So I finally went and did it...
17 years ago
Yep, decided it was time to start one of these LJ-type deals, and figured this was the place to do it.
Those who don't know me, check out the link on my profile; that'll give you a decent idea who I am. Those who do, hey there; hope y'all enjoy this little insight into my daily life.
So, over the last few nights, I've added a huge number of chars to my MUGEN roster - for those who don't know, MUGEN is a 2D fighting-game engine (think Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Samurai Spirits, etc. - most of my chars are from those and related serials) that's designed on a modular basis, allowing the user to just create and/or plug in chars and stages to create their own game, even to the extent of changing the game's overall look. Check it out if you're interested; I can even provide some of my favourite haunts for it.
After several hours of testing, very few of them proved totally unworthy (while the version of Mike Haggar I found really is, I'm adding him in anyway, as it just feels wrong to have Gai and Cody without him), and a few of them even managed to replace older versions. It may amuse you to know that the main reason I got so many new chars is because the collector in me came out: I decided that I wanted to have every char from each of my favourite serials (not counting Soul and Tekken, which I don't think have even been touched for semi-obvious reasons), including duplicates from crossover serials - IE, two versions of the SF chars that showed up in the Marvel vs. CapCom series. Not the Marvel ones, though, as I count X-Men: Children of the Atom and Marvel Superheroes as part of the MvC series.
If anyone's interested, I'll post my full roster with recent additions and see how many minds I can blow. :D
