The king of one-liners finally has a modern MUGEN release. Unlike older versions where Ash just had a boomstick, this new version includes three separate fatalities. The best is "Kandarian Dagger," where Ash shrinks the opponent, places them on his workbench (classic Army of Darkness style), and slices them in half with a rusty spoon.

Old MUGEN veterans remember the days of "Reu's MUGEN" or "Pots's" high-quality but sterile characters. Before 2020, most "fatalities" in MUGEN were basic screenpack gore or cheap instant kills. Today, the scene has evolved. mugen characters with fatalities new

[State -1, Fatality Starter]
type = ChangeState
value = 8000 ; The state where your character performs the fatality animation
trigger1 = command = "fatality1" ; The command defined in CMD
trigger1 = statetype = S
trigger1 = ctrl = 1
trigger1 = p2bodydist x <= 30 ; Must be close to opponent
trigger1 = p2stateno = 5150 ; Opponent must be KO'd (lying down)
The Victim Logic (Forcing P2 to react):
[State 8000, Bind P2] type = TargetBind trigger1 = animelem = 1 pos = 0, 0 ; Stick opponent to your character
[State 8000, Force P2 Animation] type = TargetState trigger1 = animelem = 3 ; Timing of the kill value = 8001 ; P2 is sent to state 8001 (You must define how P2 acts in their CNS, or force a custom animation) persistent = 0
