension of Twitch chat now
It's a consequence of getting bigger, I guess. I just wish this didn't have to die. Even if there was something like a "fun only speedrun event" it'd become directly controversial to go there because they don't have an HR/PR department to constantly hassle them over pronouns and microaggressions. Then participants wouldn't be allowed at AGDQ/SGDQ.
Fun fact about the boiling frog experiment; The frogs only refused to jump out after being lobotomized, much like how Madoka lobotomized kermit with that braindead play.

this is actually a pretty cool idea, just balance the characters out a bit and you not only have one of the most interesting fighting games out there but also one that can incorporate characters from any franchise
