Well i figured this section needs more....discussions so i thought this would be a nice subject, especially since everyone seems to have different thoughts & feelings on the subject. I'm sure at some point in everyone's mugen career,they've come across a char that kinda looked interesting that they wanted,only to find out it is "private" or "rare" or "WIP" that will never be released to the general public. Whatever the case may be, im sure if not everyone,the vast majority has been in a situation where you just wonder "why?" its just a char etc etc There are some really good and unique chars that fall in this category and then there are the.....not so special or good ones. But people still clamor for them. I mean look at all the Orochi's............. I guess for me,it keep mugen a little interesting,but in some cases its just stupid. I hate it,yet i'm always catching myself wanting these chars. I've also watched people over the years give praise to horrible "private" creations and i wonder why? I understand the user has many things you want from them but obviously sucking up isnt going to get you far(not usually anyway),and in my eyes,it encourages more bad creations,or just adds to the person's ego. It never ends well. What do you guys think?

well, didn't end totally as originally planned since I had to get rid of the compositing, remove the flowers and make it in layers to optimize time, my only complaint is that I couldn't get rid of the grass outline, I guess I'll just update it once 1.1 is out to make the grass blend perfectly with the mountains and the foreground.

In my Opinion: I feel as for "Rare" Characters a majority of the time they're merely just eyecandy on a select screen with no function in gameplay. Some of them are genuinely 'Rare' though! They earn that status through the exclusivity of that character because the websites that hosted it went down (COUGH COUGH Megaupload COUGH). As for exclusive/private content, I think its the author's decision because we are not owed it. However when they show it on a public setting, like say a YouTube video, but don't offer it to the public; That's just kind of a (excuse my language), A dick thing to do. It's the real-life equivlient of a man waving a 100$ bill directly infront of your face. But thats just my 5 cents.
