Ryuuken went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal.
He was in a bind 'cos he was way behind: he was willin' to make a deal.
When he came across this Saiyan sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it   more...hot.
And Ryuuken jumped upon a hickory stump and said: "Boy let me tell you what:
"I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too.
"And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.
"Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give Infantry their due:
"I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul, 'cos they think I'm better than you."
The boy said: "My name's Vegeta and it might be a sin,
"But I'll take your bet, your gonna regret, 'cos I'm the best that's ever been."

Vegeta you rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard.
'Cos hells broke loose in Georgia and Ryuuken deals the cards.
And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold.
But if you lose, Ryuuken gets your soul.

Ryuuken opened up his case and he said: "I'll start this show."
And fire flew from his fingertips as he resined up his bow.
And he pulled the bow across his strings and it made an evil hiss.
Then a band of newbies joined in and it sounded something like this.

When Ryuuken finished, Vegeta said: "Well you're pretty good ol' son.
"But if you'll sit down in that chair, right there, and let me show you how its done."

Fire on the moun, run boys, run.
Ryuuken's in the house of the risin' sun.
Chicken in the bread pin, pickin' out dough
"Granny, does your dog bite?"
"No, child, no."

Ryuuken bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat.
He laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Vegeta's feet.
Vegeta said: "Ryuuken just come on back if you ever want to try again.
"I told you once, you son of a bitch, I'm the best that's ever been."

.....yeah, I was VERY, VERY, bored when I came up with that.  less

Shinobi_X returns!

It's initiation time for him. Even though he was created by T.D.X this is T.D.X's best character because he's not broken unlike Perfect Storm X or Luckyse7en.

Haohmaru by "NRF"   more...is definitely the cheapest Haohmaru in MUGEN.

This guy is sooooooo INSANLY overpowered that it's not even funny. All of his attacks do a CRAP LOAD of damage and block damage. Every once and awhile, he'll turn red or yellow. When this happens he does even MORE damage and if he turns yellow prepare to die by the most hideously overpowered attacks you'll ever see in MUGEN. Some of his attacks can reduce 70% of your health... IN BLOCK DAMAGE and if he's in "yellow" mode ALL of his supers are OHKO's EVEN IF YOU BLOCK and they are OHKOs even if you use a character with MUCH higher stats than normal.

During this entire match I had to play keep away because of his INSANLY HIGH priority. It's almost impossible to use ANY close range attacks because he'll always grab you and EVERY SINGLE ATTACK GIVES HIM INVINCILITY FRAMES.

If he is hit by a super, he can be disarmed but when this happens he gets even WORSE. When swordless he can grab you a poke you in the ass like Kan cho man. If he K.Os you when he does this, SH*T comes out of your ass...

This guy also has cheap AI.

Xltima finally joins the team!

A VERY special thx goes to HollowIchigo7927 for being a friend and if it wasn't for him, I would have never knew Xltima would have existed.

This is his youtube account: http://www.youtube.com/user/HollowIchigo7927
  more...
I like to use Xltima because of his long reach. If I'm fighting a character with infinite priority I found it best to use Xltima.

Unfortuantly, one of the problems I have with Xltima is that he has too many juggle points and he seems to have infinites.

I am fighting Don Drago's Clone Evil Ryu on level 8 AI. This is the 2/01/08 version. As I said before what I don't like about Don Drago's characters is their priority and their AI's rely on invinciblity frames way too much. It was hard to land a hit on him because he kept on blocking. In this version though, it seems that if he blocks for too long he is stunned.

BUT there is one thing I hate more than his priority. It's that he is Clone Evil Ryu, "Clone" Evil Ryu, "CLONE" EVIL RYU. I fear people are going to make more "Shin omega orochi level 2 CLONE evil Ryu's"  less

This video marks two events in Team Draug:

- The initiation of the team's Cheap Buster, Lobo.

- The prologue to Oume's quest in order to train herself and get her rematch against Jon Talbain (check Seadragon's   more...Cup videos for more information).

So yes, Lobo the Last Czarnian has become the team's Cheap Buster. Let's talk about him and his first victim, Thin Nen, by Ihoo.

