When's Melty on Steam?
ahaha that's no--wait, what?

http://blog.livedoor.jp/humanity6 April 12th
Melty Blood Act Cadenza Ver.B2 in arcades is being reverse ported to the PC.
Ecole will begin selling it in June for 6090 yen.
Arcade mode, training mode, and survival mode are all implemented, and it has the same replay functionality as ReACT.
-
This is great news and something to look forward to. Now I can finally redo my video. :-X
-
Awesome any chance for a Netplay patch for it too?
-
YES! I can finally play MBAC despite my shameful lack of ps2!
(About netplay, I expect some random Japanese person will make it soon enough, otherwise I'll see what I can do about it myself (I was porting the EFZ EX netplay to MBRFT, which obviously I'll stop doing now since we're getting a newer version))
-
If there is netplay, then hopefully it doesn't suck anywhere nearly as bad as Re-Act.
-
This is great news and something to look forward to. Now I can finally redo my video. :-X
Same. It also means we can have 5 copies of the game running on laptops at gatherings, all being recorded with super replays.
-
Me gusta usar la torrente por que es muy facil y me es muy...pooro :V
-
Yaaaaay,
YAaaaaaaaaay
YAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!!! :fap: :fap: :fap: :fap:
-
This is great. Now I can play at home and don't need buy a console....which I never will anyway....
-
Damn it, this is nice and all, but I hope it comes out for the PS2 because running tournaments on this is going to fucking suck hardcore all over again. Switching controllers, people can't use their sticks, dragging a tower halfway through NYC, god I thought we were already past that.
-
Is it going to be CE or just Ver. B arcade?
-
Now that I think about it..... A PC release sounds awesome, as if the game is updated we could just patch the game and all that shit so nobody has to buy upgrades. :V
-
i don't mind PC... just means i need to get a USB convertor for my stick.. but i am really fond of the recording system >:D
-
Yeah the recording system on the pc versions of these games is really convenient. Now if we only had more options for the training dummy. :-X Crouch guard? Record input anyone?
-
Yay another adition to my like 30 other computer games... :]
-

USB converters, those radio shack ones work very well and LAPTOPS!! and Micro PC's!!!!
PS3 sticks work on PC too, looks like ill be buying one of those sintead of digging around for a PS2 one.
-
Bro, we were running MB tournaments pre-FT.
If it was on a laptop that shit was annoying as hell because you'd have 10 people crowded around a small ass screen.
Then when Sp00ky buffed up his PC he had to drag the thing across 10 blocks and lug it in the subway just so we could hook it up to a TV to local tournaments.
It's just really damn annoying, especially at bigger tournaments / majors.
I really hope they come out with a PS2 port already, like ASAP.
-
Most good laptops have a TV output, Infact allmost every laptop these days has one so its not a really big problem anymore.
Just carry an S-video to composite converter and a headphone jack to RCA jack converter and some RCA cables and your set. Then it would be just like carrying a really expensive PS2 around . . oh cant forget a pair of USB converters all this stuff fits nicely into a laptop bag too.
But i guess a PS2 version would be good too.
-
the thing with laptop is converter for sticks are not as promising as stick used directly to ps2 and the thing is some people dont' own.. and thing with laptop is if the laptop might lag the game sometimes too :o..

French Bread Narita's famous complaints on his blog is back:
http://www2s.biglobe.ne.jp/~k_wata/zaki.htm
"PC Version Melty
We're having so much difficulties that we regret doing it.
It's like we're not finding problems in a positive manner, but in a negative way.
There's no progress but only troubles.
I guess this is payment for making plans without thinking ahead.
Atoning for our past sins now.
Half of the reason for the postponement is this, but to be honest
I personally thought the initial release date of late June was harsh.
We'll do the best... The programmers that is.
Dot Sprites
There isn't any characters to add from Tsukihime in the first place, but
it takes a lot of time to make them so please understand...
(Especially the people in the Arcade industry.)
Do you believe that its easy since we're using an outdated low res sprites?
There are some where only one artist and an editor working on it by themselves.
1 character may take almost half a year to make.
Well, I know Melty became commercial so
I understand we can't always be complaning but...
We'll try our best to live up to your expection... The graphic artists that is."
Does the last sentence sound like a new character or what?
-
If they put a new character in there I'll fucking kill them.
-
Who is even left for a new one anyway...
What. Roa? SHIKI? Altrouge? BLUE LEN?
-
If we're going strictly by Tsukihime, all I can think of is... Arihiko? Makihisa? Roa/SHIKI/etc?
But we already have Kouma/Len/etc who aren't Tsukihime characters, so... Akira? Nanako? Zelretch? Crimson Moon? Hanei? Souka? Princess mode Arcueid? Some of them don't really see to be reasonably capable of fighting others (Arcueid, Nero, etc.), but we have HisuKoha and the like in the game already, so... If they limit themselves to Tsukihime/Kagetsu Tohya characters (as they seem to have done so far, other than joke/original characters) there aren't that many possible choices left.
-
I vote for Executioner Arihiko holding Nanako by her mane and tail, with a carrot in her mouth.
-
Len was in Tsukihime. VERY minor role iirc. She only appears to give Shiki his orgasmic wet dreams.
Oh, I doubt a new character would appear. If they were to have True Shiki/Roa appear he would have to be a fear, but he's no one's fear.
-
new character?
what about kiri nanaya or whatever his name is
Shikis real dad with the drumsticks.
-
He's dead, yo. And I don't think Kouma's really scared of Kiri enough for a Tatari manifestation.
I'm thinking either random Kagetsu Touya character or (gasp) Kyokai (Shiki Ryougi or Touko Aozaki). It'd be neat if Shiki Ryougi was dual-wielding her knife and sword, 'cause then you can put a whole crapload of clash frames on her attacks XD~
-
Just so that people don't misunderstand. The last line
"Does the last sentence sound like a new character or what? "
is Evospace commenting. It wasn't part of the blog statement. Of course that doesn't rule out a new character, but don't think it's French Bread saying that line and assume a character is coming.
-
It'd be neat if Shiki Ryougi was dual-wielding her knife and sword, 'cause then you can put a whole crapload of clash frames on her attacks XD~
Characters named Shiki with knives and death perception are the new shotos.
With that said, I would play Ryougi. A knife and a sword? How can you fade that?
-
It's all about the bubz these days for me. If it's not deliciously flat, fuck that.
-
How the hell does Evospace extract "New character" from "We're atoning for our past sins."
They want to fuck themselves up with MORE work?
-
Are comments like these harbingers of delays, or can we still expect this thing out by June? And will any plug-ins or wacky Japanese software be required tog et it to run on a Western PC?
-
If Iam not misstaking anything here, it is said that it will arrive in late july. Like most japanese games it might require your local settings to be japanese or it might work with applocale. That would make sense to me, but it might also work just as it is with your pc, who knows. Feel free to correct me :toot:
-
http://e56.info/mbacwin/index.html
LOL Tag Team battle. XD
http://e56.info/mbacwin/ss10.html
See the website for more screenshots.
-
http://e56.info/mbacwin/ss09.html
Note only 2 characters fighting, but the health bars for four characters are there. Perhaps it's more like a MvC2 system with tags or maybe the other characters are just support chars that you call in for a quick assist? *shrugs* Yay for speculation.
Personally though, I hope that the new mode isn't just a 4 player all out brawl like Isuka. =\ There's too many issues that come up with that.
-
Yeah, like a turn button. Fuck that shit. :\
So when can we expect to see this? Still June? or July?
-
I think the site says late july..... :/
-
If the 4 player mode is anything like QOH99 instead of MvsC or Isuka, then it's gonna be good.
"Atoning for the past sin" = Must be the QOH99 4 player mode...
-
"Atoning for the past sin" = Must be the QOH99 4 player mode...
Ahahaha I didn't think of that.
-
Wow, this rocks.
Tag team would be hot as hell.
:V
-
Dont forget the new Pose(Taunt)-button. :fap:
Thats probably where the sprites that they are working on are at. :toot: :toot:
-
My computer sucks balls. Release it for the Ps2, I'll trade my old copy in for it. They owe it to me.
-
How old is your computer? The requirements to run the game are hardly top of the line. :-\
-

