I've retired SuperMario and P.o.t.S. Ryu from Team Raiden Fighters. This is the 18th and final Mario & Ryu vs. Everyone and the official retirement video for Mario and Ryu from Team Raiden Fighters.
Mario and Ryu have given me a great run over the past 14 months I've been into MUGEN. Now, I'm in a whole new generation of MUGEN videos, and AI vs. AI fights are no longer fun to watch or fun to make. Additionally, it became increasingly difficult to make good Mario and Ryu survival videos because my roster was getting bigger and more tough AI characters were being added.
I've only used Mario and Ryu very sparingly since I first started using MUGEN. After that, I've started to get more comfortable with quirky characters like Predator, Goku, and Cell. Mario and Ryu's well-roundedness helped me get back into fighting games in general. Now, the time has come to move on.
This finale of Mario & Ryu vs. Everyone is a special video. I had to choose the perfect BGM to play in this video, and Dynasty Warriors comes to the rescue. The track "Sacred Ground" from Dynasty Warriors 3 fits perfectly. It has that almost impending end feel to it, and it goes well with the swan song of the MUGEN series that helped make me what I am today in the MUGEN community and on YouTube. The stage Exodus Train is only fitting for a journey that's coming to an end.
After the main survivor run, I present all the highlights of Mario and Ryu when I've played as them, and the Survivor Series.
If you think I put too much thought in this video, bear in mind that
Mario and Ryu were the big reasons why I became big on YouTube. I used them even before I formed a MUGEN team with Jigglypuff and Predator. I could not just retire them from my team without giving them the tribute they deserve.
Thanks for the memories, Mario and Ryu (Team Raiden Fighters members from December 16, 2006 to October 12, 2007).
