Naruto Mugen Characters

Many of you people are familiar with mugen games. As for me I plays these games a lot. Of course if it's about one of your favourite anime's you can't simply resist playing it. And it comes to a point that you simply ran out of good characters to play. As the anime progresses you'll be able to find new characters that you can add in to your game which is the best part according to me. To be honest I have a LOW SPEC computer with me and I cannot afford a new one for the matter of time. So I will tell you about mugen and adding characters to your existing game. Okay....I'm not going to make a big deal about adding characters to your game. Because it's really to simple. Believe me! If I can do it then anybody can.

So what is M.U.G.E.N?
M.U.G.E.N is a   freeware 2D fighting game engine developed by Elecbyte. You can get many versions of the game engine from the internet. The coolest part is that you are the one who is going to modify the game to a playable one. Just google mugen and download best fits your eye or you can download "Dragon Ball byRistaR87 -MUGEN Edition" instead. The or option is better if you to do it the want it the easy way. Anyways both are the same. If you download the second one you'll only need to replace the existing characters(dbz characters with the naruto characters that you are going to play with). If the game you downloaded is a .zip or .rar file extract it to your computer. Then open the game folder. You can find folders with names Chars, data, font, plugins, sounds, stages. You might have already guessed that the folder named chars includes the characters of your game. Delete the existing characters inside the folder because we're only focusing on a game with only naruto chars. You don't want a fight between Goku and Naruto..lol. The most important thing to note is that just by copying the characters to the folder named "chars" doesn't make it usable when running the game.WE NEED TO TELL THE GAME ENGINE TO LOOK FOR THE CHARACTER THAT WE COPIED IN TO THE CHARS FOLDER. In order to do that we need to look for a text file named select in the folder named data(select.def). Open it and you'll see something like this:


Uzumaki Future, stages/korin.def;
UzumakiNaruto, stages/rocky_mountain.def;
UzuNaruto, stages/Namek-Destruido.def;
Naruto_Pocket, stages/Kamis_Lookout.def;
twi'SageNaruto, stages/City_Temple.def;
SHSageNaruto, stages/New_Tuffle_Planet.def;
UzumakiNaruto, stages/tufflep.def;


I've pasted a small portion of the contents inside the file. That'll be enough for you to understand the structure.it's as simple as this:
character name,stages/your stage.def

The character name corresponds to the the name of the character folder that you copied in to the chars folder.
You can find characters from Mugencharacters.ucoz.com.download the compressed rar file. Extract it with winzip, 7zip or any other utility to the chars directory.(don't change the folder name of the character) Replace the"character name,stages/your stage.def "with "yourcharacter name,stages/your stage.def"


Example:


The folder name of the character I've downloaded is "sage-naruto"
I need to give the exact name in place of yourcharacter name. For my case it looks like this:

sage-naruto,stages/your stage.def 

That's it. You can download and add as many characters as you want by the same method. Moreover it's really fun creating your own custom game show it off in front of your friends. I will be providing you details of awesome characters from mugen. Stay tuned for updates regarding new characters and changing the menu image and more. Furthermore if you have any difficulties following the instructions, please comment. I will try my best to solve the issues regarding the same :)
