: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: Dipstick October 05, 2007, 10:57:13 PM
Upcoming in this month's Tougeki Damashii (http://www.enterbrain.co.jp/jp/p_catalog/book/2007/978-4-7577-3881-2.html) (an offshoot of Arcadia that's published quarterly that covers only fighting games):

主要タイトル最新情報:鉄拳6/アルカナハート 2/MELTY BLOOD Act Cadenza 2(仮称) (emphasis mine)

Translation: Latest news on: Tekken 6, Arcana Heart 2, Melty Blood: Act Cadenza 2 (working title)

(lololol the site no longer mentions MB:AC 2; the article was probably pulled at the last second).

It also goes on to list Arcana Heart Full and MBAC ver.B2, so this is certainly about the new version.

Discuss.

A new MB game would only harm the U.S scene at this point in time. PC MBACvB2 is highly accessible and stable and I think it's important to build a good base of users from it before jumping to MB2.

Ecole did PC to Arcade.  Beta tests were god awful, bugs everywhere and general crapiness.  French Bread jumps in and saves the day, MBAC is born.  Then MBAC ver A, then Ecole ports it to PS2 (probably still with French Bread's help but I'm not sure at this point) MBAC ver A2? is born.  Then it's ported BACK to arcade again and ver B is born.  Then they patch it a bit (byebye shion 2c, kouma 236a) and MBAC verB2 is born.  Then it's ported BACK to PC and MBACPC ver B2 is born.  I think T-M's only involvement was story aspect, general supervision of the project, and self insert cameos.  (Nasu and Takeuchi) 

Long stupid story short, Ecole sucks.  Don't give them any credit.

Page 2 (http://uploadingit.com/files/188862_knadj/MB-AA2.swf)

Release date is fucking Spring '08, we're in for a bit of a wait.

-Looks like there's a guard bar and guard crushing now
-New visible moves for Warakia, Kouma, Sion, Aoko, Nanaya, Nero, Miyako, Len, Mech Hisui, Neco Arc
-2 new characters: Roa and Riezdsfbhdfb something
-Style select allows you to select different versions of each character. So far we see a Crescent Moon, 3/4 Moon (Thanks, Lina) and Full Moon version of some characters, which you can see during battle next to the their life bars.
-Both the maids are 1 char now? (Perhaps they're selected individually with style select?)
-3 new visible stages: an airport, a(nother) park at night and inside a church
-New character select art
-New aerial spark mechanic, presumably a circuit spark you can do in the air
Machine: NAOMI (Arcade)
5 buttons <-- Means quick action is replaced?
New storylines by Kinoko
Bigger stage
Choices of playing style: 1 is Full Moon Style which emphasize on power: lengthened Shield, power accumulation, and circuit spark.

Oh yeah, I dunno if it's canon or the magazine editor just saying this, but it's been bothering me.

Under Riesbyfe's description,
"She fought Tatari in the past to let Sion escape, and she visits Misaki Town as an continuation (of that mission). However, she supposedly died on the night of confronting Warachia?"

and under Roa,
"He was a high priest and the reason Arcueid has fallen. He's the cause for the incident 2 years ago, and Satsuki Yumizuka was his victim. even if he's destroyed, he has an ability to reincarnate into a child at a different timeline."

Is Ries really dead or not?!
and
Actress Again's timeline is the same as Re-Act?!

yeah, i was hype when i saw the screen shots.....then i took notice to the guard bars.....and the guard crushing.... :-\
guard meter? For this game? That really doesn't sound like a good idea to me atm but who knows, maybe there will be some system mechanics incorporated that will even things out and make me less furious (perhaps this will encourage more use of, omgosh, shield bunkers  :mystery:).

And uhhhh "grooves"? when was the last time grooves did something good for a fighter LOLOLOL.  :fap:
New system mechs are making me kinda nervous. MB is a pretty solid game overall and I would hate to see it goto hell cus they decide to toss in some not-so-original ideas.

Hey Arly, any chance you can hype up MB:AA on the main pg?  >:( <--- hype face

My thoughts exactly, I hate playing as the combo. I like my Kohaku single.

Anyways, the guard crush seems like a nice addition I guess. The people I play against love turtle time, so that should force them out.
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: Sledeau October 27, 2007, 12:54:54 PM
Turtling is really playing keep away. If you're just 'turtling' by blocking in the corner, you're going to make a mistake on guessing high/low blocks eventually.
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: COD3player October 27, 2007, 01:08:31 PM
lol yeah, especially since American players can't block right to save their lives. x_X

Yeah I'm kinda worried about the guard meter too. It could mean characters with multi-hit attacks and supers might break the guard meter with ease since there are various C attackss that hit up to 3 times or more and a lot of EXes reach 10-20+ hits easily. I also wonder if they'll add throw breaks. I didn't like the concept at first but it makes sense because in the event that both characters attempt a ground/air throw, the game feels like it randomly decides who wins out.

Turtling is really playing keep away. If you're just 'turtling' by blocking in the corner, you're going to make a mistake on guessing high/low blocks eventually.
It's usually the keep away sort of tactic. Chaos/Tatari and using mainly the longer reach attacks, then when you actually do get block time!

It's all fun, but hopefully this guard break kinda lessens the whole thing.
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: Sledeau October 27, 2007, 01:37:23 PM
Yes, but if you get those two characters in situations where they're forced to block, eventually you're going to mess them up, regardless of of the lack of block meter. Sure, they have ways to get out, but the odds are still not in their favor.

OH YES ITS REEZE BAIFE! YAY!

Also I'm sure some people are going to be worried about Guard Crushes. Its going to worry me since I don't really like guard meters at all. :/

And for those of you who have terrible eyes:

First Row: Aoko, Shiki Tohno, Shiki Nanaya, Kouma
Second Row: Miyako, Ciel, Normal Sion, Reeze Baife, Vsion, Warakia, Roa
Third Row: HiKo, Akiha Normal, Arcueid, Warc, Vakiha, Mech Hisui
Fourth Row: Sacchin, Len, Wlen, Nero

Well the guard meter may be a good or a bad thing depending on how quickly it drains and how quickly it regenerates(if at all).

It also may be done similar to IAMP where guards that are done at the wrong height(blocking mid attacks low for example) cause additional guard damage.

Seems like Nero would have a field day on guard meter raping though.

Personally I've been looking forward to seeing Riesbyfe Stridberg for a long time in game, nice to finally see her get some screen time as something other than VSion's last arc.

Also with the addition of a guard meter it's possible theyre adding Just Defends into the game to reduce or negate guard damage.  Or not, who knows.

chip death isnt in MB anyway(and most attacks dont even deal chip damage) so its not like FD would help with much except air blocking air unblockables.  Which would just screw over certain characters anyway(cough nero cough kouma).  And we have whiff canceling so we don't really need roman canceling since unlike GG every normal is cancelable into every other normal on block or hit except some command normals.  All we'd benefit would be canceling whiffed moves which would probably make pressure strings far too safe if it was on moves that would benefit from it, or canceling EX moves(which in most cases the point of them is to be unsafe on block since they often have high clash or inv frames).

... This almost makes me want to yell at my parents to let me stay in Taiwan for college. Or maybe I can ask for two thousand for a graduation present. Screw the port. I need this on release date.

On that note, how does patching work, on an arcade cabinet? I know that Ecole sent out a free Ver. B board to everyone who owned a Ver. A one, but what about the little tweaks and stuff?

Oh yeah, and I'm in the process of raster-ing these and putting them on my door. Wheeeeeeee~

And it's definitely Guard Crash. You can see a u and an a in Guard, and the two "u"s look nothing alike-- heck, at the bottom of the page, the article says 「Guard Crash!!」 in English.

In the text below the new moves, starting from the very end of the first paragraph, it says "Sion's sliding, Aozaki Aoko's kick, Nanaya Shiki Intention ((blurry)), Kishima Kouma Crimson Scrape, Warakia's Night [ni mo] Path Extension ((?)) [sareteiru tokoro] can be seen." Aoko's almost-5C kick is actually different ((5C comes from Aoko's back leg, while this one goes from her front)), and apparently Nanaya's doing some new move, even though I couldn't tell just by looking.

And the church stage looks coooooool. >.> Another blue stage for stealth-camo Ciel, though.

Also, the article mentions a "Beat Edge..."

I'm going to try to embed a translation, since my brain is all over the place now.

Crash and Crush are often used interchangably in japanese romanizations.  Example:In Valkyrie Profile 2:Silmeria, the english version used Soul Crush for the term used for super moves, the japanese version used Soul Crash.

Oh yeah, I dunno if it's canon or the magazine editor just saying this, but it's been bothering me.

Under Riesbyfe's description,
"She fought Tatari in the past to let Sion escape, and she visits Misaki Town as an continuation (of that mission). However, she supposedly died on the night of confronting Warachia?"

and under Roa,
"He was a high priest and the reason Arcueid has fallen. He's the cause for the incident 2 years ago, and Satsuki Yumizuka was his victim. even if he's destroyed, he has an ability to reincarnate into a child at a different timeline."

Is Ries really dead or not?!
and
Actress Again's timeline is the same as Re-Act?!

How is that like his 6C at all? He freaking SPINS during 6c. In this he's standing straight....the fire looks like it could be a trail of some sort meaning he came from the air, or shot something up into the air...? Probably some kind of mega tall 22c that leaves him way open to attack from the sides (since he doesn't have a lot for "directly above" AA like sion dp or satsuki groundpound)

Sorry, I'm speculating too much now. :x

I love Melty Blood, and MB series is one of my top favorite fighting games. But I have to say I am disapointed, if this is considered a sequel. Granted, they are changing gameplay a bit, and adding 2 new characters, but it feels more like AC VC then a new game, but thats my opinion. Was hoping for like game play, but at least a huge considerable bump in artwork and graphics. MBAC sprites are amazing especially for the resolution, I would love to see what the artists could do with practically no limitations.  >:D :V

I agree with your reasoning, and still want SHIKI.  Why?  To balance out the completely uncontrolled male/female ratio this game has.

Seriously, it's utterly broken.

So long as characters aren't radically different between their moon phases, I'm content.  I shudder to think what kind of fun it'll be to update the wiki when we find the depth, though.  I'm not much for speculation (read my posts on Killing Ifrit forums verbally lashing people for stupid ideas about Final Fantasy XI's expansions) but I can honestly say I'm eagerly anticipating this game.

...which is how Roa appears. (gotta love TATARIs) And guess what? You never actually see SHIKI as "himself" in the routes in Tsuki that MB basically goes after. You see his Roa-self. The normal SHIKI he's talking about is only in the Far Side routes. That's why it wouldn't exactly make sense.

Not only does he remember SHIKI in the manga, Shiki only sees Sacchin in the Far Side. He knows about Vermillion Akiha as well, and he only sees her like that on the Far Side. Not only that, following only Arcueid's route, Ciel should be gone as well.

Hmm... good points. However, only one SHIKI can really technically be possible in one timeline. Roa one and just plain old inversed SHIKI. Vampire Satsuki existed in Near Side, and so did Vermillion Akiha. You just didn't see them in them. Oh and Ciel seems to still be around at the end of Arc's route...

Neco Arc Chaos needs more projectiles in AA.  He obviously doesn't have enough range currently.

Neco Arc Chaos needs less randomness on his down down moves.

Well judging from the screenshots Miyako now has Jam's 236K from guilty gear.  And Neco Arc's 22B clones don't disappear when she gets hit, but you CAN hit the clones themselves.  And Mech Hisui has a crouch laser(maybe 236A is crouch 236B is stand? or something).

As for the new Maids, they probably get their whole moveset revamped and get a lot more assist or double-maid-combo moves.

And Neco Arc's 22B clones don't disappear when she gets hit, but you CAN hit the clones themselves.
It looks more like (judging from the positioning of the trio of necos) that she's just getting lasered out of the 63214c (that was the spinning tornado-esque move, right?).