Re-act technically ran pretty well. On my laptop. My other computer is windows 98. It's like a pile of crap that sits there an rots.
-
Tag Team mode is going to be awesome I can't wait. Also, new characters maybe? Why has no one mentioned Enhance? He seems like a possible contender after all the Tsukihime 2 stuff going around.
-

you'd be afraid if some random guy walked in and stabbed your eye out WITH A DRUM STICK.
-
Screw that, I want a totally useless character that somehow gets strong for no reason, like Inui. :o
-

we already got that : Miyako

I want Inui too, dammit! >_>

I forgot to comment on the tag team. That is really cool. I can't wait.
-
Official date has been announced, July 27th.
-
Haha! They just pushed that shit back to July now? Oh well.
-
good to have a offical date, even tho seems to have been pushed back a bit, now all they need to do is bring a version for the psp and happy for a long time. *hopes for portable melty blood!* =]
-

Ew. Just ew. Give me a stick any day. I don't need no nubs.
-
now that PC release date is said... so... any news on PS2 release :O?
-
I'm not worried about a PS2 release just yet. Once it comes out on PC I think then it's fair to start thinking about a PS2 release, but that's just me. :-X
-
I'm just hoping we'll get a solid netplay instead of MBR's shitty one. =\
-
i am wondering cause i don't want to use Keyboard :/... even if i can use it but o wells..
-
Ew. Just ew. Give me a stick any day. I don't need no nubs.
lol D-pad and keyboard is what i learned to play all fighting games with, i wasnt' any big arcade man, which does *look* cooler to use than a d-pad, but still not as mad as beating another person using a keyboard, thats just embarrassing for the guy using a stick or d-pad
-
NO PS2 RELEASE PLZ.
Come on. Think about it.
PS2 version is bad because it doesn't have a progressive scan mode. I have component cables but I still have to put up with interlacing which throws my game off.
PC version runs at 60 FPS progressive scan. Exact frame timing? No problem!
Also, the screenshots for tag team battles have been replaced with normal screenshots on Ecole's MBAC webside (http://e56.info/mbac/). Sad. Were we fooled? D:

Try reading the website for the PC version and NOT the arcade version?
Edit: http://e56.info/mbacwin instead of http://e56.info/mbac
-
o shi no wonder.
-
Wow! They're gonna put a Tag Battle mode in this game? Sounds interesting. It does say "4P...whatever the rest is saying" though. So do you think it's gonna be a 2 Player Tag Battle mode or a 4 Player Tag Battle mode?
-

If you're talking about HDTV lag, you likely still have HDTV lag coming from your PC, even though it's progressive, because it's not scaled to your TV's resolution. Melty Blood runs in 640x480, which scales to a standard def TV as 720x480(non-square pixels). Either way it's a lot lower than a HDTV resolution, so it'll likely still lag...but not as much as an interlaced signal will.
If they do a ps2 release, I hope they include a progressive scan option. At this day in age, it's harsh to do ignore that.
-
There might be a hack I can find out that will upscale the game to my native resolution. If not, I have plenty of CRT monitors to play on. :D :D
**EDIT** - Also, since the signal will be coming through VGA, I imagine things will work out just fine on my HDTV. It's not even an HDTV, but a 37" 8ms monitor. If there are still problems with that, then 20"-CRT-I-Picked-Up-For-Six-Dollars-From-Goodwill, here I come!
-
I was going back through all my old OSTs and such and I found my old one from the earliest versions of Melty Blood. God damn, they need to redo some of those songs and re release them for this version. Especially the character select song, its so much better in its old form than the current ones we have. The opening needs to come back too...
-
YES! I've been saying that practically since Act Cadenza came out on ps2 and I imported it. lol
The ReAct OP and the character select tune are superior, imo. I do like a lot of the new music added in Act Cadenza though, so I can't really complain too much. ^_^;
-

