SN: Sorry for the long wait, everyone. I was trying to bring some other videos, before hosting Chun-Li Fan’s third and last one as we’re heading closer towards Christmas, which begins in six days. Also, I’ve been playing Fortnite to catch up with the Battle Pass pages to earn rewards; including the Survivor Medals (especially the Mythic & its challenges are hell: earn a Victory Royale w/ 10 eliminations - 10x).

We will begin the Christmas Specials, once Chun-Fan has his/her third request after two videos. Stay tuned for more and let’s go ahead and start celebrating this month of December as we’re heading for 2024.

“This MUGEN pick isn’t just for show!” Wow! I would be surprised if anyone didn’t get that reference as I first mentioned it from NICK54222’s 2 in 1 MUGEN Birthday Special video. It’s a famous Gundam trope phrase that Amuro Ray says to Char about his Nu Gundam wasn’t created to be amused or to be any form of entertainment from the OVA of “Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack” aka “Kidō Senshi Gandamu: Gyakushū no Shā (機動戦士ガンダム 逆襲のシャア)” that was created and released in 1988.

Hello and surprise, everyone! Here’s a single match of with the two iconic legendary Newtypes in Yoshiyuki Tomino’s founding Sci-fi man fighting mecha hit, “Mobile Suit Gundam (機動戦士ガンダム,Kidō Senshi Gandamu) aka First Gundam, Gundam 0079 or just Gundam ’79”: Amuro Ray (アムロ・レイ Amuro Rei?) in his RX-93 ν Gundam and Char Aznable (シャア・アズナブル Shaa Azunaburu?), orginally born Casval Rem Deikun (キャスバル・レム・ダイクン Kyasubaru Remu Daikun? in his MSN-04 Sazabi, picked by me.

Originally, this was going to be a single AI fight with using the Beltorchika’s Children version of Amuro's RX-93-ν2 Hi-ν Gundam (RX-93-ν2 Hi-νガンダム) & Char’s MSN-04 II Nightingale (MSN-04II ナイチンゲール?). Since I like the novel and the manga of Char’s Counterattack better. In addition, Hathaway & Quess’s own characteristics & personal lives are more understandable and somewhat likable than the way how the OVA shows them.

Anyway, I watched a character demonstration video of Amuro’s Hi Nu Gundam by 961000 from Niconico website and I loved it, including the character designs and how he played, so I downloaded him from MA and also downloaded Char’s Nightingale by STG as well.

Looking for a suitable space battle stage and found one in HR for 1.1 by Hermit and also searching a battle music for its theme (especially that it would suit with kind of instruments that the composers did for Tomino’s work of art). I found one of the soundtracks from Darius Gaiden arcade called “AXON” that definitely sounds suitable between Amuro & Char’s bitter conflict with each other.

Using Coello “ Sanguis Sacirs” Joseph’s StarForged Mugen screenpack, but had to make some modification to it. It looks real nice, but lacked music for the title, character select, versus and victory result. So I burrowed a couple music from Old Gamer’s “Red Mugen Archive Screenpack.” In addition to its default lifebar “En-Eins Perfektewelt HD Lifebars,” which I already used it for the 6th Valentine’s Day Special. Had to find a different lifebar and found one called “Neon Lifebars” by necro_rk.

I first tried it out and the Mugen suffered a character loading error (The Hi Nu Gundam was the one that made the game crashed) At first, I don’t know how something like this happens? The error told me that it can’t access “[StateDef ë:DBO Seal? | Explod Expansion Pack Execution | init.d HvH]” and “Character mugenversion is older than this version of M.U.G.E.N. with "Error loading chars/Hi-nu_gundam_RF/Hi-nu_gundam_RF.def & Error loading p1."

I’ve tried to convert to 1.0 with the help of Fighter Factory 3 and gave it another go and it gave me another error, only this time with the “Explod Expansion Pack” Apparently this Gundam character only works for older version, such as Winmugen & Winmugen Plus (and that really sucks…. 😑 *head shakes* ).

After many attempts; especially searching on the web and finding videos on how to convert Winmugen characters into 1.0 or 1.1. Frustrated and disappointed with the useless effort that I completely gave up on Hi Nu Gundam and decided to settle with the regular Nu Gundam from the OVA of CCA, made by STG.
