The character showcase continues with Kohaku again, but this time being played in her Halfmoon style, and Red Arcueid(Warc) being played in her Crescent style. The Kohaku player is はぎ(Hagi), who was a top Satsuki player in MBAC but was kind of on the fence between H-Akiha and C/H-Kohaku in MBAA initially. It seems he’s settled with H-Kohaku, and he’s one of the best players of that character now, in videos at least. The Warc player is レオ(Leo), who was far and above the best Warc player in MBAC, and easily the best C-Warc player in MBAA. As usual, a nicovideo link of the original video and a Youtube playlist are provided.
Main things to note are H-Kohaku’s damage potential, especially from command throws, and her ridiculous EX Golfswing, which is one of the best reversal supers in the game. Leo also has an incredible sense of spacing with Warc, and a very creative and unique playstyle as well.
The 2nd post in the MBAA character showcase features Akiha Vermillion in her Halfmoon style, and Kohaku in her Crescent moon style. The VAkiha player is Satoken, who most people know as an old school MBAC VAkiha player, getting 2nd place with kubo in Tougeki 2006 MBAC(this was back when it was still Version A). Nakau was basically the best solo Kohaku player in MBAC, and is probably the best C-Kohaku in MBAA. Provided are the nicovideo links of the original videos, and a Youtube playlist with them.
Nakau gets off to a rough start, dropping most of his combos but eventually he gets them down and it’s smooth sailing from there. C-Kohaku is notable in how much of an improvement she is over MBAC Kohaku. MBAC Kohaku was known for having very strong mixup with the assistance of plants, but her damage output was among the lowest in the game. C-Kohaku gets huge damage with the new sword loop she has, and still gets to run the strong plant mixup.

Finally, some brand new footage has surfaced showing off a sneak peak of Ryougi Shiki and Schoolgirl Akiha! 6 videos are now up for download on the MBAA ps2 official site. If you’d rather not download them (they are rather large), they’ve also been uploaded to this Youtube playlist for your viewing pleasure.
Here’s a quick look at one of the videos. It shows off Ryougi and S.Akiha in their Full Moon forms. It also features Ryougi’s stage, based on the forest ouside of the Ryougi mansion (and also featuring the hype music from the movies as its BGM!).
Seifuku Akiha managed to catch everyone here by surprise. At Type-Moon’s original announcement of her, I thought it was just going to be an extra outfit. Turns out we have yet another addition to the already sizable cast! She plays quite differently from the other two Akihas in the cast, fighting primarily with a slew of kicks and new origami attacks. Those air origami rings look pretty scary, from the two videos that show them off.
Ryougi Shiki, from Tsukihime’s sister series – Kara no Kyoukai, is a character with many similarities to Shiki Tohno. She comes from a demon hunting clan and possesses the highest level of Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. Thankfully though, she appears to be far from just a Shiki or Nanaya clone in her MBAA incarnation. She already is displaying some sizable ranged normals and some specials that seem pressure focused. I can’t wait to see more!
I’d like close with a quick reminder that the discount coupons are still good as new, so don’t miss out on preordering MBAA ps2!
Yay, the embedding works. Anyway, this is the first in hopefully a series of several posts that will showcase the characters in MBAA and good players for these characters.
We’ll start with Nero and Kouma. The players in this set of videos are SAT and かいまーと(Kaimaato), using the Fullmoon style for their characters, although SAT switches up to Halfmoon style in the last video. The videos are the 5 videos on the bottom of the Nicovideo mylist that is linked. If you don’t have a Nicovideo account, the videos are also mirrored on Youtube in the playlist embedded below the Nicovideo list. There are 9 videos total in the Youtube playlist.
For some background information, SAT was one of the best Nero players in MBAC, and is still a top Nero player in AA. Kaimaato was undisputedly the best Kouma in MBAC, and is probably still the best Kouma in AA. He’s particularly well known for being able to make ridiculous reads and is just amazing at drawing counterhits.