Lies, all of that is. And you know you get giddy when the game over screen plays.
-
yea the react char select screen wasgreat and the new one deters me from play the game... seriosly im think oh il play melty blood then i remember the awfull music and i just got play guilty gear instead.
-
Pre-ordered and it will set me back about 100 bucks
But I can't complain. Trying to play the PS2 version the same way I play in FT is like trying to race in F1 using a 1984 Honda Civic XD
-
Is there any way to post suggestions on the mb site because i would REALLY like to see a beefed up training mode for pc. Can you say record mode or crouch guard all or stand guard only or progressive guard?
as for mbac verB2 being on ps2.....uuuhhhh.....no. they wont get the speed correct im certain of this. hell im kinda skeptical about pc ver having the correct speed.
and for you pad/keyboard warriors: dont do it to yourselves. If you intend to play this game competatively and should mb one day blow up w/ a possibilty of sbo qualifiers being on the table....YOU WILL BE SAD :emo:
-
Don't worry, be happy!!!!!!!!!
:V
-
i want a ps2 version, i just dont want a half assed one >:|
-
I wouldn't think getting it right for pc would be a real issue because programming for that platform offers the most flexibility. You are not limited by having to optimize for the complete junk that goes into a PS2...or pretty much having to optimize at all. But we'll see...for now I'm just happy to get the latest stuff =)
-
If they fuck up a PC release they just patch it. If they fuck u a PS2 release they go banckrupt.
also 4 player tag would be AWSOME.
-
July 27th? Nice. Looks like Playasia is pre-ordering it.
-
Can anyone tell me what the Limited Edition version (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-7s-49-en-15-melty%2Bblood%2Bact%2Bcadenza-70-21me.html) has extra over the normal version (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-7s-77-1-49-en-15-melty%2Bblood%2Bact%2Bcadenza-70-21md.html) at play-asia?
-
yea the limited edition one cost 20 bucks more, bringing it to 80 freggin bucks.

S'posed to be a OST with it too, i think?
I woulda got limited edition...if i could spare that extra 20.
-
yea the limited edition one cost 20 bucks more, bringing it to 80 freggin bucks.
It's more cause you forget about shipping. Thing costs 100 bucks if you want to ship UPS...and if you're paying 80 already...you better take UPS/fedex
Oh and yeah, limited edition has a 2disk OST with it.
-
And there goes my money... ._."
Oh well, it's fucking worth it.
-
>.> Not that I don't want to give French Bread and Type-Moon all of my monies, but do you know if the OST is different than the songs in the game? Remixes and the like? I mean, I guess a month is enough time to earn a hundred... But still. If I can just extract all of the music files...
Also, what if the new character isn't original? What if it's another tag-team like HisuKoha? But then again... who would team up? ((XD Maybe a pair of Mecha-Hisui's?))
<.< 4 player is going to KICK. ARSE. I just hope there's not going to be a turn button, like in GG Isuka-- although it is useful sometimes...
-
And there goes my money... ._."
Oh well, it's fucking worth it.
Indeed
Im a cheap-ass-fuck and would (and pobably will) pirate a copy in a second but shelling out that 100 to own a genuine copy of the second most influential fighter in my life (after 2i/3s) is totally worth it.
MELTY BLOOOOOODDDDDd!!!!
-
Damn. $100 for a pc fighting game. I'll have the money by then but good God. That's sure is a lot. x_X I'm hoping there's extra tracks on the OST.
-
It's a matter of principle for me. Yes, the torrents would be up on launch day and hell I'd probably get it faster through them than by ordering it. However, since mb is the only thing I play, I believe it is only appropriate to show support for the maker and get a legitimate copy.
That way not only am I up to speed, but also am able to tell Sony to suck it and avoid the crappy playstation >.>

lol D-pad and keyboard is what i learned to play all fighting games with, i wasnt' any big arcade man, which does *look* cooler to use than a d-pad, but still not as mad as beating another person using a keyboard, thats just embarrassing for the guy using a stick or d-pad

Hey guys, if you do buy MBAC PC, buy it through our front-page link ^o^ It helps support this site. <3
-
Just want to ask if we preorder the game does that mean that we will get the game on the day itself or will it take a few weeks for the game to ship to our doorstep? This is my first time buying things online so any help would be nice. Thanks!
-
Usually the order will be shipped on the day the receive it. The amount of time it takes to get to you all depends on the shipping option that you choose. They give you a rough estimate when it should arrive.

*garglez raz0rz*

I actually ordered it by myself... then cancelled my order and clicked through the front page link :V Rejoice! Limited edition will be mine, along with my unopened copies of MB and ReAct.
-
...
I want...
to play...
as Nanako! >=3
I also purchased a factory sealed box of the Melty Blood Pretty Collection figurines ((Semi-Chibi but still awesome~)) as well as a Melty Blood poster. Anyone want pics once they get here?
*sigh* Twenty more days... And then shipping...

Theres nothing wrong with being able to use a keyboard effectively for a fighting game, especially seeing as how some of us don't have access to either pad or stick. Personally I'd love to see a keyboard alternative for games that are only available for console, because that is the environment I perform the best in.
Newaiz, can anybody spare about $100 so I can get this game? D:

since when is it 30 bucks to ship a small box within the US?

WHAT? THIS HASN'T BEEN LEAKED YET?
:psyduck:
(p.s. I have a limited edition copy preordered from the meltybread.com front page)
-

Since that box originates in japan? Ver.B pc in the u.s.? Never that good luck finding a us store to carry it. Overseas shipping beotch.
-
Dunno why shipping would be 20-30 bucks, though. I got mine for less than 9 bucks. Economy shipping, but I want to own the game, not get it in as soon as possible (I shall download it beforehand).
So, who's internet connection is so slow they can't get the game in a week? Anyone?

Has anyone seen the little bar under the life in the 1 vs. 1 screenshots? It looks like a battery, and is replaced with the tag's bar in 2v2...

I will burst your bubble.
Those numbers and the colored box just show what costume color you're using during the round. Nothing more.

accually i was talking about a pad which you would probably get from US. but yea i agree with choco about paying like 8$ for shipping.
-
So, who's internet connection is so slow they can't get the game in a day? Anyone?
Fixed.
And what about the people who don't like to download games? I think there are some people that don't...
-
Well, that's just the issue. They can buy it and wait, but all that will happen is they'll be waiting while the rest of us play. The fair use point of view is that someone had paid for it, and they want to use their product as soon as possible, so they can either wait for a physical copy, or download someone's other copy until the downloader's own copy comes in. It's a gray area, for sure, and completely based on personal preference. However, I think the download in this case is completely justified.
-
I'm with Choco on this one - if they have paid for it, downloading is totally justified.
-
And what about the people who don't like to download games? I think there are some people that don't...
That's a myth. An urban legend.

