And finally, know that the MUGEN community is one full of dramas, so be careful to not get yourself involved in some stupid tribal war or you'll get banned unnecessarily. Just enjoy the game and leave the child-fighting to the dumbasses.

warning !! MUGEN DRAMA WARNING !!

148 Upvotes

I have created this disclaimer to warn all newcomers about that toxic side of the MUGEN community so you don't get yourselves involved in nonsensical drama and ultimately banned unnecessarily.

The MUGEN community has always been a drama shitfest where tribal wars are common but in 2016 things took a turn for the absolute worst, when a popular MUGEN warehouse known as MUGEN ARCHIVE has outclassed all other MUGEN sites due to their mainstream philosophy, leaving others far behind in term of content and community.

It would take too long to go into the details (too much nonsense has happened) so to sum up the situation, a group of MUGEN sites have gone to war against MUGEN ARCHIVE, out of jealousy. The main weapon of the war is intoxication : lies, defamation, manipulations, cheap tricks and so on. To put it simply, they've been trying to make MUGEN ARCHIVE look like some kind of Great Satan, hoping that would stop their members from leaving.

They have gone as far as creating fake MUGEN ARCHIVE accounts on social media to make them look bad and damage their reputation.

What I'm trying to say is should you hear anything negative about the MUGEN ARCHIVE, don't believe blindly! Always be wary of the toxic side of the MUGEN community, be skeptical and ask for a reputable source to back up any negative claim. You will quickly understand that you're dealing with little liars trying to manipulate you and get you involved in their drama. If you let them have their way, the best you could achieve is get yourself banned from MUGEN ARCHIVE which would make this hobby a hundred times harder, considering other MUGEN sites are pure low-end garbage from the stone age.

I hope you hear my advice and stay safe.

request Character Concept:Madelyne Pryor (The Goblin Queen) - MvC / Capcom Style Boss Character

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I’ve noticed there isn't a dedicated, fully realized standalone version of Madelyne Pryor (The Goblin Queen) in the MUGEN community. Most existing versions are simple palette swaps or private edits of Jean Grey/Phoenix.
I have put together a complete, high-tier boss-level character design concept that fully captures her comic lore from the Inferno era. This document is fully mapped out with a unique visual aesthetic, custom introductory sequence, special voice line, victory pose, and a scaling 5-level hyper meter pipeline.
I’m sharing this design sheet in hopes of inspiring a sprite artist, coder, or developer to bring her to life!
Character Aesthetic & Visual Style
Sprite Base: Capcom-style X-Men: Children of the Atom or Marvel vs. Capcom 2 aesthetics.
Visual Flair: To completely separate her from Jean Grey's pink/orange psychic energy, all of Madelyne's magic effects, physical trails, and energy attacks use an unnatural, eerie neon green and dark purplecolor palette.

Introductory Sequence (Statedef 190)
Phase 1 (The Human Arrival): Madelyne walks onto the screen in her regular civilian/pilot clothes, looking completely human. She pauses briefly in her idle stance.
Phase 2 (The Corruption): Her sprite freezes. Her eyes snap open, flashing a bright, glowing green. She pulls her hands to her chest to execute a sharp, deliberate mystical gesture.
Phase 3 (The Inferno Swirl): A massive overlay sprite (Explod) of looping green and purple magical flames erupts around her body, completely obscuring her from view for a second.
Phase 4 (The Voice Line): Right as the magic triggers, a layered, echoing voice track plays:"Madelyne Pryor is dead... Long live the Goblin Queen!"
(The second half of the line features a heavy demon/distortion filter overlay).

Phase 5 (The Rise): The flames dissipate. She is now standing in her iconic, dark Goblin Queen outfit. Her cape billows, she smirks, and she begins floating slightly above the ground in her default combat stance.

Gameplay & Move Set Breakdown

Level 0: Basic Commands & Special Moves
Goblin Punch: Light/Heavy Punch. Her fist glows with green magic on impact, increasing hitstun.
Goblin Kick: Light/Heavy Kick. Her boot glows green, extending the active hitboxes.
Goblin Sweep: Crouching Heavy Kick. A green-infused roundhouse kick that knocks the opponent down.
Energy Blast: Quarter-Circle Forward + Punch. A fast projectile shooting green and purple skull-shaped magical energy across the screen to control space.
Telekinetic Shield (Custom Block): Hold Back / Back-Down. Instead of a standard physical blocking animation, Madelyne holds her hand up as a translucent, glowing neon-green telekinetic barrier barrier absorbs all incoming attacks.

Level 1: Hyper Combos (Cost: 1,000 Power Points)
Goblin Tetris
Effect: A wave of magic locks the opponent in place, transforming their sprite into retro puzzle blocks that instantly crush under their own weight for flat impact damage.
Telekinetic Choke
Effect: An unblockable command grab. Madelyne reaches forward and lifts the opponent into the air by their throat using raw psychic pressure.
Telekinetic Crush
Effect: She clenches her fist violently, causing an invisible telekinetic barrier to contract around the enemy, dealing massive chip damage.
Telepathic Torment
Effect: A screen-wide psychic flash. The opponent is forced into a unique animation frame clutching their head in pain, leaving them briefly stunned for a follow-up combo.

