So the general premise of this is that I sit down and talk to people from at least 10 years ago with some set questions. Since I'm not quite 10 my interview is not available and wont be for a year because reasons. Also for a huge chunk of us we will see their first character ever! Anywho, episode 1 features a guy who just celebrated their 10th year, @Vans:

This thread is basically for discussing it one place and stuff. If you're someone of 10 years or older and would like to be a guest let me know. Especially if you were around during the MRev years!

Who's next?
-Renzo F
-Bia (august)
-Rolento/Mr.A
-Kung Fu Man
-XGargoyle
-Jango(September)
-Basara
-Mr Fong(October) MIA :(
-Jesuszilla
-Caddie
-Cyanide
-Cenobite 53
-Insanius
GT Yzan
-Evil Homer/TTTTTsd/Killer Kong

blame @Killer Kong: He was playing MMX4 on an arcade stick the whole time.

Basically around 10 people. The rest quit mugen and the forums eons ago lol.

well that didn't stop me from confirming Mr Fong for one of these.

I'm one of them, YAY !! LOL

Well, from the mrev days, there's probably [E], Byakko and XGargoyle.

[E] is confirmed too, I'd like byakko or XG too in the future.

A little more than six years ago possibly. I'm trying to find when I released my first MUGEN work (Messiah of Silence's Throne), and all I know is that it came out sometime before 2006. Goddamn.

Ah then yeah he's gotta wait till next year brah. Like the goal of this is to some what archive the experiences and overall insight of people who've been around since that time and before. Like I really want to know about the hurdles of dosmugen and such from people who knew that as the only mugen at the time lol. That and newer audiences potentially can hear first hand what it was like before we had access to the vast amount of resources that we do now.

so 10 years ago you weren't allowed to edit other peoples chars or borrow some code from them? lol you would think with such limited resources people would be eager to help each other out. strange times.
anyways, i would like hearing Cyanide or Jmorphman there too.

Well that era ended officially in december of 2007 after everyone followed suit in the following months. I was one of those people who were a bit miffed about the decision but as I said in that vid I understood it was for the better.

Also, @Rolento: has been around for very long. He's not super active here, but he's alive and well, and actively working on his Gaming Youtube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/villain187)

And @CCIronmugen: is also back, and has been around for as long as I can remember. And @Renzo F: has also been around since long long ago.

I wondered why you would be chatting with veterinaries.

It was a very, very stupid time with two sides fighting.

Valodim, Ilusionista JNP and Sepp sounds like a good pick for those chats I guess.They were some of the main targets of the Elite.

It would be fun to talk to JJWE as well, but I do believe he want to keep his Mugen past buried. :P
He would be one of the few that started before me that I still have contact with. :)

well as I said, if you can get a hold of these guys and tell them what I'm doing that would be greatly appreciated since they probably wouldn't respond to someone they've never met asking about mugen history lol

Awesome idea indeed ;) I would like to suggest me to the inteviews but my spoken english is worse than my written english :'( (unless someone offers as translator maybe, I don't know). Anyway, there're a good amount of creators here that can do a better job in the interviews, so good luck with this project, Kame :thumbsup:

my questions are never tailored toward the author, it's just the same questions for everyone because everyone would have vastly different answers because of it.

I'd be happy to act as an interpreter for any Spanish speakers that aren't comfortable speaking English, if necessary.

Well what I'd prefer is just subtitles as otherwise the video may exceed 30 minutes which is what I'd prefer to stay under. If you want to translate for me we can work something out and I'll send you the rough cut or something of that nature. However for best results I'd like to stay in english.

I'm up to the interview if you want to do it. I've been here for a long time, and before that I lurked our beloved Mugen Dev.
I created a few chars and stages, even programmed a videogame based on the mugen premise using the old SFF specification.

would next thursday work for you? If so I'll need your skype which you can pm me for. The questions will be in the same format as that vid I did with vans. All "ums" and pauses are edited out so you can take as long as you need to answer etc

I'll also need the first work you've ever made just in case its dos and I have to convert it. @Bea: can confirm my mastery of the arts in that area lol

Yeah, thursday night works for me. Also, If you have time on Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday I'll be available since it's the National Holidays in PerĂº.

I'll send you a Dropbox link with all my work... yeah, It was for DosMugen.

Post by: Kamekaze on July 23, 2015, 09:24:46 pm
relatively easily to be honest. Like vans I found a few people willing to help me improve my craft and stop sucking. If it weren't for Moldredd my AI wouldn't be as notoriously difficult yet fair as it is today. I wasn't worried about taking code because my reference point was talking to the people who made stuff in the direction I was going in. At that point they just explained how they did things and I went my own way.

I'm open to any interview, so feel free to drop me a line. I've been in this shit for more than 15 years, so I can probably provide a good insight of the early origins of Mugen, for example not many people knows that back then, characters' maximum life was 256 points in the earlier versions, and afterwards it was raised to the current 1000.

