  1. Unfortunately, some sites do have data leaks, at times. I'm not aware of any on this list that had any, but then comes the unethical practices of some sites such as the Mugen Archive. The moderators of that site takes content from other creators that are intended to be free for Mugen and profit off of said content, most notably, the monetary donations they try to make users do and for so many users, force them to do in order to access anything to download. Sometimes, even donating to that dreaded site doesn't work, and some users are still locked out of downloading anything from that site. These "donations" are, in fact, illegal as they are profiting off of characters that do not belong to them, and violates copyright laws and infringes on multiple companies copyrights. The moderators of the Mugen Archive even has pirated copies of paid video games that I've learned of from RicePigeon on another topic that I posted in on this issue about the Mugen Archive. Whatever you do, do not visit or make a account on the Mugen Archive. The same thing goes for any site on this blacklist. For more information on the illegal practices of the Mugen Archive, click on the link below this explanation for further insight that I give in the topic "mugen archive - A Deserving Rant-" on this horrendous site that is the Mugen Archive.
  2. Good to know, RicePigeon, especially when it comes to that dreaded Mugen Archive that is breaking copyright infringement laws, as we know it with the archive's pushing for so called monetary "donations." I'll keep this list in mind when browsing these forums for Mugen content.
  3. As the title says, I have done a couple of custom palettes for Alucard's Batman in the style of Thomas Wayne as Batman from the Flashpoint alternate universe. I've recolored the bat symbol and the utility belt on the palettes to red, with the eyes recolored to red, as well to represent the eye color when the Flashpoint Batman wears his cowl. I've also done a alternate version where his batsuit has a darker shade of gray for you to choose which one you like. These palettes are designed to work with Alucard's Batman, as such. To add these palettes into Mugen, download the zip file that I shared in this post, extract the folder from the zip file, copy the palettes into the "pals" folder in Batman's character folder, then open Batman's def file and replace any palette from his palette section from pal1 to pal6. Then save the def file and boot up Mugen to try out these palettes. I don't recommend replacing any of his palettes for pal7 to pal12 as certain palettes are designed for special modes, such as the Batzarro mode on pal8. I hope you all enjoy these palette edits for Alucard's Batman. You all take care, and be safe during this COVID-19 pandemic.

  4. That's insane. That is yet another reason to blacklist the Mugen Archive. I too hope that if they are caught for their piracy that they are made to pay all the money they have to all the companies they have infringed copyrights against and are held accountable for their piracy. This is criminal, and not a single member who donated should ever receive a single penny back and it goes to paying restitution for violating copyright. I'll admit that I had the misfortune of joining the Mugen Archive, first, before realizing their sleazy practices and joined this site. Thankfully, I have never donated any money, not even a single cent, to this criminal site. Now that I know they also pirate copyrighted games, as well, I distrust them even more. Thanks for bringing this up, RicePigeon. As such, we must keep the Mugen Archive blacklisted forever and hope they pay the price for their crimes and selfish greed.
  5. I have found more reasons to dislike the Mugen Archive. Their previous use of AdFly was used for downloading anything from the archive to make money, whether it be characters or stages or even full mugen games or screenpacks. I have learned they have dropped AdFly for advertising to generate revenue, but still ask for donations. This is a big problem. By using AdFly and asking for donations for the Mugen Archive, they are breaking copyright laws to characters they don't own. This is piracy. Marvel, Capcom, SNK, DC Comics and so on and so forth own their characters for their respective intellectual property. Such custom characters, for example, like Superman and Batman, both owned by DC Comics, I consider interactive fan art, and should not be used for profits or monetary gain. Anytime that anyone sells fan art like Mugen characters that resemble Marvel or DC characters is infringing copyright laws on whatever company owns the characters that we, the players and creators, do not legally own. They essentially become bootlegs. Such copyright infringement, as we know it, is illegal, and if Marvel Entertainment, LLC. or DC Comics or Disney, and even Capcom and so forth finds that the Mugen Archive is asking for donations for so called "VIP" status, they can and quite frankly should file a cease and desist order to stop the Mugen Archive from receiving donations for content they do not legally own. Some former users of the Mugen Archive are even locked out of their accounts and are required to make a donation to regain access to their accounts. Again, this is illegal. These mandatory donations are enabling the Mugen Archive to commit piracy for content they do not legally have any copyrights to. With that said, some characters are original works, and originally conceived by actual artists who worked on all the sprites and moves of their original characters. For example, Dragon Claw is an original character created by Singaporean creator Reuben Kee, and he had copyright for his Dragon Claw. Even after his death from a team boating race that drowned him and several of his teammates when his boat tipped over, I believe his surviving family now own the rights to Dragon Claw, even though he is still available to download for free, which I am grateful that they still allow players to download him and add to their Mugen. May Reuben Kee rest in peace. With that said, I hope these points I have brought up helps all of us understand that they are breaking copyright laws and are committing piracy with these so called donations that they for some players are mandatory for them to even access anything. To finish this post off, I'll leave a link for a video by True Gamer on YouTube for his input on the Mugen Archive, as this video helped me with my post. You all take care, and have a good one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh2fOb8CiGQ
  6. Another point to dislike the Mugen Archive: let's not forget the "community weekend event" that prohibits inactive users from downloading from Mugen Archive, in which, according to Dizzy, is intended to be a community growing event to become more "active members." This sort of thing is ridiculous and is another reason that so many former members, like myself, have turned away from the Mugen Archive. As such, we cannot control what they do with their website or their actions. We can only control what we can do about our lives and just move on past the Mugen Archive and join better sites like Mugen Free For All. Another thing to know is if the moderators there like Dizzy keeps their bad antics up, eventually, they will end up losing so much support and won't be as active as they'd like to be. As for you're ban from the site, Modo_ekitz, I'm sorry to here about it. As we know, they are nothing but a bunch of immature hacks who doesn't know how to run a website properly. We just have to move on from the Mugen Archive and never look back. That is all I have to say about the archive in this post for now. And as Dissidia already said on this topic, "welcome to the club."
  7. I've found another version of Samus in her Other M Varia suit by OHMSBY. I'll have a link in this post for the creator's site with the character and other characters. https://sites.google.com/view/ohmsby-mugen/characters And here is the home page of OHMSBY's mugen site, in case you want to know the source of the Samus character. https://sites.google.com/view/ohmsby-mugen/home?authuser=0 Take care, and have a good one.
