Those look like UN's sprites, but that Palette Selector is new. I'm going to have to try this out. Edit: Hm. "The structure of the archive is damaged." Edit again: Okay, converted it from .rar to .zip and managed to extract it. Weird. Anyway, I think I like it.

... not the character I was expecting, honestly. (I was expecting Fighter's History's Clown) But it's Ahuron, so I have to try it.

... I know I've seen this before. Is it an update, or a new version using someone else's sprites, or what?

I'm a few days behind on this, but it looks *hilarious*. That alone is enough for me to give it a try.

Update: Added link to Root Pack.

Grim Matchstick was updated on 2/9/2018, but I didn't update the link until today. Per the Grim Matchstick topic on MFG:

Cuphead bosses, by DarkRuler I didn't see any of these characters here, so I thought I'd post them all at once. (If they have been posted and I just missed them, feel free to delete). They're not perfect, but they're so much better than the other Cuphead characters I've found floating about (most of which only have one form and barely any attacks).

Hm, looks like the site is having some problems today. Anyway, Trivia time! Pon is also called Hercules in Death Brade/Mutant Fighter. (Specifically, he's a Hercules named Pon, but the English version took all the names out, leaving just the character classes or species. Yes, for some reason, "Hercules" is considered a character class and not a name) For the record, the other characters are named Michael (the Fighter), Cindy (the Amazoness), Boggy (the Werewolf), Shankar (the Minotaur), Bodca (the Golem), Flea (the Beast), Joseph (the Dragon), Charry (the Hydra), Behoroi (the Doppelganger), Pazuzu (the Demon - the only one who kept his name in the US), and Cronus (the Archmage). I hope someone makes the Dragon some day, but at least there's Pon and Pazuzu for now.

Looks like the Final Fantasy collection is gone, too. http://mugenfreeforall.com/topic/57-final-fantasy-series But it's also gone from the Collection Directory topic, so was this deliberate? Edit: Castlevania is gone, too, from both the forum and the directory topic. I'm starting to think it is deliberate.

I love that they used the classic Loki costume rather than his MCU costume. Gotta try this out for that alone.

... does the boss actually look like that in Dungeon Fighter Online, or is it just a Dragon King Bakal sprite edit? Interesting character, though.

Ahuron is one of my favorite authors. His normal characters are very playable (though rarely true-to-source, and I mean that in a good way), while his weird characters are weird and also very fun (like Unlucky Glauber, which is Lucky Glauber with his moves made more awkward, and Briaaaaaaaaaan, who is just a ridiculously over-the-top version of Brian Battler). I also love his Giant Boss characters, like Lavos Core (Chrono Trigger), Son of Sun (ditto), or Master Toadman (Mega Man 4, but with attacks from the entire series, including Dr. Wily's MM10 ships). And then he doubles down and goes for Boss Plus Weird, and you get guys like Saigo No Saigo ("The End of the End", final boss of the cult classic kusoge Trio the Punch). Every time he releases a new character, it's an instant download for me. (I just really don't like that he moved his downloads to another site. His old download page had pictures of the characters)

I didn't see this mentioned, but Ahuron's Toadman is actually a heavily-edited "Master Toadman", who uses attack patterns and weapons from many different Robot Masters and other bosses, switching randomly from one to another. Moreover, on Round 2, you have to defeat him four times - once as himself, the other three times as Wily's three forms from Mega Man 10 (both forms of the Pirate Ship Mecha, but with the skull replaced by a frog-like face, and the Wily Saucer).

... wait, why is the Megatron palette green? Megatron (every version, from the classic G1 Transformers to the recent Michael Bay movies) is silver and black.

I've seen him called "James Morgan", but that also appears to be entirely fanon. (Probably from a fanfic)
