So this is in regards of updates and other things, first things first let me do a lil post for those who might be new here :-) 

-> I did post this on youtube but I decided to bring it here as well:

Hello, 

✫ I noticed there's some noobies or new subscribers here that are now getting into my content and want to know their way around and I am here and happy to help.

So, I am going to provide a lil FAQ for my new viewers and we will be going all the way back to the basics:

1. "Where can I find xyz mugen or do you have xyz mugen?"

A: You can find your desired mugen or check if your desired mugen or character pack or whatever is done on this channel either on my website here: https://sites.google.com/view/mikazuk... then to go to your desired category and to ctrl + f then type in your desired term.

OR, simply go to the search bar on my channel and type in your desired terms.

2. "Where can I get real time updates on your content?"

A: You can get real time updates on my content by either joining my discord server (which is linked everywhere ATP lol or regularly checking my community posts from time to time and now you can check here as well.

3. "I don't want to be a bother and I respect your time and effort you do towards the community, how do I check status of when mugen requests are open?"

A: In all my recent video descriptions I state the status of mugen requests, and as we speak they are still definitely closed.

and in my discord server I recently made a channel called: #✔️⬦mugen-request-status  where I update people on a speific date and more on if mugen requests are open are not. so check that out.

4. "I don't want to be considered a problem, so I have a question about mugen battles?"

A: Mugen battle requests are not my type of content. if you want a channel dedicated to that, you're free to watch the following people:

@wailordlover https://www.youtube.com/@Wailordlover

@dandantheman17 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFMvg8RVGrSdG08mavHR25w

@wal2bros

and, hell there's people like saltybet that live stream mugen fights such as mugen forever and mugenkumite. so check them out if you can.

5. "Is there a reason why you don't do mugen battle requests? even though I am entirely aware there are mugen battles regardless in regards of the mugen collections you do."

A: This post explains it all: https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkx6g0TYFrSYbl7VcEfJzMI-oUgBGzpCxuL

6. "I love all that you do and want to contribute. how do I do that?

A: I appreciate that, you can contribute very simply by either donate or help further preserve my mugens for everyone to enjoy for many years to come. you can donate here: https://sites.google.com/view/mikazukithemugenitecreations/home OR, you can preserve my mugens via the internet archive or, by simply downloading them and re-uploading them onto your website, social or youtube channel.

That Is all, if you guys have ANY questions or concerns please let me know :D

1. Dark Dreamform Sula was recently released! check her out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCUoZmzdQsM&t=171s

2. Currently still working on Cheapies Vs. JUS Project

3. SVC Ultimate Mugen 2009 Edited v2 1.1 Roster PT.3 FINALE (16k Chars out of 16k) is now out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q85O6nRis60&t=41s

4. Coming up next bump for Cheapies vs JUS Project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SN7SQ40EAo

5. Most likely will take a break after the Cheapies vs JUS project because I definitely will not be ready for the bombarding of mugen requests and will most likely will have to change the rules and regulations and even add some requirements (yes requirements) to prevent any annoying and malicious requesters that will attempt to ruin the experience / process for everyone else. 😭

Hello,

△ So finally I am back yes. sooo, you're probably what's going to happen now. that I am back? mugen requests? screenpack polls? nah...

→ I've decided to take an entire new direction, on this that will blow your minds. but I will clarify some things, before I announce something that will replace both of the things I mentioned.

Now, Mugen requests and screenpack polls...

→ So, I really and I mean REALLY was thinking hard on this but as soon as I thought hard on this. I would still get comments on requests (especially dumbass battle ones) despite repeating myself multiple times and I've simply had instances where some of my comments fell on deaf ears. 

→ So, this shows that if I were to add new rules and regulations onto my mugen requests they would fall on deaf ears. so, I will be delaying and possibly, pushing back mugen requests. as for screenpack polls, the same thing as well. for, we will be moving things in a different wave length for I am a mugen all rounder :D now..

⬙ That I said what I said...let's get into the huge announcement!

I introduce to you a new project, I came up with to finally add onto the list of things I like to do within mugen creation...

෴The Manhattan Dark Reality Break & Holy Sanctified EXE project!෴

✑ This project will consist of cheapies that will be from brutal AI with some nulls all the way up to a frost tier. so based on my experience on cheapies, expect brutal ai, null tier, void tier, supernull and anti-cheap / anti-postman (I'LL TRY) and ultranull + frost tier. 

Other than that, that's how it is. I think I've contributed A LOT of mugen collections to the mugen community and I will continue to do so BUT I like to expand my range for I've done so with screenpacks, now I will be doing it with characters and stages. for I am the mugen tribal chief. :-)

Besides, I can finally look into getting all my old and new current mugen collections and putting them into a 4TB external drive for you all to plug and play (which is been overdue but I'll get into it.) so halting the mugen collections for a lil bit so I can compile them and you can all enjoy them. 

That being said...

I look forward to your thoughts and excitment towards this project for who knows we finally getting some more newer cheapies within the mugen scene and I think it's pretty neat. I can see this being a hit :D expect a preview (for this will also come with screenpacks with both sides.) MORE INFORMATION on the project is on my website here: Mugen Project

Other than that info doesn't end there yet...

I'll be uploading TWO compilations of fights mugen battles, one will probably last not sure 30 mins and one will last around 5 HOURS! because I am fed up with these battle requests. as if cheapies vs JUS battles being 2 hours wasn't enough I'll be the first. then from that point forwarding, I will be censoring words in regarding of asking for mugen battle requests. 

