But among the thousands of builds available, one specific niche has captured the imagination of the anime community: the Anime Crossover MUGEN 500 Characters roster.

2. Feature Component A: The "Power Tier" Balancing System

With 500 characters, balance is impossible. Some characters (like Goku or Madara) are "God Tier" (1-hit KO moves), while others (like standard Street Fighter characters) are balanced. The UVS introduces a Tier Filter.

  • How it works:
    • In the character select screen, the player can toggle a "Balanced Mode" filter.
    • Tier S (Gods): Characters with 2000+ HP and 1-hit kills (e.g., Goku UI, Saitama, Madara).
    • Tier A (Powerhouses): Characters with high damage but standard mechanics (e.g., Naruto, Ichigo, Luffy).
    • Tier B (Standard): Balanced characters (e.g., Cowboy Bebop cast, standard Shonen protagonists).
    • Tier C (Challenging): Joke characters or weaklings (e.g., generic thugs, Krillin).
  • Functionality: If "Balanced Mode" is ON, the game automatically normalizes stats. Goku’s damage is nerfed by 50%, while weaker characters receive a buff to HP and Attack, making every match viable.
