"All cheapies are essentially the same."

Not true, coming from someone who uses them much. Many are very different.

"Think about it for a moment. They have no gameplay and therefore do not really qualify as actual characters,"

Wrong, Heaven's Gate is a cheapie (at least for the 12th palette) and yet his normal palettes function like a legitamate normal character. Therefore that statement is invalid.

"and have no purpose past being the "strongest" and always "winning""

I'll say, I agree with this part. I only make stuff for the fun of making it.

"even if it exploits methods that things like actual computer viruses might use."

Agreed, Viruses are pretty bad.

"Not only this, but most cheapies use very similar, if not the exact same, coding,"

Not all use the same coding, many use their own forms of code or use the H-Konsen Template combined with their own coding.

"making the vast majority of them spriteswaps of each other with only minimal variation between them. "

Again, wrong so much. Many are not "spriteswaps", they would only techncially count as a spriteswap if they had no coding change what so ever and had only sprites changed.

I'm sorry, but PLEASE. If your going to make some kind of comment regarding cheapies or similar concept, do research first. I'm not defending this guy nor being a jerk in anyway, but this is coming from a guy who knows the INS and OUTS of MUGEN and who has worked with this kind of code.
