What character captivated you in your early days of mugen that made you want to say "Shit, this has potential, I'm getting on this train!"?

Top 3~5 favorite mugen characters of other creators?

What's the one of your creations you're the most proud of?

I was a DBZ idiot in the early days. Hyper Dimension captivated me and nobody had made a decent SSJ3 Gotenks. I think he's probably still one of the best out there actually.

I still love a couple of the REALLY old creations but i don't think i can truly list 5. When i played i liked
Kirby by DiGi Jared
Donkey Kong by Infiinma
Knuckles by Ssonic
I do have respect for anyone who cares about what they create and really takes their time over it to make sure it's good. Anyone templating out character after character without giving them any actual character not so much. And it's pretty obvious when people haven't done so.

This should be obvious. Omega Red. Without a doubt. He was the single most challenging thing i have ever made in mugen and part of me dropping off a bit is because i can't actually think of another challenge to match. Helping Bane84 out with Mario 1-1 was interesting too. I was in fact meant to go back and fix up the blocks so they didn't make you jitter as you walk. I did not do this but the how is still in my head.

For that Shuma sprite, actually Graphicus did the outlines and veins, i just shaded. It's mostly capcom although it could possibly do with a bit of work. My standards for sprites are rather high and if something doesn't meet them i won't do it. This is why i haven't expanded SBME yet, not enough decent stuff.

What is the best Offspring album and why is it Smash?

[Jmorphman]

 - what got you into archery?
- people always are saying things like "oh, a boxing glove arrow simply isn't possible, due to drag and such, but that's all a load of bunk, right? right.
- why is Vice so cool?

[Warden-San]

Would you rather read all of bleach or a doujinshi where KOF movie Vice pisses into Red XIII's mouth?

[Sinnesloschen]

I am not into piss.

How's life been for you as of late?

General interest in fantasy novels. Nothing really specific.
A boxing glove arrow would be totally impossible. Too heavy. there are certain solid point arrows designed for concussing the target but you get that with a wider and muffled point. Nothing nearly as big as a boxing glove, you'd be lucky if it went 10 meters.
She's slightly nuts, has short hair and big tits. IIRC her bio has her liking comics as well.

Put cat down, bad. Got new cat, he's still twitchy.

Could you enlighten me why men are so obsessed with large mammaries?
I have tried hard to understand that, but never managed to come up with a logical explanation for it.

[Cyanide]

The war on boobs continues.

I don't know. I have no fascination with big boobs, or small boobs, or perfectly sized boobs. Boobs are boobs. Some men love giant ones, others don't.

I'm meant to pass this on soon right? @[user id=3532]Neocide[/user]: can have it

thought of going a few times, my cousin goes all the time, he's huge into cosplay.

Vampire Jubilation Lee or 'normal' Jubilation Lee?

Definitely normal, I hate the whole vampire thing they did with her. It was a way to revitalize her  and was extremely stupid, they don't know what to do with her really.

[Iced]

rehabilitate the x-men , what would you do with them


you open your cupboards and jeph loeb falls from them, he offers you the chance of doing a mcu based tv show, but you have to use Sam as a secondary character who helps the hero ( whoever you choose) to win, who do you pick.


Punisher as a hbo show, yes or no?


Who has the best butt in comics?


how sexist is power girl and why should she be banned ?


How do you feel about the new wally west?

Does sexism in media makes people that experience that media sexist?

What about violence?

- They represent the struggles of those who are different (race sex or otherwise) which was what gave me  a connection. They also have some of the best female characters in marvel imo. The 70's and 80's (and early 2000's thanks to morrison) were probably the best time to be an X-fan, and I enjoyed going back and reading those claremont runs that were wonderful. Plus There are just so many characters to like or hate.

- When I was a kid and introduced to the X-men (via the awesome cartoon) I really liked his powers, and I liked the leader types back then. And he had so many cool pouches! Later when I actually got into comics and went and read back on some, I noticed he was a very complex character when written right. Claremont did wonders with him (when he actually used him) All his repressed emotions,putting the world on his shoulders, (The scene he had after thunderbird died was pretty touching).  Thats not even counting his rich childhood history, he has probably one of the worse childhoods ever;thrown out of plane, parents thought dead, bullied in foster homes where no one adopted him, was hinted that he was made a child prostitute by jack o Diamonds when he was running around with him as well).

Top off that with his CRAZY romantic situations. Girlfriend died(Jean) Wife went all evil (Maddie)Cheats on wife psychically,  Wife dies again (jean). Cosmic entity stalks him (Phoenix) Karma hits and new Girlfriend cheats on him psychically(Emma) and then there's that weird sexual tension with wolverine (I don't think it was intentional, but the level of passion logan puts into his "RRRRRRGHHHHATE" for cyke, feels like he's mad about something other than the Xavier thing.)

And yet, the guy is still as cool as a cucumber, so much so, he unintentionally trolls the other X-men team without trying. some people think he's just a cold asshole, he's just the master of repression.

