Does MUGEN support hidden characters and other secrets?
=======================================================

No, it doesn't.

Wishing All MugenGuild Members, Mods, and Admins A Very Joyful and Merry Christmas And A Happy New Year!

To sum it up, the basic premise is that the hidden characters can't have a selectable character in cardinal directions in relation to itself.

P  P  X  P  P
P  P  X  P  P
X  X  H  X  X
P  P  X  P  P
P  P  X  P  P

P = playable, X = blank, H = hidden.

so.........is there a downloadable version of this? or a blank .def file that you can fix up with the instructions in this thread?

Valodim, about your reply:

P  P  P  P  P
P  P  X  P  P
P  X  H  X  P
P  P  X  P  P
P  P  P  P  P

When moveoveremptyboxes=1, the player can do the same as in Messatsu's example. However, if it is set to 0, the player can still access the secret/hidden character by moving to the 3rd row 1st column, then right. So, it won't work if movesoveremptyboxes is set to 1.

(Btw, what does "pwned" means?)

Unlocking secret/hidden characters:
=========================

When posting this, I've discovered an alternative way of unlocking the secret characters. This is an easier way of unlocking it.

Step 1:
=====

Under select.def,

Set movesoveremptyboxes to 1.

Final Step :
========

Save the select.def file.



Now, to unlock the secret/hidden character, for 1P just do the following:

Start any game. (Arcade, Team Arcade, Team Vs, Team Co-operation)

1P

Press:

Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Left

or

Down, Down, Down, Down  Down, Down, Left, Down.


For 2P, just do the following:

Start any game. (Arcade, Team Arcade, Team Vs, Team Co-operation)

2P

Press:

Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Right

or

Down, Down, Down, Down  Down, Down, Right, Down.



Caution!
=======

But, be very careful:

Never ever ever press button on any of the empty slot, or...
Game Over...

Or you better hope that the CPU won't choose the empty boxes throughout the game... Good Luck...

To be safe, use this unlocking method only if you plan to play in VS mode.

Or, if you feel you wanted to try your luck on unlocking the secret characters by using the Random select box (?), just simply set moveoveremptyboxes to 0 instead, plus it's safer!
