Grudge Match: Namor vs Aquaman

I've always wondered who would win in a fight: Aquaman vs Namor. There is a great article on such a scenario: CBUB Fights: Aquaman vs. The Sub-Mariner. As far as my opinion, I think Namor will beat Aquaman into chum. I mean Namor can fly and has super strength. Aquaman can't touch him. Here is a fight in MUGEN.

CVG United's Christmas Event, Day 2

What a great start to our event yesterday. Even though he is an early beta version, Hercules is proving to be very popular. Really looking forward to what the future has in store for him. aa250 already did a great update on Magneto before, but this latest version is even better. And that was a great video preview by Spooky of his new Superman WIP. Also, deanjo2000's WIPs really look great and there is a definite interest by all here. Finally, Jor El's update to the Green Lantern stage, Ground Zero really made it a whole lot better. See whats going on today below and to discuss all this, take the following topic link:
A CVG Christmas, Day 2

Back during our Preview Week event, we were fortunate enough for Topper to agree to include this great looking character into the Crisis in the Mugen Multiverse project. Today he is making the official WIP topic for her here while showing off an amazing animation. This is coupled with news concerned help from Trexrell and Yin will happen. Check it all out at:
Hawkgirl formally announced for the Crisis project!

Now announcing the latest WIP by the team bringing you Vixen, real life couple Trexrell and Yin...Tomb Raider, Lara Croft. Yin has done most of the early work so far, but expect her to get some help and for Lara to be refined in much the same way Vixen progressed. And so you know, when you take the discussion link on her, you will see a preview of a special move to expect. In a project that includes an emphasis on video game icons, she is sure to fit right in.

So Team CVG has noticed lately a lot of our general forum members dabbling with creation a little bit. In an effort to provide some of you with a possible direction in that regard, we are here to announce a new forum WIP. Basically, forum members will get together and work on whoever. The pics above are just a few of the options to vote on. Click one of the images or take this link to see the rest and to make your voice heard on who you should work on:
Forum WIP Announcement

As many of you are aware, Zvitor kicked off the holiday season with a massive update to his Aquaman. Well, special thanks to him for allowing him to not only now be hosted here, but also be used in the Crisis project. But that is not all added to our download section. A new forum member, Girlfriend's Lil bro posted a couple really nice looking Hi-Res stages not long ago. We were fortunate enough for him to allow us to host those as well. Download Aquaman by clicking his image, but to discuss all this and find the GLB stage download locations, click the image of them above or follow this link:

Zvitor releases Aquaman v1.5

The first release of the holiday season is here with Zvitor releasing a new version of his very first character, Aquaman. Improved sprites, altered gameplay and everything Zvitor has learned since v1.0 all put into him.

Note from Zvitor about the release:

"Return of the King!!!
My char #1, the first big update from my first char, i didnt made the 'what is new' list, because is a lot of changes, still have some sprite problems, like clone basics and fews sprites to get hits, but is 100% more enjoyable char, so have fun."

Mugen: Aquaman

Okay, let me be honest. I've always, when I was a child, thought that Aquaman was a joke! I didn't take him seriously and neither did anyone else. Like Robin, I thought that he was in the Justice League as some kind of "affirmative action: He was their water guy. Of course, I wondered what they needed him for because Superman was breathing underwater and in space! Talking to fish? Right. I mean he is useless unless there is water around somewhere. What a difference 3o years make. I find that i have to take back every negative thing I ever said about Aquaman. I think what has changed is how the character is handled. He's got an attitude. They gave him more of a personality. He seems like someone who really could go up to Superman and tell him what he thinks. He acts like he really rules 3/4 of the earth. Being King of the world's seas and oceans mean exactly that he controls 3/4 of the planet.Writers are also giving him a cause. Of course someone like him would want to protect the world's ocean....by any means neccessary. He's a king. Of course he'd feel like he could dictate terms...leading him into conflict with other members of the Justice League. I think that if was pure genius the way Aquaman has been handled in animation since mid 1990's in Superman:TAS, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, and Batman: The Brave and The Bold. I have found 2 distinct versions of Aquaman for Mugen. Here is my compare/contrast table (Remember it is a relative scale 1- 10):

Aquaman Mugen Versions

Image	Creator	Fun Factor	AI	Look	Download
	Erradicator	6	5	5	www.presstart.cjb.net
	ZVitor	8	7	9	http://infinitymugenteam.com/

I want to be fair concerning Erradicator's version by admitting that I have a bias against the "classic" version of Aquaman. I prefer the bearded, hard-core version. As for how they fight, I tested them the same way I tested the other: Computer controlled against each other. The following is a playlist of that test.
