O Ilusionista

O Ilusionista is the moniker of Douglas Baldan, a veteran Brazilian creator who founded the Brazil Mugen Team, and is one of the earliest authors still active as of 2020. He was also one of the beta testers for Fighter Factory, and continues to be an active contributor towards its development.

History
O Ilusionista first came across M.U.G.E.N around December 1999, seven months after it was initially released. At the time, he was working with a different engine titled "KOF91" that was easy to use, but also had very limited capabilities. Due to the scarcity of usable tools for MUGEN at the time, he didn't make much headway with his first project; a brown pile of goo which he drew in Paint and swapped some Kung Fu Man sprites with, which he would later dub 20 years later as "the most horrible thing in the universe". He scrapped that project aside, but continued to follow MUGEN's development while he worked on an edited character for the KOF91 engine.

He would soon return to MUGEN in 2001, and on March 17th of that year, began to write news posts for the MugenBR forums, where over time he became a moderator and eventually administrator, helping MugenBR become the biggest Mugen forum in the Portuguese-speaking world. However, he (along with several other members) eventually left the forums after having major disagreements with the forum's founder.

On February 5th, 2002, he founded the Brazil Mugen Team, a team which consisted of exclusively Brazilian creators. The size of the team has changed over the years, with O Ilusionista and Ethan Lives being the only active members remaining.