FYI, I'm based in Spain (GMT+2), so maybe it will be easier to catch me during weekends
Title: Re: a chat with vets, live interviews with MUGEN peoples
Post by: Bea on July 23, 2015, 09:30:23 pm
It was a bit harder back in 1999 up to 06.27 Mugen version in 2000.
Mostly because there was no documentation at all, nor a list of triggers and cns states that you could use, until JJWE compiled one. :P
KFM and Testp characters didn't use all of them either, so there was no reference point whatsoever.

Then with 06.27, Elecbyte introduced *gasp* expressions and *double gasp* documentation.

Edit:
XGargoyle up here is pretty much the only lad who has seniority over me around here. I started with 9x.10.19 version, and 1000 points was already the standard.
You started what... 2, 3 months before me?

I just wanted to get straight to coding without having to rip sprites. But NOOOoooo that was cause for pitch forks. This was before artmoney and it could take months to badly rip all the sprites needed for a character.


So me, Joram, and JJWE worked together to figure out artmoney. JJWE already had started using it for perfect axis. Once we got it I spent all my time trying to share sprites. And was still told I shouldn't do that because the threat of bad characters was too great.

If it wasn't for the Dark Ages of MUGEN I honestly think I would have finished a few characters. I got burned out ripping sprites and dealing with the verbal assaults of the elitists at the time and left for several years to make my comic. It wasn't as easy when you were a target of site hacks and had to watch so many people run away due to racist attacks "Brazil sucks!" and the most ridiculous power trips you'd ever see. Getting gangs of users attacking you wasn't fun.

Wow, that sure must have been hard. Well, I guess you need a form of Dark Ages before prosperity, eh?

I don't think I'd have survived that. I commend you guys for actually putting up with that crap in your time here. You've earned my respect MUGEN elders. :P

Artmoney brings me memories.
This one, specifically (http://www.justnopoint.com/Dev/index39.php.htm).
Shortly after that I've found artmoney and my life became far easier. Then I showed it to Sepp and things went downhill from there on. :P
Good times, good times. :D

Probably around September 99, but memory fades as I didn't really put a lot of attentionon it. I just basically downloaded it, played a bit and put it away for maybe a couple of months, because during that time I was more involved with the ROM translation scene

To continue spoiling Kamekaze, I remember the days when the hot topics were stuff like "DUDE DID YOU KNOW? THIS GUY RAZOOLA FINALLY GOT CPS2 EMULATION WORKING", When the MVS Debug Dip Switches were discovered and that kind of stuff.

A lot people was devoted to R&D technology to make creators' lifes easier. Some of the stuff you had to do in order to rip from Chankast was ridiculous...

I assumed you wanted people that actually finished coding something within their 10+ years!
I started at MFG in 2001 when I was collecting DarkStalkers art and ran into a MUGEN site. I've seen things. Terrible things lol

My 1st post was about making a DS game "like a noob" and everyone raining down on me "Don't use ANYTHING anyone else made buddy!"

I think that set my tone with the community right then and there :P

Just let me know when. I typically work Sat, Sun, and Mondays. I'm off 4 days a week but let me know in advanced because I may have plans with the family.

Everyone can make fun of my southern hick voice!

If you want to witness some Mugen history, here's a screenshot of NeoGouki teaching me how to find axis position and velocities in Mame's debug, years before ArtMoney was available:

Yeah, 3 AM discussions on IRC, gosh, I miss these times :)
oh mame's debugger, i've been messing around with it lately. did he teach you how extract assets from the hex code?

XD code theft. And sprite theft. And character theft.

I hid from it all. After testP exploded i tried a couple of forums and found myself embedded in the world of DBZ for another 3 years (i think was 3) been here since i extricated myself.

2000,01,01 was the first version of mugen i ever played. I wonder if i still have the edited version of ssonics knuckles...

I dunno if i'm up for this because time zones, but it does look like it's amusing.

This is a wonderful idea, I especially love the idea of bringing back old foagies to talk about Mugen. It's like fanservice for other 'vets'. Hearin Vans talk about this stuff cool, can't wait for future ones.

Ahhh the stuff he said about the old community and #mugen brought up a lot of old memories, it's all spot on too.

I didn't think of it like that, that's awesome. I can see it now hearing him talk about advice for beginners and a lot of the mistakes we made back in the earlier years in Mugen.