63214C has full invulnerability from start to finish.  And it only has one neco in it.  in the screenshot you can clearly see one neco in the air doing the "jump out of neco arc's mouth" animation.

Judging from the screenshots theyre persistent but attackable, like maid assists(maid does an assist and if you hit the main maid the assist will still attack you but if you hit the assist the backup maid gets knocked out of it).

They probably will still be random, but will be persistent/hittable just like neco arc's, and the deer/crows will behave like nero's versions(won't disappear when you get hit and will be invulnerable).

To be honest I prefer it that way.  If I don't know what I'm going to get next, neither will my opponent, and they'll have to hesitate to avoid jumping facefirst into a deer or a crow or a rocket NAC.

Riesbyfe is an Executioner for the church, like Ciel.  She and Sion were part of an organized group effort to kill Walachia a while before the events of Melty Blood(classic).  Walachia killed everyone in the group, including Riesbyfe(who died saving Sion's life), and then vamped Sion.

Enhance would be cool.  Merem would be broken as all hell though and he isn't really that well suited to fighting anything smaller than a building.  If we had to go with more dead apostles I'd rather see one of the Knights, Trvhm Ortenrosse, or Altrouge though than Merem.  That'd be like throwing ORT out there(who is way out of these people's league, even arcueid would get butchered like cattle against ORT).

Man, I think it's still too early for a new version, but.. oh well, it's looking alright. They better really focus on tweaking those "groove" options.
Honestly though, I really don't see what's the need for making rushdown even stronger by implementing a Guard Meter...

How does it make sense for Roa to be in the game now? From what I understand, the fears originated from the events of Tsukihime. Back then who exactly was suspecting Roa to be the killer? Only Ciel and Arcueid even knew about him before Tsukihime, and Shiki only just about met him in the final confrontations. I don't see him suddenly having the status of Nero or Warc/Nanaya and becoming a fear.

Also, Reize is interesting. Her appearence in V.Sion's Last Arc was a manifestation of Sion's awakening as a Tatari. If now she's a formal character, that could mean that Sion eventually becomes fully Tatari, enough for Reize to become a Fear-like entity. On that note, it'd be interesting to see V.Sion take more of a central spot in the new story and game (and also beef her up a bit please, some of us actually do use her).


Finally, I don't care about the maids, but really.. single-maids are definitely the most redundant characters in the game. If the developers were even considering removing any character redundancy, they'll get rid of the single maids. Like Jux said, they can just keep all the moves/properties and make assists a new motion. We can deal with that, right? -_-
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: Qaenyin November 05, 2007, 06:18:06 PM
Besides, it's not like kohaku lost anything worth complaining about as maids originally, and hisui actually got debatably WORSE as maids than as not, so having them keep their full movelists and making assists 421A/B/C or something wouldn't break anything.

Enhance you really fit in well in the game, I guess he could sorta play like ABA in the idea that his attacks hurt himself, or perhaps if he uses a certain special move, then he is no longer able to use it for a while since he does do significant damage to himself with the gun and sword.  Van Fem and Primate Murder would be really interesting to see in it.

As to the maids, 421 assist sounds perfectly logical. Spammable, attackable Neco clones would suck because of damage proration if you happen to hit the real one as well (the same way it activates when hitting both maids at once during assist - as if that wasn't bad enough).

Huh? If the opponent is dashing towards you while you charge, simply release it before and she is pulled in the edge again.
Doesn't work if it's Nanaya, Warakia or Warc though.

Patching the game?  Just download the most recent patch, put it in the same folder as MBAC and run.  Everything should take care of itself.

: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again

Well, MBAC ran on the NAOMI system, which is essentially a Dreamcast on crack. There were three way games ran on this: Either on a ROM board, from a GD-ROM (the standard Dreamcast disc type), or from some weird-ass satellite thing. MBAC used GD-ROMs. I'm guessing the way patching worked is that they sent a new disc to you.

(on a side note, Wikipedia's list of NAOMI games (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAOMI#List_of_NAOMI_games) has all the MBAC versions down as GD-ROM, yet MBAA is a... ROM board[citation needed]? :psyduck:)

Not sure where these went, but here's the very slow WIP of a translation. >_> Man, the writer adds in a bunch of fluff ((When talking about the Guard gauge and Guard Crash, he says, "Perhaps when [Guard] appears on the screen, the guard gauge decreases. When the guard gauge hits nothing, a Guard Crash occurs, I think.")). If you want everything he says literally translated, tell me, but if just the meaning is fine, that's how I'll be translating it.

Well the reason why I'm asking this is because she's already DEAD
If she IS real, then they should change V Sion's Last Arc.

I know people (myself included) who would be pretty disappointed if they dropped Hisui+Kohaku as a team. Controlling two people at once has a completely different dynamic than playing one at a time. I don't see why they wouldn't just remove Hisui+Kohaku from the team modes again.

But that's just me.

It's kinda fucking stupid that you could spend thousands of dollars for an arcade machine + PCB that may soon be obsolete due to an PC release + online patches. It's also fucking stupid that you might have to wait 6 months or more just to play the most recent arcade version on PC or console because you didn't want to risk thousands of dollars. The companies can only get away with those convoluted ass-backwards distribution models because obsessed nerds shell out for them. Fuck Japan.
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: Qaenyin December 21, 2007, 05:02:21 PM
The reason that they release arcade versions first is because in japan arcades are the major gamer gathering spots.  Arcades in the states are usually crap and dont pull in as much money because people would much rather sit on their couch and play XBox Live.

So, since their target market is japanese, and the largest market would be the arcades(also due to piracy concerns), arcade releases are the best profit.

Game publishers would make more money if anything if they released directly to PC/console rather than arcades, especially if they set up a digital distribution system for their products. The arcades would die off unless they changed their format (net cafes) but sad fucking story if they don't. Without them, more games would be online and have better net-code and it's not like a lack of arcades = a lack of in-person competitive play. The only reason all this hasn't already happened is because big companies with a shit-ton of management layers are slow to change and often the people making decisions don't understand or properly communicate the factors involved to get anything done. The arcade machine/PCB manufacturers are also invested in not being wiped out so they actively convince their clients that their distribution method is the most viable. It's true that arcades are sustainable in Japan but they're really an inferior place for social/competitive gaming compared to the internet, net cafes and people's houses.

I'm sorry to jump in with a flame, but did you honestly think about this before you posted it?  Arcades were the progenitor of competetive gaming.  The internet will always have lag, and the dynamic of fighting games demands an instant experience.  Net cafes offer nothing more than the same problem, while trying to be what an arcade already is.  Houses are nice, but do you meet someone you don't know in your basement?  Do you go to random houses trying to find a match?

Arcades are the place to go to find good, live competition when you don't have it on hand.

: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: Alt December 21, 2007, 07:04:22 PM
If you have less than ~17 ms of ping then online is fine for fighting games. If the games were designed better a higher ping would be fine too. As for net cafes and people's houses, people can play in real-time at those places. The reason arcades are inferior is not connection speeds but the amount of money they cost to operate vs the amount of money they reasonably generate and how they hold back the industry technologically with needlessly and excessively expensive hardware. It's true that they're one of the places competitive gaming originated but they're quickly becoming obsolete. I've been to more gatherings at people's houses and other random events than proper arcades. I've been to more tournaments held on consoles and PCs than arcade hardware. Meeting more players for a game is much easier online and if you NEED the lagless experience it's not difficult to find people in your area and meet with them at a house, net cafe, college rec room, whatever.

I'd be cool if we could see dual releases for future MB games. I really want to play AA, but I know I'll have to wait another 6-8 months plus probably once it comes out in Japan. I know that will happen since I doubt we'll ever get AA in the arcades over here, due to the fact that vB and vB2 bombed here big time.

Actually, if I had the money, I wouldn't mind shelling out $2,000+ to get the game as early as Japan would. I'd have much more fun playing AA than having some tricked out computer to play the latest PC games, anytime I would want to.

Alt, many of your points could be directly applied to the movie theater industry. Why build these huge multiplex theaters with tons of needlessly expensive equipment and stupidly overpriced food when the studios could make more money by simply selling directly to the consumer via DVDs to watch at home? Or maybe they could gather at someone's house to watch it. But people don't always have the equipment to watch it at home, or it's inferior to the theater, or most importantly, they want to enjoy themselves with their friends by going out.

Likewise, arcades have dedicated equipment for the games, provide a convenient socializing spot, and have the highest fidelity for gaming experience (lagless, etc). Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of arcades anymore because of several reasons, one that the AMAA is run by a bunch of retards, there's a serious stigma in city management against issuing game licenses for arcades, most (good)games are created for the Japanese market instead of the American market, and most arcades still operate by charging quarters since it's the most cost-effective way of operating (but also labor-intensive and doesn't allow for incremental changes in pricing to compensate for inflation).

Also, you bring up the superiority of net-cafes as a venue, when it's the net-cafes that one of the most difficult business models to sustain, period. The net-cafe boom of the late 90's/early 2000 era has been obliterated, and us closing Interface in Simi Valley is yet another one that bites the dust. The best net-cafes have the benefit of corporate sponsorship, but that's not something most small businesses can handle.

I also wouldn't want to host 20+ people at my house on a regular basis to sustain a fighting game scene, with the food, drinks, utilities and other accommodations necessary to support that many people. It's far more easier to arrange an event at an arcade since it already has the infrastructure to support large amounts of people, short of renting out a convention center or hotel.

You're absolutely correct on the point that the arcade business model doesn't generate enough profit compared to the cost of operations, though. There's not a whole lot of help or infrastructure for us to advance the system, however.

: asdfqwer January 01, 2008, 09:11:12 PM
   The arcades that is viewed in US is different than the one viewed in Japan other Asian nations that are the primary imports of Japanese fighting game making companies. US arcade is viewed as a place inside a movie theater or a bowling alley that is mostly empty and is $0.75+ per game. Asia: crowded place where people watch, cheer, challenge each other, and play with $0.10~$0.20 per game.
 
   Plus, if they release a pc port at the same time, they would profit a ~little~ more in US as US will buy software once released regardless of whether it was released simultaneously with the arcade version or not, while losing the entire South Korean market, which is pretty big. Do you play with an official MBAC bought from Japan? If so, that's great, but 99% of South Koreans won't do that. It's safe to say that after MBAC for pc has been released, 99.999999999% + or - .000000001% has downloaded it rather than buying it.  :V

   Also, I have played in arcades at South Korea for a long time, wasted so much money :toot:. But I can say this for sure: it sure beats any online battles. Any game, even something like fps that are played mostly online, are a hell of a lot more fun when played in the same room. Rather than talking over headsets, yelling at people and pumping your fist after a win is more exhilarating.

P.S. Yeah, arcades cannot generate enough profit, but it's impossible to change its structure. Net Cafe's cannot provide any of the arcade experience as the policy of net cafe's are to be quiet so as to not bother people who are just trying to check e-mails.

Edit: Oh yeah, I screwed up my sentence structure. I meant that 99.99999% of Koreans didn't officially buy it. The entire Korean pc package game industry died out in SK as everyone downloaded them illegally.

Hi all!
My opinion: the best is PS2. Most ppl now use sticks or joypads rather than keyboards (there are sticks that can port to PS2 etc). PS2 is also make the no lagg game, so you can enjoy it 100%. Plus on PS2 you can play with the 2-2 matches at once cuz there is a Multitap that generates +4 slots. So 4 ppl can enjoy the game at once. And 2 PS2's are the best, so even 4-8 ppl (group of friends) can enjoy the game. The only requirement is a house where they can gather. But this is a problem that solvable I think.

About Arcade:
Sure arcade places are also best for gatherings and challanges. For me it's the 2nd best idea for getting some good games. The only "bad" thing for me is the stick, I really can't play with them...I have no talent for playing with them (but that's me). I prefer joypad or keyboard.