Alright, so I placed my order for the limited edition and when I checked out, I got a message saying "One or more products are currently not in stock." I tried this for the regular one too and got the same message. I was wondering if anyone got this same message when they placed their order. Does this mean that the only reason it's not in stock is because the order is being placed before the release date? Or are they giving me that message because they are sold out already (and not taking pre-orders anymore)? Common sense would say they're giving me that message because the game hasn't officially been released yet and I'm placing the order before then. Sorry if this sounds kinda dumb but I'm just looking for a little clarification. I really hope it's not the latter of the two.
-
Playasia makes you check a box acknowledging you know the item is on preorder and not in stock. They just want to make it clear that the item will not ship right away. Then it lets you know again at the end. It has done the same thing to me with other games.
-
play-asia does that mainly for when you pre order an item and have another item that is instock just to let you know that the order will ship out together as soon as the preorder arrives...i guess urgring people do seperate orders if they dont want to wait for the instock items.
so h-f blade no fret i order from play asia alot and they usally ship a day before ship date as well..and pretty fast on shippin i live in NY and i get mine in a week.
-
Mine shipped today! :toot:
-
I'm pretty much a tool when it comes to sexy packaging or extras, so I'll have to wait and see exactly what the limited edition is like before I order...though it's tempting to go with the regular edition now, since the limited one is apparently not shipping until the 27th.
Have to make sure the extra cash is worth it's limited-ness before I go with that one though >_<.
Or is it just exactly the same shit with a two disc OST on the side?
-
Or is it just exactly the same shit with a two disc OST on the side?
That's what i've been hearing.
-
Ok so it's a relief to know that I was able to place my order knowing that they weren't out of stock. Too bad I'll have to wait another 1-2 days for it to ship since it's limited edition. -_- Is there any source out there that confirms what exactly comes with the limited edition? There's no description for it on play-asia.
-
So....
Who's gonna SMASH their (b**tleg) copy of MBAC:PS2 ?!!! >:D
I know once I have my p*****d copy of the PC ver my old copy is getting smashed to teeny-tiny bits. I'll update w/ some before and after pics. ;D

Well, the game isn't officially out but you can now download the first bugfix patch here (http://e56.info/mbacwin/mbacwin.cgi?patch101)

Hmm, this is the first time I've ever seen a patch come out so quickly for a newly released game. I guess they must have noticed something wrong after they shipped it out to the disto's?
Well I guess I should list the bugfixes I've read about:
- All the sprites are now displayed using DirectX9.
- The memory used during battle was decreased.
- The player can skip the game over screen.
- Other misc bug fixes.
Also does anyone know what this is all about:
"Concerning the damage of the first limited edition dressing case please refer to this (http://www.e56.info/mbacwin/box.html)"
-
some team name translations provided by Kamatari:
Tohno Akiha + Tohno Shiki = Iroiro Aru Kedo Nakayoshi Keimai = "Though there are some things between them, a brother and sister who really get along"
Kohaku + Mech-Hisui = Kohaku Kyoui no Tekunorojii = "Kohaku's Fearsome Technology"
Neko-Arc Chaos + Kohaku = Mai (something... the kanji is too blurry), Ore no Tabako ni Hi wo Tsuke na = "(something), give me a light for my cigarette"
Kishima Kouma + Arima Miyako = Shugendo to ka Kenpo to ka = "Such as Shugendo or Kenpo..." (i.e. fighting styles that members of the team know)

WTF
Mega Mecha Neco Arc Chaos?
XD

More like G. Neco-Arc Chaos. (By the way, G. Akiha needs to be a playable character.)

ROBO-K...
I mean, GIANT ROBO NECO CHAOS...?

Please do not tell me that's fake.
Also, another teamup from #MBAC:
Nero + White Len = "Ojisama to Rorita" / "Old man and the loli"
-
Nero + White Len = "Ojisama to Rorita" / "Old man and the loli"
...simply classic...
-
Nero + Aoko = Cosmos and Chaos <3
Also, another teamup from #MBAC:

That is beautiful.

I'd hate to point this out, but the first page of the other thread thread explicitly says:
Also: Please do not link or discuss pirated/torrented copies of Melty Blood in this forum. Posts of that nature will be deleted. Kinoko Nasu has to eat too, you know.
So... yeah. Sorry, but we can't help you. :psyduck:
Hmm, there should be a slowpoke smiley.

NEKO ARC CHAOS BLACK G.666!
NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE KOOOOOOOOOOOOO....................
-
Just HOW are you supposed to fight him, anyway? I've already beaten Arcade Mode with Neco Arc Chaos.
Also, this further solidifies my belief that Kohaku is one crazy bitch. I blame Makihisa.
-
i blame the anti-monitor
-
Is there a way to change the announcer voices?
I think there is actually.. although I haven't figured it out yet. As it is right now, the default announcer is White Ren, but on those old MB:AC gameplay videos that I posted a while ago, regular Ren was the announcer(aka the announcer for VerA and the arcade versions). Hopefully someone can figure this out soon
-
Uhh... I think I broke the game.

Got this while mashing on A and D after choosing a char. (also, manually resized the window, that might have affected it too)
EDIT: It even persists after the battle! D: (char select screen)

try using the patch for the game keith its on the main page.
ah and does anyone know how to "tag" another character into play? like what are the button combinations for it, haven't been able to figure that out even after pressing a whole lotta crap =/

That is 1.01. :D I messed it up nicely, didn't I? (everything's normal on a relaunch. I suspect the resize had something to do with it.)

i had a similar bug happen at the Loading screen, but it disappeared when battle started.
-
my dreams of 4 Hisui&Kohaku team battle royale has been shattered.
anyway, the game seems bleh on widescreen TVs. Hopefully theres a aspect ratio fix, probably not, i know that's hard to do....

I've pulled it off on the loading screen too. However, the actual in-battle one is far more devestating. ...and hilarious.

