Search results came up completely empty, and I think this is big enough for it's own thread, sssooo....

M.U.G.E.N.

Bascially, it's this Fighting Game Engine, like Mortal Combat or something, that was originally developed by Elecbyte.
Something didn't go right {I can't remember if they said anything or not}, and the Engine's still in a Beta stage, two years after the first Beta release...
Luckily, some people picked it up and kept it alive, and it's grown ever since.
It was originally designed with this really cool idea:
Anyone and everyone made their own original characters, using MUGEN's formats. That includes looks, sounds, fighting styles, special attacks, and a lot more, if you're creative enough.
A lot of people didn't take this to heart, and so 70% or so of all of the MUGEN characters out there {and that's a lot, as I've never found one site with them all} are characters from other games, shows, or something, redone for MUGEN.

Now, take a bit to think of what this means...

Yeah.
Homer Simpson VS Peter Griffion {They even have a special intro for when the two fight each other}
Mario Mario VS Megaman
Super Buu
VS Alien Warrior
Link
VS Abyss
SandBag
VS Arthur {From Ghosts and Ghouls}
Mouse Cursor
VS Master Hand
Killer Whale
VS Mickey Mouse
Rayman
VS Sonic
Tron Bonne
VS Sasuke
Omega {Final Fantasy}
VS Luigi Mario
ETC, I think you get the point.
And these are just a few characters from my measly database, which is really small......I'm still looking for more and more characters.

Here are some links to help get you guys started:
MUGENation {Half the place is in spanish or something, and links all the downloads to the original maker's sites, so half the stuff doesn't work anymore....}
MUGEN-Infantry {I just now found this place, so I can't give a warning or anything about it}
MUGEN {You're going to need the original Beta thing, right?}
Hey, I found some neat tutorials!! Even for things I didn't know could be fixed :D
Here's a better solution to fixing the skittery music problem.

The rest is easy to find with Google, but be warned, this requires a lot of work just to play.
After you get the original bit up and running, a smart thing to do is find a Skin to put over it. Skins not only make everything look cooler, but also make things a bit easier when playing, and sometimes even allow more character slots {There's one with like 1000 slots, if I remember right}
Then, for each character and stage you get, you have to manualing put them into MUGEN. For this, you can figure it out just by reading the MUGEN files, but if a lot of people are having a hard time doing it, I guess I could put up examples...
Stages also come in two parts, don't forget to set their music and have it in the Sound Folder...

I also recommend a 6 button contoller, as it makes standard specials a lot easier.

Anyways, if anyone finds and special and rare characters {Like Kamek, I think his author all but removed him...}, or awesome sites for MUGEN, please post the links here! ^.^
It's kinda hard to find the best characters.
Which reminds me, since all of the characters for MUGEN {'cept Kung-fu-man, of course} were all made by different people, their balances all differ, so you'll either have to fix them yourself, or just exclude the cheapest of the cheap.

And, since I haven't really figured out how the MUGEN Editor works yet, and this is the Cave Story Tribute Forums, is anyone interested in creating Cave Story characters for MUGEN? :D
The biggest problem, of course, would be sprites. {There's no way in hell we could get away with the original Cave Story sprites..}
And sound, unless we want them to be mute. =D

Anyways, Enjoy! {Holy crap, this took so long to write that it signed me out...}

EDIT:
Ok, some examples...
Godzilla and King Gihdorah team up to take down Giga Bowser


Jesus takes on God

Prinny throw down, dood!!

Yeah. It's like the first you tube result if you type in
"Sue Sakamoto" or "Cave Story Mugen" on google.

Misery is a fully made mugen character, but Sue is not really.
Sue doesn't attack at all, and a character from Rainbow Six (Some FPS game)
is the "Guardian" of Sue. It's hard to describe, but you really play as a mercenary from Rainbow Six
other than the Pixelated character herself. So really, Sue is a "Shits and giggles" character.

Ugh, that was really stupid...But at least Misery looked like a full character...
{At least that wasn't as bad as the WEEGEE one..}
So, are there no Curly Brace or Quote characters for MUGEN? I didn't get any thing Cave Story wise for MUGEN besides Sue and Misery...

Nope. Just only Misery and Sue.
..Sadly.

I bet we could make some Cave Story MUGEN Characters, then!
...Just...who wants to do the sprites? :D

Anyways, found something that looks far more promising than everything else.....
MUGEN Wiki - The MUGEN Wiki page
Looks to be chalk full of characters and stages ^.^
And possible tutorials...

EDIT:
Oh hey!!
Does anyone know if Dizor is still around?

Creating M.U.G.E.N Chars is freaking hard.
You will most likely fail at it and it's going to suck... just like Sue.

How supportive =D
But yeah, I know what you mean.
I'm having a hard time just getting the editor to read any sprites...

I was hoping someone here might have had experience with the editor, before...

I'am sorry for being rude.
It's just: Many tried many failed.
Try to contact Dizor and you will make it (I hope)

If you have something to show off, I would be happy :p

Okay, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the Jesus vs. God is NOT Mugen. It's actually a flash game from adultswim. Bible Fight or something?

Those prinnies were just f*ckin' great, though.

The sprites could've been from the flash game, but that was all MUGEN.
I've got Jesus as one of my characters, now :p

Hold on, now..

Just to clear up any further questions:
Yes, yes, there's a flash game called Bible Fight, but that video's of MUGEN.
Notice at the intro of the video, it shows all of those characters? That's a MUGEN Screenpack. {I also call them skins, but meh}
And the video says "MUGEN bible fight".

The sprites, moves, and such were probably ripped from the flash game and made into MUGEN characters. That's how 70% or so of the MUGEN characters are.
Rest assured, that video is MUGEN, not a flash game.

Also, one of the links on the first post, I think the MUGEN-Wiki, has the Jesus character. That's how I found the video :p

Ugh, I wish...
At least 50% of my MUGEN character's files are in Japanese, and almost all of them talk in Japanese...
Pretty frustrating, when some of the funny characters I've got {like Don Patch or Prinny} are always talking, but I can never figure out what they're saying T.T

I actually meant so we could get Misery's file off the Nijikaku character site. As far as I have read, the Misery character should be compatible.

Link!

Chances are you'll get a 403 error. I, however, don't, and I don't know why.

Yeap, 403.
However, I know how to translate that page for you, :D
GOOGLE!!!
Yeah, I'm serious.
It's how I find all of my MUGEN characters in Japanese websites, and it's worked out well so far.
Just copy the website's address, go to google, paste the address and search.
Make sure you hit the translate button when the link comes up.

I tried. Google let me into the website, too. There's just so much text on the page that it froze my browser trying to translate.

Plus, I'm still a bit trippy from that dream I had last night.

Alrighty then, could you give us the website's full address, instead of a link?
I could try and Google it, =D