Not too hot about the three different styles though. Hopefully it gets implemented well and the differences are pronounced enough. For the half-moon style... hope it's just for players to get used to the system (probably will only have limited combos) and not something people will stick to.

Man, that reconstructed sprite is great work. You're even showing it off in png form! I love tracers who do that.

Moving on, according to this (http://www.akiba-ch.com/?p=419), it looks like Melty Blood: Actress Again didn't get a showing at the same place (AOU) games like Street Fighter 4, Blazblue, and Arcana Heart 2 were being shown off of at. Quoting the page:

: Akihabara Channel
I was sad to find the sign at the Sega booth that said, “Melty Blood Actress Again presentation canceled because it still needs development.” >.< I think their website changed the release date to 2008 summer too. On the other side was a surprisingly long line waiting for the Purikura machines.

Along with the picture:

Oh yeah, also from that page:

I also took a quick look at the Sega prize booth, and it said there’re some Melty Blood Act Cadenza figures coming out in the summer, with characters in swimsuits! The confirmed characters are Arcueid, Ciel, and Sion. Mmm.. Sion sounds good~

Hi all!
My opinion: the best is PS2. Most ppl now use sticks or joypads rather than keyboards (there are sticks that can port to PS2 etc). PS2 is also make the no lagg game, so you can enjoy it 100%. Plus on PS2 you can play with the 2-2 matches at once cuz there is a Multitap that generates +4 slots. So 4 ppl can enjoy the game at once. And 2 PS2's are the best, so even 4-8 ppl (group of friends) can enjoy the game. The only requirement is a house where they can gather. But this is a problem that solvable I think.

About Arcade:
Sure arcade places are also best for gatherings and challanges. For me it's the 2nd best idea for getting some good games. The only "bad" thing for me is the stick, I really can't play with them...I have no talent for playing with them (but that's me). I prefer joypad or keyboard.

Relunx

for most fighting games I would have to say the PS2. For MBAC in particular, computers are the way to go just shove in an adapter for putting in whatever stick you want, and If you are a sneeky devil with an overpowered compy running duel booting linux with wine, and windows, and duel screens *Im just missing the overpowered compy part when I try this they both run at 40-45fps* you can play 2 versions of MBAC at the same time on different screens hahahaha.

: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: 4r5 February 28, 2008, 01:53:36 AM
http://www.gametap.com/home/read/article/4260

GameTap: This year is going to be absolutely huge for fighting games. There's not only your game, but Arc System Works has BlazBlue, SNK has a fantastic-looking game in King of Fighters 2008, the new Melty Blood looks great--and that's just to name a few. My question to you is where do you believe Street Fighter IV fits in? And by any chance is there a new fighter coming out that you're interested in?

Yoshinori Ono: As far as the role that Street Fighter IV is going to play in this fighting game renaissance that we're seeing, your instinct might be to assume that we think that we're the leader of this group, but we don't necessarily feel that way. What we've seen with Street Fighter are all these amazing creators throughout the series that have created this great platform for everyone to build from. There hasn't been a Street Fighter game in a while, and so this base has been shrinking and so the genre itself has become more narrow as a result.

So we don't think of ourselves as the top, but as the base and we're once again trying to broaden that platform. And if we can bring other fighting games up with us--if we can help Guilty Gear become a better game or get more people playing Melty Blood and get fighting games back into the mainstream--then I think we'll truly have a renaissance and we'd be more than satisfied at that point.

We don't want to march out on the playground and beat everyone else up. We want everyone to have fun.

As far as games that I want to play, Soul Calibur IV is definitely at the top. I've played all the other games in the series but I haven't gotten a chance to play this one yet. I've only seen the trailers and screenshots, so my curiosity is definitely piqued.

There you go. It looks great. Get more people to play it.

No way, if they were carrying it over to a new format they'd probably start from scratch or at LEAST massively rebuild the game, like the new KoF and blazblue. MBAA is introducing a lot of new shit but the core gameplay engine, features, and sprites look the exact same, there's no way they'd take the effort of porting that over to a new system rather than doing a full upgrade to the whole game.
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: Twinniss February 29, 2008, 11:01:50 AM
theres alot of good reasons for putting it on Taito Type X2

first one being naomi emulation

2nd one being sega no longer sells gd-roms

3rd being join the bandwagon and switch to taito type x2

oh and it dont have to play differently if its on something else, just look at MS6 and atomiswave, that switch didnt change the core game play much

also id think a pc based arcade board would be easier to make patches for than naomi(i may be wrong)

: Twinniss March 11, 2008, 03:42:15 PM
-.- wow what drugs you on, cause i wanna get on some of that.

sega no longer sells gd-roms, that means ecole/TM/F-B must use roms to run it on naomi, roms don't have that much storage on them in general and if the game is too much, it will have to use two roms to run the game. two roms to run the game means your gonna have to pay more

You're seriously underestimating how much this game would cost on Naomi vs typeX2. Naomi hardware by itself still goes for $400 to $500 and this game on a cart versus the now out of production gd-rom = painful.

Personally I'm hoping they will use the examu hardware which is dirt cheap.
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: Maho March 27, 2008, 06:35:24 PM
Naomi board is actually really cheap by itself, it becomes more pricey like you said only if you add the GD rom drive and the dimm board needed to play GD games, but this game on a naomi cartridge is pretty unlikely to happen as the rom is 168Mo max.

And this is A-OK! I don't want a fighting game with pantyshots. This is why I don't like DoA.

No but the quality of her artwork succeeds over the other artworks. I mean, look at the retarded Shiki face + hair. Or the GAY Nanaya. I mean, he always seemed gay, but now he's GAY! =(

Man, with the very weak net that I have I sat down and read every last post on all 16 of these pages @_@ But Ive learned so much, I laughed at some comments, I  :slowpoke: at some of retarded reasons why AA is being held up, I  :fap: at the awesome artwork for AA and I even  :prinny: when I found out about Ex Ciel and I  :emo: everytime I looked at the guard gauge in the scans but overall Im still pretty hyped up for the game when it comes out. Im really curiously happy about the different normals Arcueid might get since Ive been using the same ones for years, But I was happy to see Miyako got something new in this installment and that she can end off her air combos with something other than a throw, I use to play Jam until AC and she got majorly braindead and made me  :'( but I might pick Miyako up in this game if a friend doesnt just so I can see her get screen time  :V But keep it up guys :toot:

Well I would hope for it, but for some reason..I have an intense feeling of..doubt.>,>

I wonder if its because they just did the standard arcade thing, for the rest of them pretty much.

But I wonder if there will be special intros? ???

Or maybe i'm just wishing for too much. :-\It would be better then having Akiha shake her fist at random Kohaku players all dayXD.

In Story Mode, if planned, yes. In VS Mode I would rather not have an intro all the time. Btw, didn't one scan say something about "New Nasu story" etc?

Style selection isn't big? If they take care to balance the styles, characters could be very different between styles and people would have to learn their character with that specific style, exponentially increasing the number of "characters."

I have a feeling the style-system won't do anything extraordinary to the general gameplay even if it gives more flexibility.

asked my japanese speaking friend

<tgies> it's uh
<tgies> crescent moon style: speed and combo-based style for the experienced player who values mobility. attacks have short reaches something something I can't read. shield, ccccccccontinuation?, avoidance, reversal
<tgies> full moon style: new style based on POWER and HEAVY ATTACKS
<tgies> uhhh I don't really understand this it's something specific to the game
<tgies> some shit about the "gauge" being increased
<tgies> with "A+B+C"
<Sabator> what's waxing moon about
<Sabator> i'd heard rumours it was an easier style for beginners
<tgies> yes halfmoon style says
<tgies> half moon style: easy style with some aspects simplified
<tgies> and it uh
<tgies> has such features as
<tgies> auto free
<tgies> like uh
<tgies> apparently automatically escaping from grabs? or something?
<Sabator> Whoa
<Sabator> what the fuck are they doing to my meltan gaems
<tgies> "reverse beat"
<tgies> "auto spark"
<Sabator> oh reverse beat is chaining weak attacks after strong ones, you get a damage penalty
<tgies> that's literal it has those words written in katakana
<Sabator> auto spark...i guess that means circuit spark happening automatically
<Sabator> the stuff about the guage being increased in crescent moon, can you spot a reference to "heat" or "blood heat" there?
<tgies> no
<Sabator> alright well thanks anyway
<tgies> i can't read some of that bullshit but I googled what I could read and found a transcription of it
<tgies> http://www.attomaimai.sakura.ne.jp/ dis shit
<tgies> yeah it doesn't mention blood heat or anything at all

babelfish translation(followed by my thoughts)

“Crescent wrench moon style” speed subject, for experience person of [konbo] and mobility concern style. Other than the reach of skill of part becomes short, in the specification which it can fight in the feeling which is close to former efficiency. The sealed continuous long [me], there is an avoiding and reverse beat. The new style where “full moon style” power subject, it keeps applying heavy attack securely. In like another [kiyara] [kiyara] where efficiency has changed…? With A+B+C gauge accumulating possibility. There is a sealed counter. The simple style where operation “of half moon style” part is simplified. It is easy to handle even in the beginner, but sense is needed for operation for simple reason. Automatic operation release and reverse beat, there is an o toss park. There is no half moon, probably will be,… as for [otosupaku] assuming that still it becomes somehow, as for automatic operation release it becomes in only the death flag as for the full moon the kana due to gauge recovery speed. It is rather painful there is no [ribabi],…

(These are my GUESSES as to what they are looking like)

1) speed style will be like what we have now, only maybe less range on attacks.  Might be the only one with dodge("avoiding")
2) power style will have no reverse beat and require charging meter with abc.  Might be the only one with shield bunkers("sealed counter").  Might have super armor or better clashing or something.
3) simple style...I can't really tell.  It looks like it wasn't implemented yet("There is no half moon, probably will be"..."assuming that still it becomes somehow").

From what I can tell, "automatic operation release" means to go into max/heat mode automatically(like now at 300% into max).  So this means that your meter stays at 300% and you have to manually activate now(outside of simple).  I'm guessing anything under a certain amount leads to heat and over leads to blood heat.  The death flag part seems to be hinting that you have to have to be hurt a certain amount before it happens automatically in simple style.

Auto-spark would be bad, would be called auto-baited.  There has to be something to it.

I love Hyperwords. :3 I re-translated the article at http://www.alpha-st.co.jp/column/clm_138.html with Hyperwords and learned a bit more because of it.

