do i need mugen to edit the chara that i have downloaded or can i use another program for editing

 

i am trying to create a 2d game like final fight and would appreciate any information.

You only use Mugen to play with and test your characters.

You edit the cfg, air, cns, def, and cmd files with a text editor.

You edit the sff file with MEE, sffextract, and/or sprmaker.

You edit the snd with MCM, MEE, ZCharCad, and/or sndmaker.

You edit pals and sprites with photoshop and/or paint shop pro.

I think I remembered all formats

 

As for making a game like Final Fight... you may want to start with the basics first. Take KFM and play with his programming. A Final Fight game will be more difficult as you will have to make it it's own game and not universal like most mugen creations are.

 

My suggestion is to read all the docs and tutorials you can, play around with different characters (especially Kung Fu Man) and go to Mugen forums if you need assistance as you will be bound to get moare help at them.

 

2 great forums to check out are

 

http://mugendev.shinmugen.net/

and

http://www.mugenguild.com/forum/index.php

 

Both have help sections and tutorials.

I myself have a couple of "beatemup" style chars for mugen - for example I have Mad Gear - the mad gear just keep respawning until the top health bar is depleted (they all have their own health-bars as well). I also have the Caddilac from "cadillacs and dinosaurs" but that one's just annoying. So it would be possible, but mugen IS meant for making 2d fighters though.

Yes, making 3D characters is definitly possible, but also definitly tough. And even if you manage to rip the sprites correctly, you'll probably have way too many colors.
