Yea, how does this not have to do with anything again?

actually I feel it does have stuff to do with him this thread is about HIM after all. besides the fact hes literally stealing work, not edited passing off others work as his, THAT is against the rules.

His forum behavior is completely irrelevant to the character.

Unless you are discussing something in or relating to this particular character, don't post in this thread. These are pretty simple rules, folks; they apply to everyone equally.

You guys should realise by now after all those crappy characters his put out that you should just ignore anything that has his name on it.
and besides, it was released on MMV, which is like how cvg used to be, basically release anything and heap in the praise from everyone, thus leading you to think you are good at what you do. hardly anyone there even gives feedback, its always"wow, cool char" or "nice +1" etc.

again hes stealing work without giving credit to authors. is that ok? that does pertain to the char does it not? My point still stands.

Whenever you make something available on the Internet you run the risk of someone taking it and claiming it as their own.  In MUGEN, it can be as minor as someone borrowing a block of code (something you probably wouldn't even notice in most instances unless you download every character and scan it for similiarities) to an entire character being ripped off.  This kind of stuff has happened since the beginning of MUGEN, well before zealots for the cause started popping up and screaming in every thread.  The fact of the matter is that there is no way you can stop this.  You can put stuff forbidding it in your readme and people can still do it.  We can ban people and people will still do it.

Furthermore, unless your creation is 100% original, the odds are you used sprites/sounds/concepts without permission (which some companies, but not all and it shouldn't be assumed as such, have said is okay) AND on top of that downloaded and used a ROM to do it (which NO company has or will EVER say is okay).  I'm not condeming anyone for such behavior, as doing stuff like that is the nature of MUGEN.  Instead I'm saying that causing a fuss over someone taking something of yours is more than a little hypocritical, and you should be aware of your own behavior before lashing out at others for doing the same.

Should you lift considerable parts from another piece of MUGEN content to use that in your "own" work without mentioning this fact to anyone and this circumstance is later discovered (very often, it is!), it would end up making you look pretty silly in many people's eyes.

But we would not ban you for it--if you admit your actions and don't act stupid about it. Needless to say, it would be better if you made it public knowledge just what you have taken from which source from the beginning (in a readme file, for example).