* Lobo by Buyog20099 is by far the best DC character you can find around. He isn't a cheesehead like Ice or Wonder Woman but he isn't lame either. Lobo's AI is quite tough, I must say.
Graphic wise, Lobo is an edit of Birdie, with some elements of Zangief and I also think of Cable. The edit is great and except for some facial expressions, it's 100% the Main Man.
Gameplay wise, Lobo is quite balanced for being a DC character with MvC gameplay. Maybe his only unbalanced move is the Big Fraggin' Gun (BFG) for both the number of projectiles it launches and the damage dealt by each one. But for the rest, his Frag Grenades can damage Lobo himself and his beer move won't always be good for Lobo.

* Thin Nen is one of the most infamous creations by Ihoo. This version combines both Thin Nen from Power Instinct and Power Instinct 2. Trying to make him accurate to both games, Ihoo ended getting a cheap bastard.
His priority is very high and his attacks deal more damage than even in the original games, where Thin Nen was already a high tier. But worst thing is that nearly none of his attacks can be blocked in mid-air and also he'll juggle you to death once he's cornered you.

The secret for beating him? Frag Grenades, kicks and the BFG. A pity I couldn't use the Main Man Airlines. I would have enjoyed running Thin Nen over with the SpazFrag. :P

Oume's initiation into Team Draug? Maybe the title says so, but this is no normal initiaton video...

Oume challenges all current five members of Team Draug to fight her in order to join their group...   more...as their president?! Anyway, this video has some sprite non-animated cutscenes. I'll be making this only in special vids like this one.

==First battle==

* I'm playing as Oume Goketsuji/Goketuji - both forms of her last name seem to be accepted, by the way, and so are Gouketsuji and Gouketuji... odd, really odd.
This old lady is one of the weirdest characters you can find in a fighting game. She comes from Power Instinct and this is her Matrimelee version. Overall she combines both her and Otane's moves from that game. Her attack, defense and specials are normal, but maybe her supers are a bit overpowered, specially the giant hand and ghost ones - although they deal more or less the same damage, they're unblockable and the ghost one has nearly no chance to be avoided if you aren't close to Oume to hit her before she releases it. Be careful if you play against her in CPU, since her AI tends to be too aggressive, although you can use this for your good, since she rarely blocks.

* First opponent is Mudman. He's pretty much AI-less, jumping around and occassionally using Mud Attack and Mud Launcher. Sometimes he will be quite defensive.

* Second one is Arina. I don't know if she really has an AI or not, but when computer controlled, she's very aggressive and quite a combo-whore. Strangely, even if she says in this video that Oume is too strong, she's the only one who presented a real fight.

* Dan is the third in the series. He's by far the hardest Dan in Mugen, since he's quite PotS-ish. But Dan isn't as far as hard as many people say. If you know Dan, you can predict his moves quite easily.

* Finally, Rasputin. Another quite AI-less character, or maybe his AI isn't that good. He plays with the fact that his attacks are strong, but he isn't a challenge at all.

==Second battle==

* Leona, as I said in the Mudman initiation video, has a competitive AI, even if she isn't a big challenge. Anyway, in both her normal and Orochi-controlled versions, she is a good opponent.

Next videos will show more of Oume's battles, since I want her to be in MKR's tournament along with Dan, both representing Team Draug. Rasputin and the rest of initiations will come later. But I already have a baldy as Lobo's first victim... :P

Time for a new initation... This time, we have no one but Rasputin... Not the mad monk of real History, but the crazy wizard from World Heroes - oh, well, they're nearly the same thing. xD

The version   more...of Rasputin I use was made by Mouser and you can find him at Random Select. This Rasputin stays quite true to his source game, World Heroes Perfect in this case, but has some little additions, like he is a bit faster and his Secret Garden can be used thanks to the energy levels, not waiting for him to have low life. Anyway, he still has his HERO bar and those Japanese sentences below the life bar, like in the Japanese version of WH Perfect.

And for his initiation, I thought of a wizard character... and after checking... who's the best wizard in Mugen? Kamek, the Magikoopa, of course.

I think Kamek needs no introduction, right? :P

Ths video was recorded using CamStudio. There's no banner like it happens with the trial version of HyperCam, the image quality is better and desync is no more, but the framrate is a bit lower. Maybe I could stick with this, I don't know...

Next vid will be Oume's initation... or well... I don't know if I can call it an initiation... You'll have to wait to see it and know what I mean with this.

