I want these MUGEN characters >_<
As you can see in the video, some lucky wota has MUGEN characters based on H!P idols - this video shows Reina and Takitty, the other one below has Kamei and Mikitty. For those who don't know, MUGEN is a program that allows anyone with the right skills to create backgrounds and characters to be used in a fighting game, and these characters can then be distributed on the web individually or packaged in a full game.
I like the creativity that went into this, there are some funny choices for the special attacks. Look at how Reina finishes off Takitty in the first round, remember anything? (Yup, that's from Okajo) And Takitty's got some Sailor Moon powers here, with the way her clothes change in the beginning of the rounds and when she does some of her special attacks. Then there's Morning Musume's music playing on the background, which is a pretty obvious idea, and there's real voice clips from the girls during the fight, which are kinda obvious too, but look like a lot of trouble. I love Takitty's character the most out of these.
Here's Mikitty and Kamei. I think they could use some more work though, and I can't understand the inspiration for most of the attacks here. Kamei turning into a lion? =/ But he remembered to include that weird knee thing Kamei did on a classic Utaban episode, I think, well, she did it somewhere =P, it appears quite a few times throughout the video.
Too bad I've got no idea where to find these characters T_T It'd be a lot of fun. Someone could also make a character based on that puppet from HM@, I'd love to kick him.
You can find some more videos like these here, but these four girls are the only ones included.

You could probably make some funny situations with a game like this. Like Kamei winning a fight against Mikitty in the second video. You just know something like that would never happen in real life XD
Just imagine the possibilities!! Manoeri vs. Sayu! Nono vs. Aibon! Mikitty vs. Reinachan! Nacchi vs. Homer Simpson!.....um okay I'll stop now. :P
Maybe Kamei had a "Lion Attack" because of the time when Morning Musume were on a game show and they played a word game involving animals and instead of saying "Lion" she said "Lion King"....? Thats the only logical reason I can think of.
It's a real shame that it looks like a complete set of characters were finished as it would have been amazing, much like the game on this site http://www.geocities.jp/ken_peace2/kasimasib.html I occasioanlly check it in the hope that perhaps a download will some day become available but it's been years since the site was updated so I'm guessing the likelyhood of ever seeing it in action is nil...oh well.
