Strongly recommend going through the process of creating a character in MUGEN/Ikemen. It's easy enough (with some legacy rough edges), and with Ikemen you can use it in multiplayer. There is a lot of depth in implementing specific fighting game mechanics and a wealth of resources out there from people who have gone before. The community is eccentric but like fighting games has a lot of depth in ultra niche areas.

Eccentric, I don't know what you're talking about. Who hasn't dreamed of seeing characters from Jojo Bizarre Adventure and Ronald McDonald face off?

I've always wanted to do this - do you have any articles / videos that helped you get started? Is Fighter Factory Studio still the way to go? As an aside, this feels like a fun application of Gen AI (generating sprites + movesets based on photos of friends or hand drawn characters, etc).

  Fighter Factory Studio and just make a few characters to figure out the quirks. The elecbyte documentation is ok for the basics, and then there are a few tutorials on MUGENGuild and MFFA as well. I agree, and I have the dataset to make a GenAI project out of this. Maybe I will do it someday!

  The Ikemen Go wiki is a pretty good resource especially surrounding new features such as 3D stages and other new state controllers. I personally use Fighter Factory 3 still. From my experience, it is the most stable version. https://github.com/ikemen-engine/Ikemen-GO/wiki https://github.com/ikemen-engine/Ikemen-GO/wiki

I remember making a character in MUGEN in Highschool when I first discovered it. It was some very overpowered OC pixelart thing I made, which in retrospect makes me cringe a little remember how shoddily made it was. It's nice to see the community is still around and kicking, I should try it out again sometime. Just watching the AI controlled characters battle it out was always fun.