""The SEGA private Shaw 2008 spring" was held in Kamata from today. 《主語なし》From the series most new work "the アスコット garden" the etc., June of this year through September of the cancer shooting game "RAMBO" and masterpiece horse race medal game that a/the location test was carried out the other day the new work game of an/the appearance plan comes out and was done an/the exhibition it is ("アスコット garden" of launching time wa undecided). 《主語なし》I think that even the middle wants to do the introduction of "MELTY BLOOD Actress Again" of エコール software that became the first audience this time this time. 《主語なし》But, please acknowledge it, because it is not able to convey for details, because I am almost amateur for a/the player regarding detailed game contents. The series most new work of the arcade version "MELTY BLOOD Act Cadenza" of the match grapple game that makes the game software "the month princess" for a/the personal computer a/the theme is appearance finally. Although a/the minor change has been carried out several degrees since launching as for this made the new system and substantial version up are carried out to a new character. About half of 12 characters the new character of attention were able to use it, during 21 characters that 2 characters of "Mikhail Lorr Vandam ヨォン" and "リーズバイフェ ストリンドヴァリ" are being added and start "リーズバイフェ" in a/the Shaw meeting place and at present be announced. The new 必殺 technique, new action are added to a conventional character of course. The even the addition of the direction and new stage greatly seem to be carried out before a new battle in addition. There are 2 of the possibility style selections that select "guard crash" and game system to a new system. "The guard crash gauge" is added in department on a/the screen, with the system that "the guard crash" is adopted well even the conventional match grapple game. Another piece is the selection of a style. 《主語なし》It is possible a/the selection from the following 3 styles. "A/the crescent moon style" speed nucleus, it is the style for the man of experience of a/the combo and mobility esteem. The exception that the Leach of a part of technique is short to the specification that are able to fight with the sense close to conventional performance. 《主語なし》I avoid shield continuation long め, and there is a reverse beat. The new style that is going to hit "a/the full moon style" power nucleus, heavy attack certainly. Middle into different character like performance sbj changing is character even..? the a the who The possibility that accumulate a/the gauge with A+B+C. There is the shield counter. The simple style that "a/the half moon style" part of operation was simplified. 《主語なし》The sense is necessary to operation to obtain simple ゆ, although I am easy to treat it to a/the beginner. There are an automatic release, reverse beat, auto spark. 《主語なし》It assumed that it selects it from 3 styles, after become a character selection screen and a/the character is selected, when a/the game begins. 《主語なし》After that selecting the color (36 colors) of a/the character it becomes a play start. Even the illustration at the time of the story and character selection are renewed. Even "a/the month princess" a/the fan seems to be able to have fun, because a/the story is the newly written story by "the 奈須 mushroom" him of "TYPE-MOON". 《主語なし》It is attention of "Takeuchi 崇" he original picture to the character image that became new. 《主語なし》It is handy to an operator, because the use hardness is "a NAOMI ROM board". Even that be corresponding to the monitor of the conventional 4:3 ratio be a point. The price is undecided yet. Launching time is likely to become that it applies in this autumn from this summer. Official launching time, launching day are decided and introduce with details, this homepage. Please wait for a while. 《主語なし》It is thought that there is a sense of security, because it becomes the series most new work of the work that sees the shop that is operating also in the present when passed for more than 1 year from the launching of "Ver. B2" that became the last minor change a lot. 《主語なし》I think that I am easy to introduce it, because a/the version up version is possible even the income expectation of some extent, although a/the 2D match grapple game, are launched numerously this year and many titles be a launching plan yet from now on. As for this made does not it becomes to a steady title, because the work of the complete new work that was launched in recent years sees that is having a tough race a lot, although it is a problem even to have relied tentatively sequel ば? 《主語なし》It is 4:3.."

What was most worth noting to me is the statement that the release date has been pushed back from summer to autumn. I had a feeling that would happen, so I'm not too upset. The more time they get to put into this game, the better. ^^

yeah, what you got actually helped at least a bit. although just sort of waiting for someone who's really comfortable with japanese to at least summarize everything while taking out all the extra crap we already know and don't need (i would say hellmonkey but he's more likely to translate random doujins on request than translate stuff for mashyblood). it's just annoying to be looking at several walls of engrish and then GUESSES at what they could mean. i mean shit, you could have at least just linked the original source and the translator and then your thoughts instead of gigantic excerpt.

anyway, on a more related note, nice to see that they're keeping most of the levels, MBAA is gonna have a really large amount of levels by the end unless they scrap a ton of the existing ones. also, i'm wondering about the guard meter....it seems these guys have full guard meters but what happened to the japanese being totally blocky-blocky-patient? maybe the guard meter recharges....fairly fast? this might mean you could only really break it with strong pressure games or massive blockstrings that aren't easily bunkerable (i can see aoko breaking tons regardless if this is true or not lol) also yay EVERYONE is using ries and magic circuit font is back to blue, the true color of MB ;o

I think about the guard crash like the one used in Garou MotW. It makes the opponent unplayable for one second, then refills instantly again. If you crushed the guard with the strong style and an attack that hasn't a fast recovery, it's totally useless and both start from 0. If it's going to be like that, then it's rather useless.

From: http://www.attomaimai.sakura.ne.jp/
フルムーンはゲージ回復速度によるかな。リバビないのがかなり痛い・・・

I wouldn't trust my horrible Japanese skills, and Iro doesn't want her name to be associated with this translation. Oops. Anyways:
Full Moon gauge increase is quite fast. Lack of Reverse Beat really hurts.

o_O;; Hopefully that's a problem with our translation... No reverse beats with Full Moon style? It would make people learn different combos, though, since Full Moon could take advantage of whiff-cancels, etc. while Crescent has to try to keep their prorate as low as possible.

The two of us are slowly digging through the other articles. :3 I'll report back if we find anything good.

EDIT 1: Yes, no ReBeat with Full Moon. Looks like tgies beat me, though. I'll try to clarify some stuff, since I understand the game.
Crescent Moon: Held shield, Dodge, ReBeat.
Full Moon: A+B+C gauge "recovery" or "stocking up." ((X3 Not just red life, but red circuit? Just kidding. It probably just means Steel Arcana-style recovery. ~Iro)) "Some characters have extra. Ability transformation as well?" ((Very vague here, but I doubt it means anything like what I translated it to.)) It can also be read, "Different characters change abilities," so maybe Full Moon is the only way to do some of the things like Nero's bull, etc. Shield counter.
Half Moon: "Good sense is required!" Grab escape, ReBeat, Auto-spark.

By the way, the full name of "Heat Activation" is 強制開放, but I don't know the slang term.

EDIT 2: Still "only" 36 colors. It's on a Naomi ROM board. *Yawn~* We're off to play MHP2G. If anyone has any more sites besides the above and http://www.alpha-st.co.jp/column/clm_138.html , please link us~

I still want it clarified whether "no rebeat" means that you cannot chain heavy attacks attacks into weaker ones at all, or it means you don't get a penalty for doing it.

I think it's safe to assume this will be coming out on PC, much like the games before it. Question is, will this come out on consoles and which?

I hope this game is balanced with the different styles of play. It would suck if there was one particular style that would be dominant, making the others irrelevant. Though I doubt we'll ever see half-moon style in high level play. But you'll never know.

The way the writer wrote, I doubt that it means that you can't ReBeat, since that wouldn't come into play if you were just doing normal combos. I think it just means you don't incur a damage penalty.

I, on the other hand, think that it DOES mean you can't Reverse Beat.  They have stronger attacks and more range than the crescent moon style as it is, so hindering their ability to whiff cancel and such gives them at least one disadvantage to balance out those advantages.  Giving them no penalty for reverse beating would make them too good, and French Bread has been pretty good about balance so far so I'm pretty sure they wouldn't unbalance the styles so much.

Yeah, French Bread is great about balancing. However, I still think that there's some other disadvantage than losing the ability outright. I will admit that maybe the author mistook damage due to Full Moon power-up as lack of rebeats, though.

I'm heading to Japan this summer, on my way to Taiwan. I'm only there for two days, though, but if I can find my way to a nearby arcade with AA, I'll be sure to clear this all up! =3

>_> The place I'm visiting is nowhere near Akihabara, though... I wish I could take a bullet train there. -_-;;

Ugh, off to bed.
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: Dragonthorn May 21, 2008, 02:26:13 AM
No damage penalty when you ReBeat is sounds kinda broken to me. That's what everyone will use if that's the case since the features of Crescent moon style are more situational compared to the possible cumulative damage and Magic Circuit generation. But oh well we won't know till the actual game comes out.

First they are NEcos not Neco-Arcs (no offence, just proving a point) but Neco-Arc (origional) is neco Arcueid while neco-arc chaos should be called just neco chaos...  Why is he Neco-ARC Chaos?? :mystery:

No it's actually meant to be Neco Arc Chaos. Notice how it still has the Arcuied outfit with a top+dress and still has the same length hair as Neco Arc. If they wanted Neco Chaos it would look different, with an actual coat and a face that looks different from Neco Arc.

Im afraid of the day they program Ciel every time she has meter and you do an attack that will take just 1 frame to long, to do 236C all over your face then combo after it.  Cause I have a feeling that a well programed compy could make Hiero even gayer than it is right now.  Bunker Canceled Hiero *shudders at thought

Reminds me of a guy who created an unstoppable AI for a certain character in MUGEN for an Arcana char, always did BnBs and wutever you she would pin you back into the BnB combos...unstoppable...

the problem I had with mugen is the overwhealming number of 10:0 or 9:1 matchups in the game, which still kept it fun but if you wanted to play against humans it was almost a joke.  but I forgot abou mugen some ppl made some damn good AIs.

3D fighters have pretty decent AIs soulcali on highest difficulty is pretty good, VF5 compies are really hard on highest difficult and will BnB you and they know block strings and all sorts of stuff.

=\  Console ports make it harder to update with patches and bug-fixes as time goes by though.  Also, console port will most likely mean no saving/sharing replays or netplay.  Netplay is the biggest reason why MB is thriving now more than ever.  I dunno about you, but I wouldn't want that to be taken away from us.

ok, have no idea if this has been up for discussion or anything before, but being in japan for 2 weeks so far Im too lazy reading myself up to date on the topic. Since we were on a AA location test today and spectated the game for some time as well as having the staff jump me for taking photos and forcing me to remove them from my camera we have maybe(?) a bit new info about AA anyhow!

First of all just a general thought on AA that I noticed looking at loadingscreens/char selects etc. it seems AA is played out in the mind of sion calculating different TATARI scenarios.

It would explain alot of wierd terms etc. used in the loading screens as well as I see a hint of a foreign language that I do not fully recognize. Could be sions original language or some moon speak that has been made up. How ever it is quite likely since there are characters like rizbyfe that really dont have too much connction to the TATARI story line since she would never be summoned as TATARI, at least I dont see any reason for it...

Im too lazy to try to remeber what else we saw but Im gonna paste a list from mb.se that Amn wrote:

: Amn
Info so far, edit if I remember more... This keyboard has broken spacebar...
Amn, puKKa and Hippish attended locationtest day 2 inOsaka.
General
Gravity has more impact,less floaty.
3 Styles gives different moves.
Activation can be cancled.
Bigger stages, spacing seems to work better.
EX block, executes like instant block, negates guard bar damage.
Combos are tighter to execute.

Character specific (didnt see all characters; vAkiha, Roa, tag team and errr, 1/2 more were unplayable, we lacked time and didnt see every character)
Over all changes, every character has changed very much.
Listing those I can remember at the moment. Everyone has A LOT of new moves, and almost every old one seems to have changed properties.

Sacchin
Grab changed, jumping and grab now.
New A attacks replaced old ones in some stances, shorter range I think...
Can't do the old EX combo anymore.
Has an overhead

Tohno Shiki
Has teleport, seems like grabs BACKWARDS after some version (think it was B)
Can EX srk (editor: spark?) in the air.

Sion
Whiff seems to combo less or not at all when linked from other moves.
Has 13 shots, shots have greater range and shoots forward.
SRK seems to work a little worse.

V.Sion
Has faster summons.
Has midscreen summons, including EX Ciel that throws black keys.
Has a "drill"eterlite.

Nomore time, moretomorrow or something...

Edit: I (bas) accidentally removed some stuff about Kouma and Kohaku during editing apparently, I'll try to add all I know/got:

Kouma 's 5c is one hit and 5b can be charged but whiffs crouchers.
Kohaku: Something about throwing katana and being able to combo from command throw.

thats update one but Ill try to write what I remember myself later.

: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: YuenSan July 06, 2008, 06:42:23 AM
Aside from wut Amn wrote, all i know from wiki is that:

All characters now feature 3 different fighting styles, known as Full Moon Style(Power), Crescent Moon Style(Speed) and Waning Moon Style(Simple). More announcements and improvements have yet to be revealed. An odd omission from the character select screen is the lack of Hisui(solo), Kohaku(solo), Neco-Arc and Neco-Arc Chaos, despite a screenshot featuring a new attack for Neco-Arc.

