AI LEVEL: Easy to Medium

An obscure character from Knuckle Fighter X (a predecessor of MUGEN, circa 1997) converted to MUGEN way back in 2003-2004. He is a fusion of Mario and Haggar, which is even stranger than it sounds, but it works. There is a little jank here and there (mainly the stray KFM leftover sprites), but it was a fun character with a good variety of moves.

Keep in mind there are even weirder characters (and by extention, stages, such as what looks like an entire farm of Angry Suns!) in this alternative to MUGEN that have yet to be converted (some which range from a badly drawn Mega Man to a photorealistic hand). While on the subject of alternatives, did you know there's an X68000 equivalent known as SFXVI? It also has a wealth of strange and unique characters, some even from recent games like Amazon's Running Diet and Brief Karate Foolish.

It also forced me to varset to 55 since 59 was already occupied by another variable. Keep in mind the engine was still very young back then, so some sort of unofficial but universal standard wasn't in effect yet. Another weird thing about this character is that his supers are tied to a completely different meter that is independent of MUGEN itself.
