why all the elecbyte hate?

[Tenspeed]

is there something I'm missing here? it seems like people are just locking topics concerning this with no rhyme or reason.

[Mugendude26]

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it because most of the people on IMT don't believe it's the actual Elecbyte?

[Acey]

 

I love Elecbyte, they brought us mugen.

Yup, this will get locked too...just a matter of time. They lock these every time I post in them about my disbelief it's the real elecbyte and to be cautious for some odd reason...it's probably me On that note, now watch it get locked

Not that I care, I find it funny.

[Tenspeed]

eh. I'm not tryin' to make no waves or anything. I just logged in and noticed a bunch of locked topics and didn't know why.

From what I see of the whole Elecbyte thing, it seems like something worth keeping an eye on at least. Then again, I don't go to any other Mugen boards really, so there might be information that I am not aware of to say differently.

[Alexziq]

It gets redundant. I've heard the same arguments over and over for a week now that I didn't care about the 1st day. If it were my forum I'd lock it too so not deal with all the petty bickering.

If Elecbyte comes back with a vastly improved engine we'll all jump for joy. I like the new potential for AI being simplified, but I am not ready to make any long term changes, not yet anyway.

I am just keeping tuned in for now.

[Darkgargos]

Well regardless of whether this new version of Mugen is official or not, it does have potential after they fix it and work on it some more and take people's feedback and suggestions.

[ShotokanTuning]

Well they are already fixing it. A new version has been made available (again).

Even the messenger will be held responsible for his words, for

I'm sure arguing over whether they're legit or not could get very redundant. but why not leave one topic open for it all to go in, as opposed to locking a bunch, so people keep making them to fill the forum?

i tried the mugen100rc2 and from a stage creators point of view is not that cool you cant even see the stages

yeah sometimes you can't see the full stage, probably something to do the new res or problems with in scaling the stages.

You believe what you read, because it's all that they give you. For all of history is written by one of us.

Worst threads are kept open though and not only that there was no reason to really lock them just  "  " cause that was how the last two were locked, with smileys. I mean I had a "argument" over FF VS DOA about Tifa using swords and that was never locked and I believed that was worse than the thread that was locked. I have seen people get warnings and a thread has continued. It is one thing to lock a thread and say "Ok  guys, fake or not the thread is getting out of hand, gotta lock it, another when not 1,but 2 admin use smileys in place of it, nothing of which I have ever seen before on here to lock a thread. It leads to misconceptions on why it was locked. Then someone on here could post on another forum "yea IMT isn't allowing posts   about the new Elecbyte" then someone else from that forum says "yea they're bunch of (insert insult here)" and a mod or admin from here on there sees that and might post to defend and etc.

[Excursion]

There is a reason for everything. If an Administrator locks a thread you can bet your fanny that it is for a darn good reason, not because of any childish game. Sometimes reasons cannot be revealed nor explained at this very moment in time. If folks want to say what they say about us for locking these kinds of threads, fine. It's not like we can ever stop someone anyway. 

[Tenspeed]

I had nothing like that to say, personally. I was simply curious as to the reasoning. If there's some reason that we aren't allowed to know it, then whatever. it's not a big deal to me.

[Slivern]

Elecbyte is truly back.

However...it's not the old team.

Elecbyte is back!

Ten years on... MUGEN's still gaining popularity! There's enough stuff out there that I can literally sink an entire evening clicking around Nicodou and YouTube. It's tremendous to see how many characters, stages, motifs and entire innovative games continue to appear on the platform. I still occasionally get surprised at what people can hack out of an engine that was originally designed to match the capabilities from 2D fighters of the mid '90s.

I find it cool that the word "MUGEN" has come to become synonymous with the notion of implausible matchups and wacky team combinations. At the same time, MUGEN has also become a new kind of platform for exhibiting art. Fan art can be brought to life in an environment where it can instantly interact seamlessly with hundreds of existing characters. Going beyond art and animation, original works can express themselves by bending (or wrangling) the basic rules of the engine.

Looking back, it's a shame that the MUGEN engine project itself has been stalled for ages. Unfortunately it's tough for a scattered group to maintain a complex open-spec engine without making it your job. So a couple of us decided to do just that. Now, Elecbyte is back as a lean full-time studio, and of course we've made dusting off MUGEN our first project. So yeah, thanks to everyone else from the old team for letting us take over the name and the IP. And thanks to all our users who collectively gave the MUGEN scene a life of its own. When Skynet declares war on mankind, it may be animated sprites that come to exterminate us.

Look for a new official M.U.G.E.N release with a few modern upgrades coming your way soon.

I hope this helps. The bold indicates proof that it isn't the old Elecbyte team.

Gold star for Slivern.

@Tenspeed: It really isn't a big deal, to be honest. Unfortunately, we cannot share our reasons behind our comments (we aren't in the position to do publicly), so you'll have to excuse us. However, I do share the same feelings as everyone and wish the best of luck to the new "Elecbyte" as they bring mugen from the dead and overcome the oder versions' limitations   

[MuηkyMØÜf]

Elecbyte is gone. Thank them for their contribution. Be appreciative of what we have now and leave it at that.

IF they do officially come back

That is what I said on another topic about elecbyte
it IS the old team but with new members...

and in MY opinion you should at least have people have their say in it, instead of locking every thread about it because you disagree that they are back and keeping it at that.

In MY opinion anyways...

[DARKTALBAIN]

Threads were locked, mostly because of the bickering at times. We don't really need to bicker about this. Just enjoy what they have brought us

works for me. thanks for explaining it to me.

[Darkgargos]

So in the end it really isn't the original team, they got bought out so to speak or some folks got in touch with them and made some deal and formed a new team and got rights to the license and source code. Well at any rate, let's hope they can improve the engine and maybe this will breath new life into Mugen.