Time for another initiation video! And this time is for Dan Hibiki, in his Phantom of the Server version.

As a challenge for Dan, I went for something a bit original: pit him against versions of himself   more...made by other people. So that's why all the fighters here are... DAN HIBIKI!

- Dan by P.o.t.S. is the version I'm using in all the videos. In my opinion, this is the best version of Dan for MUGEN, a very complete one. Nearly everything from every game Dan has been is in P.o.t.S.'s version, along with some new things. That makes this Dan unique.

- Dan by R. is the least interesting of all the versions in this video. He isn't as tough as the rest of them, but this Dan is quite decent. A pity his voice is too low.

- Dan by Warusaki. Another CvS fighter and a pretty good one. Although I prefer Warusaki's Ryu and Ken, this Dan is a good character for fighting with and against him. In this video, he's using the N groove, but I'm sure he's more of a challenge in the EX one.

- Dan by Tatsu. Now this is an interesting Dan in the way that he's heavily based on the SvC Chaos Dan. But he also has some details that make him a bit more different - he even has an SNK-ized version of his run animation in CvS -. Quite tough sometimes and a pretty good choice as a character too... still, I still prefer P.o.t.S.'s Dan.

This was coming sooner or later. Now, you must think I'm crazy putting Mai_K on my team. I putting her on my team for the same reason why people put Evil Ken on their team. I will play as her but I don't   more...want people to fight her in team battles unless your really brave. Her initiation is simple: BEAT DA HELL OUT OF "TEAM FAVIC"

"Team Favic" is:

Dragonclaw

Himan

Neosonic

Mzero

-I do not plan on using Nachel's Mai.

NOTE: there is some lag. I reduced Mai_K's attack to 35.

BTW because of problems, I cannot change my youtube channel info.  less

I think you all know which one got initiated. :P I'm not sure what I should do with Another Iori yet. He's been a potential retiree for a while but that cloak gets me. I love the cloak. XD Also, he's   more...my fourth ever team member. So many memories of horribly failed survival runs with him, and Benimaru as a team. No matter how I set it up we'd fail spectacularily. But it was fun seeing our bad luck. For some reason my roster doesn't like Iori, and Benimaru working together. @_@ I may use this Stage, and music again soon. It's perfect for a Benimaru, and Iori Survival run. The song makes it perfect. "We got together the wrong way". Man I love that song. Not as much as some of the other songs.

Bleh, too much babbling. >_> Back to the match, a requirement I set up for my team is that they have to be able to beat Alex. But when I decided that I had already had five members. So I decided to see if they were up to that standard. This is the reason Alex is in red. Not an official member of the team so hardly any black. If I make the doomkitties a branch I'd stick them in blue. Official members mainly wear black. Unfortunetly Iori's palette screws that up. So he's kinda half, and half with some white tossed in. >_> Oh well. At least his shirt, eyes, and jacket aren't all tied into each other like with Benimaru.

I'm also changing Iori's name to Iori or Iori Yagami, the 71113 bugs me.

Mario & Luigi fight against Bowser for a chance to join Team Smashbros2000

Yah Evil Ryu has been getting spammed and spammed by the f1 button that i decided to cut him some slack.

Note:If u want to fight my team, U don't have to fight evil ryu :P.

I finally made a intro!! It's   more...awesome.  less

8 mm Film from 1969 Encounter in the Bush,

I decided to put White Len into my team because without her I would have NEVER been able to kill many of the cheapies in my cheapie vids. I also picked White Len because it started to get boring using   more...only sword characters :P. So I might as well pick one of the strongest melty blood characters to be on my sub-team.

For her initiation, she fights 4 of [fraya]'s strongest creations. ALL of [fraya]'s characters are VERY overpowered with high life and attack. In fact, one of [fraya]'s characters can prabably kill all of P.O.T.S's characters without much trouble. I fought [fraya]'s characters from tough to toughest.

Slayer- This guy has high defence and almost killed me when I had FULL health when he had less than 15% of his health left!

Ino-Boss- VERY high stats

Order_Sol_Boss- Stronger than the "regular" order_sol....

Darkside Ryu(evil ryu)- This mybe [fraya]'s strongest creation. He is stolen from P.O.T.S's ryu but this evil ryu is 2X stronger...

