2D Fighter Maker '95 provides a limited number of character slots. To get around this limitation, five character slots are designated as "Free Slots." A Free Slot character can be added to the game by copying his .player file to the main Muscle Fight folder and overwriting one of the existing Free Slot character files.
Alternate & Recoloured characters can be added to the game by copying their .player files to the Muscle Fight folder and overwriting the characters' existing .player files.
The Muscle Gear utility allows you to add extra character slots to the game, bypassing the need to overwrite characters.
Muscle Gear is a utility that lets you add and re-order character slots in Muscle Fight, removing the need to swap Free Slot/Alternate characters. It also adds new game modes and quality of life changes to Muscle Fight (including the ability to continue after losing), and is highly recommended.
