* [http://www.mugen-infantry.net/ Mugen-Infantry] (A branch forum from the Guild, started around 2004 by DJ-Van, the guy who created the [[All That Glitters|EVE Battle screenpack]], and [[My Friends and Zoidberg|some other guy named Aztec Soldier]] who has since abandoned his admin duties due to a massive addiction to ''[[Halo]]''. Most notable for its constant server downtime and maintenance throughout the years. Has figuratively gone through hell and back, as the entire site was shut down due to Aztec not paying the bills, but it was eventually revived on Blogspot. In 2009 a revolution broke out when the Random Insanity section was removed, which caused the formation of Genesis, as shown below. It has since been brought back, but with roughly half of its supporting members gone. The forum is currently back up and running.
* [http://www.trinitymugen.net/ Trinity Mugen] (Created by Vans, Jesuszilla, and Fusion around 2005, it is as its name suggests. Home of many a worthwhile character and will provide hosting services if necessary). Forum is not much active, most of the action is at the IRC chat.
* [http://randomselect.piiym.net/ Random Select] (A large database for characters and stages. Currently home to the BIJIN engine, an offshoot of the MUGEN clone IKEMEN.)
* [http://mugengenesis.freeforums.org/search.php?search_id=active_topics MUGEN Genesis] (Created by Gamefreak202020. No longer very active.)

Line 71:
* [[Chuck Norris]]: Comes with no hitbox for extra-invulnerable goodness! As the [[Defeating the Undefeatable]] entry demonstrates, though, he's not entirely invincible.
* [[Cloning Blues]]: There are many, many edited [[The King of Fighters|Kula]] and [[Melty Blood|Len]] clones out there.
* [[Combo-Platter Powers]]
* [[Combos]]
* [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard]]: Prevalent in some characters to an uncomfortable extreme. The good news is that some of the more diplomatic creators will include multiple levels of AI for their characters, and for the rest, MUGEN's customizability lets you curb the more insane AI yourself IF you know what you're doing.
* [[Counter Attack]]
* [[Crossover]]: Very often used for this, although gameplay styles won't necessarily mix well, particularly when [[Guilty Gear]] is involved.
* [[Cute Monster Girl]]
Line 87:
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: The [[Blaz Blue]] characters remain almost entirely unaccounted for here. So far, there's a version of Jin known as Ares who plays like a bad [[Guilty Gear|Ky Kiske]] cover band and a recurring meme in which Rugal slaughters Ragna in the prefight intro. Recently Hakumen, Tsubaki, Hazama and the original Jin (with ice) have been ported in. The lack of Blazblue conversions is caused by the large size of the sprites (though there are ways around that) and that adapting the sprites to the proper size does not necessarily make it possible to translate all of the physics and mechanics properly.
* [[Depending on the Writer]]: If about two or more makers share the characters they've converted, don't expect them to be both exactly the same.
** Few makers also are quite ''creative'' in their takes on certain characters. A good example would be The_None's ''[[Not Himself|Possessed]] [[Big Bang Beat|Heita]]'', who has a mode that comes with [[F-Zero|Captain Falcon's]] [[Super Smash Bros.|moves and voice]]. ([[Follow the Leader|Influenced heavily]] with the works of 3ha, which are almost 2 in 1.)
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: If you can beat [[Earthbound|Giygas]], then... well, you have done this. IF you can beat him....
* [[Digital Piracy Is Evil]]: Two forms of it.
** "Warehousing" is the practice of hosting a character on a website without the creator's permission. In some MUGEN circles this is regarded as a disrespectful and dishonest practice, while others simply aren't concerned about it.
** The second one, much more subject to ridicule, is known as "[[Dolled-Up Installment|spriteswapping]]". The "creator" takes another character, and replaces the original character's sprites with his own sprites. In particularly bad cases, the spriteswap will retain the base creation's gameplay elements even if it doesn't match the spriteswap's playing style. Many spriteswaps also tend to have jacked-up stats, making them cheap and over-powered, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkmgpL-ItiE like so.]
Line 104:
** [[Playing with a Trope|Played with]] in Rare Akuma's name and in [http://mugenguild.com/forumx/index.php?topic=80163.msg693076#msg693076 Giji Ultima Gouki Oddity's full name.]
** Rikard attempted to [[Deconstruction|deconstruct]] this trope with ''Slightly Pissed Off Ryu''. Not only did it fail, but Rikard became pigeonholed as the creator of this character rather than his original characters, much to his displeasure.
* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]:
** Don Drago's Zangief With Missiles edit. It's Minmei's KOF Zangief...[[Mnogo Nukes|with missiles falling from the sky.]]
** Big Glitchy Retarded Tiger Woods. The fact that it's an overpowered spriteswap of Claymizer's [[Pokémon|Chansey]] doesn't help one bit.
Line 110:
* [[Fan Disservice]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9rta0oplRc THIS.]
* [[Fartillery]]: Peter Griffin uses farts as a flamethrower (known as the Anal Torch) and also uses farts like a hadouken.
** The goblin character Menelikke does the same in his super. There's also the giantess Delilah who, in one of her alternate versions, has a full screen gas attack.
** And there's also Gustavo, whose only attacks are... well, farts, when attacked.
** Most_Mysterious [[Playing with a Trope|played with this]]. Some of his characters have moves that have farts as a hitsounds (notable examples include Dink Smallwood's ([[In Name Only|who doesn't seem to even look like]] [[Dink Smallwood|the character he's supposed to be]].) [[Morally-Ambiguous Ducktorate|Big Mother Ducker]] (also appearing as [[Bio Menace|Skullman's]] striker) and ''Omega Tiger Woods's'' Shrimp Bus supers).
Line 159:
** [[Looney Tunes|Taz]] uses [[Gasshole|burps]].
* [[Improvised Weapon]]
** [[Watchmen|Rorschach]]. Hairspray. Cooking Fat. Grappling Gun. Toilet. Numerous Others. Hurm. [[Deconstruction]]. Lethal and Gruesome Results.
* [[Inevitable Tournament]]: it had to happen. Some MUGEN forums hold tourneys for fun. While most follow a standard format (usually 1 vs 1 or 4 vs 4), some have fun twists on the genre.
* [[Instant Death Radius]]: Oni-Miko-Zero. Literally. Put her up against any character (save for a few) and that character is DEAD even before the battle starts...
Line 171:
== J-L ==
* [[Jerkass]]: A prominent character trait of certain community individuals.
* [[Joke Character]]:
** [[Original Generation|Gustavo]]
** The Kid from ''[[I Wanna Be the Guy]]''. He [[One-Hit-Point Wonder|plays]] [[Double Jump|exactly]] [[With This Herring|like]] [[Ludicrous Gibs|he]] [[Have a Nice Death|does]] in his original game, so he's not going to be killing Chuck Norris anytime soon. Though he can [[Defeat Means Friendship|get help from his former enemies]], including [[Colony Drop|The Moon]], [[Spikes of Doom|Spikes]], and of course those giant anti-gravity cherries, they are all just as capable of killing him as they are his opponent.
Line 181:
** One of [[Tropers/Seventh And Ninth|The_None's]] [[April Fools' Day|April Fools' Day releases]], [[The Bible|Noah]], whose basic attacks - [[Desperation Attack|when low on health]] - would {{spoiler|stamp you into the scene of ''[[Bruce Lee|Enter The Dragon]]'' to get [[One Hit KO|promptly roundhouse kicked]] by [[Bruce Lee]] himself.}} No wonder [[The Angry Video Game Nerd|The Nerd]] was right...
** Gay Bahamut/Primeus, The God Of Retarded Characters by RicePigeon, most of whose attacks involve notoriously "retarded" characters.
** There's also [[Earthbound|Giygas]]/Ozma, created by fhqwhgads7 and supposedly inspired by Primeus, which is an April-Fools'-joke-character-turned-boss. It's basically a [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever|gigantic floating jawbreaker]] that starts off with Giygas' attacks... and then imitates various [[Youtube Poop]] characters as it loses health and layers.
** Vans' Rock Howard, who has the voice of Urien and whose MAX2 super move destroys the universe, crashing your program in the process.
** Omega Tiger Woods, who can and will soundly pummel almost any character he comes across as long as that character isn't another Omega Tiger Woods. Where does he get that Shrimp Bus from, anyway?
** Someone made a version of [[Super Mario Bros.|Mario]] for MUGEN called "NES Mario". He can only attack by jumping on enemies and he dies in two hits (if you don't press the button to turn into Super Mario again at the expense of some of the lifebar). However, there's something that makes him lethal: Fighting game characters flinch win hit, Mario does not. If you get a window of opportunity, you can just keep on stomping your foe and finish them off in less than a minute.