He reminded me of myself (my love life isn't as cluttered though) so I could really relate to him. It was nice to see a broken character and see how deep the character could be when written correctly. What cemented him to me as really awesome though, was his gradual change over 10 years (Since Messiah complex) and then AvX put him over the top to me, it was clear they wanted him to play the villain, but the story was so bad, they ended up giving him a whole new fanbase.

- Hmm Toss up between Tim drake(pre new 52) Wonder woman, Rogue, and Andrea

-atm, the 3rd arc.

- Joseph of course

- pffft, they have nothing on the plague!

-First and foremost, I would kill the schism, I think it's stupid and needs to die. Second, I would stop trying to vilify cyclops, in fact I would take the shift off of him entirely. I'd build storm back up to relevance, Bring back free spirited rogue. Retcon out Morrison's Scott and Jean marriage problems(I loved morrisons run, but he shitted on their marriage to prop up Emma.)  I would split them up into 3 books, a school book that would focus on the teaching staff and students, Emma, Kitty,Beast,Jean,Doug, and Xavier would be the senior staff.  A street level book with more newer mutants and a few vets; Surge,Nightcrawler,Wolverine,Karma,Pixie,Anole,Cannonball, sunspot with surge and Cannonball co leading.
And a "A-Team" like gillien's run, Cyclops,Storm,Rogue,Magik,Polaris,Iceman,Rachel,Colossus they would handle big threats, and cosmic stuff.
and because I love the summers\grey family so much, I'd do a family book with Scott,Jean,Rachel,Alex, Corsair,Nate and Hope.


- I put him back in the cupboards and grab my cookies, I wanted to eat food, not shit.

- yes, but it has to based on Garth Ennis run.

- umm, if I'm going by [E] it'd be spiderman. Otherwise  Probably rogue, although I keep flashing back to her ass in the X-men cartoon....

- a smidgen I guess? And Because I love Bea,the war on boobs must be won!

- Iunno, it's cool DC is adding color to these characters, but there are other minorities other than black. Also I find it weird they did this to connect with the cw show that doesn't really follow the comic besides just taking characters from it.

- I think it depends, if it's all you've seen and known then you'd know no other way to view the situation. Otherwise no.

- this depends too, I think if this sort of thing is etched into a persons mind young, it can alter how you view things. To be honest all this sort of thing for younger audiences falls on the parents to teach them morals and whatnot. For older people no, saying it does is just an excuse for whatever the idiot did.

- shiiiit that's hard, lets try to go season to season (minus the first season, bleh that was boring)
Season 2 - Becoming part 1 and 2 - loved any ep that flashbacked to angel spike dru and darla. Was always fun to watch them and fun to learn his history
Season 3 - Dopplegangland - Omg LOOOOVED this ep, Vamp xander and willow was great not to mention how it shitted on cordy for willow and Xander getting together in another timeline.
Season 4 - this should be obvious; Hush
Season 5 - another obvious, The Body; rewatched this ep last year, and it hit me harder thanks to losing my mom, just loved how well it was done, and how it shows no matter how strong you are, losing a loving parent can destroy any of us.
Season 6 - Tabula rasa - LOOOOVED this ep too, Spike and Giles were gold "I'm a superhero too!"
Season 7 - can't think of one for this, I did like the introduction of principle Wood it was cool to see a offspring of a slayer.

- Another hard one, I'll do the same thing
Season 1 - Hero  picked this one because I thought doyle left the series too soon (although glenn quinn died a few years later sadly)  and it was a nice send off for him
Season 2 - This is hard, because I loved this season. but Through the looking glass - it's the first appearance of fred!
Season 3 - Waiting in the wings - I loved Gunn and Fred together, and felt bad for wesley, but I loved seeing them finally hook up, they were so adorable!
Season 4 - Can't think of a ep that stands out really besides "the house always wins" everything else was alright
Season 5 - this is really really hard, as I loved season 5, lets see "A hole in the world" made me so sad and was good, and "Smile Time" was awesome I mean puppet angel? who doesn't love that!?

- Shit, Buffy started slow, Angel picked up a bit quicker, Buffy lost steam during season 6 and I thought angel was hitting it's full stride by it's end, This is so hard, I'd have to say buffy though, only because it started it, and I loved the cast (Xander,Spike and Anya were my faves)

- hmmmm I'd say Captain america: the winter soilder. or Avengers
- Can I just say everything  other than less known stuff and wonder woman? I'm bias, so I'll say hooking up wonder woman and superman, I don't get it, I don't like it and it just leaves a horrible taste in my mouth. They don't fit at all.


Justice League - Wonder Woman, Power Girl, Batman,Superman, Green Lantern (Stewart),flash,Blue Beetle, Booster Gold,Zantanna,Firestorm
Avengers - Captain America, Iron Man, Ms Marvel,Misty Knight,Vison,Scarlet witch, Luke Cage, Namor
Teen Titans - RobinIII(Tim Drake) Donna troy,Starfire,Raven,Beast boy, kid flash or whatever he's going by now (Wally west) Cyborg, Batgirl (Cassandra)