I started Arcade Mode with Neco Arc Chaos for the first time and got a dialogue where he says HD DVD or something. Then Kohaku / Dr. Chin shows up and says shinbun, shinbun... (newspaper).
Then I accidentally closed MBAC.
And when I started up Arcade Come with Neco Arc Chaos again, I didn't get the dialogue. Instead he gave a monologue. Did I miss something?
-
Sorry for a completely dumb question, but how do you even get to use neco-arc chaos in Arcade mode, anyway? I can use him in Tag/Team modes, but that's it. <<;
-
Beat Arcade Mode with any character, then you can select Neco Arc Chaos by selecting Nero with D.
-
oh, wow. xD so that's what that pop-up meant when I beat the game. xD I thought it was just to speed up dialogue like in MB:R. xD silly me, thank you.
-
no prob!~ I don't remember that pop-up, though!
I'm also trying to figure out how to get to Mecha Neco Arc Chaos G666!
-
for those using the pelican ps3 to usb adaptor-
where are you mapping the Start Button to?
-

The select button.. Yeah, for some odd reason it doesn't recognize the start button in-game on the HRAP2 (it does in the game controller control panel though >_>).
It's not like you need both start and select anyways.
-
So I take it everyone here grabbed the regular edition?

Press and hold D when you start with Neco Arc Chaos in Arcade Mode (I think you should hold it until after you choose his color). Well, that's sorta what I did after remembering that fighting against G.Akiha required the same process.
Edit: If you used him previously in Arcade Mode, move the cursor on another character, then go back to Chaos. THEN press and hold D to choose Neco Arc Chaos, and hold it until after you choose his color, otherwise it doesn't work. Finishing this story also unlocks Giant Chaos 666 mode as a separate mode similar to Giant Akiha Attack mode in Final Tuned, except it actually shows up on the menu. Continuing if you lose doesn't seem to affect getting it at all, it seems. :slowpoke:
-

I ordered the limited edition. I think Jyuunishi/MSong also did.
I'll post up pictures when it arrives.

I've done a bit of testing and I can confirm a couple things about PS3 sticks for this game:
-The HRAP3 (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-zl-49-en-70-1rrr.html) will work great out-of-the-box. Just like in any other PC app. Simply the best PS3 stick option that'll also function on a PC.
-The VSHG (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-zl-49-en-70-1rjw.html), surprisingly, also works swimmingly out-of-the-box. A quirk of this stick, if used on a PC, is that the stick input will be read as POV/hat input. Interestingly enough, MBAC Ver.B will read POV input just like axis input, so there's no need for something like joy2key, which is an often-required work-around for other programs.
I have a HFS3 (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-zl-49-en-15-fight%2Bstick%2B3-70-1o24.html) available to me, so I'll test it out later and get back to you peoples. In general, don't get this stick if you want to make sure you get something that'll work on PC. All the driver options I've tried have never worked on any system I've tested.
I don't know if it's my imagination or not, but I think the VSHG feels a bit more sensitive than the HRAP3 in MBAC. I'll get more hands-on time with my friend's HRAP3 w/Sanwa buttons soon and try to verify.
If anyone is considering either the HRAP3 or VSHG, here are a few things to think about:
-The HRAP3 will work better with games other than Ver.B. Unless all you'll do is play in MAME. In which case, either stick will be just as good.
-The HRAP3 has Sanwa stick and Hori buttons. It's a generally accepted practice to swap the buttons with Sanwas for the genuine JP arcade feel. The procedure is made simple by quick disconnects, so it's not hard, but it is still an extra expense on a stick that's already more expensive than the VSHG.
-The VSHG is cheaper overall and has entirely Sanwa parts. It is also harder to get because it is, from what I gather, the preferred stick for PS3.
-If anyone has played on any prior HRAP or the Tekken 5 stick, you'll know the basic feel of a HRAP3. The VSHG feels overall more solid and substantial. The case is slightly smaller than the HRAP3, but it is heavier.
Either way you can't go wrong with either stick. I personally have a VSHG and I'm thinking of ordering a HRAP3 & Sanwa buttons soon.
-
the POV hat quiry is also on the XB360 controller, but also works on mbac right out of the box..
i'm using the T5 US stick, which works just fine except for the start button. Map it to Select instead...
-
I've done a bit of testing and I can confirm a couple things about PS3 sticks for this game...
Are either the HRAP3 or the VSHG backwards compatible with the PS2? I thought I read somewhere (Most likely on the Hori website) that the HFS3 is not so I was just curious about these two.
-

If you're asking whether they're usable on a PS2 console, no, none of them work. All PS3 sticks are USB. And although PS2s have USB ports on front, USB peripherals need to be supported in-software.
If you're asking whether they're usable on the PS3 playing PS2 games: yes. Although this is a bit sketchy because the last few firmware updates have been fixing and breaking compatibility of these sticks with PS2 games.
-
Hmm, that puts me in a tough spot then, I was hoping to be able to snag a decent (Read: cheap) stick that I can play cross platform between the PS2 and PC. I guess I might have to give that dream up though.
Thanks for the info.

Anyone else running this on Vista? Works fine as-is, but 1.01 crashes at the vs. screen. Not sure what the deal is. :mystery:

Anyone else running this on Vista? Works fine as-is, but 1.01 crashes at the vs. screen. Not sure what the deal is. :mystery:
The problem might lie in the fact that Vista uses DirectX 10, and 1.01 changes the rendering of MB to DX9. There may be an incompatibility issue. Anyone tried to set Windows compatibility in the exe file properties to a different setting?

Er, no... I don't have a DX10 compatible card, so it's still DX9. Good call on testing the compatibility settings... I'm going to make a copy of the folder and try to patch it and see if I can't make it work.

i have a setup running vistahome prem with a geforce 8800gtx, no problems here.

Hmpf. I'm getting weird 10sec black screen delays between loading screen and actual round start. Any ideas on how to fix that?
And woot, my copy finally arrived:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v646/l0k/mb.jpg)
-
Nice...is that the regular edition? I still have no clue if there's any difference to the limited edition other than the OSTs. I'd know but it just so happens I missed my delivery this morning T_T...
-
Limited. Box contained just the OST and the game. Currently converting the music in mp3 format...so can't say if it is any good or not.

