This is a peculiar problem. Any slight modification of any cns file of ZERO Rugal by "ALLIES" lead into this screen showing up whenever he is used:



The announcer still says "round 1 fight," and I am still capable of modifying the round by clicking on F2 and emptying P2 lifebar or clicking on "enter" to fill both lifebars and powerbars.. all while that same position with that same screenshot stays still and the game doesn't move forward.

PS: the warning more or less says "this char has been modified by bad intentions."

Well, it's clear that the author doesn't want you to edit him. I believe a few more characters do that, but I'm unsure.
What's the thing you edited?

Yes, it's pretty intersesting to know what you actually edited.

BTW I didn't know such a "protection" existed...

If your edit is interesting, and don't actually break the character "balance", a fast way to fix it would be to delete the sprite itself.

Thank you guys for answering; all I edited was basic stuf such as def/attack values, guardflags...etc.
I will try deleting the sprite itself and see if it solves the problem.

I myself have never seen such a protection before and never knew they existed as well. It would've been fine if the character didn't have ridiculous defense and attack values.

Deleting the sprite doesn't do anything. The game is still stopped and slightly darkened but this time without the writing.

I tried to look for that writing in the animation section and use the number to find it in the cns and hope to figure out the source of it but to no avail; that writing does not exist in the animations.

Welp.  We need to think about how this could be possible.  If you want to change the power and changing the power makes this happen, then it is checking for power.

So... In "ZERO Rugal_N0.cns", Statedef -2, we find this:

Code: 
[State -2, SuperPause]
type = SuperPause
trigger1 = authorname != "ALLIES"
trigger2 = Name != "ZERO Rugal-ALLIES"
trigger3 = Const(data.life) != [1000,3000]
trigger4 = Const(data.attack) != [100,300]
trigger5 = Const(data.defence) != [100,300]
trigger6 = Const(data.power) != 10000
anim = -1
darken = 1

Want to null that.

Find some more junk later by searching for "10000"...
Code: 
[State 0, Explod]
type = Explod
trigger1 = authorname != "ALLIES"
trigger2 = Name != "ZERO Rugal-ALLIES"
trigger3 = Const(data.life) != [1000,3000]
trigger4 = Const(data.attack) != [100,300]
trigger5 = Const(data.defence) != [100,300]
trigger6 = Const(data.power) != 10000
anim = 99999
id = 9999
pos = 0,100
postype = left
bindtime = -1
removetime = -1
sprpriority = 9999
ontop = 1
removeongethit = 0

More in statedef -3

Code: 
[State -3, SuperPause]
type = SuperPause
trigger1 = authorname != "ALLIES"
trigger2 = Name != "ZERO Rugal-ALLIES"
trigger3 = Const(data.life) != [1000,3000]
trigger4 = Const(data.attack) != [100,300]
trigger5 = Const(data.defence) != [100,300]
trigger6 = Const(data.power) != 10000
time = 99999999
anim = -1
darken = 1

Code: 
[State 0, Explod]
type = Explod
trigger1 = authorname != "ALLIES"
trigger2 = Name != "ZERO Rugal-ALLIES"
trigger3 = Const(data.life) != [1000,3000]
trigger4 = Const(data.attack) != [100,300]
trigger5 = Const(data.defence) != [100,300]
trigger6 = Const(data.power) != 10000
anim = 99999
id = 9999
pos = 0,100
postype = left
bindtime = -1
removetime = -1
sprpriority = 9999
ontop = 1
removeongethit = 0

So uhh...search for all that junk and null it out.  Maybe that will fix it.

A booby trap when editing characters? Yikes.

I can tell that judging by the codes provided above that any values that do not match the values listed causes a superpause and an explod to form.

Null the superpause and see what happens.

I have done what NotAGoodName suggested and it worked for power, life, attack and defense; for these superpause/explode codings cover all of them at the same time. Apart from that you can change anything else and it won't be a problem.
Thank you very much everyone.

In mugen universe in general, none of character are unmodifiable. It's all about how to cracked the protection itself by reading the code itself.

Some chinese author found another way by encode their character code inside into the code which included every of non-standard character inside but actually it's just decoded into the utf-16 so the only thingg you can do is just convert the whole text into utf-8
