thoughts on this comparison
Take my opinion with a grain of salt since, ironically, I don't really care for crossovers or character skins or whatever.
MUGEN and its derivatives are always going to be tools for people to do whatever with whatever stuff other people make. It's homegrown. To me Fortnite has this niche of being a giant, glistening cashcow beacon for brands that keeps people interested through shock value and novelty while also having enough original, stolen from 2008 deviantart-looking designs to keep people who don't care about that stuff invested. Though the more I hear of them adding pre-2010s media I feel like the bubble gets a little bit closer to bursting.
A new Fortnite crossover brand thing comes out like: "Don't put those V-bucks in your pocket with the rest! Fortnite announces 2nd 'No Country for Old Men' Crossover!" And I'll think "Damn, what about the American Psycho emotes?" At the very least, you know, it's like there's a big Chuck-e Cheese playground for all ages. It kinda makes me sick.
So yeah I'd say it's pretty gentrified. When you get a chance look up GetAmped 2 skins. Funny stuff.