I got the ripped tracks off share. Only a few of the tracks were noticeably changed including Len's, Aoko's, and one other stage. Although I haven't really taken a close listen to them all yet.
-
Well my copy arrived in the mail today, problem is I'm stuck at work! Ahhhh, I want to play! Oh yea, does the OST have the character sounds like the original Melty Blood OST (Promised Dawn) had?
...Wow I just noticed that Play-Asia is already sold out of the Limited Edition copys. Man that went fast...
-

Then again, the game stills reports my DirectX version as 10, 9 doesn't seem to want to reinstall (but yes, it's there), and XP compatibility mode just doesn't work, period. I am baffled and frustrated! It's only the screen before a fight, though... nothing else seems to set it off.
Here's hoping I'm not the only one having this problem, and that the others are Japanese and whine a lot so we get another patch. :V
-
Damn, mine hasn't arrived yet. :( Hopefully later today.

i'm running this game on windows vista business, amd athlon xp 2400+ (2.0ghz), ati radeon x1300 256mb, 1280mb ram. my main beef with this is that i have frame rate issues. i have to set the FPS to 70.00 otherwise if left at the default 60.00 i can only get a maximum of around 55FPS thereby making gameplay just a little bit laggy. anyone else getting this problem?
also if you press F12 in game, it enables a filter that basically blurs out the pixels. (in case you haven't tried this yet)
Grave, try running the game by (right-click properties) disabling visual themes, desktop composition and display scaling on high DPI settings. you can also try running it as an administrator
also if using fraps (in windows vista), don't run the game as an administrator or else fraps won't work.
-
Hey, has anyone had freezing problems where the game and sound still go on, but the video gets stuck?
-
anyone know of an actual list of changes to characters for this version?

I was messing around with the game, looking for new announcer voices, and instead found bonus images that are displayed on certain dates. These are all, by the way, no point looking for more :V

The first three are there from the demo, but the fourth is new (or maybe we never tested it on the demo).
The fourth totally wins though.

I kinda like tag better, it plays a bit more like Tekken Tag or KOF, depending on which one you think it fits better with. :V
-
we messed around with the tag battle at c3, it was well... pretty fun. switching characters if you're about to be punished was pretty cool. you can let someone else eat that saturday night fever. it's funny how you're not allowed to use hisu/koha, i was planning on (attempting to) crashing my friend's laptop by going into team battle and choosing hisu/koha x4.

First one is obvious, while the fourth one is more obscure if you haven't played Kagetsu Tohya (It's supposed to be September 9, I think).
I don't know when the second and third ones come out though. What holidays are they supposed to represent? :mystery:

That would be New Year.

I haven't personally tried this yet, but I hear that some have difficulties binding player 3 and 4 controls, anyone that can confirm this and possibly know a solution?

Truthfully speaking, this doesn't feel as slow as the arcade version.
It still feels different, just not slow. I still think it's faster than the arcade version, but I don't quite have a way to test it yet, but it's not that big of a deal.
For both the second and third?
Yes.
-
I really like the new tag mode, though the 4 player mode is lol as expected.
And yes finally white ren!
-
I figured I'd rip the last one, because White Len looks so Moé I could die. :emo: :V

Hey, has anyone had freezing problems where the game and sound still go on, but the video gets stuck?
If you're referring to the immediate start of the game then yes. I'm assuming that there is some sort of opening video but everytime I start up the game all I get is a black screen with the opening music playing to completion, then the menu pops up. Luckly the opening song is only a few minutes long so I got to the menu screen before I started to panic...
...So far though I've come across no other problems other than that...
-
That opening video will play in windowed mode only, for me. Odd bug.

I have to think it's something about the effects on the vs. screen, but what baffles me is the fact that yeah, 1.0 still works fine. When I was screwing with the patch, I just made a duplicate of my game folder and patched that so I didn't lose my working installation.
So yours can get past the vs. screen sometimes, but it crashes others? Even weirder.
-
well, the vista computer with 1.01 is extremely fast, so i only need to see 1-2 secs of the versus screen before i'm allowed to skip it, and it crashes before the thick white bars cross. I'm guessing it has something to do with stuff in the background loading.

I have a HFS3 (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-zl-49-en-15-fight%2Bstick%2B3-70-1o24.html) available to me, so I'll test it out later and get back to you peoples. In general, don't get this stick if you want to make sure you get something that'll work on PC. All the driver options I've tried have never worked on any system I've tested.
Not surprisingly, Ver.B will not recognize the HFS3. Just like any other PC program. If anyone ever finds any working drivers for this stick, a link would be much appreciated.

If you're going to do anything, microwave it, then smash it and/or drive over it with a car. Another idea would be to attach a mini cam to the disk and drop it from a really high place.

If anything, should be productive with the ps2 disks. I have found that superglueing one (or even a few) to a Frisbee acts as a stabilizer and thus making your tosses that much more dangerous fun. Now add a dog trying to fetch to the picture.... :P

Now that you mention it, it does the same on my computer too. I even tried changing the movie file to the ye olde OP just for fun, but that wouldn't work either in fullscreen.

Sweetness.
Tropsy is also working on using some code from Caster's Immaterial and Missing Power netplay patch to code his own MBAC netplay patch. This makes me giddy from excitement.