Enjoy and be grateful on what the tribal chief puts on the table and maybe READ on what this channel is about I beg ATP. THANK YEW. Have a nice day if you have any questions or concerns you can ask them idc ATP. 

Hi,

SO I never thought I had to make this reminder before but looks like I have to. so, recently I've been getting like 2-3 DMs and some messages on ak1 that my characters aren't working....but I check and y'all using WINMUGEN.

I can't believe I am saying this but all my current projects even characters are 1.X! what this means? this means, it works for 1.0/1.1b! why? because they are the latest versions of M.U.G.E.N! especially, since if it hasn't been obvious, they are the most USED versions of mugen as well, why else people are making their newer cheapies for 1.X for example Minase, and people are converting TONS of winmugen characters to 1.X

I will say that the ONLY character edit of mine you can use for ALL versions of mugen would be Dark Akuma X but even so, if you have a hard time running him in winmugen or seems weaker in winmugen in your eyes it's because he is specifically for 1.X all my coding is.

I should've known that as soon as I saw someone say: "this is your so called immortal dragonclaw" and they showcased a video in which they used him in WINMUGEN (yes winmugen) despite me saying on my website, in this discord and in the description of the character's video that he is for 1.X that's when I knew everyone lost the plot. smh

BUT you can't say I am not nice and don't listen to feedback and that I don't try to improve the experience of people using my characters despite me being a complete amateur to coding and not being THAT confident in my coding I ATTEMPTED to make him usable in winmugen against the likes of cheapie like chuck norris and girlypops it simply just wasn't working y'all because I coded his ass to 1.X so I also made an update in which you can ONLY run him in 1.X 

Because he is fit more in 1.X because that's what he's meant for, he is meant to survive some 1.X cheapies that's the honest truth about Dark DragonClaw. BUT, I GET IT THOUGH. I understand completely that you guys were expecting for my characters to work and be amazing for all versions of MUGEN. There is one that does and that is akuma x so you're free to use him on any version. some of you also, want me to work on WINMUGEN ONLY cheapies, NO PROBLEM. it's just that right now it's one thing at a time. I WILL make WinMugen cheapies just not at this moment. the project is characters strictly for 1.X so once we're done with that we'll see it.

Other than that, I ask for patience, understanding and I am open to feedback. I am also looking for beta testers and anyone who doesn't mind collaborating with me on this as well or give me some code/pointers.

So, I am posting this now so people won't freak out and come to my discord or comments saying the link is down. I turned off sharing for the Mugen Matrix chars link because, I need to download it no problem so I can be able to put it into parts.

This will be temporary. I'll put it back on once, I am able to successfully get the entire file. I know it's crazy but I the creator can't even like download my own creation lmao. (and I ain't lame I followed my own instructions when it comes to the quota limited exceeded issue)

And, it would download but then the connection would get closed. so please in the mean time look to download my other creations while, I try to make this one in parts. spread this around. I will enable the link to be available again once I am done putting it in parts. (y'all need to go seek another big ahh mugen or play something smaller imo.)

Also, because I am a nice tribal chief I can edit the mugen matrix screenpack to have less slots for the homies who want to fill it themselves in an achievable way as well c: but yeah spread this around so people won't pester me about how the link is private or whatever.

Note: please stop requesting for download it. unless, if you want I can make a poll for you all to determine weather you can keep struggling to download it OR, I can try to keep downloading it myself to put it into parts so an amazing memeber in our community can put it into a torrent and have it up as a torrent for 3+ years :D

Here's the news / updates for today:
1. I have officially added backup links via terabox for mugen matrix museum. now you guys can't say I don't do anything for y'all despite y'all being persistent and a lil annoying about this mugen enjoy.

2.  If for some reason, you're not able to do the for whatever reason download the mugen matrix museum via terabox

 or just google drive in general try this method.

1. Download the google drive app for desktop (or mac)

2. Follow the installtion process (for an idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26PKo...)

3. Then, once google drive has made it's own you know drive on your PC

4. Go to shared files, and make a short cut.

5. Then drag said file onto your PC

6. You're done. 

Remember, to sum this up you can access shared files and folders from Google Drive for desktop by creating a shortcut in your "My Drive" or by accessing shared content directly in the "Shared with me" section of the Google Drive web interface. Once a shortcut is created and added to "My Drive," the shared content will appear alongside your personal files in the Drive for desktop application. 

Additional Notes: The "Add shortcut to Drive" function creates a link to the actual file, not a copy. this means you're always viewing the latest version of the file. adding a shortcut does not move the file from the collaborator's drive.

3. I've decided after diving deep in working on the following cheapie tiers:

supernull/hypernull/ultranull 

void tier and more..

I will be giving up on that. I realize that it's simply too difficult for someone like me and will be resorting to making strictly nulls + brutal characters (I mean you guys seem to like those better anyways ngl). 

I've changed the following characters to simply null / brutal territory even some being similar to DCCR (Dark Crazy-Catastrophe R)

1. Dark Gloria EX (formerly Hypernull)

2. Dark Ultra Instinct Goku (formerly Void tier)

3. Light Purple Dream (formerly Void tier)

4. Light Flandre Scarlet (formerly Ultranull-tier)

5. Holy Rudra (formerly Secretary-tier)

As for Pain HR not sure what to do with him since, it's easy to do the cmds where how a frost tier acts and with akabane im close with him in regards of postman tier but at the same time not so those guys will be like in the back burner for sure.

