What does Mugen actually stand for??

Portrait Prodigy EX+

Even Elecbyte said they forgot what it originally meant. Is it an acronym?? Or a euphemism?? Perhaps a shortened version of another word??

I like to think it's an acronym for Multi Use Gaming ENgine.

Thoughts??

I'd like to report two robots on the MFG forums: One is EXShadow. The other is Saikoro.

There should be a Saikoro plugin for Photoshop.

Wow, I recall I read about it, but forgot as well.
Damn is the fact that search engines usually bring results unrelated to "M.U.G.E.N" (even if we put in quotes). For example, the character Mugen from Samurai Champloo appear in the search results, lol

Mugen is Japanese for 'Infinity'
It might mean that there are infinite creations you could add to it.

M.U.G.E.N actually had a full meaning, not just refering to the word "Infinity" for what I remember.

I'm not sure if we did or not..... Apologies if I started the 50th one....

However, its a good conversation piece, so I figured why not??

Didn't the Mugen E.D artical make fun of this at one time?

The answer to most of your mugen problems is to know more math.

How can you get the "feel" of a character if you are only touching a keyboard or controller?!?!

Descriptions vary between clever and stupid, mostly stupid. Stick with No Limits.

In M.U.G.E.N there is no magic button

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

LOL I think I'll stick to "No Limits."

I actually found out about Mugen through Hardcore Gamer back when it was in publication (Is it still now??). I remember opening up the Mag, and would you know it, a subscription leaflet was wedged right in the page featuring an article about Mugen. They actually mentioned it stood for "no limits." Cool stuff.
