MUGEN Developer Pet Peeves: Confess your embarassment here

Have you been programming for MUGEN for a couple of years?
Have you ever noticed how there's ONE OR TWO bugs that keep popping up regularly for you, no matter how many years of experience you have?
Is that bug embarrassing to you?

If you answered YES to all of these questions, it's time to confess. Let the CONFESSIONS BEGIN.

I'll start:

CONFESSION #1: "No matter how careful I am, in every single character I make I'll always have a super that builds up power in the first version"

Please stick to the numbering scheme so this is in the form of a list!

CONFESSION #2: "Even though I spend hours testing shit, my custom states always seem to break inexplicably."

CONFESSION #3: If I'm not getting data from a source video game, I really suck at deciding a reasonable getpower, so on the first release, my characters build power VERY slowly and might not even get a chance to fire off more than one super per round.

CONFESSION #5: "Even though I'll test the crap out of move that leaves the ground(like a DP) there will be a time where said char will get hit and get stuck standing in the air because of an .air change I forgot about at least once."

Confession #6: Even though I've studied a game in depth, I always have to redo the comboing about three times, and even then it's still garbage.

I don't provide old versions of my characters once they're updated. Please don't ask me for them.

CONFESSION #4:  My characters always need an update after they're released to fix... something. Sometimes there's a character-breaking bug while other times it's just something that I missed that anyone could have.

Hmm... IDK. I mean, almost everyone does this honestly. Whether it's game breaking or just something you may have overlooked. I've never seen a release where the author didn't update something over time. I wouldn't worry about this too much, we're only human. :P


Confession #8: A lot of times when doing things with velocity, I often times put the wrong value. Like a positive value when it should be negative, and vise-versa, often times resulting in a char flying out in the opposite direction. I always catch it before a release, though no matter how many times I try to stay aware of this, I've done it EVERY time. It's resulted in some very funny moments though during development of projects lol.

Confession #11: No matter how many times i use it, first time round persistent will always be written persisten, and i will wonder why it's not behaving itself.

They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it's not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.

#17: "After finding a workaround to something, something else crops up that breaks the workaround. The end result is the equivalent of a broken television held together with sticky tape."

#18 when running the character in ai vs ai the ai is always able to do something that no player should be able to do (and also, never tries to do).

Confession #20 While I program a character I always take written notes about gliches, details and ideas in sticky notes and full pages with tape in my desk, monitor and walls around me, so, when I finish the character, my room looks like the John F. Nash study room. And even with all of that, bugs still poping up. :P

Confession #21 I suck at aligning original animations, I have to try at least twenty times before getting to something decent... and then realise it is still wrong. D:
