For one of my college classes, I wanted to make a fighting game, that was somewhat playable. I found a quick an easy engine, MUGEN with a super in depth tutorial, and started to work on 2 separate characters, Daichi and Asuka. While the game feels very spammy, I like to think of this as good practice with learning how to make and create balance hit and hurt boxes for fighting games. Below is a recording of the engines AI fighting with both characters.
I did NOT make the sprites, I ripped them from a sprite sheet on this website:
