I’m trying to build the ultimate MUGEN roster, do you have any characters you consider to be a must-have for any good roster?
Hard question for me to answer because there's SO much and I've only messed with so many classic characters.
You should be able to find the real popular classics easily, like Bluestreak and Reubenkee's work.
I'm mainly about OCs so I can't tell you too many versions of adapted characters. So I'm just gonna tell you whatever comes to mind that isn't terrible or blatantly nsfw.
In terms of stand alone characters that you probably wouldn't find immediately:
Crea and Sayia by Sekirei are old adapted(?) characters that are worth looking at.
Dagger's work (Black Dragon Eni, Phantom Scissors, Kikka Yajima)
I should start posting more characters in general
Here's a list of sites and pools or whatever I think are worth looking through.
Cerenas' Work, his Asuka 120% characters are good
Kamekaze's site is a good start for various things
JustNoPoint has The None's stuff plus others, there's a lot of joke stuff but there's some normal solid characters.
TrinityMugen has a small pool of stuff by some old authors, including DivineWolf who's stuff is used everywhere.
Kishio's Characters are all good originals. (Links near the bottom on the left)
Tanukida's characters are fun (Links are in the description at the top)
Masukenpu might have some good stuff in here, I don't know much of it.
ELECTRO's "Ultimate" characters are good custom versions.
Descolor's work is worth mentioning
Ukege recreated the Robo-Kys, you can change switch out the moves of his Mk. II and Mk. III. He also made Robo-Len, Robo-Sol, and ZAGI.
Dagger's work (Black Dragon Eni, Phantom Scissors, Kikka Yajima)
Rikard's characters are classic KOF edits but I've barely touched them.
Ouchi's work is great, they made what I think is the original version of Agrias Oaks? The one that uses FFT mechanics, there's two other versions by different people and they all use the same sprites.
They also recreated some Urobura (Type Moon Parody) characters and made ASB Hol Horse.
Iwakick's MVC characters are a thing
YUUKI_IN_SLASH's Demifiend and Black Frost
MAITAKE's work is great.
Hirohiro's work
I WOULD say Mr. Chicken Heart's characters just keep in mind they're VERY weird feeling but are very cool.
Ahuron's work, SeanAlty has some classics
Brergrsart's work is high-quality, he made Trouble Man and Vargverse among others. But his characters do unfair amounts of damage so they're mainly for comedy purposes. Keep that in mind.
If you want good Kula edits, the ones I know are good are Fliz, Flamme, Lyzer Spinel, Gliz, and Izuko
I would post more but my brain keeps fighting itself,
Mugen Free For All has collections for series and authors.
It's a huge life-saver since a lot of stuff in those would probably be lost or way harder to find otherwise.
There's also the Mugen Guild Wiki but it has a lot of dead links or links that lead to sites with dead links. But it can be good for learning about stuff.

3 is the third studio album by Japanese math rock band Tricot. It was released on May 17, 2017 in Japan by the band's own label Bakuretsu Records.[1] The album was released on the same day by Big Scary Monsters Recording Company in the United Kingdom and by Topshelf Records in the United States.[1]
Critical reception[edit]
Patrick St. Michel of The Japan Times wrote that 3 showcases Tricot's "ability to strike a balance between complex instrumentation and sudden emotional flourishes."[6] Phil Witmerwrote of Vice opined that "what makes 3 and the rest of Tricot's music transcend the 'experimental' label is a transparent, pop-derived emotional core", while noting 3 to be the band's "heaviest, most challenging album".[7] Chris DeVille of Stereogum described the album's music as "intricate and noodly" but played with "a frantic energy and melodic directness worthy of the Bangles."[1]
AllMusic critic John D. Buchanan found that Tricot, while not innovative, are nonetheless "very good, and in a crowded marketplace they do manage to bring something unique to the table", citing their ability to "infuse their challenging avant-rock with a real pop sensibility".[2]