Hopefully, you all still enjoy the characters in their changes for I'll try my best to make them at least similar to their tiers if that's even possible. thanks for the support towards my project peeps.

HELLO! SOOOOO...

I've been receiving amazing feedbacks via the survey form from you all and I love reading all your feedback. I have been listening and paying attention to said feedback. this post is to not only acknowledge that but...

To answer a few things said on the very end of the survery and other inquries as well. so, that being said, I hear you guys and I listen so here is my responses:

Q: Will you ever make a Donald or Colonel edit?

A: No. Why? well, there's 293192312093 donald edits and I think some colonel edits being made everyday, I honestly see no point since some of them tend to be copy and paste, unique and overall, and they have their own community so I THINK that there is just no need to make one considering, they will never run dry and sure it is SUPER easy to make a donald/colonel edit I just see no point. it's been done time and time again and I like to bring something new to the table.

Q: Will you edit more 2hru (Touhou Project) characters? or Eternal Fighter?

A: Probably? but that too has been overused. sure in my project, I have KOF and 2hu edits but and I am working on one eternal fighter edit but after that I will focus on doing something not many people thought to do in the community and that is edit original and very underrated characters from underrated franchises. 

because, I think OCs that are really uniquely, cleverly and, amazingly made deserves more recognition same with underrated characters from franchises that fit under the Doujin/Visual novel/moe characters and much more.

Q: What type of author do you consider yourself to be?

A: Mugen Cheapie Author. yep, all my works consist of making either brutal AI cheapie tournament worthy characters or, cheapies that surpass being just brutal AI and full on indestructable forces beyond measure :D

Q: I don't see your works on the mugen cheapie wiki

A: This one is really interesting because I ain't really think of it like that lmao. I think it's because you have to be nomi/minase & SL Zero levels of good to have yourself and your works presented on there, also I think that place is still being ran by CyberAkumaTv and I'm not sure if this dude dislikes me or not so yeah that could be a reason it's not on there as well.

Q: When will you resume working on Mugen Rosters?

A: Not for a while, because I plan to work on ANOTHER project and a part 2 to my first project but it will only be around one character relating to the lore so yes, once first project is entirely done I'll be working on another one + a part 2 then we'll see but other than that, I have to still look into compiling all my mugens into one drive OR, all into one file. for I've stated before, I feel like I've made ENOUGH rosters tbh that are still pretty good for people to download regardless of when it was made I know you can never get bored of how large some of these rosters are.

after all, I am now in the mugen author department now so, that is something I have been enjoying very much for it actually does feel like a challenge, mugen collection building came easy to me but this is actually challenging and interesting for someone like me so yeah.

Q: What else will you be doing when you're in the admist of being done with working on characters?

A: Well, I plan to work on stages as well, in fact I haven't even touched stages yet because I like to do things one thing at a time, so once I get all my characters done then I can focus on stages a bit then see what else I can do from there.

Q: You've done so much yet not on the official mugen wiki?

A: Another wiki question by the same person. honestly, not even sure I think the wiki is a sign up contributor thing meaning that like you probably have to ask or go on there and add some information yourself so who knows? maybe im wel known but people just don't have time to add me on there? maybe I might add myself idk? never really thought that deeply about it.

Q: Will you do more EVE screenpack edits?

A: Yes and no. I will probably do one more but then that's about it? I am not too locked in on the screenpack editing department like I use to I think I've made TONS of screenpack modifications that should be enough for you all to enjoy who knows I MIGHT make more but at the moment probably not, especially since I can see EVE edits get old too.

That is all, I also recently released some characters you can check them out here

I am releasing this update because a situation has happened with this character that I am aware from the person who originally worked on (César omar), and that the coding for the character is flawed so when I try to fix and update the character because yknow I actually listen to feedback I ended up encountering MANY errors, even though this character is based off of Wicked Diamond. 

So I stripped her of my coding and tried to run her in 1.1 but she is bugged by herself aka she doesn't attack just move around and jump and if you're lucky she does a special, all of this happened and it is not with my coding because I removed my coding and she barely moves. when I do run her in 1.0 she has no problem but sometimes she still does. and as someone who listens to feedback, I do try my best to fix and recently tried to fix this for like 2 hours but wasn't getting anywhere and I was working on this after the person also mentioned on working with and surrounding himself with the likes of Torneo Mugen and Hyzen even though these people are the most hated within the community for selling characters.

So after further thinking about it that's when I decided I will just simply mark eachna as a beta and use a different base rather than wicked diamond so expect an update on her soon and that people are free to fix her. because, I am not going to waste anymore time fixing a character that not only is made by people who surrounds themselves with people who do clearly illegal activities such as selling mugen characters and complain about leaking characters when it is 2025 no one should or be caring about that anymore. but, they also side with them and allow them to trash my works and constantly misgender me. (i am a female btw)

I rather be called a poorly coded mugen author that at least TRIES and admits in a few occasions that their coding isn't perfect than to be associated or, be infamous for selling mugen characters which is an illegal activity that should be investigated for elecbyte does not condone or confirm the re-using of public assets to be sold. you're free to google it or check this info out this video here on why no one should even be selling mugen characters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDLwO2_wv30

So please if you are apart of the KOF mugen community, stop associating with this guy. his coding isn't any good either, since when I paid $300 for execution the dude's attacks barely registered to the point firemasscre which btw shout-out to this man, had to make a patch for it. 

Note: avoid césar omar as well since, he associates himself with these people. anyone associated with torneo and hyzen should just leave my channel for I don't associate or condone these actities and I don't wanna hear about think piecies of how the content is not licensed he is still using SPRITES of pre-existing characters he is trying to bypass the system. it is so obvious.

So I would like to release an update in regards of this situation here.

So, it has come to my attention by Hyzen who has clarified a lot of things that Cesar Omar has been spewing nothing but lies on his name and the name of others mentioned except for torneo mugen. please if you guys have or haven't already do not block or bother Hyzen, LZN and HELL about this situation.

More like it is best you block, and report and overall, avoid Cesar omar and Torneo mugen. they started this whole situation where innocent people have gotten hurt and caused a lot of issues.

So please, do not bother hyzen he does NOT sell characters nor was he associated with torneo. I was also told because of this situation me and him have been blacklisted from the kof side of things only due to ONE person's actions. ridiculous. here's the imgur album of the dms that started this mess: https://imgur.com/a/Sjj94nU

Here is proof of the clarification by hyzen: https://imgur.com/a/Kf3htpL

Hello, now that I've made a comeback and a slight rebrand ig after this long break to think, and of course get a couple of things done as you see here... *Since I am now in a good headspace and is officially done with another project and will be releasing 2 videos today, here's what to expect now, clarifications and overall, thoughts on everything and why they occurred. let's begin.. *

1. I am officially a semi-retired (look it up if you don't know what I mean) mugen cheapie author.

I know retiring so early from doing mugen chars is CRAZY work but idc I realized clearly people around you can make it too much for you and have these unnecessary expectations from you when doing them so no I'm done with that I'll still HELP and provide as much knowledge and even continue to provide tutorials so no one will ever have to go through with what I went through becoming an author, so in wrestling terms consider me retired but working backstage with up and coming stars. I'll even help with collaborations, providing code, templates, etc.. so anyone here interested in coding help or whatever assistance in regards of characters, stages, etc.. please come to me ⁠✅✁・support is open basically 24/7 before going to AI now that basically, if we're being honest a lot more information is now readily available in terms of cheapies now in fact that should be like only used for reading code and decoding NOTHING else if anyone were to ask. but I think with all these resources you probably won't need to use it at all. Because, what thing I learned is that clearly, Oldgamer was right about something and that is I definitely should've sticked with screenpacks and other stuff because people judge you hard when you're leaning into the aspect of doing mugen characters.

2. Now that I am semi-retired mugen author, I will now be focusing on doing the following for now on for content aka basically here's what to expect from me from now on:

• Character Packs (requests for that will actually be open)

• Tutorials (yes more tutorials)

• More Screenpack Releases

• Mugen Collections (not often because I've done so many)

and, even continue the following series on my channel up to IG 5 episodes lol which is: Arbitrary Mugens Series: This series is about, of course arbitrary mugen (which ep 1 is here and was here a long ass time ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgfuByD9Psc&t=4s). this series is dedicated to old, unique and interesting mugens that are either remakes of a falied mugen project, a scrapped mugen project or even, a mugen that was a requested to be done A LOT back in the day but the people who showcased those never bothered to release them. (you know who you are) the reason why I came to be making this because I feel like wanting to expand a bit more on the type of mugen rosters I wanted to release and dive in releases that never just happened. * And... Continuing..* Another ig previous new series on my channel called "MUGEN SCRENPACK - XYZ AESTHETIC EDITION" this series is me putting my screenpack skills to the test and making aesthetically pleasing (and obviously playable) mugen 1.X screenpacks (probably some WinMugen ones too) and showcasing it to you guys. So yeah there's that. I even plan to at least do patches, so you know those assists on my website? I plan to turn them into plug and play patches instead. but we'll see.. 

• • Addressing removed content

• As you have may or may not noticed, I deleted a lot of characters on my website. and actually had some of you pretty upset that they were gone because you were looking forward to them and are worried they are now lost media the thing is..they were never lost media and because those characters were "concepts" you're probably wondering what does that mean? it means, I thought of the idea, posted it on the website, then grab a base character based on that idea and let it sit on my PC until I am fully ready and motivated to work on said idea, that's it lol. so no lost media under my name was created, I also deleted because like I said I am now semi-retired and the last projects that are being worked on as we speak are the The Manhattan: Dark Reality Break: Global Operations Expansion Project & M.U.G.E.N: ONI Miko's - Trial of the Sacred Code then after that, that's it no more character creations. as you can tell I went OFF with my lastest creations enjoy for it will be the last time perhaps. That is all to expect from me in general. now another thing that this time it's more of a clarification / reminder...

  • It does not hurt to talk to me if you have any and I mean ANY issues, I don't KILL people I don't turn people away and I don't do horrible things to people.

• I say this because the reason for this break and really all that got me so tired, so fed up and almost made me quit with mugen is the LACK and I mean absolute lack of communication that it's not even funny. bad things happen, innocent people get hurt, things start to get unbearable, etc.. a community for a 2D fighting game engine should NOT be like this whatsoever. if there is someone that says it is OK to talk to them, or discuss or reach out to them, do not HESISTATE to do it this also goes for my friends here as well, yes I am talking to you guys. if you have a issue with what I do, you already know I am not evil, I am not a puta nor am I a bully we are friends after all you KNOW that. you CAN talk to me I AM a PERSON I am breathing, I have a heartbeat, I can FEEL, etc..,

• It's sad I have to says this but it has to be said because I've had friends storm out of my server just to go to another server and talk mad shit about me, or talk mad shit about me behind my back on something that I did that was considered horrible in theirs eyes but NEVER bothered to talk to me or discuss to me about it and it's very disheartening because we are all adults here we should be communicating not move like this I also shouldn't have to go after you to talk about wtf happened if there is a problem TALK TO ME ABOUT IT, I WILL NOT KILL YOU OR BEAT YO ASS IF YOU TALK TO ME LOL. I say over and over and over again, I accept feedback, I accept critique, etc.. and you can't say I don't listen or keep my word. so PLEASE IM BEGGING JUST TALK TO ME IF THERE IS A PROBLEM I WONT MURDER YOU OR YOUR FAMILY LOL Because believe it or not when you do things like that, you start to become the very thing you are against and that well is the very toxicity in the community. and this may ruffle some feathers but this is the truth or matter of fact in LIFE, but this is why people leave mugen because no one knows how to act right. people are either switching to ikemen (you can hate ikemen all you want but it's been proven that community is more welcoming than MUGEN itself and that says a lot) along with, either retiring, leaving mugen all together, etc..if we want mugen to thrive, and be at least a LIL better, we gotta act better and continue to encourage people who need help not judge them or, paint them as assholes or, compare them to horrible mugen users. Now, I am done... I've said what I said, here's more clarifications..

  • I don't use AI anymore or really AT all nor was I even using it THAT MUCH even still I don't use it anymore because now I am more experienced.

  • I'm a real person, with thoughts, feelings, a life, a job, a family, etc..

  • I am done with mugen characters, you are all free to recreate those deleted characters / concepts off the website because those are confirmed to not be lost media, just a concept and was going to work on said concept/edit but decided not to.

  • I am going to focus on other mugen content and move on

• along with..

  • I simply just ask for people that I know and trust to treat me better (and if for some reason that's a bad request, you're free to unfriend me)

• that is all.. From the beginning I never wanted problems, just loved making mugen content especially in peace. I still feel that way to this day, all I ask for people who care about me to be more transparent and for people who have a problem with me to leave me alone and move on with their lives. Thank you

  • Mikazuki The Mugenite

• ONE MORE THING.. in the next announcement I will address what I've been receiving via DM and via feedback form and comments. I really do appreciate the love and support in this tough time and will let you know your words have not gone un-noticed

Hi, OK so remember when I mentioned I'll be addressing a couple of things I've been receiving. well here it is... NOTE: this isn't anything bad but it is definitely a lot of interesting things that I wanted to bring up so yep let's get to it. So, I received a lot of lovely things and informative things that I wanted to bring up and acknowledge because why not. so first things, first for the first time I want to address that for the first time ever I've been receiving like 5 DMs about how I should join IKEMEN community and how people over there are very welcoming and to sum it up it would be a huge deal if I joined IKEMEN because not many rosters, characters, stages, screenpacks, etc.. are being made for IKEMEN nowadays. and at first, I considered it but dropped it immediately but then this message from a user that prefers to stay anonymous that got me it says the following:

 "Hello Mikazuki, I came across your recent announcement regarding the challenges you’ve been facing within the M.U.G.E.N community. It’s genuinely disheartening to see your talent, patience, and generosity go underappreciated. your passion for the craft, your willingness to support others, and the sheer volume of work you contribute speak to a level of commitment that is VERY rare in that is space. Several friends and I strongly encourage you not to step away from creating content. Instead, we believe you would find far greater alignment and recognition within the IKEMEN ecosystem. your technical depth and creative range would significantly elevate the platform whether through IKEMEN only cheapie edits, screenpack development, stage design, or other specialized contributions. The IKEMEN community is collaborative, forward-focused, and actively welcomes creators who want to innovate. Many respected authors who experienced similar friction in the mugen environment have found renewed motivation and success in IKEMEN. They’re thriving here without the negativity, gatekeeping, or judgment that too often discourages promising creators on the mugen side. Your work, collections, and vision wouldn’t just be welcomed they would be valued. And given how niche IKEMEN still is, your presence could materially shape its momentum and visibility. This community engages constructively, supports learning, and recognizes effort. Where others have dismissed you unfairly, we see the dedication and potential you bring. I sincerely hope you consider this path. Your contributions matter, even if certain spaces have failed to acknowledge that truth. We see it clearly. 

Warm regards, Anonymous"

 And NGL, I was like no way this was real like lol but then again it actually was and we spoke about it a bit but then i realized that's just the tip of the iceberg, I've had people just say to make IKEMEN only content, switch to IKEMEN sometimes, etc.. and quite frankly, I would be lying if I said this announcement is just to "address things" but it's to confirm something too and that is...

•  By 2026, I've officially decided with how people in IKEMEN sometimes carry themselves I might CONSIDER switching over. and can you blame me honestly? with what I went through and such? so who knows really might join, it actually makes sense why authors there switch over because mugen community is lacking in a lot of areas of communication, respect, etc.. I do appreciate and still respect the rare ones that do take accountability and even, give some glimmer of hope in the community so....

• Remember, this is a consideration. if even after, my previous announcement of me wanting peace If I continue to somehow have people give me problems I will most likely switch to IKEMEN pretty soon because I don't have the tolerance of negativity never had and never will. I actually care about my mental well-being also when I do switch it won't mean I don't allow people who like MUGEN to not stay or consume said content, I'm just saying don't be surprised when you DO see IKEMEN content.

• Now, to address the other things. which most likely already probably got clarified in my previous announcement but I'll talk about it anyways. I won't mention names for I am going to respect everyone's privacy.

  1. "Don't quit, instead just do tutorials." already planning to do that

  2. "You'll get haters if you quit." already had some before I quit, won't make a difference if I did gang

  3. "DON'T LEAVE, ur important, just go back to collections n stuff" - I'll go back to collections but not as often clarified in the previous announcement

  4. "as soon as those ppl did tht to u u shouldve immediately dropped mugen and join ikemen" might consider it and wasn't considering it at the time

  5. "u can always do patches, tools n stuff." already considered doing patches for the assists on my page we'll see.

• I think that is all there is more but they are basically the same, but in different formats and different people. I thank you all for showing me love and respect and consideration for my works and my mental well-being. It's been a while since I've actually felt TONS of love in this community for a while especially with the sarifices I have done. thank you all for giving me SOME hope in humanity.

@everyone
Hi, so this is an unrelated but important post. Unfortunately, there was another victim of the mega.nz strike, he's a good friend of mine and admin of my server named @jaashoouhh. he goes by the name of @Dai-Manji on ak1. he hosted some character packs on ak1 via mega.nz which unfortunately, are now taken down.

The following packs no longer are available and by the looks of you you'll probably have no choice but to obtain it manually on the site or, through some of my collections which are:
Ninnikus Characters (UPDATE can be found in noxxy's archive http://uninstall.discord.ovh:31337/files/Games/MUGEN/Creators-Ninnniku/)

Cyberbots Collection: https://www.andersonkenya1.net/files/file/6901-kongs-cyberbots-collection-complete-latest-versions/ 

CKOFM Re-Hosted Storage: https://mega.nz/folder/tvJ2TA4a#NoeyZOmnWcpBAc6h3o5flg 

Daraku Tenshi / The Fallen Angels https://www.andersonkenya1.net/files/file/41927-daraku-tenshi-the-fallen-angels-characters/ 

Guardian Heroes Characters Ultra Vortek Characters 

etc... 

If any of you, have backups of these collections and more shown in his ak1 profile, please upload it on this very site https://www.andersonkenya1.net/profile/14638-dai-manji/content/page/3/?all_activity=1 also, if you have no idea what the mega.nz strike is. it is basically, where someone has been striking mugen creations hosted on mega.nz this happened with unbyte and kuro first earlier this year now, josh. post on that is here: 

https://www.andersonkenya1.net/topic/48387-so-why-are-we-dmca-peoples-works-now-sl-zero-%E3%82%A8%E3%82%BB%E3%83%AB-s-works-have-been-dmcad/

https://www.andersonkenya1.net/topic/48396-if-you-use-meganz-for-your-mugen-works-stop-now-someone-is-filing-a-dmca-on-authors-who-use-it/

Which is why as of lately and for a while it is advised NOT to use mega.nz for mugen creations. in fact, I recommend using the following to store your creations

• Mediafire/Google Drive, 

• Dropbox, 

• Terabox, heck even other storage sites like getxuploader, etc...

Please please let this be a reminder to stop using mega.nz there is wayy better sites to use! if you need help moving all your files and creations to another storage space, me and noxxy can assist with that. 

That is all.

✮⋆˙Hi, so I would like to release some interesting information (that I will also be releasing on my website) that I’ve been keeping a secret for a while now, that I wanted to wait until near the end of January to announce, and that is…

I am working on a new project that is dedicated to making an extremely modified version of IKEMEN that can work with every cheapie tier, especially all WinMUGEN cheapies. And you’re probably wondering, “pfftt, how you gonna do that and how long has this been a thing?”

Well, believe it or not, I decided to take the time to learn Golang. You’re probably like, “TF is Golang?”

Golang is the coding language that IKEMEN uses, and really, what this language is, is an open-source programming language supported by Google. It is easy to learn, great for teams, and has built-in concurrency and a robust standard library — aka the language used for IKEMEN GO. SO… with this knowledge, I’ve decided to start a pretty interesting and my first LONG-TERM project called:

🏮IKEMEN: VOID🏮

✮⋆˙This is a modified version of IKEMEN in which it will be able to run more than just, y’know, nulls, but up to pretty much every cheapie tier. Because, believe it or not, in my IKEMEN testing videos, it is only able to run up to certain nulls, maybe low tier? But crazy/mad tier and tiers below that can run just fine in IKEMEN.

BUT, I want to make it to where EVERY type of cheapie can run on this version. Now, you’re probably going to ask, do you even have coding knowledge in general? And to answer your previous and this question: yes, I do. I have knowledge in Python and JS AND…

✮⋆˙Since IKEMEN GO is an open-source program, it is very possible to modify it to allow cheapies, aka exploits of every kind. This has been a thing since I discovered that you can run cheapies in IKEMEN in general, but not all of them. AND, I am not doing this only because of making cheapies of every kind run, BUT to finally create something all-in-one and compact.

✮⋆˙So for example, instead of going to WinMUGEN for WinMUGEN cheapies, and 1.X for 1.X cheapies, everything is all in one. Meaning, for those few that would love to have an engine that can actually be WinMUGEN, 1.0, and 1.1 all in one, this is as close or really, this can be it. Now, I already know there will be comments doubting this, but really, no point in doubting since this is open source, meaning this can be done. Other than that, this project is a LONG-TERM one, meaning do not expect it to be like a MUGEN collection or a MUGEN char project or whatever and see it done within a month.

✮⋆˙This is a project in which I will be looking into making it happen, AND the reason I am bringing it up is because I am looking for people who have good coding expertise to make it happen (if you guys like, ofc) and pay them for their time. If not, that is fine, for I plan later next month or so in the year to hire coding experts to make this happen.

✮⋆˙Other than that, that’s all I have to say. I know this is sudden, but this is because I plan to do much bigger things this year, and this is just the start, for I have another thing planned and many ideas on the table for you guys. And don’t forget, I know how the balanced community will react, but remember, this isn’t an IKEMEN that will ONLY run exploits and blah blah, but it’s basically just all MUGEN versions in one that will be in one thing, so you can still pretty much make balanced rosters with this thing just now you can include much older balanced characters too! So it’s a win-win for everyone, basically.

Soooooo what do you guys think? do you think this is an amazing idea or no? who do you think the face/mascot should be for IKEMEN: VOID, since it will be, I guess, themed around cheapies, but really, it doesn’t mean that, y’know, you HAVE to enjoy cheapies in order to use it. other than that ye enough yap let me know your thoughts. I think more updates on this project will most likely start when I am done with everything on my bump schedule to-do list. which you can view here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNKvcLqVVXQ&pp=2AYd

Other than that, keep a look-out for another amazing announcement, and this time it will be aimed for the MUGEN authors looking for a challenge ;-)

Hello, SO!

I mentioned a challenge for authors and well, it's not just a challenge but a super fun event that will put their talents and skills to the test! (this idea I got from noxxy challenging anyone to I think do a recreation so credits go to her for this idea) and, well this event is called drum roll please...

🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

✨The Recreation Gauntlet✨

This event is dedicated event to who can make the BEST (and unique) recreations of the following:

- Showcased private characters [for example, you can find a char from Black5125's channel and recreate it]

- Old Characters [For example, make your own recreations/remasters of old school chars such as rare akuma, hatsur, etc..]

- Lost Media Characters [For example of lost media chars, Daibutsu (kuroneko/Geese), Weegee (COSTA), etc..]

and, Other (meaning, you can do a recreation of mini game characters, defeat challenge, god tiers, etc...)

And, the best part is, MONEY is involved. yeah I know that got your attention c: 

You're probably wondering what do you mean?

Well, this fun challenge event is for authors from all over the world to showcase their talents and skills to crafting the best edit of a character or a character from scratch (up to you) that is to be a recreation of a character of any of the categories listed.

BUT, remember when doing this event this mean you cannot I mean, absolutely cannot involve the following characters to edit:

- Donald Edits (there's already thousands of donald edits, they do basically the same thing time to switch it up hell im even in a server where people are starting off the new year on making another donald edit so yeah we're good on that here)

- Touhou Edits (as much as I love touhou, they unfortunately, fall in the oversaturated part of mugen)

and, last but not least...

- JUS Edits (I KNOW this made some of y'all mad but trust me they unfortunately, still fall on the oversaturated part of mugen as well)

This is to show that creativity, uniquness and more is still and should be alive in mugen even to this day and not oversaturation, this is also to expand a bit more and get everyone out of their comfort zones because TRUST and believe I can tell when someone does not want to expand but it does not hurt because, believe it or not we've been lacking in that lately, and I want us to go back to having that and of course since, that requires a lot of work and time and effort, this event is to reward those willing to do it via moneitary prize for their time and efforts and to further promote their said creations and skill. now, let's get into how this event works (it's pretty simple don't worry)

How this event works is,

1. You choose or know to create whatever character in one of those categories I mentioned above

2. Then, you will submit a form, where you state what character you will recreate / work on, and other information (dw nothing personal)

3. Once, you have submitted your character entry via the form. I will receive notification of it and thus will let me know you entered.

4. When it's almost near the deadline you will then be notified to now submit your recreation via a new form (dw it will be hidden well)

Then, once we got enough entries, the deadline being March 25th (because, I KNOW editing and creating characters do take time) all of said entries will be showcased on video, and people will have to vote what they think is the best recreation of this entire challenge / event. and that winner, will win a monetary prize of $250 USD if they are #1 most voted best recreation!

BUT, REMEMBER there's hope for the other contestants, meaning if your recreation gets the 2nd most votes along with 3rd most votes, you'll receive monetary prizes of $100 for 2nd place, and 3rd place $90 so if you are lost it's like this.

1st Place Prize: $250 USD

2nd Place Prize: $100 USD

3rd Place Prize: $90 USD

Anyone below, these places you can still get a custom role within my discord for participating in said event plus a shout-out and showcase of your creations so it isn't a complete loss. SOOOO....that being said before we end this off completely, I know there will be some that will ask some questions when it comes to events like this and I already know, here are my answers.

1. Is this legit?

A: Yes, I have ran mugen related events before. I've ran a giveaway along with, a tournament involving prizes that of course cost money. I've also contributed monetary to the community by buying a author a new PC, released Execution 2.0 (yes a $300 donald edit) and even, have paid for a commission for hyzen for a mugen project of mine. 

