Has anyone ever seen this? I stumbled on it while looking for Metal Slug speed runs. It looks like it must be a cracked version of Marvel Vs. Capcom, but if that's the case, I wanna know how the hell it was done, what it's running on (arcade, mame, whatever), and what I need to make it happen. Looks like I would have a blast with this.
Looks like Mugen.
MUGEN is a 2d fighting fan's dream application. It's been around for 7 years but the group that developed it stopped around 2001~2002. People have been ripping sprites from various 2d games and "porting" it to the MUGEN engine and there are hundreds of fighters out there. The biggest contributors come from Japan, the US and Brazil. There's a billion other youtube videos of it.
that's too fucking cool, thanks guys.
so do you have to import everything yourself and then create all the moves and all that? seems like that could get pretty complicated.
MUGEN is available for Windows, Linux and Xbox and can run pretty well on a Pentium II system or higher. The basics is to download the MUGEN application (WinMugen) and then you have to scour the intarwebs for characters and stages. The files are usually zipped or RARed and you place these files in the appropriate folder. You can edit the text files to add the characters into MUGEN or get a helper application like Mugen Configurator (the language is portugese by default but you can load the english language pack)--you need to put a little work into it. Alternatively you can find various torrents where everything is preconfigured along with hundreds of characters and you just run the application. You don't have to edit character moves unless you want to create a character yourself.
The best MUGEN fight ever was Homer Simpson versus Sephiroth, Sephy being a completely original sprite.
In MUGEN there is a 2 VS 2 Mode that my friend and I play like every week. It's basically like Guilty Gear Isuka (4 player simultaneous) us versus 2 ai. One of the best originally created characters for MUGEN is Sandman in the style of Marvel Superheroes/VS. Here he is fighting a Superman based on the Magneto sprite:
The Sandman creator also created an original Thor and Wonder Woman.
:lol: Holy crap, that Sinister Six super was awesome.
I can't believe the talent the people doing these things have, it's better than most official work.
I miss Capcom 2D fighters. :cry:
It's just weird, tho they look like orginal sprites they are just painted over old sprites.... Superman is using Magneto's sprite, Wonder Woman Psylocke and Thor is Colossus.
Thor got his shit wrecked.
I need to get Mugen and start playing around with some of these characters. I remember seeing a video of Batman versus Orochi-Dan and it was awesome.
The creator of that Wonder Woman sprite brought great justice when he gave her those juicy thighs.
My friends swear by this thing, but I've just never had the time to try it out.
Pardon, I've had the time, but not the interest. It looks cool, but I think it might just require too much effort.
Are there any pre-packaged versions of this floating around? I'd like to check it out, but I really don't feel like compiling this shit.
Search the torrents for MUGEN packages. Demonoid had a good one a few weeks ago.
Follow-up question: any with functioning net-code?
Wonder Woman clearly has some psyloche animations in there.Quote:

Also FYI: MUGEN does support hi-res sprites. People have ported Guilty Gear and Hokuto no Ken characters:
I've been following MUGEN for years (even contributed Paypal to the original dev team) The stuff people have been doing with it is still amazing.
Yeah. Thor uses some edited frames from 3rd Strike Alex and other stuff as well, Sandman is a composite of Shigen from Last Blade, some Venom and some Viktor from Darkstalkers and others. Still the amount of time and effort to make the chars is impressive.Quote:

Although the idea is fucking cool as hell. Thanks to everyone for the vids, I really wanna go get this shit now.Quote:

Anyone that has played Mugen knows that there is only ONE character you worry about. Pure power in it's most unbridled form and 99.99% unstoppable by any other creation for the Mugen engine. Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you OMEGA TOM HANKS.
haha,wtf he's invincible, Dan couldnt lay a hand on him.Quote:

lol, MWF beat me to the OMEGA TOM HANKS post.
you gotta love a game that can let you play Raiden vs a Powerpuff girl.
That was funny until you realize the flying DVDs is all there is to it.Quote:

I wish the people who made Mugen would just release their source code already so we could get some actual improvements to the engine and the dev environment.
There's a similar project called ShugenDo that has the potential to pick up where Mugen left off.
They haven't? If so, what's the hold-up? They stopped working on Mugen years ago.Quote:
