Melty Blood: Actress Again PS2 version in August Confirmed (now with Ryougi!)

[Mailorder]

game needs to hurry up and come out.  pray for a reboot of the MB scene

[CrimsonMoonMist]

praying for a pc port! at least i can buy it and play it emulated but i want the real thing for pc,
also the pc port of mbac came out a year after the ps2 port so i hope they keep that tradition.
no one seems to excited that neco-arc is also confirmed

[Kurii]

I like turtles.

[Escobar]

Shit, wat, Ryougi Shiki is in? And just like that I give a fuck again.

[LoliSauce]

But it's an odd move, no? Putting a KnK character in a Tsukihime-based game. And playable at that.

Tsukihime and KnK are already very closely related.  They have a lot of links as it is, so having crossover between them just makes sense.  It'd be weird if they put someone from F/SN in it, since that's the least related to the other TypeMoon titles.

Holy fuck, I haven't seen you in ages.  Even your interest has been revived eh?

Mahoutsukai will reinforce the tsukihime/rakkyo legacy

Ryohgi Shiki's weapon.... is that a katana?

[Van_Artic]

i'm seeing she's holding her usual knife, just look right under the guard bar of the first player

[BurstOfAnger]

Does the magazine page say that Ryougi's only appearing in the PS2 version or will there be a chance that she will eventually appear in arcade machines earlier than the PS2 release and thus give us some videos to see how she is?

[LoliSauce]

She better have at least an ex where she uses her katana.  That shit increases her power by a shitload.

[MasterT]

Arihiko should really be put in, even if he is just the Dan of the game.

They could use the same BS reason that Miyako can fight with everyone. I always thought it was weird how she got in but not Arihiko since originally her existence was nothing more than a few lines from Tsukihime.

Then I remembered that Arihiko is not a prepubescent girl so Japan doesn't give a shit about him.

She better have at least an ex where she uses her katana.  That shit increases her power by a shitload.

Seems more like Arc Drive/Last Arc material.

[Alfonse]

Miyako, Kohaku and Hisui's excuses were that they were affected by TATARI and thus given combat abilities. TATARI Arihiko... *shudder*

[f-wlen ice loop]

TATARIHIKO

ecole official MBAA PS2 website!

[Erkz]

Neco Arc has aerial eye lasers?!

NOOOOO!!!

Also, Ryougi doesn't seem to change too much between styles... like only one move changes?

Eh, we'll see when the trailer's out or something.

I was impressed.

Ryougi Shiki... she's a goddess....

She's sooooooooooooooooo cool!

[Irysa]

 more likely the moves are different, just named same, or rather, similar but different properties.

a'la vakiha/akiha specials, wara/vsion claws etc.


this makes me sad because I don't have Ryougi MBAA art. Oh well, I'm willing to buy any new artbooks and scan them when the time comes.

Man, honestly, this is such great news overall. I'm going to take this over with some friends of mine/maybe Sabator to the local gaming center every week on fight night once MBAA comes out and try to hype it. I joined the MBAC ship too late to really do anything but I really want to make a difference with it's status here in the EU.

I think it's because she's still quite incomplete so they haven't thought up more variety in styles.

Also, she isn't so gorgeous when pixelated T_T