This is [fraya]'s site- http://fraya.fc2web.com/

Inorder to download, go to the "doh" link, then click DOWNLOAD, then turn off you firewall. You also my need to have japanese encoding in your internet browser or else you'll get an "error 404" message. Then select the 300MB "doh" package. Then take the doh package's common1.cns file in the data folder and put it in [fraya]'s character's folder. You NEED to do this inorder for the characters to be imported to regular mugen.

NOTE: Because of mugen's handicap, I reduced White Len's attack to 90.  less

Now it's time to see if Arina is really a good choice for Team Draug.

Instead of making her fight four foes - one per round -, Arina will have to face two fighters... at the same time! Those fighters will   more...be Fervicante's Mudman - now a member of Team Draug - and Warner's Homer Simpson.

It must be said: this match is way harder than Mudman's test, and that's because Arina, as a player's choice, isn't as strong as Mudman. Fortunately, if you know how to use her, she becomes an extraordinary fighter.

The background is the alley from Kizuna Encounter, and the music you hear during the fight is "Power Field", Kraft's theme in Rockman Zero 4. Once again, the music from the beginning is "Neo Arcadian March" and the one in the end is "Result of Mission III", both of them from Remastered Tracks Rockman Zero: Telos.  less

Yumiko by Juke Kisaragi is from the same game as Masako's; Variable Geo Max. She's quite fun to play as. She's plays like Masako, fast and an heavy hitter.

Fighting against POTS' Sakura with her are pretty   more...tough. I just have strike whenever she gets close to me. Otherwise, I stay back and use my projetiles while I wait.

you can get her and Masako at...

Too early for creating my own team? Maybe... or maybe not.

So yes, I thought it was time I could create my own team. I thought of the idea of having Leona in the team for the first time and making her   more..."recruiting" other characters.

And this is the first candidate for joining Leona in Team Draug: Mudman, the crazy spiritual warrior. He must fight Leona with her Orochi power released, zanny Krusty the Clown, the fast catgirl Felicia and the overpowered monk Thin Nen. If he survives, Leona will welcome him to Team Draug.

Matches:

- Leona by NAO&M ( Looks like NAO&M's site is gone O_o ): She has a competitive AI, but not a big thing to worry about. This version allows you to play both normal and "controlled Orochi" Leona and in all of them mixes voice samples and attacks from KOF 96 to KOF 2003. For the video, I'm using the Orochi one.

- Krusty by Warner ( http://www.freewebs.com/warner12/personajeschars.htm ): Don't expect something like Homer's Brutal AI. The only concern about Krusty is not to let his attack connect or you'll know real pain. Aside from that, he's quite easy to defeat once you get him in the right place and moment.

- Felicia by Mgbenz ( http://moogen.i-xxcell.com/char.html ): She's quite tough. I mean, when she blocks you, Felicia tends to push you away. And her hyper sand attack is quite painful, even if you block it. And don't underestimate her combos.

- Thin Nen by iho1836 ( http://myhome.naver.com/ihoo1836/ ): Like many of iho1836's creations, Thin Nen is one Hell of a fighter. He's TOUGH and not very well balanced, so he's a good challenge as a "final boss" for this test.

The background is Vegick's City, from the Freedom Fighters game done by MUGENHunter. And the music if "Go Straight!", a remix of Streets of Rage 2's first stage theme. The music from the beginning is "Neo Arcadian March" and the one in the end is "Result of Mission III", both of them from Remastered Tracks Rockman Zero: Telos.  less

(Originally uploaded to YouTube on March 2, 2007. Team JudgeSpear has been renamed "Team Raiden Fighters")

After observing his forays into dispatching numerous opponents in Survival runs, Team   more...JudgeSpear sent Cell an invitation to join the team. This time, Team JS wanted to really test Cell, so they set up a very unique initiation for him.

Since Cell has done well dispatching vast numbers of opponents one-by-one, Team JudgeSpear will test how well Cell will perform when he faces a massive crowd of opponents at once. Team JudgeSpear Vice President Predator sampled DNA from the famed Shoto fighter, Ken Masters, and the deadly Xenomorph Alien, and engineered numerous clones of the two. Cell is to dispatch all of the Ken and Alien clones for his initiation.

If Cell succeeds, an office position awaits him in Team JudgeSpear!

NOTES: I had to delay the Rox Howard Clones' appearance each round. They are so cheap that they attack before the round begins.
