Chars [verified] - Mugen

In the vast ecosystem of fighting games, few phenomena are as chaotic, creative, and fascinating as the world of M.U.G.E.N . At its heart lies a single, deceptively simple unit: the Char (short for character). To the uninitiated, a M.U.G.E.N char might look like just another sprite on a screen. To enthusiasts, it represents a unique fusion of coding, pixel art, and pop culture mash-ups that no commercial game can legally replicate. What is a M.U.G.E.N Char? M.U.G.E.N is a free, 2D fighting game engine developed by Elecbyte. It does not come with a fixed cast of characters. Instead, it is a stage. The performers—the chars —are user-created files that you, the player, must download and install.
