D37 2-on-1 Ogre Mugen - Vs The Evil Duo ("Late" Halloween Special)

God damn... not only was this fight my nightmare to face, but the process in recording/creating this video was also a huge contribution to a distressful endeavor. Before I talk about what I mean by that, let's first go into the fight itself.

So it's Halloween night and I had a few highly challenging match-ups in mind to put out for this day, but I ended up going with fighting against Reu's Evil Duo in a 2-on-1 battle. Like stated before, this is truly a nightmarish match-up for even the most skilled Mugen players, which I'm no exception towards.

Evil Ryu & Evil Ken are some of the most widely known Mugen creations available, and they are also some of the toughest shotoclones to contend with. Ryu is more focused on evasive approach, opportune counterattacks and massive aerial juggling to defeat his opponents, while Ken is much more swift & offensive in his tactics, where he'll always employ an "attack first, defense second" rule.

Individually, they are a force to be reckoned with, armed with super-cancels, invincibility frames flowing out of their ears and beastly-coded AI. However, as a duo... well, it's whole different ballpark of difficulty there, comparable to my battle with Hyper Broli (just in my opinion, but Broli was still just a smidge tougher).

With this in mind, I would have really liked to have made this as one of my best Mugen battle videos, but due to some strange occurrences that popped up with my Mugen during recording, it just didn't happen the way I pictured it. What I was talking about earlier in the description was that for reasons that I can't comprehend, my Mugen has begun to freeze randomly at around five to ten minutes of gameplay without warning, ruining most of my recordings.

Because of this, I got fed up & had to defeat the Evil Duo less surgically and more quickly, which meant far less combo variability (Drill Special spamming was meh, I know -_-), which again leads to a less enjoyable fight, and I feel that this video had definitely suffered for that. But since I really wanted to get this match-up up for Halloween, I guess it's going to have to do as is for now, at least until I can figure out what's causing the freeze glitch, then I may remake this video.

*sigh* Anyway, sorry for rambling, as usual. I still hope you'll enjoy the video special, even though it's a little slow on a lot of parts in comparison to my other videos, but there are several parts that required a lot of precision & timing, as well (the parry-chains displayed in both rounds took around 95% skill, for instance xD).

Had the Life setting set to 300% here, but I've also doubled Evil Ryu & Evil Ken's Life to 2200 in their CNS files to ensure that the team handicap built in Mugen is eliminated entirely, so there won't be an advantage at all for me here in terms of dealing damage.

Forgot to ask.. Is that the CvS drill?

[Drednot37]

Indeed it is. I'm attempting to convert Ogre's sprites to greater-detailed ones whenever it looks like they'll be a nice improvement, but not get too graphic-whoresy about it at the same time since it should be more focused on gameplay. xD

Yo Dred, do you use Hi-Res Mugen or Regular Mugen? Because that Stage looks Hi-Res to me dude. And I know you got a new computer but still sometimes Mugen sucks at running well, especially in Vista...

I have a theory that maybe if it is Hi-Res mugen that causes the freezing...OR that those 3 characters involve having so many helpers at once that Mugen can't take it. I suggest changing the HelperMax in mugen.cfg for better results...but more loading time, which sucks =/

[Drednot37]

I do use Mugen Plus, which is like a hybrid of regular/hi-res Mugen, but most of the features of my screenpack takes advantage of the hi-res elements.

Been using the same setup for two months now, but the freezing issue began popping up two weeks ago, around the time I was recording this video. I've tried changing settings in my Mugen files, including the HelperMax variable, but the problem persists even with normal fights.

Hate to say it, but I may just have to redo my whole Mugen to fix it.

How do you record Mugen fights?

[alexandre8448]

there is a really tough cookie to crumble in my roster, sakuya brando (based on dio brando with hard boiled ai) try her golden palette, its unstoppable.
