I know MFG has bad blood with MUGEN Archives and such, but what do members of MFG think about outside forums such as:
- Mugen Imperio Latino (Latin America)
- Geocities (Japan
now dead) - Mugen China (Chinese
now dead) - Mugen Revival (South Korea)
- ETC (Anywhere I missed.)
-
The forum is not a single entity so theres no consensus on most of that.
-
Although like how Umezono stated that forums have multiple opinions depending on the individual, I can specifically comment a few generalized statements for each forums.
A) Mugen Imperio is quite good. Lots of Seiya characters and KOF edits. KOFM was made by a Latin Mugen creator as well so that sums it up quite well. Latin Mugen creators are great with edits. Probably the only non-Eng Mugen fourm that's as active as MFG right now.
B) Geocities is now sadly closed, but when it was active the creators were absolutely great and that goes to all Japanese creators in Mugen. They made various, interesting characters with high faithfulness to the original games. Sad that Yahoo decided to close it down.
C) Mugen China is more of a history book isn't it? But when it was active, all sorts of funky stuff came out. Chinese Mugen is well known for priceless edits, conversions and sadly, cheapos. But overall, the community there made great efforts to make the characters interesting.
D) Mugen Revival is a forum I'm afffiliated to currently (outside of MFG), and I don't want to bad mouth anything as much as possible. They make flashy chars with nice coding, palettes and sprite edits. However, my experience with Korean Mugen content creators have been both positive and somewhat negative. They make great edits, but are kind of too conservative. Nothing wrong with that, but the top 3 creators there (also admins for Mugen Rev) never share their chars, stages, bgm and etc. This may seem to be quite unorthodox to some, but Korean Mugen communities are super careful about thievery. I even saw a post that was criticising Chinese Mugen users of stealing his/her chars and that he/she was going to never release anything public at all! and this was only a few days ago!
Point is, every community have ups and downs, but if we talk in a general scope, they do have found traits that's unique to them.

I saw some Chinese char maker also said exactly the same thing....
