Back in year 2004, most of my school mates don't like Mugen too. They find the game odd, looks lame and so on
which makes me hate the games that they play such as King of Fighters 2002
I saw one of my school mates have their own Mugen game which was Mugen 01.01.2000, the very oldest Dos Mugen engine. Their roster was pretty cool with lots of different kind of characters, mostly from SNK and Capcom's fighting games. I remember they had one pokemon's character which was Jigglypuff
There were many people watching them playing and kept on saying "what is that game? how come there is a evil chunli known as dark chunli? isn't that shadow lady from marvel vs. Capcom? No, that was dark chunli. She has got many moves different from Shadow Lady." I feel that most people complaint about Mugen most were very easy AI's opponents (I remembered one of my local guy was saying the CPU opponents are too easy, no challenge at all
), overpowered strong AI's opponents and the crash problem. Ever since then, I have never seen any of my local citizens playing Mugen anymore since most of them are playing other games.

3 - the old mugen engine did cause crashes and closing the game abruptly and with bugs.
New Mugen engine 1.0/1.1 crash too depending on the characters added into the Mugen game. One of the creation is Ikaruga's characters: http://ikrgmugen.web.fc2.com/
