MUGEN 2

MUGEN 2 is a "sequel" to MUGEN, the fighting game engine known for it's wide variety of characters that were created by the community, and thousands of fighters, both original and from popular fiction, have were created. Although MUGEN 2 is the same in that respect, the engine is almost entirely different. This means all characters created in the original are not compatible. This caused a major upset in the community, however people soon got over it as the new features and better engine was ultimately for the best.

Gameplay
The engine uses 4 directional keys along with 7 buttons for gameplay (A, B, C, X, Y, Z and Start), in order to accommodate six-button fighters which use three punches, three kicks and a start button. However, characters do not necessarily use all seven buttons, nor need to follow a traditional six- or four-button format.

New to MUGEN 2 is four player mode, with up to eight characters being able to be on the screen at the same time. Four players, with four characters controlled by the AI, are all able to be on the same screen at the same time.

The main mode of play is Arcade mode, where a character fights random characters as in other fighter games or use a coding to decide order. There are also three different kinds of Team modes: Single, Simul, and Turns. In Team mode, either side can use any of the team modes. Single is identical to not having a team, Simul gives that side a computer-controlled partner who fights simultaneously, and Turns uses a different character for each round of play, varying from a set number usually from 2 to 4 different characters in a row. If set, the characters' starting life will be adjusted according to the number of players on each side. If one side has two characters and the other has only one in one of the Team modes, the side with two characters will each have half their respective normal maximum life values. However this can be turned off in options.

Two brand new modes are added: Online and Story.

In Online, you battle opponents from all across the globe. You can either play with players that are only playing with characters you already have or you can go up against opponents that have characters you don't. These matches take longer to start as MUGEN 2 has to download their character data temporarily. If the opponent is defeated, you have the option to download their character to add to your roster.

Story mode is single player only and can be crafted in the new story engine. A multitude of story modes can be created with characters on the roster and you can lock characters as well as designate characters as boss characters or enemy characters.

Also new is modes that change the gameplay similar to Super Smash Bros, although this only changes the stage and jumping mechanics.
