What is Ikemen Go? 🤔

[@chazmaru9583]

Pretty sure it’s pronounced イケメン = something like "ee-keh-men" would be a close sound to text transcription for english speakers. イケメン means “handsome guy” in Japanese slang. 無限 means "infinite". I.K.E.M.E.N. is an acronym for 何時までも完成しない永遠に未完成エンジン which roughly translates to "not yet completed engine that will never ever be completed".

[@soundparanoia]

Engine name is kind of a pun by the creator, Suehiro. You can find more jokes in older versions of the engine's source code, which are mostly in the form of variable names. They're being slowly replaced with more functional identifiers.

Amazing video, it was very informative, but I can't quite get a grip on everything that is happening in my head. Still kinda in shock lol From one of your students, me, wishing you the best of luck and I will always be grateful for your help. ❤ Also, I am too used to fading things myself to use interpolation blend.

[@joshuazhao]

masterfu here, from the time so far playing with IKEMEN, I found the feature most useful is the ability to add multipe characters in one slot, so you can switch between different version of a character. You might remember me complaining to you about after an AI patch, the AI would not let me have control of a specific character. Well, IKEMEN Go didn't fix that, but with the multiple character in one slot feature, it is a workaround for this issue, all I need to do is having two copies of the same character, one with the AI patch, and add both into one slot, and then take the unpatched character out of the AI selection pool for both arcade and survival, so now whenever I face the character, it is the challenging AI patched version, instead of the dumb default AI version. What I do wish is having some sort of deep learning AI feature, it learns how I play a specific character, and then builds on it, as well as analyzing a specific character's movesets, in time, the engine self-develops an AI for a character. This would be good for those old characters that never had an AI patch due to them being rare or unknown to the community. I had tried some Tagin and TagOut commands, some of the older characters is buggy with this function, once you switch over a character, the character will freeze in place, and become unplayable, and your opponent won't be able to hit you as well. I tried this with a tag team of touhou Mokou and White Len, while White Len can switch to Mokou fine, switching from Mokou back to White Len will freeze White Len in place. IKEMEN Go also has a discord server

[@SebastianVazquezFerrero]

What you are asking for is literally in development... For IKEMEN Go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKG8qpmLpNiXfdE Tag is very complex to support out of the box for every char, some will have to be edited.

Sure, i could mess around with Ikimen by myself, but i don't want to, because i didn't even mastered mugen. I know things about it, but i never fully edited it and never made, like, some cool game or something. Like, i made a little stuff, like recently i made a Street Fighter 2 on mugen. But i didn't done anything crazy. I just took existing screenpack, different characters, stages and music and put them all together, configured things and called it a day.

[@RyonMugen]

You can not have a tag team of more than 4. 4 is the max. Even if you mess with the files it caps at 4 v 4. 2. You need to find a screenpack for your ikemen go, or learned how to make your own which I do have a video of. Or you could always just increase the slots
