Even though I am not voting due to that I could make a wrong decision and later regret it, I do have a few points despite most of the points already made that I agree with.
While it would help increase the fighting games being ripped around here, it would also make it very lazy as someone could rip from the MUGEN SFF and claim the rip as their own. Also the original creators might have used sheets from another site or may not be ripped properly/complete. I know that my rip of Daffy Duck from Daffy Duck in Hollywood is used as a MUGEN character that was made by someone else so that can be traced, but many other characters get a bit iffy being a grey area and all.
Another thing is that many sprites (not all but some) are frankensteined of famous characters (e.g. Ryu, E.Honda) being used as a base which I am not sure about.
I would say that if the original creators of the custom sprites would submit and indeed well done then that would be the only case I would think of getting accepted (or if someone used the MUGEN engine as a famous Japanese game). Fully agree with Gary's point of being a fan game (even though it is more of an engine that later became a fangame with contraversory). Personally I don't know what to think.
