I think that this fight would be awesome. Could Magneto win against Akuma? I think he could definitely. win. Here is a scenario in MUGEN using both character computer controlled.
CVG United has a great version of Magneto available for download. It's an update of Kong's version by Kong and aa250. I took it for a spin by going through Survival Mode in MUGEN.

I have heard a rumor that there does exist a version of the son of Magneto in MUGEN. There is even a video of Quicksilver in action. However, I'm not sure who made it and I am also not sure when or if it will ever be released. If anyone has any information, please feel free to comment below. The video shows a great character and I hope the developer(s) will decide to share it soon.
Welcome to the first day of "Shove This Up Your Stocking", our Christmas event. I would first like to thank you all for checking us out today. I would also like to thank Sic-1 and the SGM team for kicking things off yesterday with their releases, stage updates, and announcements.

Andersontavars is proud to announce his very first character release, Hercules. This is the first beta version of the character, so there will be many rough edges still.

To download, click the image above or follow to his discussion topic: Hercules Beta1 released!

Thank you all for making yesterday such a success. I think Guy Gardner is shaping up nicely as you could see in the beta release. And you got to love a new style of stage being released by Los Tha Don. CVG's appreciation also goes out to Heka and the CFAS team to give us a couple more things to host too. Finally, what an awesome display in that Supergirl video...just wow.
Now we have some good news and bad news...bad news first. Our original planned finale is going to fall short a little from initial plans. CVG's intentions were to release not one, but two brand new characters for you in Batman and Batman Beyond. There was also a plan for the Legends of the Dark Knight Screenpack release. But unfortunately, technical issues prevented all of those things from happening. But that leads into the good news to be discussed after the break.
Thanksgiving Release Event Day 3
The good news is, expect our Christmas event to be even that much more epic as all of those things will be ready by then. Not to mention a bunch of other things we are planning for you. Our hope is to make it our biggest event yet. So keep an eye on us for all that until then.
Discuss it all here

I'm sure most of you loved the updates Jor El came up with for his previous stages that we showed off on Day 1. Well, this is his first brand new release in a very long time. It is still a WIP, but he was so excited about it, he wanted to release the beta version. You all will recognize it from the Phoenix preview video also shown on Day 1. Tell us what you think about the stage here:
Discuss the Asteroid M release
Did you know that trexrell is brand new to sprite editing? You wouldn't know it with his incredible work on Vixen as not only does she look great, but he works so fast. Then toss in the fact that his actual fiance Yin has caught the same creation bug, and you see the great progress shown in this video. Can't wait to see more from this pair on her and anything else they work on in the future. You can find the WIP topic here:

Among CVG's many blessings we are truly thankful for is being good friends with Mugen Superhero Zvitor. He has been gracious enough to allow us not only to use his awesome Spiderman in the Crisis project, but now we can officially host him here as well. Thank you Zvitor!

Spiderman by zvitor now hosted here
I don't disagree with Magneto's goal to protect mutants but the whole world domination thing I don't like. All things considered I think Bison is more evil than Magneto and if they ever thought I sure hope Magneto wipes Bison out. It would be great battle however it turns out. I decided to see what would happen in MUGEN with two versions of the characters under AI control. Here is the video.
I'm torn about what I think about Magneto. I realize that he is a villain and repudiate his willingness to kill anyone who gets in his way. However, due to the suffering of his life, he has come to the idea that the only way to protect mutants is to kill normal people and control the world. Magneto thinks that the reason why mutants are hated is that they are better and the next stage of evolution. Like Professor X, Magneto's fictional idealology has real-world parallels. That is why I find the character so interesting and I feel for the guy. Magneto does not realize that he is doing the same thing that the Nazi's did when they killed his family for being Jewish. Here is a link for more information:
Out of the four, the Infinity Mugen Team's version was the best with Sunboy's version being a close second. They both play like Capcom's incarnations but the Infinity Mugen Team adds more moves and seems to all the player to play more like Magneto. Magneto is powerful and ruthless, you should be able to play that way too. Infinity Mugen Team did a great job in putting the player in Magneto's cape...er boots. Fiery Storm's version is coming along. It's only 95% done but I think it's worth checking it's progress.