Kohaku, a.k.a. "Doctor Amber", is the nefarious mastermind behind the whole event. Basically, she lured Neko-Arc Chaos into his whole journey by throwing a copy of her bogus "Kohaku Shinbun" newspaper through his window.
... Oh, heck, I might as well synopsize the whole Neko-Arc Chaos storyline. I'm doing these mostly from memory (I don't have a video of the playthrough to use for double-checking), so please excuse a few inaccuracies here and there.
Beginning of game:
Neko-Arc Chaos had just finished sitting through a massive anime marathon. He remarks that "HD-DVDs are a marvelous thing." Papergirl Kohaku then rides by, shouts "newspaper! newspaper!" and throws a newspaper through his window. Neko-Arc Chaos goes "hmm? A mysterious, window-breaking newspaper... well, let's see what it says, shall we?" Among the things that he reads:
-- TCMC, Team Chaos Monster Cats, will air at the conclusion of baseball. Neko-Arc Chaos: "Well then, must remember to set my timed recording for 2 AM for that!"
He then flips to the classified section:
-- Nero in critical condition, soon to go to heaven. Neko-Arc Chaos: "Yeah... whatever."
-- A congratulatory proclamation for someone's wedding. Neko-Arc Chaos: "Mmm... I wish you the best, as well."
-- Someone's trying to sell a "jar of happiness". Neko-Arc Chaos: "...Oh heck no! I've already bought 300 fake jars like yours!"
He eventually sees the following entry:
-- "Chaos, please contact me. George in Hollywood." Neko-Arc Chaos: "George in Hollywood... No way! Could it possibly be ... Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucas?! He wants to talk to me? I must be off at once! You just wait, ILM (the "L" is bleeped out :P), a new Superstar shall be born!"
Mid-Boss (Damien Armies):
Neko-Arc Chaos: "And so, through the tunnel, here I am. (in an abandoned factory with tons of Neko-Arc Chaos in the background and occasionally Sacchin peeking in)"
Mysterious Voice: "Welcome to the party. You're the 666th entrant to our splendid audition to decide the next Celeb Neko. This is our magnificent stage."
Neko-Arc Chaos: "Oh? No matter how you look at it, it looks like an abandoned factory..."
Mysterious Voice: "Oh, how keen you are. But then, that's to be expected, considering that you are me and I am you..." *reveals himself as a clone of Neko-Arc Chaos*
Neko-Arc Chaos: *Shocked* "You are...! It can't be, but you are...! In other words, you are...?!"
Mysterious Voice: "I am a copy of you, geez! I'm one of the copies who pop out whenever you use Down, Down + B or C, sheesh! My name is Neko-Arc Black!"
Neko-Arc Black: "So, we meet at last, Original... Or should I say 'he who was the Original'..."
Neko-Arc Chaos: "Oh? By that, I infer that you mean to vanquish me and take my place?"
Neko-Arc Black: "Indeed. I am the most powerful Neko in all of America, and I deserve the spotlight. But I won't be doing this alone. Here, let me introduce you to my team -- the Damien Force." *A second Neko-Arc clone appears*
Neko-Arc Noir: "I am Neko-Arc Noir ("noir" is "black" in French). I aim to be the first Neko honored by the Macademy (a parody of the Academy that presents the Oscars)." *A third Neko-Arc clone appears*
Neko-Arc Schwarz: "I am Neko-Arc Schwarz ("schwarz" is "black" in German). I aim to be the first Neko to be rendered by Pixar into full 3-D CG." *A fourth Neko-Arc clone appears*
Neko-Arc Nero: "All of America makes me cry. I am Neko-Arc Nero, and I am the last line of defense."
Neko-Arc Black: "And now we must stop you. For it is her (actually, he says "aitsu", which is a gender-ambiguous pronoun... but we all know who he's talking about) will." *Fight begins*
Before Boss Battle (Neko Chaos Black G666):
Neko-Arc Chaos: "So this is the luxury liner, Golden Don, that leads to Hollywood... Is that right, o beautiful lady over there?"
Kohaku: "That's right! This is the ship (furigana reads "trap") that will make you a star (furigana reads "send you to the stars")!"
Neko-Arc Chaos: "Hmm... Somehow, your words make me uneasy. Aren't you the one who delivered that newspaper? It's not one of those sinister papers who lead you to your death, is it?"
Kohaku: "No way! My Kohaku Shinbun provides "clean" news that is without smear campaigns, sensationalism, unnecessary publication lags, missing words, or typos! I've got to use it to trick Shiki-san every morning, after all!"
Neko-Arc Chaos: "Oh, Glasses (referring to Shiki)... Such a sad life you lead, being lied to all the time... If you weren't such a commendable sociopathic killer, I'd be lamenting your gullibility more..."
Kohaku: "Well, anyway, it's time to board the ship to your dreams! Since you've gotten this far, don't even think of backing out now! That means, all you noobs and untrained combo artists playing, that it's too late to quit now! If you do, I'll start by erasing the folders on your hard drive one by one! How's that for incentive?"
Neko-Arc Chaos: "Well, I dunno... You've got a bomb strapped under the table here and a torpedo tied to the chair there... I don't think I'll be boarding."
Kohaku: "Grrrr! Why are you so difficult! Neko-Arc-san bought into everything so easily! I was able to send her (and her various copies) walking off the plank like so many lemmings! Oh well, time to reveal my ultimate weapon!"
*dialogue boxes disappear momentarily and Kohaku shouts "come on, Black G!" as Neko Chaos Black G666 descends*
Neko-Arc Chaos: "Wh-What is this?! A long-lost relic of ancient Earth civilization?!"
Kohaku: "No, no, no. It's my ultimate weapon -- the fruit of careful observation and scrupulous planning! It's designed for the perfect and complete extermination of all Neko-Arc creatures on Earth! Hate to tell you, but you don't stand a chance!"
Neko Chaos Black G666: "That's right. In order to destroy all the Neko-Arcs, I will even snuff out the sun if I have to!"
Neko-Arc Chaos: "So... That means... that the request from George is..."
Kohaku: "...my strategem! I used it to lure you out here! (heart mark) [Yes, the text actually had "(haato maaku)" written there]"
Neko-Arc Chaos: "And the rebellion from the Damiens is also..."
Kohaku: "...my strategem! That was my way of making sure there's only one left for me to get rid of! (heart mark)"
Neko-Arc Chaos: "And Shion's infinite combo...? White Len being a tsundere...?"
Kohaku: "*menacing voice* All of that was my doing! *normal/cute voice* Kyaa! I've always wanted to say that!"
Neko Chaos Black G666: "And now, Original, is the moment of truth. Time for you to face your demise!"
Kohaku: "That's right. My Black G is programmed to be a complete copy of Mr. Chaos' power. Black G, show him the power of your 666 (the furigana for 666 reads "fujimi" which means "invincibility")!"
Neko Chaos Black G666: "Normally, my programming dictates that you would have to defeat me 666 times. But I'll waive that and make it so that 2 rounds will suffice between us."
Neko-Arc Chaos: "Yes, I thank you for that. I'm rather anxious to see the new ending scenario they designed for me specifically for this release of the game, after all."
Neko Chaos Black G666: "Okay, then... Let's get it on!"
*Dialogue boxes disappear and are replaced with calligraphy-style writing that says "Believe in Chaos, Nero, and Melty Blood! -- Kohaku (with her emblem reading "Happy New Year")*
Neko-Arc Chaos's post-Boss Fight Quote:
"Hmm, I sense a core overload explosion coming...! Super Jet Mode activate! Goodbye, Earth! Have a good time without the likes of me around!"
Ending:
Neko-Arc Chaos: *In space* "Now then... It was a good thing I got out of the way of the explosion of that robot, who had to have been enough of a bomb to destroy the Earth 666 times over."
Neko-Arc Chaos: "Oh? What's this? Instead it's covering the Earth with a shockwave whose only result is to make all the shrimp jump out of the oceans?"
Neko-Arc Chaos: "Oh, well done, Doctor Amber. To think of powering your giant robot through the energies of kindness..."
Neko-Arc Chaos: "Oh well, I'll just take it easy out here for a while. No. 4 will be along to get me in a little bit."
Neko-Arc Chaos: "What's that? Our anime spinoff plan failed and so there won't be a No. 4 unit made?!"
Neko-Arc Chaos: "Hellllllllllllllllllp Me!!! Forget No. 4, I'll take the International Emergency Relief force!"
Kudos to Kamatari again :>