** Someone also made the classic version of Pac-Man. All he can do is move across the stage and munch on whatever gets in his way, but that's all he needs to do. [[Oh Crap|God help you if he gets hold of a]] [[One-Hit Kill|power pellet...]]
** One of the characters used as a "cheapie-buster" in earlier times was the [[Invincible Minor Minion|Metool]], the [[Mascot Mook]] from [[Mega Man (video game)|Mega Man]]. It had half the attack and defense of a regular character (and died twice as fast), but it was short, making it hard to hit, could spam a [[Spread Shot]] from afar, and it could use its signature [[Made of Indestructium|helmet guard]]. Oh, and that giant metool that [[One-Hit Kill|instantly squished his enemy]].
Line 215:
*** Well, if you don't count her pulling out ''Primeus''.
* [[No Ending]]: Most characters do not have ending storyboards for completing arcade mode.
* [[Non
* [[Norio Wakamoto]]: There's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-H7NbMBB7yk CV-Wakamoto], some... thing with Wakamoto's voice and moves taken from characters Wakamoto has voiced. A edit of Kung Fu Man was released with, you guessed it, Wakamoto's voice. It had most of the moves of Wakamoto's characters, and is incredibly broken.
* [[Nuke'Em]]: The [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|A-Bomb]], a [[Lethal Joke Character]] who can [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|completely OBLITERATE]] pretty much any other character that isn't as overpowered. It can, however, be defeated by a [[Chuck Norris|certain character]], as well as a few others that surpass it in cheapness.
Line 241:
* [[Panty Shot]]: Potentially any girl wearing a skirt; whether they play this straight or wear a [[Magic Skirt]] depends on the game they're ripped from, the franchise they come from, and/or the character maker's personal preference.
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: EvilSlayerX5 as SilverJeric. Not surprisingly, everybody saw through it...
* [[Petting Zoo People]]: Izuko Chrysoberyl and many other characters.
* [[Power Creep, Power Seep]]: Tends to happen when creators don't strictly adhere to the idea of converting characters exactly as they were in the source game. Seravy (the "creator", not [[Akazukin Chacha|the character]]) actually tries to avert the creeping trend, but is often ridiculed for the results.
* [[The Power of Rock]]: Yoma Komatsu rocks out on her guitar and calls on the rest of her band to beat the crap out of people.
Line 275:
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: The readme claims that inspiration for the engine was taken from the PC homebrew ''[[Street Fighter|Street Fighter II]]'' clone [http://www.scary-crayon.com/games/sf2pc/ SFIBM] (at least in part). It also had a modular engine that facilitated editable characters to the point that some [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfzVzOtQ8f0 gained new moves] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NErgvGwXsC0 others were completely broken]. Not unlike many MUGEN characters.
* [[Stealth Parody]]: {{spoiler|1=MC2 did this to EvilSlayerX5 (when he returned as SilverJeric) by [[Latex Perfection|impersonating him]].}}
* [[Stringy
* [[Strong Flesh, Weak Steel]]
* [[Sturgeon's Law]]
* [[Stylistic Suck]]: Kung Fu Man's intro and ending storyboards that come with the engine by default qualify, looking like a kid's crayon drawings. Most_Mysterious's (of '''Omega Tiger Woods''' (in)fame) entire creationhood can be basically summed up as this.
Line 291:
** And his latest (so far) creation, [[Street Fighter|Zan]][[Fatal Fury|geese]] (who also comes with an optional [[King of Fighters|Athena]] movelist....with the voice of M. Bison).
** [[The King of Fighters|He has a Heavy D!]] there, which seems normal....until you hold start and he gains K's moveset.
** 3ha's [[Samurai Shodown|Genjuro Kibagami]] uses a mixture of the Slash/Bust system of ''IV'' with the gameplay of ''V Special'', complete with [[Finishing Move|Zetsumei Ougi]]. Holding start while selecting him, however, lets you control his frog, which has [[Street Fighter|M. Bison's]] moveset and [[Norio Wakamoto|voice]].
** A non-3ha example: the aforementioned [[Tropers/Seventh And Ninth|The_None's]] [[Not Himself|Possessed]] [[Big Bang Beat|Heita]], who comes with a [[F-Zero|Captain]] [[Super Smash Bros.|Falcon]] mode.