    * Three different versions of each character, including new moves for each,
    * Larger stages, including both new and alternate versions of stages from Act Cadenza,
    * A Guard meter which depletes upon blocked attacks and results in a 'Guard Crash' vulnerability state upon depletion,
    * Aerial Circuit Sparks (Only available in certain Moon Styles).
-wiki

Hope someone tried out Roa and Reez and got good info

Not that I can think of it being useful, but an air reversal is interesting =]

I couldn't understand very well Sacchin's changes, but it seems that she was toned down very much x.x

Shion was toned down very much too x.x

VShion seems much more interesting now =]

Great news guys. Please keep us updated =]
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: puKKa July 06, 2008, 07:08:45 AM
Okey, so I took some time and wrote a bit more. Well I guess this will be it for a while if we done come up with more later :P

Guard break:
Few second stun, you can pretty much go to the other side of the cabinet laugh at your opponent, go back and then do a combo even if youre no ninja. No other effects that I noticed. Guard break -> stun -> full guard bar again

Characters unplayable at location test: Roa, Twins, V.Akiha, Nero

Generally it seems ALL 2/5A attacks have been modified and most attacks seem to have shorter range.

Whiff-cancels looked alot less effective and didnt look to really give that mush of advantage anymore.

Warc:
Has a new attack that looks like Mystic Eyes. Effect unknown, was spammed by one player but had short range(EX-version as well) but got blocked once as well. It looks quite evil though :3
Old basic bnb works fine.

Kohaku:
Can throw small knifes.
5C seems to be able to be split into multiple parts. Shaft-stab, then spin. So if it whifs recovery time isnt too great.
jB range and animation remade, much shorter range.
Seems to have a counter-attack where she opens the sheat of her broom quickly and it blings.
5B gimped. 2A gimped.

Aoko:
Full-screen beam missile, animation looked crap but was fast and looked very annoying.

Ciel:
Has a new move, lookes like nanayas 236A/B/C and the whole crowd laughed at it when they saw it :P
Can throw three black keys up into the air.
Seems to have some wierd EX-move that lookes like it starts of like her bunker and then adds a few hits.

V.Sion:
Summons looks like spiderweb, so now we have spidergirl in the cast! /cheer
Midscreen summons, as well as something that looked like a feint midscreen summon that also hit.
6B overhead had a totally new animation with a backflip and it looked quite cool.

Sion:
214C does not grab anything that is not blocking anywhere on the damn screen. Same goes for the rest of the 214-attacks.
Got a straight shooting gun attack. not very far range.

And finally for something totally different, MBAC tournament in Akiba, Tokyo. Me and Amn participated, first matchup Jin and K2. We dieded by the SBO qualifiers. Im happy ;P

Is there any news about the 3 styles? Have you guys tried to check the difference between them? o.o
And we demand tests on Reeze /o/

An odd omission from the character select screen is the lack of Hisui(solo), Kohaku(solo), Neco-Arc and Neco-Arc Chaos, despite a screenshot featuring a new attack for Neco-Arc.
There are news screenshots that shows both maids separately. And nothing about Neco Arc. And Neco Chaos is only extra at MBAC Ver.B PC

Updated it again,last night was really stressfull because of the hostel cerfew.Changes can be found here.

Iam not done with the list, its just that I have to pay to use a comp now, soI dontwant to do it allin 1 sitting...expasnive.

Edit: Tag team,chaos v.akiha,roa,nekos were unplayable.
We were only there for a littlemore then an hour,noone played certain characters like Rieze, Hisui, rens etc...

Dunno if it depended on style, but people charged their magic curcuit (think it aws D and something else...or abc, didnt see clearly, sorry).Its (almost) all in there... but this little change was worth being mentioned if you ask me. Game seems less floaty.

Changes from http://gamechariotkaqn.ti-da.net/e2240257.html as translated by Tropsy:

Half Moon: [22:43] <nonotan> max bar is 200%, heat at 200% (with charge like full moon), if you get hit in heat IT DOES CIRCUIT SPARK AUTOMATICALLY, no blood heat, only ex shields, if your ex shield is successful you counterattack automatically (both on the ground and in the air), you can't ex guard? dunno wtf that even means

 Full Moon: [22:38] <nonotan> in full moon: you can't reverse beat, you can't dodge, with a+b+c or Q you do a "power charge", many changes in normals and specials

Crescent Moon: <nonotan> crescent moon = similar to old mbac, except there's an AERIAL DODGE

nonotan: arc's 214b now lets you choose options depending on the button you press for the second attack
nonotan: a: teleport behind them, b: like her 4b now, probably for combo use, c: the current one

[23:15] <nonotan> sacchin apparently has a head slice with 3c
23:15] <nonotan> what's she now, potemkin?
[23:15] <nonotan> slide*"
nonotan: sacchin's 623b is chargable
[23:17] <nonotan> sacchin's 623a now goes immediately above her
[23:19] <nonotan> sacchin's new 421 (let's assume it's 421, I don't even want to think about 241) is apparently napalm stretch (Clark DP)

nonotan: ciel gets an aerial version of her 623
nonotan: ciel airthrow techable
nonotan: ciel loses her HEEL OVERHEAD
swwwrlol: ciel loses shield cancel on her 5cc

[22:52] <nonotan> also seems reduce timing is now less severe
nonotan: all voices have been rerecorded, and aoko's dead message's intonation is now different

[23:21] <nonotan> in crescent moon warakia loses his nails in 5a and 2a
warakia now has an aerial 236
nonotan: apparently it can be used like akiha's tk 236
nonotan: AERIAL SUMMONS

[23:24] <nonotan> vsion gets warakia's 22
[23:24] <nonotan> if vsion's 22 hits [23:25] <nonotan> the opponent flies towards you [23:25] <nonotan> in before 22 loop
vsion gets sion's j.214

[23:26] <nonotan> miyako's j.b now is a kick
[23:26] <nonotan> ... but still hits both sides

nonotan: arc's 214b now lets you choose options depending on the button you press for the second attack
nonotan: a: teleport behind them, b: like her 4b now, probably for combo use, c: the current one
<nonotan> arc's 4b is now 4c
[23:07] <nonotan> says in full moon pretty much all her normals change and "6b and 4c are removed" (lol wut 6b)
[23:09] <nonotan> says in full moon arc's 236 becomes that (reppuken)
[23:10] <nonotan> seems the ex version of it is like warc's 236b

Full moon sounds interesting, with the restriction on reverse beating and ability to charge up super.  Seems like people will be doing a lot more small combos into EXs.

Crescent moon air dodge, LOL.  Also, I'm surprised at the inclusion of EX guard, but in a good way.  Sounds like Just Defend, cept negates guard damage instead of gaining some health.  Do both Crescent and Full have the ability to EX guard?

: Sh1k1 July 07, 2008, 03:38:53 PM
Considering only special moves do chip damage, since normal attacks won't reduce health, am I to suppose that what EX Guard does is negate that chip damage from special, EX, and Arc Drive moves?

Have you already forgotten that there is a guard gauge now?  If you just sit blocking all day, you'll get guard broken and eat a free combo.  EX guarding shit prevents any damage to the guard gauge.

heh maybe ex guard will also give more meter as well(or make it like Guilty Gear and increase the amount of meter you gain when you gain meter).

but god that block bar is gonna be a nuisance, is there any confirmation that the gauge is refilled when not blocking.

unfortunately this whole idea of having the guard bar is gonna be pretty much, "if you don't learn how to instant block, you can't make it to the top leagues (unless your constantly on an offense, lol MBAC vakiha)

I would imagine "less floaty" means characters fall faster - thereby making air combos harder.  Your guess is as good as mine though.

And don't worry.  The getting hit in Heat leading to auto spark is only if you're playing in Half moon style - AKA noob mode.

The combos might be harder but faster falling means a higher chance of complex combos involving landing on the ground and stuff, that would be great :D   .
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: Dragonthorn July 10, 2008, 11:35:35 PM
I imagine heavier characters would make some combos easier to execute, i.e. VSion's BnB (where the dj gets kinda tricky and more often you'd need to settle for a less damaging alternate); Shiki's 5a whiff.

But then, all this is just speculation.

Early screenshots showed Roa using lightning attacks.  Roa used lightning in the manga as well.  I'd say it's safe to assume that Roa uses lightning.
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: V-Kattou July 12, 2008, 08:47:02 PM
Also Roa was a magus specialised in lightning spells before he became the reincarnator (which made him loose alot of power). He also, as the original Death Apostle Roa, had a reality marble, that'd turn all his lightning spells into EX rank.

How he's regained his power in AA is the big question :slowpoke:
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: LoliSauce July 12, 2008, 11:17:21 PM
Well, he still has all of his knowledge in spells as he ever did, but his current level of magical power is solely determined on the potential of the body he's in.  It's just that he hasn't ever found a human body that he could reincarnate into that could equal his original body's potential.  His original body was almost unequaled in magical power.  IIRC, he beat down Altrouge single handedly, which is quite a feat.  I think the body he has in AA is his original body, so it should be pretty awesome (even just being a TATARI, which I'm sure he is).

And yeah, wasn't his Reality Marble called Square or something?  I mainly just remember how it supercharged his spells, doubling their power.

You know, despite Ryougi being just another Shiki, Touko would be pretty fucking cool and original.  She could have a lot of interesting ether projection attacks involving her briefcase, rune inscription attacks, or substitution/summon stuff involving her clone-like puppets.  It'd be pretty badass.

Yeah, but he probably means that the Roa'd SHIKI is the SHIKI showing up in near moon routes. Guess there's a theory, that the original Roa looked different from that one.

It's kinda obvious that he's a TATARI I'd say. Perhaps Arcueid's being anxious about Roa getting a body with potential near his original (but wouldn't Ciel's body count as that, since it has an insane amount of magic circuits?)

I think the body he has in AA is his original body, so it should be pretty awesome (even just being a TATARI, which I'm sure he is).
It looks like the Roa'd SHIKI from Tsukihime to me, so I think the TATARI is of just that.
Isn't SHIKI white haired with shorter hair though?
Yeah, but the Roa'd SHIKI from the near side routes (Arc, Ciel) looks just like the one in AA.
My bad.  You're absolutely right.  I'm just on crack.

Yeah, I think Roa's Noble-- I mean, Marble Phantasm was called Square.
What?

You mean Reality Marble, not Marble Phantasm.

Reality Marbles are a subclass of Marble Phantasms, aren't they? But eh, I don't care; you're probably more right than I am. Too much Type-MOON terminology, not enough AA footage. =\

That's correct. Marble Phantasms can simply raise a 1% chance happening to a 100% chance. If there was absolutely NO chance of the event happening, the Marble Phantasm can do nothing to change that. Reality Marbles can break this restriction.