2. Can these submissions be kept private?

A: No, you can't submit your creation to an event, and when the time of the event arrives, it can't be downloaded. that defeats the whole purpose of the event if you are a privateer. this is a PUBLIC event, in which all creations will be public when all these are showcased for everyone to enjoy your creation. (if you do not agree on this that's fine you do not need to participate)

3. Is this really international?

A: Yes, all my events even this one is always international. meaning, you can be asian, hispanic, etc.. we do not discrminate in this channel, this is a safe space.

4. How will I be paid if I won in either 1st or 2nd or 3rd place?

A: It depends on what payment method you have, what I have is Zelle, Cashapp, Paypal, Wise, and Venmo. if you prefer, to be gifted via gift card that will also work as well. 

5. Is there a Limit on entries?

A: No, the entries are unlimited. we aren't like WWE rn where suddenly the royal rumble is "full" lmao everyone of every race, and gender, and age can enter this event.

6. What version do they have to be on?

ANY version will do since, all the characters will be tested / showcased on IKEMEN anyways (but if they are packed with DTC coding and are for winmugen then they will be tested there).

That is all, I look forward to any submissions I might see, the form to enter is here. https://forms.gle/DKtrVsBZecSirMh48

if you guys have ANY questions or concerns, please let me know! :D feel free to share this event everywhere as well. and if this event is successful, I'll do a version where it's involves more than just chars, but screenpacks, stages, etc..

So, I have been receiving some info from you guys that you guys have been getting: "The owner of this file has exceeded their monthly public transfer quota" now usually, this shouldn't be happening considering that..

I am on 4TB, but since it's confirmed that you all were mass downloading these mugens to the point that it reached the monthly transfer quota, (despite me being 100% certain that I thought it didn't reach the limit) it gives off that message. so here's what will happen since I already did state the following:

Icedrive is meant to be a huge storage for all of my mugens old and new. so basically, a last resort and this was a test to see how long it can sustain itself. and so far, it sustained itself well until now. so does this mean, I'll drop icedrive? no since, it is a lifetime plan meaning people are only to go downloading any mugens of mine as a last resort via icedrive which I did mention something like this in one of my bump videos / announcements.

So, what will happen is I will increase my google drive storage temporarily for future releases throughout the year. while, icedrive will be treated as a last resort. and as per usual, Terabox will be as backup links. now, you're probably wondering why all these storage options? well, it's for organization. 

Meaning, can't and don't feel like following the steps to bypass the google drive limit? download the terabox backup link, that doesn't work? go to icedrive as the very last resort. so basically, I am giving more options for people to download my contents since I honestly, think it seems reasonable. 

That will be all. I will subscribe to the google plan on the 18th. so 2 days before my birthday :D 

So for now, I recommend utilizing the backup link of the last mugens or, shit it wouldn't hurt to explore the new ones. (anything except for that ugly lookin anime mugen omg lmao) and if you guys do find any loopholes please let me know cuz I couldn't find any thankies! :D

I've released a post for people to decide an extension date on the deadline for the event for, I KNOW it takes time to make said characters. you can check out and vote for which extension date you think would be best for you all (authors) in regards of the event. thankies!

Most Important and Exciting Announcement!

So, first things first...

I think we all already know this but today is my bday, yes I am even more of a aunt now lmaoo but that's also not what I am announcing this for but, I am announcing something huge that has never been done for the M.U.G.E.N community and I think can bring somewhat of a much BROADER audience to this very niche engine.

And well you're probably wondering, what is it? well, it is drum roll please...

🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

Mikazuki's M.U.G.E.N/I.K.E.M.E.N TV Channel! (or it's actual name: M.U.G.E.N | I.K.E.M.E.N TV)

You read that CORRECTLY, this not a prank or bait. this is an actual thing I was able come up with an idea of and take the time to make for you all and any potential fans who uses streaming TV as their main source of entertainment.

This is a Jellyfin Streaming/Media Channel, that you all can watch 24/7 and it has a different schedule everyday 😄 it runs videos from the most popular mugen channels all the way to the pretty obscure ones, and there's even a room on the block for really old school mugen and even ikemen videos on there as well.

The best part is, it will not only include the usual, mugen battles, but mugen commentary as well from my channel and a few others and really more mugen content in general. but, the channel isn't fully complete yet. I know, BUT good news once I have all the videos setup it will be released around tomorrow or, the day after. it will be thru Jellyfin c:

It will also contain content from the following channels that ranges from popular to obsecure such as:

• Me (Mikazuki)

• Porial Mcporial

• Noxxy

• minase

• KingDemonic666

• ジョンドゥ

• Tapioka

• Twilight Sparkle Alicorn Mugen And Winmugen

• Katchup Sauce

• DumbAhLxck

• and much more!

The best part is, this will be a channel more than just on mugen battles and showcases but also commentary videos will be on there as well, meaning there will be a diverse range of mugen/ikemen content on the channel.

Although, if you feel as your videos shouldn't be broadcasted, let me know. since, I know there has been cases people don't want their videos to be broadcasted on a media server so let me know. 

And, since channels do depend on viewership (and since im basically like using a cloud service for it to run) if this channel lowkey becomes a success it will continue to go on for a long time fr. So yeah I look forward to your thoughts on this and have a lovely day everyone!
