What are your top 5 fullgames?

[JaaShooUhh]

I am curious, what is everyone's TOP 5 fullgames for MUGEN / IKEMEN... whether they be ORIGINAL, a COMPILATION, or a REMIX, what fullgames have more or less earned a place at the top for you to consider being worth playing?

1. Card Sagas Wars
Now, not many MUGEN games truly hold a special place in my heart (mainly because most of them are just a mish-mash of random creators), but this game just feels like something that if it was released on Steam, I would have gladly paid like $50 for without question.

 

The spritework is incredible, the stages are beautiful, the music is memorable, and it just overall feels like a refreshing experience. Sadly, it was more or less abandoned, so it has been left in an incomplete state.

 

2. Metal Slug: Steel Warriors
I like Metal Slug okay... sheesh, I totally do not obsess over this franchise and I totally did not put over $100 into the mobile games. But in all seriousness, its a fucking Metal Slug fighting game, like how is that not the coolest shit ever?

 

LIKE... HAVE YOU NOT SEEN METAL SLUG? It is without a doubt, the most beautiful and artistic sprite based game ever made, and will ever be made. The animations are so smooth, the stages are incredible, the music is amazing, and just... everything about it is perfect, anyone who says otherwise is a liar.

 

3. Babel Sword
Now, unlike most MUGEN games, this one is just... bizarre. Not in the sense of it being weird or even bad, just that it functions in such a very specific way, that all of its characters are incompatible with any other MUGEN game.

 

That said, its essentially an airborne fighter, with a wide variety of characters. I doubt many people even remember it anymore, since its been dead for a while now.

 

4. Fatal Art / KNOCKOUT! (all of them + spin-offs)
Look, I am a big fan of Hyun's Dojo and StickPage, always was a fanboy of stickman fighting animations. These games just really fill in that gap. Sadly, they are missing the characters I want to play as, but nonetheless, the work is beautiful, and I've put in so many hours into actually practicing these.

 

5. S.H.A.D.E.S. of Manhattan (all of them)
Look, I'll be honest... I have a deep level of respect for Sean Altly, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't play his games obsessively for the longest time. Regardless, the spritework is great, the music is awesome, the story is solid, and the characters are interesting... what more can you ask for?

Capcom vs The World 

This was a really solid fullgame back in the day. One of my personal fav's 

 

Melty Blood Mugen

Felt like a proper Melty Blood game. Lots of Stages and characters.

 

SF2 NES

Loved the custom characters like Terry Bogaurd. The stages and character sprites were all custom jobs. Another classic banger from my late teenage years.

 

Alien vs Predator M.U.G.E.N

Just a sucker for the AVP arcade game and the AVP series in general. This fullgame really scratched an itch for me.

 

KOF Zillion

Pretty interesting fullgame with alot of characters. Hard as hell, but honestly what SNK KOF game isn't? SNK boss syndrome is a real term.

 

Nijikaku Mugen 

I love Japanese memes and art style. This game has ALOT of interesting characters with various artstyles and series the characters are from. More of a weeb thing I guess but i'm a big fan of it.

I've played so many that I can't remember all of them but I'll say Classic VS, Mortal Kombat Project New Era, Famicom Fighters, Hyper Dragon Ball Z and there was this KOF fullgame that I can't remember but I think the creator is chinese since I've got the fullgame from a chinese website.
