Darkflare

Absolutely the fuck not. Not unless Archive gets new management to run their ship. Archives higher-ups do nothing but spew venom at everyone that remotely even disagrees with them even going as far as banning anyone that does so. I'm pretty sure they were the ones that told their members to constantly harass the other discords.
 
As long as individuals like Dizzy and Sol mantain a high rank position, Archive is better off remaining blacklisted as a principle.

Though Flare was focused on watching the battle unfold, he could still sense Melina's presence.

Are you seriously expecting to there be plenty of authors making Disney characters of all things? Mugen for the most part attracts people interested in fighting games meaning authors will most likely create a character from a fighting game they like before anything else and there are a lot of fighting game choices out there. Cartoons in general(Especially western cartoons) just aren't very high in the list of interest of characters to make for Mugen. Really, the ones who have the most interest for them happen to be kids that just half ass their way in creating them.

That's how you can call it terrible.

Let's start from square 1. Judgespear. The most probable main reason for his popularity was because he was one of the first to use Warner's Homer in a Mugen video. Of course, the idea of Homer taking on the likes of Ryu and co. was silly, but it's the idea that people liked. JS would later make a group called Team SMRT to update that Homer(Spoilers: It wasn't that much better from the original version and the original version had it's share of serious flaws). They would later do the same for Warner's Peter and Giant chicken when they got released(Same results as Homer [There was also an edit to a Johnny Maximum but I think that was a solo JS thing]). People from this era will remember JS's Peter vs. Sakura video for appearing in G4TV's Attack of the show as a MvC1 hack with Peter Griffin.
 
Did JS pioneer the way for Mugen videos on YT? Honestly no. There were others who also did Mugen videos at the time, he wasn't even the first. JS just happened to be the most noteworthy one of them all.
 
Mugen teams
 
The short version is that these were the a person's current rotation of characters that he would most likely use in a Mugen video. The long version is that people used these teams as a way to express their individuality and style. I don't know what the first Mugen team was but it certainly took off and you saw it very prominently among the YT Mugen community. It also made for another storytelling method as people would use them to tell their adventures as an excuse for certain Mugen fights. Nowadays, there are only very few of these teams left.
 
Everyone hates, cheapie busters, etc.
 
People hate broken shit. Simple as that. Criticism was much harsher back in the day. And their way was to...well....do this. It's not done so much anymore because we realized this was stupid.
 
The criticism
 
I look at that thread link you posted.and I don't see what it has to do with this. But I will mention that back in the day, accuracy to source was pretty much everything. But this was due to the stigma from most custom creations being really bad like......like current day PotS style. So really nothing has changed, it's just not as vocal.
 
Uh no, a character being broken does in fact mean it isn't well made. As cool as Reu's evil duo looked, they were broken for the wrong reasons. His Dragon Claw is the only one I can consider well made if you treat him like a boss character. AI has nothing to do with it. I've seen well made characters with strong AI and poorly done ones with weak AI.
 
The Drama
 
Ah yes, drama. Let's be honest, no matter the era, there will always be drama. That Haruhi you mentioned did become busted in later updates adding unnecessary stuff and ultimately becoming a fetish character. I do remember a certain someone being offended when their Waifu got beaten, which was really stupid and made him an easy target to spite.
 
Yea, the drama was ridiculous but when is drama not ridiculous? Honestly, JS says that's the reason he left, but I think it was because he got dragged into it and became part of the drama as well. The other reason could be that he was looking for a way out of Mugen to focus on his fan games and he found it this way.
 
Conclusion
 
The era shouldn't be forgotten. We can't pretend it didn't happen. It wasn't all bad, there were some good moments that came from it and some of the stuff is still used now. Heck, I dare say it also produced the best YT Mugen videos. There was more variety in character usage and it's just more exciting to see a human player overcome the odds. Most videos now are just cookie cutter Capcom and SNK characters in AI battles.

Rival Schools lifebar. Forgot who made them though.

There's still DLC guys. She could still show up in Season 2.

Nice try, but...
- I have my own account in guild seperate from Iced's on account that I'm not Iced.
- I don't make it a habit to talk about Guild in other forums nor do I blindly make accusations to make it look good.
- Guild doesn't make any profit from what they do. There is no pie to take even among their staff which btw, I am not.
 
That's cute trying to use my own words against me. All you did was prove me right that you're desperate.

He uses sprites from Mugen characters.

Way too many to list. Different characters are made by different authors.
 
Try these.

I can't answer that without being certain

Except that Guild doesn't give a shit about MFFA and vice versa. The two just happen to agree that adfly is dangerous and Mugen Archive should be ashamed for using it.
 
Also, you calling us Guild lackeys? So what makes you not a lackey of Mugen Archive? All of your posts have been about rallying people for your cause to slander Guild and make Archive look good. Given your desperation, I would say either you're Dizzy, a dumb fanboy or expecting a piece of the Archive's pie for your dedication.

I give him a week before he's banned again.

All right, I think a few things need to be carefully reconsidered.
 
Shinto is possibly the best groove right now mainly because the bombs are gold bursts. You have to remember that in GG and P4A, Gold bursting used the Burst gauge which you only had one and it filled at a fairly slow pace. Not to mention that your super meter reset to 0 in the next round. I'm assuming meter carries over in I0, not to mention the fact that you can carry 3 bombs which gives you plenty of chances to gold burst. In fact, a viable strategy would be to land a bnb into gold burst, activate SCD mode, spam super and then land another bnb into burst when the mode ended. I would take a look at MB's Heat mode/UNIEL's Veil off to have an idea on how to properly do SCD mode
 
Buddhism seems lacking to me. The only thing it provides are Alpha counters and Just defend. Just defend could be good if it also reduces block stun, but even then, I feel the other two grooves provide better tools.
 
Taoism I feel has the problem that it's main gimmick of being able to Roman cancel will be too limited. Sure, RCs are really powerful but with only 2 bombs and no idea how fast they regenerate, you potentially run the risk of barely being able to RC much. Personally, I think the speed focus could be better represented with Custom Combos instead of RC.
 
Atheist groove should totally be a thing.

There are better ways to balance a character to make them more viable against stronger characters.
 
Infinites aren't fun.

You're a goddamn fool. And that's putting it nicely.
 
Archive being visited more means Guild is going to get killed? Definitely won't go to you for your analytical skills considering you lack them.
 
As has been said, people only go to archive just to upload random shit for the sake of downloading a character they want. Truth is that the people you see in Mugen forums are in the minority among the community. The majority only care about downloading as many characters as they can and building a "collection". So naturally, archive would have more visitors.
 
In terms of having an actual community, Guild has Archive beaten by miles.
 
And the fact that you claim that Guild started the drama proves further that you lack analytical skills and that you're a white knight for Archive.
