Good Tools for someone getting started.

I recently developed an interest in creating my own mugen characters.  I have only been into mugen for a few months and have really enjoyed a lot of the characters that I have come across and I want to give back to this community.  However I am at a loss as to what I should use to make some of the character ideas I have.  Can someone tell me which tools that some of the designers around here use, and where can I get them.  I know this will be a lot of work but I am hoping that it will be worth it.

You will need a program to edit sprites like paint shop pro or any other image editor program. thats for the sprites, and to start creating the char you could use fighter factory (there is a link on the forum)

Ok I have both Paintshop and photoshop.  Now does fighter factory help with any of the coding as far as specials, supers, and hypers are concerned?

Yeah it does mostly.You just need tutorials on youtube to tell you how to do everything.

Great, I grabbed Fighter Factory and have basic sprites to work with.  So I will check out those tutorials and get started.  For my first I was really considering doing Flash Man from Mega Man 2 Marvel vs Capcom Style.  Only mine would make effective use of his time stopper, but I won't have that make him a cheap character.  I already have ideas in mine for supers and hypers too.  Hopefully with all the help I have been getting from the community he will turn out great.
