Civil reminder to keep things on topic, people. Just had to split off a bunch of off-topic posts.

Wrong thread. Moving to somewhere more appropriate.

Something that this guide never addresses is that using random in your AI triggers is bad coding practice. The reason for this for two reasons; Mugen processes states in top-down order, including the negative states (-3, -2, and -1) Random returns a different value every time it is called Take the following code into consideration: Looking at each AI changestate at face value, you would think that each one has a 30% chance at activating (random<300 roughly equates to 30% chance). However, because mugen processes states in top-down order, if the first changestate occurs, the second changestate will never process. Thus, the second changestate in actuality only has a 21% chance of occuring (70% chance of the 1st changestate not occuring, plus the 30% chance that the 2nd changestate will occur). When you have multiple AI changestates with similar or identical trigger conditions, you will need to account for this. A common way to do this (and much better practice) is to instead store the result of random into a variable, and compare the variable to different ranges of values in order to determine which changestate should occur.

Its been 4 days, but 0 questions, so I'll extend for another 4 days.

Its time for another CotM. There are a few changes to make note of this time around: Character of the Period has been abolished. Instead, all winners of CotM will be lumped together in CotY. In the event of a tie, voting will be extended by 1 week. If the tie is not broken by then, there will be no Silver winners for that month. Counter-Nominations no longer count toward your limit of 4 nominations per month, but you are still limited to only one per month. Nominations & Voting Rules You may nominate up to 4 characters per month. You may only nominate a character that was released and/or updated during the given month. You cannot nominate characters that have previously won Gold or Silver in any previous Character of the Month. Be specific as to which character you are nominating; include both the name and the author name and, if applicable, the release thread of the character. To make things easier, we suggest that you append the number of nominations that the character has, including your own, when you make your nominations. Characters that have been nominated by at least 3 different people will become candidates for voting. Candidates for voting cannot be nominated any more (as there is no real purpose to this) Voting begins 15 days after the nomination period began, or once 20 characters have been nominated as candidates. The Nomination period will end on the 16th of every month, while the Voting period will end on the 1st of the following month, with a 1 week extension given in the event of a tie. The winner will be announced at the end of this period. At the end of each month, the top 2 voted characters will be declared the Gold and Silver winners, respectively. In the event of a tie, voting will be extended by 1 week. If the tie is not broken by then, there will be no Silver winners for that month. During this time, you will be permitted to vote for one character for CotM. So please choose wisely You may choose to do a Counter-Nomination. Counter-Nominations can only be done on characters that have obtained at least 3 nominations for CotM. When doing a Counter-Nomination, you MUST list the reason(s) why you believe that the character should not be in the list of candidates. Note that if we, the staff of MFFA, feel that your reason for candidacy rejection is not adequate enough, we have the right to reject your Counter-Nomination. At least three (3) valid Counter-Nominations are required for a character to be removed from the list of candidates. You can only make one Counter-Nomination per month, which does not count towards your 4 nomination limit. No collusion of any kind. If we find out that anyone has conspired with other users to nominate characters for the sole purpose of preventing another character from being nominated as a candidate by flooding the list of candidates until it reaches maximum capacity, those nominations will be null and void and all parties involved will be banned from participating in future CotM. That being said, January 2016 Nominations will end on February 15th, 2016.

2015 may be over, and we have selected the best characters of each month, but which of them is the best of all? Now's your chance to decide!

Thread title updated. For the sake of fairness, everyone who was picked prior to July 2015 is now eligible again. List on the first page has been updated to reflect this.

Another viability update. : Added to F (Unranked) No niche in the UUbers meta without its Mega Evolution : Added to F (Unranked) Like Kangaskhan, no niche in the meta without its Mega Evolution. Offensively its outclassed by other notable dragons (Mega Charizard X, Palkia, Reshiram, Arceus-Dragon) (Electric): Added to B Adding it here for now. Has boltbeam coverage in Ice Beam + STAB Judgement (Electric), so it can take out a myriad of threats with its neutral coverage and base 120 speed. While it loses to Groudon 1v1, it gives it a hard time switching in due to Ice Beam 2HKOing the beast. Calm Mind + Recover lets it easily 2HKO Assault Vest Palkia. Obviously needs some support before it can pull off a Calm Mind sweep, hence why it goes into B for the time being. (Fire): Added to C Faces competition from other Fire type Pokemon such as the Mega Charizards, Reshiram, the Blazikens, and Heatran, all of which sport useful secondary typings that give them an advantage, either offensively or defensively. However, it does have wide coverage that allows it to take out certain key threats; STAB Overheat OHKOs Groudon in the sun and Ice Beam for the Landorus formes, for example. (Bug): Added to D Temporary until unranked, unless someone can prove its effectiveness, but bug simply doesn't seem like a very strong typing in the current metagame.

There's plenty of legitimate ways to make money, but doing it off of a copyrighted character is not one of them. And quite frankly, just because a forum doesn't allow adfly links is not a good reason to keep characters private. If money is your sole motivation for this character then you might want to rethink your priorities. Trust me, we're not the first mugen forum to disallow ad referral links and we certainly won't be the last.

Updated first post with Jenngra's link

This. Please update the first post with a different link within the next 24 hours.

You already answered back in June but if you insist...

Thread's been dead for about 3 months so the next person who posts that is eligible will be selected for questions for the next 4 days.

Nobody's trying to drive anyone out of the community. I don't understand why you're getting so defensive but it sounds like you're going way off topic and I don't want future posts in this thread to follow suit.

So this is what we've been teaching our children...

Ah, that explains my confusion then

This sounds familiar. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that the same compilation released over at MFG that had some very tasteless stages including stages made from photos of corpses in a nazi death camp and mass-lynchings of african-americans during the mid-late 1800s?

Nominations are over, you have to vote only one using the poll.
