Suave Dude is a character that serves as the main antagonist of M.U.G.E.N's Arcade mode. He is a rich man who looks rather suave and sophisticated (hence his name), wearing blue jeans, a black shirt and a pair of sunglasses, and lives in the Mountainside Temple with many minions (presumably the characters in the player's M.U.G.E.N roster). He is the mortal enemy of Kung Fu Man and the would-be final boss of M.U.G.E.N should Elecbyte ever make the Suave Dude character.
Long before he served any real purpose, Suave Dude originally appeared in an example image for PCXClean to illustrate its functions, but was seemingly wiped from existence within seconds, with only Kung Fu Man left standing. What truly happened to Suave Dude remains a mystery, but he reappeared a few years later to kidnap Kung Fu Man's Girlfriend, only to disappear once Kung Fu Man arrives at his temple and defeats an evil clone of himself.
While only the Suave Dude sprite exists, it was originally kept as a tradition by many M.U.G.E.N fans to never make a Suave Dude character in order to keep Kung Fu Man's ending "true". Despite this however, various creators have created their own interpretations of Suave Dude, most notably Masukenpu-kun's version.
Masukenpu-kun's version[]
After years of silence, the elusive Suave Dude finally appears! It seems that Suave's gun was mostly for show however, as he instead opts to fight with a kick-oriented playstyle, perhaps to be on a more even playing field with his arch-nemesis.
Trivia[]
Elecbyte's image of Suave Dude "giving up violence".
- According to Elecbyte's blog[1], Suave Dude "briefly gave up violence" in April of 2002, accompanied with an image of Suave Dude in the style of a typical dating-sim game. This is likely a reference to a lost April Fools joke.
