I would like to know how to code a visual effect for a power charge, like the aura when you start charging.

That effect seems like it's just two explods. One for the ground dust and one for the flames. The ground dust might be 1 animation used 2x with one being flipped horizontally. So maybe 3 explods.

Make 2 of these in the charging state. Fill out the trigger1 with Time = what time you want it to kick on
Anim needs to be the animation you want
and ID needs to be a number. Put that same number in numexplod(X) as the X value.

[State 0, Explod]
type = Explod
triggerall = numexplod(X) = 0
trigger1 =
anim =
ID =   
pos = 0,0
postype = p1   
bindtime = -1
removetime = -2
scale = 1,1
sprpriority = 9
ontop = 1
removeongethit = 1
;ignorehitpause = 1
;persistent =


If you need to learn more about explods look in the Mugen Master Class

Most people don't MAKE the pcx files. but yes, you need an image to display an image.
You can use images from other characters. If another character has the exact animation that you want in your character, you can use Fight Factory 3 to copy it over to your character pretty easily. You open your char and the other char. In the 2nd character, find the anim number and write it down. Then,  In your char go to the animations, scroll all the way to the right. Then at the top, go to Animations > Import from another project. Make sure the 2nd char is selected, write in the animation number, and click import sprites.

You might need to double check to make sure than Anim number hasn't been taken by your character already. Or you can rename the new animation after it's imported.

So in algebra X usually means some random number.
When using explod, Mugen/Ikemen doesn't like hundreds of sprites/explods on the screen at 1 time. The easiest way to stop that is to label the explod with a specific number. When you spawn the explod you can check to see if this is the 2nd time spawning the explod by using the triggerall.

triggerall = numexplod(4297) = 0
ID =  4297
 
triggerall = numexplod(1) = 0
ID =  1

These 2 ^^^ will make sure only 1 explod can spawn
 
triggerall = numexplod(1) = 0
ID =  4297

This 1 ^^^^ will only spawn if a different explod is off the screen.
Change the X
triggerall = numexplod(X) = 0
to the ID you put in the explod.

It worked! But it's too big and it's in front of the character, it doesn't loop either

Don't forget about Mugen Class. https://mugenguild.com/forum/topics/explode-sctrls-169499.0.html
Look up Scale, OnTop, and sprpriority.
The looping problem is probably
removetime
Or it could be the animation's last frame has a time of -1 so it just stops on that frame. Go to the animation and press play to easily see if it loops.

Some people also use modifyexplod to get more effects from animations. You might be interested in reading how that works too.
