For years, I have been a fan of KOF, FF, Capcom, Marvel, Guilty gear, Anime and there is a game that can bring them ALL together… Furthermore, its free. The biggest gripe is the time needed to set the game up. Being a freeware, one might think, hey, there’s too many characters, what will the balance be like. To be honest, the game is most appreciated when its one player.
Character AI can be altered so the game is balanced. Trust me, the AI can be so manipulative. Most of the characters are already balanced by nature(besides the bosses). Still, most bosses could be beaten by gimmicks. One day, the P-Meister was playing his favourite char, Ken, and he came upon a download of God Rugal(CVS2 boss) with a much improved AI. The only fighting games i played on the PC were KOF 2002 onwards. The rest I used the PS2. Eager to try out an altered ken who could combo like in KOF vs this uber Rugal, I downloaded the game and configured the characters and keys. And the result is:
Enjoy… Notice the background from FF7
Many thanks to Lord of Flies for creating such an amazing AI. I never had such a brawl for so long. Of all the bosses, Rugal is my favourite and this one has become the number 1 on my list. I know I should have done a special finish at the end but oh well.
Oh, did I mention anime!? YES!! THEY HAVE GUNDAM AND HARUHI!! Go youtube if you want more vids. The whole thing might be a little bit to set up but once you get the hang of it, its quite fun. GLHF everybody. Now that I have relieved loads of stress bashing Rugal, its back to work. Maybe when I’m free, i might create a P-Meister and add to the game. HOHOHO! Alas, a final video, to decide whether Pokemon will beat Digimon.
All this happened because I started listening to an mp3 called I am Ultimecia by Reuben Kee, who was a member of MUGEN. He RIPed in a dragon boating incident. My sincere condolences.
The download can be found at http://www.mugen-infantry.net and the powered AI rugal can be found at http://www.mugen-infantry.net/forum/index.php?topic=87184.0
Fight against Onslaught. One version of him just simply cannot be beaten. And one version of Sephiroth has an instant kill move, lol.
MUGEN has been around ten years at least, far as I recall. Not surprised to find that they would keep adding to it, considering its easy customization for those who know how.
Stifler – I will add him to my list of bosses. i think one of the strongest boss is Igniz. One think about SNK bosses is that they aren’t GAY… or gay enough to kill you in 1 hit.
sephiroth looks gay and he’s holding a sword.
Panther – i found customization troubling. Characters have to be added 1 by 1 and often finding a reputed character with good AI can be quite difficult. Of course people may settle for the retard punch and kick kungfuman AI. There are 3 God rugals apparently and this one is the only one that actually poses a challenge.
Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educated and entertaining, and let me let you know, you’ve hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the problem is something that not enough individuals are talking intelligently about. I’m very comfortable that I stumbled throughout this in my search for info relating to this.
