All Mugen Characters [updated] -
This is where MUGEN justifies its existence. Because any sprite can be coded into a fighter, the library includes:
Most fresh installations of M.U.G.E.N come with a very limited roster meant for testing: Kung Fu Man all mugen characters
Ultimately, to contemplate all MUGEN characters is to gaze into a funhouse mirror reflecting the fighting game genre itself. It reveals our deepest desires as players: the wish for Goku to finally beat Superman, the nostalgic need to preserve a forgotten arcade sprite, the perverse joy of unleashing an unbeatable monster, and the simple, silly pleasure of watching two absurdities punch each other. MUGEN is the only fighting game where the concept of a "tier list" is meaningless, where "balance" is an optional mod, and where the roster is never complete. All MUGEN characters, in their infinite and unfinished totality, represent the ultimate expression of fandom: a collective, chaotic, passionate, and never-ending argument about who would win in a fight.

They are not meant to be fought; they are meant to be endured, a form of digital penance that tests the limits of the engine and the player’s patience.
The beauty of MUGEN is that "all characters" is a moving target. Every day, a new creator finishes a sprite sheet or codes a new special move. Whether you want to recreate the perfection of Capcom vs. SNK 2 or you want to see Homer Simpson fight a literal God, MUGEN provides the tools to make it happen.
