If his profile is accurate, I don't think a 16 year old will be forking over any money unless he's rich.

Ooh... that would be nice... uh, I don't know if you could tell but, I'm 16.

So uhh... I don't exactly have a bank account to get stuff done with, if you know what I mean. Add that to the list of reasons why I haven't made a character yet. :/

I disagree with a few of your opinions but absolutely admire your passion its greatly misding nowadays. I think there is alot of truth in this thread its just got a lot of elitist language.

I think cb creators are more about the characters and adding elements than straight gameplay. Most of those guys played msh or mvc and were inspired to make their fav guy. Most of them are not coders by nature and certainly are not fgc buffs who study frame data amd char types. They are judt creative nerds so imo thats why both parties struggle to respect each other in one space. Dont get me wrong the mmv crew are very much snowflakes to the point its painful but The cb guys are alot more sensitive but they are also doing alot more spritework and putting love into something. Here its already established sprites that you are just coding (mostly i know there are alot of sprite artists here as well). In a perfect world the mmv guys sprite and the mfg guys code you have perfect fun chars for everybody but such is not the case


Also you went crazy hard on magus amd making money. Listen the best coders and spriters on this site chsrge money for their services if doing something they dont wanna do. Infinite will code the fuck outta any garbage on mmv and make it brilliant but it will cost cuz he isnt doing it for himself. There is a weird stigma tjat he is the cb anti christ because he wants to make money for his work. News flash bro EVERYBODY does. Go to the spriters bounty thread aint none of those guys drawing shit for the love of mugen community lol

And to keep on with your original request

Ah, apologies on that front -- regardless, there's plenty of comic book chars by him that are publicly available that you can mess around with. Might I recommend his recently released Carnage?

I was around your age when I started in MUGEN. About 20 years ago, in the DOS era. People were doomsaying and ranting back then, too; heck, I was one of them.

And... The community has grown and shrunk over the years, many times. People got offended and left (and usually returned, kinda), forum wars have happened. Some people were banned over serious stuff, but honestly hardly a significant portion. Tons of people just lost interest, as is natural with any hobby.

This, too, will pass. Don't worry, kid. You want good advice? Put that energy to learn how to code, how to sprite, how to create better stuff.

Because, you know what really remains? The good stuff; awesome creations. Good tutorials. Fun chars. Stages that make you go "whoa, that looks great".

Enjoy, take it easy. This is a game engine forum.

May I suggest a thumb drive?

My laptop went into a diabetic coma (motherboard failure from too much mugen stuff) and it's getting fixed right now, so to be truthful with all of you... I haven't had mugen since 2 weeks ago, AND I have to re-download 1,265 normal characters, about 100 broken characters, 60 stages or more between those two screenpacks, and a lot of other shit that just stretches this sentence out longer than it needs to be. No, I have not been okay since that happened.

Uh, motherboards don't fail just cause of too much Mugen stuff. If there's no issues with the hard drive itself you won't need to redownload all that stuff.

Isn't one of the reasons for motherboard failure using too much storage? I didn't do this shit on a desktop like you lucky lads.

A motherboard can fail for multiple reasons. Overuse is a possible reason as well.

Sorry, I got a sailor's mouth, if you know what I mean. No hard feelings, bud.

Word of advice, kid. Tone that down. Swearing doesn't make you cool or grown up. In fact, it does the complete opposite. You're going to swear at least have some precision to it rather than every chance you get.
