You all just want “consistency” as you say, it’d be easier to start with something that already has some foundation. It’s not necessarily the FX and all that, had something else been more common, accessible, more been made similar to it, you’d likely have the same result. You don’t seek to “mimic, copy, etc” you simply do your best to expand on it the best you can, at times with our limited abilities.
Not everyone is hardcore, a shame many of you have been discouraged to do anything as you fear that stigma, failure, feel as though anything you do would be inadequate to that invisible standard. The common thing seems to be, “if you don’t know what you are doing, don’t bother” so kudos to you all who have stepped up and actually tried to do something despite this. I’m sure 9/10 of you are self taught, no one teaches this, docs you go.
You as well Akito, you used to request characters all the time lol now you know the joy of creation, you can make anything you want. Learning is fun isn’t it? Long story short, you guys can do it, you should do it! Lol

As a whole whether you can accept it or not we are connected through our love for this. Doesn’t matter where your interests lie, nor is there any competition. All that style bs should just die with that era. Many people are ignorant of mugen and it’s possibilities, see it as a joke. I’ve seen many people prove otherwise, such as those of you who seek to show you can attain stability. Fighting/holding grudges against the only people who do understand/care about this ish. Man oh man how many of you have the same setups I wonder lol, if only you could apply those skills and unify, you could truly make something great or at the very least have fun. Some of y’all knowledgeable as hell, could accomplish a lot with that. You all are talented in one way or another, most if not all of you dabble in art of some kind etc. Just a bunch of artists. You, the individual, are capable of anything. Not my place to say all this, but sometimes you just need to hear it. Your ideas are good ideas. Whatever you are going through with life right now, if you can, try to create. Can be a good stress relief. Bored? Challenge yourself, help someone, learn, bring your ideas to life. That’s what mugen used to be about anyway.