I am registerd on MfG since 11 years. But all chars I made are pure crap, so they are not very worth talking about.
My biggest contribution is the stage creation of mostly more unknown games (350+ , trying to reach the 500 mark some day).
I also made a very crappy Star Wars Fullgame long  ago, but at least it was shown in German TV show and was hosted on a German Phone/Internet Provider (T-Online) for a while. (only because it is Star Wars I guess :D)

But in conclusion I am not well known to the community since I am not writing that much and I have phase with nearly no mugen activity, so I don't think interrest will be big. In addition my spoke English sounds wired :P

I am not so much the Kof or Street Fighter guy in mugen, more for the obscure stuff. I maybe could tell how I felt about the whole change in community, and how my native mugen community was/is. What brought me into mugen and so on. How I get to all the obscure games . And maybe some anecdotes concerning the topics mentioned before, and mentioned in my first post and some funny experiances with my real life friends on mugen, that might be funny. But I am not the type of guy that could give some good tips concerning coding or something like this.

If people or you are interested, I would give a shot.

It was fun to do the interview, but sometimes thinking and talking in english on the fly can be tricky for me, so if you think I'm talking nonsense you have been warned :P
Also, you'll realize it when you hear me, but it could seem like old m.u.g.e.n. times in forums like Mugen Dev were a nightmare, but that's not the case. We just used to be a little harsh on people :)

So apparently I was informed that JZ would rather wait a bit to be interviewed for legitimate reasons. Instead I interviewed someone who is both famous and infamous at the same time. Kung Fu Man. I assure you, this one is one you should all check out in a couple days as there was a ton of things covered and discussed about both RandomSelect as a forum and the history of KFM and this place as well.

That being said I would like to take KFM's suggestion and ask if @O Ilusionista: would like to partake in this series?

Post by: Jango on August 30, 2015, 04:06:24 pm
Okay I watched the Kung_Fu_Man interview in its entirety. I jotted some of my thoughts down on it.


@Kamekaze: I have to say that I take issue with your interviewing style. The way this interview came out seems like it was a really bad attempt at getting Kung_Fu_Man back into the MUGEN spotlight, from you saying that Randomselect's forum is huge (it is pretty much deserted from what I can see), to quickly reminding everyone "Oh well, he grew out of that phase" after he talks about the time he tried to copyright Hashimoto. I mean, as an interviewer, I know you want to avoid pissing off your guest, but you shouldn't be trying to make them look like something they're not. It just feels dishonest. Now when I say "bad attempt," I don't mean you sound unconvincing (even if I know better personally), but Ashley really fucked things up for himself, especially with how passionate he got over the stuff.

One more note, it's really weird that you did an interview with a person who is often seen as the face of "Creator Ethics" and is considered to be responsible for fracturing the MUGEN community into multiple hubs that were constantly at each others throats over said ethics, and not once did this ever come up. The way it's presented, he was just some annoying guy who made stupid mistakes, rather than being someone who was TOXIC to this community.

Post by: Kamekaze on August 30, 2015, 04:45:01 pm
1. What if he literally didn't remember at the time?
2. I don't understand what you mean given that I'm in an IRC with him on a daily basis and he hasn't done anything I would consider "childish" but that's just me.
3. I wouldn't know either way. if TDS is interested in being interviewed we can get the whole story that way tbh
4. Open to the rule change? Yeah I know he isn't really. I didn't try to make it look like he was...hell I didn't even edit that segment.
5. I don't see that as as problem, given that I said he can talk as long as he wants mid video as long as its about mugen. As far as his comments about Iced go I edited it out as I said he can't name names or call people out in a spiteful way. Before you ask I had no idea he was talking about you tbh until someone told me and the vid was already live so I apologize for that. Fun fact, it was 43 minutes before I edited it down(ums/pauses/stutters)
6. I won't ask for complete explanation but if you want to bring it up in a neutral light in your interview feel free to when we address the community.
7. He also apologized for his "stupid" behavior as well so even if that's so he's aware I'm assuming.

@Jango Hakamichi: Well if it seemed that way and it was really bad to you, you can probably assume that it wasn't intentional in the slightest. When I said it was(never said IT as present tense mind you) a huge forum I meant that. It WAS. I also was referring to the fact that it was a huge hosting hub back in the day. How did I make them look like something they're not? He apologized for the whole thing and I said everyone does something stupid as a sign of solidarity. I know I have at the very least.

I did an interview with him because he met the criteria of being a creator and having over 10 years. I simply asked if he wanted to and we did. He told me about how RS became a thing and how he messed up MFG. I was not aware of what you're saying was missing so that's out of my hands. I believe that if a person is remorseful about their less than stellar past they deserve another shot personally but again that's me.

I wanted to do these interviews to learn about the past and give new people some insight, not make people look better so please do not assume that about me or this series.

JudgeSpear is still active on Youtube. At least I think. He responded to my comment several months ago about if he will return or not considering he had abandoned MUGEN for a long time. GooGoo64, I can understand not seeing him happen. I don't think he even has a contact  account . But he's not gone. His latest creation was the bad painting Jesus character dated back in January 9 of this year.