That is the most freaking awesome arcade scenario ever.

wow thanks for translating.

It's stuff like this that makes me wish you could play as Neco Arc Chaos at the arcade.
*looks at everyone*
Err, you CAN'T use him in the arcade version, right? :slowpoke:

Actually, does the arcade manager have to have to unlock it first or do you have to press shield? I did the latter at AI yesterday and failed. :emo:

Don't think it's been discussed yet, but are the System Voices still unlockable in the PC Version, tried beating the Survival Mode with Hisui and Kohaku as well as Neco-Arc, but no dice. Anyone got any information on this?
-
Honestly I've been looking around for this as well and I haven't seen anything so far. Oh yea, can anyone tell me what the stuff in the Omake folder on the CD is or how to get my wordpad to show japanese characters?

Judging from the quotes (and because Ever17 has the same sort of fanservice to it - my system sounds are currently set to Tsugumi :blah: ), they're voice sample replacements for your usual system sounds. Long story short, you can now have Neco Arc Chaos telling you that you have mail. :V
-
Ah I see, I kinda figured that what it was, though there is a folder called "replays" in there that doesn't have any sound files, somehow I think it's something seperate from the folder with the system sounds but who knows...

Someone who reads moon, patch note translations... quickly!
Something about Sudden Death? err... SADDEN DEATH!
-
Change list is already on frontpage, nothing much really. Victory screen, Demo movie fixes, and Sudden Death mode (meaning, in team/tag the round does not end when a partner dies).

Ah, no fix for the opening movie yet eh?

I agree. I did kinda think it was weird that the battle would end when only one of the characters on a team was KO'd. It's like the other character lost morale and decided to become a pacifist or something.

vista directx10 card crash fix?
oh for you "opening movie problem" people... just uninstall whatever codec pack you have, and install the newest klite3.30 codec pack. you dont have to install the player, just the video codecs and filters. BUT most importantly at the end of the installation, when it says "restore all codecs to default settings" make sure you do that! It should fix most of your video problems, if not all of them.

Oh, so it's a codec problem then. Alright, I guess I can fool around with it and see what happens.

It's a relatively small file, so I don't see why that would happen unless your internet was being slow. :slowpoke: Happens to me sometimes though, so don't fret.

Man, I need to wait until I get a PS2 to USB converter to play. Damn the facts you cant edit the default keyboard.

I am having a graphical error when playing. It's nothing game breaking or whatever, but I'm just curious if anyone else is getting this or if there's anything I can do to fix it. The...uh, for lack of a better word, hit marks (those slashy marks that show when you connect an attack) aren't showing up for me at all. Anyone know what's up?
Also, is there any way to map a command to two buttons? On the ps2 pad I use, I had shield both on Circle and R2, and am wondering if I can pull that off with MBAC pc.
-
Hmm, your running patch 1.02 right? Whats your general setup? It sounds like a driver problem to me, maybe with DirectX or your video card. As for mapping one attack to two different buttons, I don't think it's possible unless you modify the launcher in some way.
-
Is it just me, or when one character kills another in a team battle, does that character stop being able to move for the rest of the match? Although, looking at it now, it's probably to prevent the remaining team from teaming up on the other character with no opposition

Doesn't happen for me. Odd.

Ok I've had a very specific issue come up. Last Sunday when I was playing casuals, one of the matches for a replay save was corrupted, characters used were HisuKoha and Ciel. So the first round is fine but when the second round comes up, halfway through the round the replay starts screwing up and the characters were doing things that we didn't do when we played the match. And eventually the things that happened at the end of the second round originally occurred but HisuKoha still has half life remaining. At that point, the replay just stalls and the characters just stand there. We were using the latest patch and I've tested the replay files on 3 different systems and getting the same results. I get the feeling that this is the same problem that occurred back in MBR when one player chooses HisuKoha. I'd be able to check if it's really character specific but unfortunately we only got ONE replay that entire day. Just ask jux. It's a long story, but he knows why. x_x Has anyone else had this problem occur too?
-
I'm not sure if it's just odd because it's MBAC, but I can't even COUNT the number of times I have had that happen to me on MBR. The match seems to play back differently and usually it ends with both of them just standing there forever XD. I have no clue what the cause is, but it would happen to me a lot regardless of the character...I don't believe I've run into that problem in MBAC yet though.
-
Also, is there any way to map a command to two buttons? On the ps2 pad I use, I had shield both on Circle and R2, and am wondering if I can pull that off with MBAC pc.
I did something similar in the ps2 version. You can probably get that effect with joy2key(just bind your circle and r2 to whatever key on the keyboard is shield). I don't see that being allowed in tournaments though. Any tournament I run you can set up your controller any way the game lets you, and that isn't in the game so its out.
-
HisuKoha severely messed up replays in MBR. Seemed like their tag screwed things up.
-
Yeah, wtf is that all about? So it looks like it's still around in pc MBAC. I thought they would have had ample time to fix this. <.<
