Reloader

Reloader is a coding technique, generally applied to SuperNull, HyperNull and UltraNull exploits, used to create a different instance of the engine for "defeating" the opponent.

When a character uses this coding technique in their main exploit, it usually creates another instance of the engine with the same parameters to those of the Postman method before closing the main process, allowing said character to have absolute control on the arbitrary process.

This subtier is not very popular among cheap authors, as the character who restarts MUGEN to win doesn't really load the enemy and therefore doesn't defeat them.

There is no direct way to circumvent this coding technique but using methods that can intercept or hook functions to prevent other characters from creating another process instance. However, more recent Reloaders also ensure that these interceptions are avoided, making them almost impossible to beat on both sides, using syscalls.

History

Information about the first character who used the Reloader technique is unclear, but it seems to indicate the chinese author, Rin, used it on Ashes Princess Requiem Zero, which was a Supernull character created in 2017.