It will still be interesting. And the three of us should try to convince JJWE to come out of hiding within Cho Aniki to be interviewed as well.
It would be great fun!

Was Judgespear even around in 2005.
Judgespear's stake in MUGEN is pretty small relatively, outside of that one video he did where he played as Peter Griffin and fought Sakura that ended up on MTV somehow. Other than that, whenever he posted here to announced a rule-change or whatever for his Youtube MUGEN player policies, he was mostly greeted with "who are you?"

I mean I GUESS if you were involved in Youtube MUGENite drama, he was a big deal, but outside of that...

EDIT: http://mugenguild.com/forum/topics/i-am-turning-new-leaf--82026.0.html <-- this is his last thread here and it's pretty indicative of how he behaved here

Thanks for the sweet chat bro, had fun. You were a great interviewer. ;D I had fun and I hope I remembered everything right. For everyone who might listen to this, please enjoy the chat and I hope I'm entertaining to listen to.

Edit: When I was talking about Elecbyte not listening to me during the video, I never expected them to or anything like that. Just I gave them feedback back when they were asking, and if they had done any of that stuff I would have been able to continue development on some characters. It was more like a wish fulfillment thing on my part, I wish this stuff was in. I was really nervous about sounding pretentious in the video.  :-X

So it's been brought to my attention that this thread has been neglected which the following needs to be said:

-I didn't know anyone cared/noticed
-The reason there hasn't been anything made recently is because the people I've asked hasn't responded, look in this thread and you'll see me tag them constantly and I'm not begging anyone to do anything.
-I never tell anyone the questions I'm going to ask in advance, and it's always the same questions. I'm not here to grill anyone, it's supposed to be for today's audience to hear from those from the past. Also because if I did people may try to rehearse for brownie points.
-I interview who responds, nothing more nothing less. I'm too old to be biased about mugen rofl

That being said, still waiting to hear from those I'd like to talk to.

I have always enjoyed listening to all these interviews (and participating too). It brings me lots of memories from what seems now a jurassic era, but still it was an era of finding out stuff or discovering new methods to rip content. It was also paired with the development of emulators, so everytime there was a new ROM dump, you knew people would release all the "new" characters in the following months.

I don't care if you do the interview once per year or once per week, but I'd like you to keep doing them, as I think that somehow we should preserve this early mugen history for the new generations.

And, if there are no candidates for the interviews, you could also do another round with the people already participated, this time with different questions or in a different interview format

This. I always figure there was more questions you could ask those you already interviewed. Heck, you could even interview figureheads of MUGEN and IKEMEN, I just want this to keep on going because the way you interview people gives this air of professionalism that this hobby needed to see shine through.

I don't see a reason to interview people twice lol. And I like to ask the same questions because the conversation tends to lead to some other topics and I like how it can organically flow as it does. It's how some interviews are long as others.

So you are going to be asking him why he keeps finding cryptic ways to insult other creators? Because thats pretty much the one question everyone wants to see answered, why he is still doing this over eight years in. I look forward to learn what motivates him to keep insulting people.

Its literally all he ever gets brought up for, hes known for that and that only, insulting people continuously, for years.

Are you going to ignore everything he worked so hard to do like that? Sounds like a waste dude. its the thing that always gets brought up when hes talked about, wondering why the heck he keeps doing it.

Probably because it's funny, and everyone loses their shit over it. At least that's why I, as a remarkably handsome and charismatic man, would do it.

It's not relevant to Mugen, Gaming, inspiration, work, life etc at all.. but I'm curious if he still believes black furries don't exist. (Or as we call them over at MFFA "African Amerifurs", especially the ones from London, England because they deserve it). I doubt he remembers that since it was like 5 years ago or something, and was all one off shitposting. It was humorous stuff, not insulting back and forths, just a good time.

Not going to ask that is a normal thing to reply, but its pretty on topic. Its all he's known for and has done towards the people around here for solid years.
Acting as if it never happens is weird when he takes so much time to do it that it literally overshadows everything else.
If you are not asking about his literal actions so its not an actual interview? Its just about the things that make him look cool and now what he does? 

As I said above, I don't ask any questions like that. JZ kept it very respectful so I don't understand the lack there of for what I asked.
He has literally been everything BUT respectful on this site and on this community, so the questions reflect that. It shouldnt be surprising that the thing we want to know are about that.

I'm not a journalist of any kind nor is it my job to hold people accountable for anything unrelated my questions. If that is not enough for you feel free to talk to him yourself and record it.

Nice job Kame! I always enjoyed your interviews because of how you ask the same questions to everyone no matter who they are :) (Noticed that pattern long ago).

It's pretty fun to see how differently each person tackles those questions, it's actually a pretty genius move when I think about it! Hope the people who never replied in the past have some free time nowadays to be part of an interview.
