MUGEN DISCUSSION: What’s Your Current MUGEN Setup in 2026?

[yoonbin16 (mikazuki)]

Hey everyone, yes I'll be moving and starting my discussions here!

I wanted to start a simple discussion.

What does your current MUGEN setup look like these days?

Feel free to post screenshots of:

• Your screenpack
• Character select screen
• Favorite stage + character combo
• Or anything else you like about your setup

I’m curious what everyone is using and what looks good to you.

I’ll post mine a bit later too once it's on my channel c:

What are you running right now?

This is my select in WinMUGEN. It may look small but due to the amount of icons, its far from that.

This roster on first start takes a couple minutes to load. I don't put my MUGEN on a SSD but rather a HDD, so the loading times overall will be slightly slower but its still relatively fast given the amount of space in total the characters effectively consume.

Its nothing like Stargazer's roster of almost 3000 characters in a 1.0 MUGEN, but its certainly up there. I just recently added Forte.EXE to my roster which is a obscure-ish god edit that's literally tiny in file size.

i use the coruscation screenpack on 1.1b
80% of my roster is MEME characters

favorite stage is SMB kusamochi

Here is my roster, and it can hold up to 456,890 characters. Each one of the boxes holds 1,000 characters, WITH a Lua coding mod by me without the slowdown.

actually really nice! also nice screenpack design, ngl it looks really cool

 

[lhadias]

decent enough

i was originaly going to make an undertale fighting game but there weren't many good UT/DR characters in MUGEN.
(There are more versions of Mario, Luigi, Kirby, Meta Knight, SMG4 and Daniel hidden in the slots.)

UT/DR: How many are in total?

That is more than enough to recreate for the new Ikemen GO game and create a cool crossover screen pack. Using the new nightly build of Ikemen 1.0, the crazy thing is you can code it to work like a real functional fighting game. so that work perfectly

I had updated my New Screen Pack with more characters, but this time I lowered the number of characters, so instead of 456,890 characters. I reduces it only 5000 for each box per character slot lua coding.

these were my roster but I lost everything... I want to build another one ; Do you have some suggestion?

Simple, start off with what you can remember. With your setup I recommend an eve edit of around 2k characters going off the image. You can also nab characters you like from other people's collections too heck I don't mind people nabbing from mine lol

Alright, thank you; I will work on it slowly

Using an ikemen0.99 conversion of the Mugen Mix pack on my current "main" build, just to simulate a self-contained custom arcade type experience. I'd sadly lost my old 1.0 build with like 700ish chars, most of which were goofy shotoclones, Kula edits, and assorted Gokus lol. The few op chars I have are in shared slots alongside the other alt versions