: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: Relunx August 04, 2008, 12:15:53 PM
I collected all the infos of MBAA that are wrote in the mIRC log and from another site:
Edit: most of the changes are belongs to CRESCENT MOON style.
Common:
 - no reverse beat if u whiffed airthrow in the air
 - air throw whiff animation for everybody = no more option select airthrows
 - there's an ex-guard (like tension guard in GG): blocking at last moment
 - ex guard seems to lower blockstun a ton
 - air dodge
 - air circuit spark exists
 - stages significantly larger
 - shielding and whiffing makes it change colour
 - RB PENALTY EXISTS AND indicator appears (like just above your meter bar)
 - sprite quality didn't go up
 - background quality go up
 - also they used alot of new effects, new font
 - the characters say similar things
 - same colors (36)
 - when you pick your char you select your mode if you win you continue with that mode vs cpu, cpu seem to always be crescent atm BUT if you get challenged again you can switch modes but keep the char/colour
 - blocking crossup moves is same as in MBAC
 - bunker works as normal
 - bara might still in
 - they removed the char specfic intros (full version might contains it)
 - Gravity has more impact,less floaty
 - Activation can be cancled
 - Combos are tighter to execute
 - Clashes changed animation
 - Whiff cancel gimped, still works, just not as good
 - every character has changed very much
 - everyone has new moves, and changed properties
 - Guard break: Few second stun, then full guard bar again
 - Generally it seems ALL 2/5A attacks have been modified and most attacks seem to have shorter range

Crescent Moon:
 - MBAC ver.c pretty much
 - new moves
 - aerial dodge
 - aerial circuit spark

Full Moon:
 - new MBAA mode
 - NO reverse beat
 - Only Blood Heat
 - heat is chargeable
 - moves animated differently
 - no dodge

Half Moon:
 - Hybrid/Newbie mode
 - auto things (auto shield/spark/moves activates auto etc.)
 - max heat = 200% (no Blood Heat)
 - moves like it's BASED on full moon moveset
 - some people have different movesets (different from crescent, except for the basic moves)
 - no normal shield only EX shields
 - when you EX shield succesfully, your character automatically does a counter-attack
 - heat is chargeable (like in Full Moon)
 - no EX guard
 - if you get hit in heat IT DOES CIRCUIT SPARK AUTOMATICALLY

Warc:
 - new Mystic Eyes move: effect unknown, maybe a "dragon install" (short range)
 - teleport is now an attack
 - EX teleport is now not air unblockable
 - aerial teleport (alpha blade style)
 - C teleport isn't her EX, it teleports her backwards (she just finishes her animation then starts to fall)
 - new EX blood ring animation (1 big ring, but you got +frames)
 - crescent moon warc has 2 animations for 214c startup old/new
 - Old basic bnb works fine
 - j2C laugh spin same

Ciel:
 - ciel got uber nerfs and minor upgrades
 - 5a ANIMATION CHANGE, SMALLER HITBOX
 - dash is unchanged
 - 5a6a range NERF
 - 2b range NERF
 - airthrow HUGE FUCKING NERF (techable airthrow, Ciel recovers SO MUCH SLOWER)
 - more ciel nerfs 5c5c cannot 5d after
 - new CIEL BUFFS CIEL GAINS 3B and 3C (she stands on her hands and starts kick u upside down with her legs, moves her forward)
 - 3c is 2c2c's 2nd 2c BUT it flies you into the air like instantly
 - 5C IS ANY CANCELLABLE like 5c5a
 - crescent ciel still has hiero and the animation changed
 - ciel has no more 4 way due to airthrow nerf
 - full moon: she shoots 3 keys at 45 degrees that travel full screen they can't hit someone standing still
 - punch super (something that resembles nanaya knife slashes)

Warachia:
 - crescent warachia so fucing strong
 - aerial kattos (stronger than akiha ribbons) 3 hit, hits below him
 - aerial summons, you can summon everything while in the air
 - full moon wara: has fireballs (like testament curse)
 - "oh fuck, wara summoned the cloud, get out" "why? what does it do?" "I HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA"

Kohaku:
 - full moon 5c = old 5c part 1 without spinny
 - full moon 5[c] = throws a sword from her broom
 - full moon 214a/b/c instead of normal swords the sword fires a shockwave
 - full moon kohaku has a 4c/6c (she uses her broom and sweeps upward)
 - she gains a new launcher
 - 214b is like a bit further anti air
 - for 214c FULL SCREEN SHOCKWAVE (low damage)
 - after magical girl amber you can link another amber after except she goes..in opposite direction (it's like an infinite)
 - CRESCENT KOHAKU 5b is now a trip
 - 6b is old 5b (6b hitbox smaller)
 - Something about throwing katana and being able to combo from command throw
 - Has command counter, like Kamui in arcana heart, wallslams (she opens the sheat of her broom quickly and it blings)
 - can throw small knifes
 - 5C seems to be able to be split into multiple parts. Shaft-stab, then spin, so if it whifs recovery time isn't too great
 - jB range and animation remade, much shorter range
 - 5B gimped
 - 2A gimped

Akiha:
 - half moon akiha flame pits auto ignite after casting
 - full moon 214 flameweb is a nero snake (the power waves u if u are under it)
 - also fullmoon akiha j.c is awesome (like vakiha's priority)
 - Arc Drive weaker, effects changed when grabbing
 - full moon Akiha now has those delayed stationary fireball things

Miyako:
 - J.B huge hitbox, it hits behind as well
 - she has jam kick (wallslams)

Kouma:
 - 6c changed into stomp
 - he has downward flame kick (Falcon Kick)
 - in crescent his 6c got changed (he pauses abit then slams the ground with his hands)
 - 5c is one hit and 5b can be charged but whiffs crouchers
 - More combo potential, each hit seems to do less damage to make upfor longer combos

Reeze Baife:
 - her range is huge, her big arm thing goes to good use
 - as you can expect, shes not as fast
 - her airdash is a straight line, similar to Aoko and Kouma
 - her half moon j.B has HUGE range, and can be used to poke from really far away and bait for that CH
 - her half moon 2C is like Sions new 2C, it’s a nice slide
 - her j.C is like Ruby Heart’s j.HP in MvC2, but about 2X the size
 - her j.6C is like the last hit of chaos j.C
 - her 236 is a rush forward, her 214 is also a rush forward that does tons of damage
 - her dp is really good, kinda looks like Youmu’s dp from IAMP – big circle

Hisui:
 - HER j.[C} IS NOW A NERO SIZED LAMPPOST (like nero Hoaa)

V.Sion:
 - 6b overhead complete rework (a small drill appears out of her palm now)
 - 6c is her new overhead
 - SHE CAN NOW SUMMON RANGED CROSSUP (she can DRAW them behind you)
 - faster summons
 - has midscreen summons, including EX Ciel that throws black keys
 - has a "spiderweb" eterlite

Satsuki:
 - 3c it's longer ranged than 2c (Dizzy 2D)
 - Grab changed, jumping and grab now
 - New A attacks replaced old ones in some stances, shorter range
 - Can't do the old EX combo anymore
 - Has an overhead

Aoko:
 - full moon: lost her orbs, but she gained proper fireballs
 - Orbs can be charged
 - Beams are now bolts
 - Orbs can detonate by command and do the aerial 236 thingies
 - New moves: j.c is now a magic sword
 - Full-screen beam missile, fast and looked very annoying

Wlen:
 - crescent wlen got a bunch of buffs speedwise
 - her other modes play like ver.A boss wlen (where she throws ice vines)
 - her dash looks faster
 - full moon: has a full screen fireball icebolt (instead of her normal ice)

Tohno Shiki:
 - has teleport, seems like grabs BACKWARDS after B version
 - can EX srk in the air

Sion:
 - whiff seems to combo less or not at all when linked from other moves
 - has 13 shots, shots have greater range and shoots forward
 - EX shot
 - srk seems to work a little worse
 - 214A/B/C doesn't grab anything that isn't blocking anywhere on the damn screen
 - 3C (old 3B) into 214C still works, and not only that, but it still doesn’t hit correctly on warc and those chars
 - full moon 214B is really fast, and it launches them instead of stunning them grounded, so you do it and just jump into an air combo.
 - new tiger knee super (2147C)
 - her 214B, in half moon, it does 2 hits, and you don’t have to run forward now, coz of her 2C that slides, the range is awesome, so you can do 214B 2A 2B 2C 5C 5B j.ABC air dash j.C jump cancel j.BC throw, decent damage
 - half moon Sion doesn’t have her 5[C], so you can’t do the crazy wall combos

Len:
 - full moon len has a new ice attack, they're rotating triangular disks that hover for a minute and either move downward (if used in the air) or forward (if used on the ground)
 - she also has a very slow moving fireball/iceball (low to the ground)
 - full moon len's normals look way too similar to normal MBAC Len's normals though

Relunx, your info is a little muddled since you didn't exactly split up what bits of info were for which moon style of each character.  Also, you forgot F-Wara's dracula fireballs and iirc F-Akiha's j.C is too good (not horribly bad) as it has priority of v.akiha's j.c but with the range of miyako's. j.b (as in, it hits behind as well). 

Anyway, good work taking the first step toward organizing all this shit.

Thanks man.  I'll try and remember more from the videos and stuff I've read/heard on them.

Akiha now has those delayed stationary fireball things (don't remember which style, but prolly F-Akiha).  She sets them out either right in front of her or right above her, very close range.

F-Len has some sort of new ice attack.  They're rotating triangular disks that hover for a minute and either move downward (if used in the air) or forward (if used on the ground).  She also has a very slow moving fireball(iceball? lol) that's low to the ground.  It reminds me of Dan's gimped fireballs, lol, but it prolly isn't actually that close range.  F-Len's normals look way too similar to normal MBAC Len's normals though.  =\

Also, for general news:
are bunker cancels still in the game?
bara's are no more according to random japan blogs
I'm not sure how valid this is though, as no source was provided to back it up.

Byakko - Depends on what type of moon is used her her I think. Full moon doesnt seem very rushdown-y at all. Half moon seems like shes best at mid range when her moves have larger range than yours, and in crescent moon, her moves lost the huge huge range, so shes prolly best at rushdown there.

No, it's a little more akin to the ISMs present in Street Fighter Alpha 3. Each presents their own mechanics advantages and disadvantages.
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: c-nero 5[c] August 06, 2008, 02:53:54 AM
It's also similar to CVS2 "grooves", however I don't think a style selection has ever so drastically altered the movelist and playing style of characters as MBAA's is going to. It's going to be interesting, I just hope they don't fuck up too much with reinventing the wheel. Even if they do and the game ends up with only crescent moon being remotely decent, it would still be playable. If, on the other hand the game is unbalanced in favour of Full moon, I will be very angry >:(

Hopefully it's balanced okay.

: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: ಠ_ಠ Dizzynecro August 06, 2008, 02:53:10 PM

 - there's an ex-guard (like tension guard in GG): blocking at last moment
 - ex guard seems to lower blockstun a ton
If it is blocking at last moment and it lowers blockstun its much more comparable to GG's instant block which does both of those. Faultless defence is the tension block it increases blockstun but pushes the enemy back more.
White Len changes seem nice. I agree that the styles seem more like a/v/x-isms from alpha than grooves from cvs2 considering how they change you specials and stuff.
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: Sh1k1 August 06, 2008, 03:45:43 PM
Exactly -- the grooves in CvS2 didn't really change anything except how you performed your super attacks, as far as I remember. In SFA3, although most remained unchanged, each ISM offered a set of one or two added/removed special moves from each character's moveset.
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: Legendary Blue Shirt August 06, 2008, 07:15:10 PM
Let me refresh your memory.

The grooves allowed you to use the mechanics from the various games the characters came from.  Here's a chart (Ignore the customizable EX groove) -
(http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/2737/subsystemengsg4.gif)

As for SFA3 isms, one of them lets you play like SF2 (arguably underpowered because you cannot air guard), and another one is V-ism (Ridiculous combos when Custom Combo is active)

yup, but if you look at the melty's timeline (so to speak) you'll see that most of the pc and console all took a year to release from the actual arcade release. so there no doubt in my mind that will have to wait a year to see a pc or even console port. and also theres always been a pc port for each melty blood thats been made so there should be no doubt that this wouldn't be so different.  :V

I just noticed: The screen now zooms in and out as characters get closer and farther apart. *sigh* Melty Blood is going generic 2D fighter on us. =P

Running through the new AA demo movie frame-by-frame, and posting all of the random little things that don't matter at all, because I'm bored:
1) It's still called Guard Crash in the subtitle, but the game text looks an awful lot like "Guard Break."
2) Circuit bars have electricity around them when you're in Heat.
3) F-Riez's charge pile-bunker gains 30% circuit, H-Kohaku's carpetbomb gets 25%, H-Sion's ricochet bullet gets 20%, and F-Aoko's fireball gets 10%.
4) F-Miyako's elbow, is probably a 41236 move, but she didn't step forward, so I'm hoping for an unprecedented 412 special. :3
5) F-Nanaya has fastfall.
6) Superjumps now have an angled dust cloud.
7) At 3:27, during Kouma's Sacchin-ripoffs, C-Nero does a jump that's vertical, much higher than a normal jump, and has a vertical dust cloud.
8) Hisui still suffers from the hit-during-special syndrome, it seems. Her EX Chair animation starts about three video frames slower than the EX flash, which could mean five to seven frames in-game.
9) Hisui mantis-ladder is 41236.
10) Half-moon heat health recovery speed... o_o
11) No more red screen flash during critical hits.
12)

2. EX LADDER ( ^ x2)
3. v.Sion tornados (that shit is SCARY)
4. Sacchin's Rouga dunk
5. Kouma's anti-air manliness grabs
6. Miyako's hop-stomp and Jam-kick
7. Shiki's DONKEY KICK

Everything else was whatever

I just hope we don't have to wait a full year to play AA. I'm crossing my fingers so that we get it sometime around februrary or march. >_>
Here I'm hoping a NAOMI emulator is released around the time of the arcade release.

