I know you all have scathing opinions about MUGEN, but it doesn't change the fact that A) it exists and B) it's damned fun if you know how to use it right.
That being said, what are some of your favorite MUGEN characters you keep in your MUGEN, or if you have a limited amount of characters available on your Select Screen what is your favorite roster?
For me, it'd have to be . . .
Lakitu
Len
Aile
Vent
Childre Inarabitta
World 1-1, Super Mario Bros.
World 1-1, Super Maro Land
Stupid Little Drill Tank
Alice's Dolls
and Asagi
For my little 10-characters-only MUGEN.
- Lakitu and Childre are fairly fun little characters, a little heavy on the projectile spam but still fair -- Lakitu mainly because it is so easily knocked around and his only strong attack has to be aimed, and Childre because his AI doesn't whore out his homing missiles excessively (as I tend to do when I use him to beat Asagi's Boss Palette, should it appear).
- Len's a fairly good fighter in MUGEN, able to tangle with even the craziest Guilty Gear characters (e.g. Faust, Testament, Robo-Ky) but still easy to use.
- Aile and Vent are good diversions, and play fairly easily -- the ones I have are old versions with only Models X, ZX, and OX. I've checked recently and most of the models are over 50% complete, so the patch for them might be able to do weapons.
- The World 1-1's and Stupid Little Drill Tank are by no means actual characters -- they're bonus stages, but I have them selectable so I can enjoy them in VS mode (they run on autopilot). They're fun little diversions, especially when I swap in another character for Asagi to run them through the World 1-1's (and the Stupid Little Drill Tank is fun no matter what character I use).
- Alice's Dolls is/are a fun character -- the dolls are randomly selected at the start of the match, each one mimics the character's danmaku (there's even a Heida no Akyu doll, which mimics a random doll's danmaku), and the best part . . . it's not even broken.
- Last but not least . . . the filler Last Boss, Asagi. Why is she filler AND the Last Boss? Because I can't stand her Boss Palette. Asagi is at her core a projectile spammer (to put it simply: her NORMAL attacks are gunshots -- her melee attack is a SPECIAL), and she has a few very ANNOYING supers (such as the two where she calls in a Zetta Beam or a simple 'Lord Zetta makes you go boom'). Supers that invariably come out during her Boss Palette, which has a FULL SUPER BAR THE ENTIRE MATCH. It gets annoying . . . but she's still a fun character (she DOES need to reload her guns every now and again). However, I can safely swap her out for any other given character (be it Hisui, Kohaku [another favorite], or [if I'm feeling masochistic] Omega Zero or Copy-X).
Feel free to post links to characters (the creators' websites, that is, unless they're no longer available) here, but also try to talk about your favorite MUGEN setups and matchups.
That said, have a blast!