** "[[Evil Counterpart|EVIL]] [[An Ice Person|Sub]]. [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent|Rep]]. [[Playing with Fire|Scorp]]." It's a failed attempt to mash [[Mortal Kombat|Sub-Zero, Reptile and Scorpion]] into one character. Although it [[Fragile Speedster|does weak damage, it's too damn fast]], [[Teleport Spam|spams a damaging teleport]], takes advantage of projectile spamming to freeze the opponent, and many, many more bugs.
* [[Take That]]:
** Rare Akuma is the mother of all Take Thats to badly done "Shin", "Orochi" and "Evil" edits of many characters. He has an abundance of special effects, is effectively immortal, and can kill most characters in the space of a few seconds.
** Some guy named thelordanon created an edit of Rare Akuma and dubbed it [http://mugenguild.com/forumx/index.php?topic=80163.0;all Giji Ultima Gouki Oddity] (aka. Giji Rare Akuma, aka., in his own words, "[[Disc One Final Boss|Giji]] [[Penultimate Weapon|Penultimate]] [[Light Is Not Good|Light]] Flawed [[Orochi|Ouroboros]] [[Nightmare Retardant|Daydream]] [[Lawful Stupid Chaotic Stupid|Disorderly]] [[A God Am I|Demigod Ascended]] [[Final Fantasy|Ultima]] Gouki [[Commonplace Rare|Oddity]] [[Power Levels|8999]] [[The Angry Video Game Nerd|AD Mark VI Beta]] [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|(BITCH)]]"). Supposedly he created it as an experiment to see how far people could tolerate [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Rare Akuma's]]... [[Shaped Like Itself|Rare Akumaness]] [[Up to Eleven|set to some number above 11.]]
** There's an entire ''full game'' being made with nothing but Akumas with completely different movesets. The creator of the project, Basara, admitted he's doing it because he's sick of all the Akumas going around.
** MUGEN Gangbang/Gankbank/Tennis, anyone?
** Rikard's most prolific creation is [http://rikard.isthehero.net/SPOryuEN.htm Slightly Pissed Off Ryu], a parody of the various Shin, Evil, Orochi, Violent and Holy Ryu edits on the internet. Rikard's "story" basically sets Ryu as a McDonald's bum, depressed and physically out of shape after finding his wife Sakura cheating on him with Akuma (he has appropriate, and hilarious, victory and winquotes against both of them). His Hadokens are usually a pathetic short range burst, his Shinku Hadoken may u-turn RIGHT BACK INTO RYU'S FACE, he falls flat on his back after a Shoryuken, he sometimes breaks his ankle when he does his trademark Hurricane Kick, and one of his other attacks has him lobbing either a McDonald's meal or ''M. Bison's corpse'' at them. Most Ryus run on graphics over gameplay. This Ryu? Runs on pure [[Rule of Funny]].
** P.o.t.S released [[Street Fighter|Bison]]...''[[Refuge in Audacity|literally]]''. [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|It's an actual bison with M. Bison's cap on its head.]] It uses distorted versions of [[Norio Wakamoto]]'s voice clips from [[Capcom vs. Whatever|Capcom VS. SNK 2]] as well as clips from the [[Animated Adaptation]]. And it's actually balanced to be fought as a boss character, having high stamina, infinite prevention measures, and a very good AI that takes advantage of the character's high power. Instead of being a [[Take That]] to cheap characters as Rare Akuma was, it's a [[Take That]] to [[Joke Character|joke characters]] and serious characters, simply by ''existing''. [[Hilarity Ensues|Hilarity did indeed ensue.]]
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywOQa4Tfp7Y C. Evil Ryu] is one to the [[Mv C]]: EOH collab project by Arpa.
* [[Those Wacky Nazis|That Wacky Nazi]]: EvilSlayerX5 revealed himself as that after he changed the background of his youtube profile into a ''swastika''. {{spoiler|1=Or MC2 just made people believe that.}}
* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: Anything involving [[High-Pressure Blood|lots and lots of blood]], characters with lots of flashy effects, and any attacks that reach the [[Cap|999 combo limit]].
** Ironcommando is pretty much a top contender if not outright the [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Overkill Overlord]]. Once he became much less egotistical and willing to listen to feedback, he stopped adhering so strictly to the trope.
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: [[Pingu]], [[Garfield]], [[The Simpsons|Homer Simpson]], [[Super Mario Brothers|Princess Peach]]... The list goes on.