Im hoping for this too. found out this exists  :fap: :fap: :fap: and you can obtain it but still needs testing, can't link cause the site that had the info had bios's on it :(
yes it works with the GDRoms not just the Dreamcast thingies cause those have been working for awhile now.

Im hoping for the feb march release more.

depends on your specs my compy will say :(, cause emu sucks Im thinking 70% speed on a game like metly(well it depends MvC2 runs like 85% right now for me and apparently other ppl have had problems with the emus speed compared to the dreamcast ones, btw mobile dreamcast FTW), Im on a lappy so emus rock cause I can play console games on the road, or plane, while with friends.

2.2Ghz duel core intel, intel 950 chipset, with 3GB of ram, so it runs melty fine normally but emued Im not so sure.

Nice vid! Sorry guys I haven't been on here for awhile had to focus on other priorities :)

So basically from what I saw on the vid, the different types of moons call for different movesets? Correct me if I'm wrong of course lol

Also from what I saw on the vid, depending on what moon you select, you get a different version of the original character (like Tohno/Nanaya); or are they still separately selected characters?
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: mewofforcena August 16, 2008, 06:47:42 PM
No, the mirrored chars are still separately selected, and each of them has the 3 different moons, which are chosen after you select the char.
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: scottind August 16, 2008, 07:47:08 PM
i missed going to SBO today so 'll probably go back to CRUB SEGA for more MBAA

the full moon characters feel like the changes they did to the vampire counterparts ofold mirror characters, and vampire characters havve yet more changes and new normals.

fulmoon seems hard to launch for aircombo.

activating blood heat makes the meter drop REALLY REALLY slow now.

arc has an instant drop move that lands her back down to the floor, like nanaya.
she also has a ground move that sucks the opponent back closer for more blockstring or comboing.

nero has a bunch of new moves, like a mosquito swarm,
B deer runs fullscreen now (dunno which moon)
a new EX move  with  a giant hornet that hovers over the opponent like a satelite.

Any changes to Nero's Jump C?
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: LoliSauce August 18, 2008, 12:44:21 AM
Any changes to Nero's Jump C?
I'm willing to bet that his Crescent Moon will still be all HOA HOA HOA still, but Full Moon hopefully will have some new elements.

On a different note, after watching a few scenes in the exhibition video a little more, I've noticed some things.

C-Kouma looks like he's actually the madly different, changed version (as opposed to most characters' Crescent version being very similar to their MBAC incarnations and their Full version being highly different).  Of his normals, only his 5b and j.c are the same.  If you look closely at the combo he does in his single crescent video, he goes 6c5b2bc5c j.bc j.bc > ex-kicks.  You can tell the first move is a c move because it reverse beats right after, and I believe it was mentioned earlier that that particular attack was his new 6c anyway.  His 6c has much less forward range and it doesn't launch, but looks like a potential anti-air normal.  His 2b doesn't lower his hitbox as much as the old one, but still is a fucking big uppercut, so it's prolly still a potential anti-air normal too.  His new 2c is faster, it seems, and his 5c isn't really that notable.  His j.b is kind of hard to see, but it looks like it's shorter range than his old one.  I'm willing to bet that F-Kouma is the one that's most similar to MBAC Kouma, because C-Kouma just seems way too different.

Also, I was disappointed in how similar F-Nanaya's moves are to MBAC Nanaya's.  Looking at the one video clip, the only difference he has are his 2a being a slightly shorter range elbow and 5b being a much longer range kick with forward movement (rather than the old elbow).  Having no elbow means that one of his overheads is potentially lost (5b[b]).  Also, the weird dash at the beginning actually looks more like he's jumping/dashing off of the wall, which may be an a fun new mechanic for MBAA to have.  Additionally, the "flash kick" after his 623 looks like it might actually be a part of the 623.  It MIGHT just be another special that he cancelled the 623 into, but it is a really quick and fluid transition, so it seems somewhat unlikely to me.  This is potentially awesome though, as it allows for him to do more with his basic 2abc5c ground combo (since Full form loses the more powerful reverse beating variants of his ground combo).  Unless his 5c is drastically changed somehow, it looks like his new basic combo will be: 2a5b2bc5c 623x j.bc j.bc throw.  F-Nanaya losing reverse beat means that his blockstring game will be nerfed heavily (no whiff cancel), so I'm confused why he seems to have a lot of the same moveset (still has same 214b, almost all normals, fastfall, similar 623).  Not really sure what to think about it yet, but definitely food for though to any Nanaya players.

I'll prolly look into the other characters more and make further posts analyzing and pondering, but for now that's all.

red arc
now has an air teleport

Len FM
reflectors will either hit or push. but it can be placed in the air or anywhere
will reflect projectiles, but not hisui's arc drive
i said it before- she's an aegis reflector beast!

nanaya FM
now has a new super that resembles ST E.Honda's super
The Nanaya super is faster and does more hits
arc drive is more of a sure hit if opponent is right in front of you.
Horizntal Dragon Kick!!! very K'

Ciel (append from the dedicated MBAA Ciel thread) go visit it for more ciel:
FM launcher is 2c2c
5CC actually exists in Crescent Mode. not in any other modes.
623A (or B) can be done in the air now.
airthrow momentum is completely lost, if you dash then thow, she'll stop in the air for the throw. no more forcing to corner anymore.

Vakiha
OPTIC BLAST super!
dash speed is slower
fire pillars are faster

Nero FM

That's aoko's new projectile.

Roa's new electricity is basically placing down electric mines on the floor that spike vertically. and placing mines in the air that spike horizontally. he's quite the slow player that controls space like aoko starmines do. His combo is pretty much EXACTLY like rivalschools kyosuke, right down to the same launcher.

So now we know Akiha has the least variety out of any character...

But seriously, we don't even know what most of the moves will DO, and even the ones we do know can vary a lot. Like I'm sure the name of the Flametongue hasn't changed, but now there's that auto-TK flametongue, and while Akiha/Vakiha's 214 had the same name in MBAC, they were totally different.

Okay, random notes on the movelists shown on the site.  Keep in mind that I'm only paying attention to Crescent Moon and Full Moon styles, since I think Half Moon is a joke.

F-Sion's forward shooting 236 attack is called Hollow Point.  Badass.

F-Maids have a 236 move that includes A, B, C...AND D?  Wtf?

WTF both C-Shiki and F-Shiki have 22 teleports?  Fuck that shit.

Oh god I lol'd at F-Wara's 214.  It's called Black Crack.  Also of note with Warakia, it seems that C-Wara exclusively has the 421 teleports and F-Wara exlusively has the 22 tornadoes.

Holy shit, does C-v.Sion have twice the summons now?  She now has TWO Replicant Conductor moves: 214 Replicant Conductor (Oshirisu), and 421 Replicant Conductor (Ishisu).  =o

Nanaya definitely takes the cake for least variety of any character.  The only difference between C-Nanaya and F-Nanaya is his 236.  F-Nanaya apparently doesn't have slashy anymore.  I'm guessing that the flash kick is just part of the F-Nanaya's 623, even though it's still named the same.  This is really lame, especially with the lack of change in his normals from C-Nanaya to F-Nanaya (Only changing 2a and 5b?  Really?).  I hope there actually are significant changes, as opposed to what the move names suggest.

C-Sacchin loses ground pound and instead gets some new 421?  Didn't see that one coming.  Also, I'm curious what the input is for the rouga dunk that F-Sacchin has, since the only shown change in moveset from MBAC Sacchin is apparently a new 236.

F-Aoko has a new kind of 421 Starmine?  I can't wrap my head around what "A-teirari" could be though.  Btw, I thought someone said that F-Aoko got her orbs taken away.  According to the movelist she still has her 214 Floating Starmine.  Maybe they just meant she lost her 421 held orbs?

Ogod, F-Kouma still has the same 214 and 22 moves.  So not only does he have the anti-air grab of manliness, he still has the dunk and the super armor.  F-Kouma is all that is man.

I kind of lol'd that Reisbyfe's moves have to do with music.  Most notably, her 214 is List-Staccato.

w.Len and m.Hisui are the only characters with a completely different moveset between Full and Crescent styles (as far as naming conventions go).

I'm pretty sure "twice the summons" for Vsion means her 3 normal summons and that move where she shoots out her whip and it draws the summon behind the opponent. So same 3 summons, but they can come from the back or front now.

I'm pretty sure "twice the summons" for Vsion means her 3 normal summons and that move where she shoots out her whip and it draws the summon behind the opponent. So same 3 summons, but they can come from the back or front now.
Was that whip one C-v.Sion?  I was thinking it was F-v.Sion that had the distance etherlite summon, especially since F-v.Sion's 214 is called Etherlite Thrust.

C-Sacchin loses ground pound and instead gets some new 421?  Didn't see that one coming.  Also, I'm curious what the input is for the rouga dunk that F-Sacchin has, since the only shown change in moveset from MBAC Sacchin is apparently a new 236.
You just answered your own question.

 :slowpoke:
Perhaps, but having what seems to be an anti-air EX move be a 236 input seems wrong.  I suspect that it's actually something else unlisted (since they obviously didn't list some stuff, such as nero/wara's 63214C EXs and stuff).

Any Akiha V news?I'm curious how different she'll be from Akiha,since they made Sion and V Sion so different..
I can tell you that both C and F style v.Akiha have Momiji loops, as they have the same ole 623 as always.  Her 214 seems to be the same-ole for both styles as well, but F-v.Akiha has new 236 and 22 moves.  Interestingly, the names of both of the new moves are similar to her 623 "Blazing Rendition - Red Leaves" in that they all start with "Blazing Rendition - ".  Also, quoting one of scott's previous posts:
: Scott
Vakiha
OPTIC BLAST super!
dash speed is slower
fire pillars are faster
An educated guess would tell me that the optic blast bit he was talking about is F-v.Akiha's new 236 move.

Uh, Akiha Tohno in MBAC has that 623 and doesn't have momiji. The recovery might be higher on one style's 623 and momiji wouldn't work on that style.

I kind of lol'd that Reisbyfe's moves have to do with music.  Most notably, her 214 is List-Staccato.

It really IS a cello!

F-Ries has List-Pizzicato, which a string-instrument-exclusive term. =P

Actually, though, Nero changes only 421 between F/H and C. Akiha changes 214 and 22.

Yeah, I thought it was a nice little touch how they named them, but for some reason I didn't it at all.  lol

Check again.  C-Nero and F-Nero share only the 236.

The characters that seem to exhibit the least difference between Full and Crescent are Shiki (only his 623 differs), Warc (only 236), and Nanaya (only 236).  On the flip side, M.Hisui, W.Len, and Roa are the only characters to have completely different movesets from Full to Crescent (of what moves have been revealed, at least).

