how to make an older version character playable for mugen 1.0

The first step is telling us what's wrong with it. It should work, and does in 95% of characters. (okay more like 99%, I've only seen about 10 that don't work, and those were just bad coding, and could be fixed.)

Most issues I have seen is from the use of z axis values. Everyone knows what the x and y axis is and the old mugen also had the ability to program on the z axis, kind of like 3d. No one really got much good use out of it and most everyone just left out the z axis value on their characters but anyone who had it there, even just the number 0, well that will not work in mugen 1.0.
