Gambit by Caretaker, aka Ace of Spadez + Razox

[LGM2006]

Here's another topic in which that I would like to ask on this site. It's about two different versions of Gambit from the Marvel vs. Capcom series that were made during the old days of MUGEN.

 

The first version of this character that I'm trying to look for is the one made by Ace of Spadez, otherwise known as Caretaker. It's also a missed opportunity for me to share this character on the Marvel Comics collection while trying to add some of the other chars in that collection. Unfortunately, it's offline, as if I couldn't even find a single link to download this particular Gambit. As of now, it is currently listed in Electrocaid's Perfect Select.

 

Here are some screenshots of this character, for more info:

 

There's also another even older version of the character, made by a Brazilian creator named Razox. It's probably the first version of Gambit in MUGEN, as shown in the preview below. I know he is only made for DOS MUGEN, but still. Also listed in the Perfect Select:

 

I apologize for the low quality of the third screenshot. But If any of you guys manage to have these version of Gambit, let me know and I'll see. Thanks.

Here's Caretaker's version [Dos only] as well as Juan Carlos's fix [works outside Dos]. I'll let you know if I find Razox's version anywhere.

Great finding, my man! I almost forgot that Juan Carlos made a conversion of Caretaker's Gambit to work in newer versions of MUGEN. Thanks as always.

Since N_N mentioned that the original version works for DOS MUGEN, I'm 100% sure it's Ver.1-01. About Ver.11-29, I don't know if the author himself converted it for newer versions of MUGEN or if he hosted Juan Carlos' fix on his site.

 

For Razox's version, well, as far as I can tell, I've read before that he was a very early beta, or at least an alpha. So don't really expect that much any of the special moves or supers.