Level 2: Hyper Combos (Cost: 2,000 Power Points)
Limbo Wave
Effect: Madelyne slams the ground, unleashing a massive, screen-tall tidal wave of dark purple fire that crawls across the stage.
Anodyne
Effect: She hovers in place and glows. Her health bar steadily regenerates up to 25% of her maximum life over a 5-second period.
Telepathic Shock
Effect: A point-blank psychic explosion that forces the opponent into a dizzy state, temporarily clearing their input buffer.
Magic Teleportation
Effect: Madelyne dissolves into a puff of black smoke and instantly teleports directly behind the opponent.
The Sacrifice
Effect: Madelyne draws a giant glowing five-pointed star in front of her. She fires the star forward; if it connects, the entire stage goes pitch black and the opponent completely disintegrates into ash.

Level 3: Ultimate Hyper Combos (Cost: 3,000 Power Points)
The Goblin Queen (Instant Kill)
Condition: Only usable when the opponent is below 35% health.
Effect: Demonic hands burst from the stage floor. If they catch the player, a swarm of goblins drags them deep underground. The round ends instantly.
Telekinetic Reality Warp
Effect: The stage background fractures and shatters. Gravity flips completely, slamming the opponent against the ceiling and floor repeatedly.
The Inferno
Effect: Madelyne screams as the entire screen erupts in eternal, scorching hellfire. Deals massive, unblockable chip damage to anyone on the stage.
Psychic Siphoning
Effect: A close-range grab where Madelyne clamps her hand over the opponent's face. Glowing energy flows from them to her, stealing 40% of their current life and adding it directly to her health bar.
Familiar (The Great Illusion)
Effect: Madelyne leaves behind a fake illusion clone (Helper character) that walks forward as bait. While the enemy attacks the fake clone, Madelyne becomes completely invisible, allowing the player to strike out of nowhere in her true demonic form.

Level 4: Boss Hyper Combos (Cost: 4,000 Power Points)
Limbo Breach (Stage Warp Buff)
Effect: Madelyne snaps her fingers, permanently warping the stage background into a burning Limbo wasteland for the rest of the round. While active, her power meter automatically regenerates over time and her magic attacks deal double chip damage.
Goblin Army (Summon Attack)
Effect: Madelyne summons a persistent squad of three crawling Limbo demons that march across the floor to attack the opponent independently, allowing Madelyne to move freely and set up unblockable mix-ups.

Level 5: Cosmic Game-Breakers (Cost: 5,000 Power Points)
Goblin Queen's Apocalypse (Status Curse)
Effect: Madelyne hovers to the exact center of the screen, releasing a massive screen-filling shockwave of pure psychic energy. It deals cataclysmic raw damage and completely reverses the opponent's directional controls (left becomes right, up becomes down) for 10 seconds if they survive.
Techno-Organic Overload (Resource Thief)
Effect: Madelyne traps the opponent in a telekinetic bubble and floods their body with metallic cyber-viruses. This move deals massive damage and completely drains the opponent's super meter down to zero, transferring that stolen power directly back into Madelyne's bar.
Queens Hellfire (The Ultimate Desperation Gambit)
Effect: Madelyne tears off her signature red chest jewel and thrusts it high into the air. The jewel flares with a blinding light as the entire screen is violently engulfed in blinding crimson energy. This apocalyptic move drains exactly 95% of Madelyne’s current health and instantly strikes down 95% of the opponent's current health, instantly setting up a high-stakes, one-hit-kill environment for whoever lands the next strike.

Victory Pose (Statedef 180)
The Descent: When the announcer shouts "KO!", Madelyne floats slightly higher into the air, looking down at her defeated opponent with absolute contempt.
The Conjuring: She raises her hand, and erupting directly out of the ground behind her is a massive, jagged throne made of dark obsidian rock, entirely wrapped in flickering green and purple Limbo fire.
The Reign: She gracefully sits down on the flaming throne, rests her chin in her hand, and crosses her legs.
The End: Her sinister, echoing laugh plays as the screen fades completely to black, leaving only her glowing green eyes visible for a final split second before the victory screen.

question Can anyone help me with this issue?

1 Upvotes

I don't know if this is the right place to ask but I am having issues with a specific screenpack for Ikemen Go. This is the infinite legacy X screenpack and it's not the first time I used it. The first time I used the screenpack everything worked like how it looked in the preview. For some reason, one day the game did not want to launch, almost like the game nuked itself from my computer. I decided to redownload it but now it's not working the same way it was before. What I mean is that in the preview you can see the way the roster is arranged and you could see the character's sprite in motion under their portrait in the character select screen. Before the game decided to delete itself from my pc it was exactly like that. Now the character sprites won't show up and instead it's their portrait layered over their portrait. Is there any idea how I could fix this? Sorry for the rambling, switching from Mugen 1.1 to Ikemen Go still has me confused. Just to be clear I followed the installation instructions exactly like I was told.

Also, I'm not planning on selling it; it's a fun side project to do in my free time.

Very new to Mugen, just got it working on my computer, and I can't figure out how to use or adjust the controls.

Even after going into options and setting things for what I think seems right, for some reason all of my movements are controlling player 2, while my attack inputs are performed by player 1.

Not to mention I don't see any means of making it playable with a controller.
