Title: Games you discovered through Mugen?
Post by: Niitris on December 24, 2014, 05:42:55 pm
What are some games that you never think you've would known about if it wasn't for Mugen? It's pretty neat hearing about games I never knew about and/or existed.

For starters, although I had heard of it, I knew close to nil about Asuka 120% until a couple months ago.

This, and I'll add Big Bang Beat. Knowing both started as eroges was quite a shocker for me at first, but got used to them. I'd add Arcana Heart too.

I learned what Segare Ijjiri was. And I'm happy about that. There was also Rakuga Kids, most Amiga stuff, Doraemon (which I learned about that SNES Doraemon game.) Saturday Night Slam Masters, Persona, some doujins(Not FK stuff, EFZ, knew what TH was due to a "HARDEST BOSS EVER" video, and a few others) DoA, Battle K Road, Guilty Gear, KOF, and AH.

I can't think of any.  Not any that immediately come to mind at least.  Probably some obscure DOS or bootleg game but even then I probably know about it because of Melvana first.

Just to list out:

-Melty Blood
-Arcana Heart
-Big Bang Beat
-Touhou (series wise, including the fighters)
-Azumanga fighter
-Eternal Fighter Zero
-Dong Dong Never Die (Thank you Melv)

Pretty much Doujin fighters (along with an obscure one).

Also, did you ever play a fighting game before mugen?

Yep. Mainly Capcom Fighters (Street Fighter) and SNK fighters before Mugen came along.

Since I'm a boring guy that really only pays attention to releases from games I've played I can't say MUGEN made discover new games as much as friends in the MUGEN community did. They brought weird arcade fighting games hardly anyone has heard of like Survival Arts and Doujin games like Melty Blood to my attention.

Anything Touhou related....knew nothing of that Universe until mugen

Oh, that and Melty Blood
Title: Re: Games you discovered through Mugen?
Post by: MysticSoldier5 on December 26, 2014, 07:39:06 pm
A lot of fighting games apart from the Touhou fighters or Smash Bros. Will probably post more later, but that's the first thing that comes to mind for me.

Post by: -Whiplash- on December 26, 2014, 07:52:00 pm
I got into MUGEN after discovering MVC2 and CVS2 (both of which got me to look into games by Capcom and SNK), so, SNK and Capcom Fighters were already known to me.

I had also known About Arc System works and Touhou because of a friend, however I had no idea that Touhou had fighting games until MUGEN.

So, I guess Melty Blood and Doujin Fighting games in general were shown to me through MUGEN.
Title: Re: Games you discovered through Mugen?
Post by: Japanese Jesus on December 26, 2014, 07:56:55 pm
Some doujin games like EFZ and Melty Blood; Spelunker via this weird meme in Japan that eventually spread to MUGEN creations.

Wow, never heard or seen a quite a few games mentioned in this thread. Damn there really were a ton of fighters being pumped out in the '90s.

I also found out about Battle K-Road and Variable Geo through it all. And Tokidensho Angel Eyes.

Pretty much all fighters not from Capcom, SNK, or arcsys. Especially doujins.

Also The Black Heart, Shades of Manhatten, Capcom vs the World, and Hyper Dragon Ball Z! :o

I would never have known about Melty Blood and, by extension, Tsukihime if it wasn't for MUGEN.

Funny story, my first mugen fight I saw was Evil Dan v. Reu Ryu/Ken on austrailian outback. I thought those characters came from SFZ ( Street Fighter Zero) and almost bought it off ebay. I also didn't know that was also still street fighter alpha SMH

Perfect Soldier. I thought that Arabian Moon was an SNK edit. It surprised me Irem made a fighting game because they were known for the R-Type series.
Title: Re: Games you discovered through Mugen?
Post by: Insigniawarfare on December 29, 2014, 06:51:34 am
Mostly Doujin fighters but for example:
-Yatagarasu
-Daemon Bride
-Melty Blood
-Big Bang Beat
-Rising Eclipse
-Dynamite bomb
-Ougon Musou Kyoku
-Genpei Tou Ran/The Genji and Heike Fight War
-Xuan Dou Zhi Wang/King of Combat: I still haven't been able to try this but i really want to. I just want to see how similar it is compared to KOF.

Persona
Capcom vs SNK (and from it: King of Fighters, Street Fighter [believe it or not, I never knew of SF's existence :-\], Garou, Fatal Fury, The Last Blade, Psycho Soldier, Samurai Shodown, Rival Schools)
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Marvel vs Capcom/MvC2 (and from it: Strider, Captain Commando, Three Wonders, Star Gladiator,Darkstalkers, Cyber Bots)
Power Instinct
Rage of The Dragons
Guilty Gear
Dead or Alive (found out about it after seeing chuchoryu's Ryu Hayabusa)

So glad I found out about these games, because I fucking love them :D

I'd like to add Ehrgeiz (from that Ehrgeiz Cloud Strife edit), Big Bang Beat, The Rumble Fish, Melty Blood: Actress Again (whatever the fuck that means), Daemon Bride, Yatagarasu, Kizuna Encounter, and Chaos Code.

Yeah, I was basically fighting game illiterate before MUGEN, and the only fighting games I've ever played before finding MUGEN were Mortal Kombat 4, Def Jam: Fight for NY and Killer Instinct.
Title: Re: Games you discovered through Mugen?
Post by: Niitris on December 29, 2014, 06:49:51 pm
I'd love to see Fight for NY conversions in Mugen (I know, 3D wrestling game but that's besides the point).

I forgot to mention Primal Rage.

Post by: Lith on December 30, 2014, 01:23:34 pm
Rage of the Dragons, but besides that I got more familiar with all these different games because of it, like sure I knew what KoF that was but I never really dabbled into it until I used characters from it in Mugen.