Hmmm not sure if I am correct to post this here, if I am not please correct me  ;D

Some new gameplay clips of MBAA, official clips from Sega on youtube. Have fun watching =)

Satsuki vs Ciel
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUh6UJDXnrA&feature=user

White Len vs Roa
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNU5EGMGslc&feature=user

Red Arcuied (Warcuied) vs Tohno Shiki
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmHQ-EKNFB4&feature=user

Mech Hisui vs V. Akiha
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5pauTpW0dc&feature=user

Sion vs Aoko
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsYnD4P-s20&feature=user

Aoko sounds weird in MBAA, her j.C seems overhead, and she can do one of the old 6A,B,C continuation move independently now.
Sion still has that fucked up whip combo strings, something needs to be done about it !
Mech Hisui tons of fun now !
Roa and Warcuied teleports are HAXXORZ.
Satsuki feels and plays different from what I can see from the clip.
White Len still well . . . kinda bad in half moon mode.

-Sion's actually frightening now
-Roa's the new Ciel (EX Hierofags)
-Ciel's the new Nanaya (thousand sla-- err, punches)

And I'm still watching the Sion/Aoko vid. Will watch the MHisui/VAkiha and Warc/Shiki afterwards.

Ciel has Yamazaki's snake arm attacks. :o

I like Sion's new bnb. Seems like her air throw is techable too. Damage in general does seem pretty low if 200% circuit is needed to do roughly 4K damage.

Aoko's death cry doesn't really sound like her. ??? She now has a somersault?

I noticed, if the opponent's back is turned when you start comboing them, they will remain in back turned position even while being air comboed.

: Abstract Nonsense September 12, 2008, 03:04:53 PM
I like Satsuki's F-moon moveset. The more I look at it the more interesting it is. I still want to see C-Moon Sacchin though.
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: LoliSauce September 12, 2008, 08:21:48 PM
I dig the new announcer voice, but the match intro and end music is kind of...out of place. =\  I do like how charging meter looks, and the little electrical pulses that the gauge makes when in Heat is a pretty cool little touch as well.

Sacchin vs Ciel- Holy shit, F-Sacchin's new 236c is cool.  Slide head has huge range.  Also her new 22 is strange.  I dig her new ground dash a lot.  And was that a ground overhead for her now?  =o  Her 214b seems stupid slow though.  F-Ciel's air throw is lol.  Fucking wallslam off an airthrow?  Is that legal?  lol  Her 236 punches are neat, I guess.  The j.214c looked mad cool though, with the shadow flame on the ground after.  That fucking spinny throw EX was looool.  Her range seems real small though.

W.Len vs Roa- W.Len seems a lot of the same.  Roa seems cool.  I like how his 236 launches and 214 has good range (as well as 214c being hiero).  But really...this was Half moon.  I don't really care about that style.  Moving on...

Warc vs Shiki- Warc's new teleports are badass, and her new 236 isn't half bad.  I assume the Mystic Eyes special she has is her 22 move?  Shiki...just makes me sad.  His teleports and the new air dash(that nanaya also had in the exhibition vid) are just proof that they're making Shiki and Nanaya even more similar.  It's really disheartening.  They could do so much more to differentiate them.  =\  Anyway, blah blah half moon moving on.

Mecha vs V.Akiha- Okay, this is going to sound mad nerdy, but v.Akiha having blue eyes in the intro bothers me.  Blue is the color linked with demon hunting blood, hence why Shiki's eyes turn blue when he goes into Nanaya mode (his demon hunting blood coming forth).  Red is the color associated with demons.  Her having blue eyes is contradictory, especially when she's in vermillion form.  That said, on to match notes.  v.Akiha's j.236 is still mad useful it seems.  The fact you can j.214 now is neat too.  Her new 22 seemed kind of lame to me (no meter gain from it and much smaller than Crescent form 22) until I saw that you can lay down multiple of them.  I wonder how many you can put down at the max?  Mecha's extendo shock seems like it may whiff if you're too close to your opponent.  The fucking jet summon thing is some bullshit.  Also wtf at mecha assist summons?  They can be hit out of their assist, just like Maids assists.  j.236 angled laser might be nice.  Really though, they need to stop with so much of this Half Moon crap.  At least v.Akiha was Full this time.

Sion vs Aoko- lol, Aoko has a laser sword for her j.C now.  The Artillery Starmines are apparently antiair (possibly held?) orbs.  *shrugs*  Could be useful.  lol, her new 623 is a flash kick.  Also, is that a charged aerial orb she does, or do you think it's an aerial normal that puts an orb out when charged?  Having her new 22 be the slide kick seems kind of lame.  Did she lose her third air jump/dash too?  F-Aoko as a whole seems a bit less awesome than her MBAC incarnation.  Sion's 22 must be that forward dashing move that she only used once (and whiffed, lol).  I'm betting that it's the ground based leg slamming shit that was shown off in the exhibition vid.  The rest of her moveset is a lot of similar stuff.  236 shots, 623 shoryu, 214 whip.  *shrugs*  At least the characters were both Full style in this vid.  lol

Overall, Warc's changes look the most awesome to me, but it doesn't look like she has any good wakeup reversal options (maybe teleport?).  I want to see more of F-Sacchin for sure though.  She looks like she has some badass potential.  Thinking about it, I didn't see her Rouga dunk at any point, nor did it look like she had any good wakeup reversal options either (since her ground pound is changed).  I need to see some damn C-Roa or F-Roa, and really see F-Miyako in action too.

If anyone cares about the little touches, here's one. Pay attention to the clock. There are 2 rings around it. One rotates regularly. The other does a quarter rotation every 10 seconds.

I've also been paying attention to the Guard Meter. Seems like it's got 2 "layers" like the health bar; at some moments it turns darker. Either that or my monitors going nuts. One thing I noticed from the WLen and Roa vid is that a whiffed shield will turn the Guard Meter darker immediately. Not sure what this does. Also, in the MHisui vs VAkiha vid, Mhisui did 2 whiffed shields and the bar turned red (1:05:). It gradually turned back to green/blue/bluegreen.

I'm quite sure about this. The Guard Meter, like everybody now knows, goes down when you block with the exception of blocking at the perfect moment. After you stop blocking, it doesn't fill up straight away. It fills up after you get hit, meaning it doesn't go up while you're getting bashed in the middle of a combo, but when the combo ends, it starts filling. If you block while it's filling, it'll stop. A successful shield will cause the Guard Meter to also fill up slowly. And regarding the Sion vs Aoko vid, it seems like Sion's whip move (0:53) immediately fills up the bar to full. Btw, this vid proves that airthrows are still doable in Full-Moon (1:52).

In Half-Moon, I think some attacks won't cause you to auto-spark while you're in Heat. Look at the Warc vs Shiki vid. Shiki didn't spark during Warc's EX-Teleport (2:15).

Guard meter turning colors is prolly it being weakened.  At normal color the guard bar damage taken would be less, and when very red it would take more.  You know what I mean?

Also, Warc's EX-Teleport may be considered a throw, which might be why he didn't spark.

I can't tell exactly but from what I can see Circuit Spark now either heals back the damage/combo that you took when sparking, or heals up some of your red bar. Notice how whenever a person autosparked, that bit of health they lost always healed back from the spark.

Don't be so srs guy.

I'm more curious than I am serious, but if his answer is only because of 236C then I'd rather not hear it.
I think...it's 236C..Yeah..Its gotta be. :V

fuckin' EX Heiro is still here, in Half and Crecent Styles. gaaaay (however this time you can't combo after

it)

*Facepalm*

Again, why would "Cielfags" run towards Roa just to spam 236C if she still has it?

Because I would LOVE to see a "Cielfag" rely ONLY on EX hiero to win a game let alone even pick her BECAUSE of that move ALONE. I can see it now: "OMG EX HIERO IS SO GOOD I'M SO GUNNA PLAY HER NOW!!!!!111!1!ONE!"


Yeah.That sounds about right.But its not worth getting annoyed over.You'll still play her,in AA right?

: Sh1k1 September 16, 2008, 01:13:35 AM
So enlighten the rest of us, please? 'Cause aside of making you waste your Circuit and potentially getting you out of a combo, I don't really see any reason for it to exist.
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: scottind September 16, 2008, 01:52:19 AM
i'm figuring that then you fill it, it goes into auto-heat, and you get your life back VERY QUICKLY. (see the video) it completely bypasses being punished for people heating at the wrong time. very noob and turtle friendly

the main thing is- simply fill the circuit, get life back FOR FREE.

the only way out is simply to score a hit on him, which yes, is also a Get-out-of-combo-free card. Win-Win situation for the Half Moon player at the cost of not having your magic circult strictly for offensive purposes. In Half Moon, you get auto-defense out of it too.

Which is really dumb because apparently since now using EX moves in Heat takes up less meter and Half Moon starts with a full bar of Heat, between that and air spark/spark healing you, Half Moon might actually be playable, which would be really bad.

Why? just because its a bit easier? Oh hey guys Half Moon is noob mode so its not gonna be viable but its gonna have a different move set and combos that people might like. The person isn't always going to be in Heat, and just hitting them once wastes their meter. and Auto Shield counters? LoL 5d5a.

Naturally, all these styles have their pros and cons. It's up to the player's preference to decide which to use and if he ends up using H-Moon and beats you to a pulp while you're using other styles you're noone to say that H-Moon is noob. We'll decide if it's truly shit when we're actually able to play it.

I actually see style strengths to be more character-specific. F-Sion looks just as tough and maybe even better than her mbac form. F-Nero sounds like a beast as well. Nanaya might be better off with Crescent, etc.

Actually overall, F-Moon looks like the stronger style to me. You can live without reverse beats anyway.

You only need whiffs mainly for:
1. Extending combos
2. Keeping the pressure. Though it's better to do this while outside sweep range as you can get punished if you whiff too close.

F-Moon style is more like your more traditional fighter without the reverse beat. And higher damaging specials make up for the added hits done by reverse beating.

If I'm right, doesn't Nanaya need those whiff cancels? Otherwise he loses a really good pressure game. Unless they make up for it with uber awesome specials and other stuff.

I think you're wrong about the Blood Heat. The vids show that when you activate it, your red life is instantly recovered but it won't slowly recover after you get hit again.

The low quality of players in the new videos is just frustrating.  I would prefer exhibition videos where they show off the characters' movesets or various combos to this. 

The difference between the 3 styles of Roa is impressive.  He looks like he'll play massively differently from one form to the next.  Also, lol at only RoaH having the EX Heiro clone.

Tried MBAA today for a bit...
Didn't get a chance to test anything, people were srs and out for bloooooooooooodddddddddddd. So they just went crazy on challengers. This Crescent Nero had like 20 wins, Sion racked up 17, and this Tohno player had 14 when I was leaving.
Anyway...from what little I got to play, here is the info I can give so far.

Crescent Roa
Roa's lightning traps work like this...
Ground = Vertical
Air = Horizontal
You need to do the input again to have the lightning shoot out, so it isn't held like Aoko's 421 orbs or anything.

Crescent Nanaya
At the last hit of 623B, he will throw them down.

(Need to confirm, forgot which style had this...)
Half or Full...?
214 moves are a kick that rushes forward, EX will have a forward kick + upward kick(like his 623 from MBAC)
5B(or maybe it was 5C) was a kick like Sagat's round house.

Full Aoko
421s are the held starmines that shoot upward, however I couldn't figure out how to get a Raining to shoot out.
236C ...when I did this, one time I had the small wave of bursting orbs come out, the other I had a ton of Magic Draws coming out...unsure of how to get a different effect on it.
coughMOONSAULT IS FUNcough

Again, I forgot which form had this but ...
From looking at the blog LoliSauce posted, it looks like Full Moon had the 2B punch and 2A kick.
j.A was a elbow looking jab, and not an outreached arm like MBAC.
Her 2B resembled Sacchins 2B from MBAC.
Her 2A was a close ranged kick, like Sion's 2A. (But it felt a bit slower, maybe 5f and 4f?)
Her 5B was a kick like Sagat's roundhouse. (the fuck with these kicks)


6[A]...wasn't in the other modes, can't remember, but Half and Full don't have it I think.

Crescent Aoko
Normal BnB works fine, 2C 5C 3C blahblah
Didn't notice much change aside from j.214s feeling like they have slower recovery time...(to me at least)

When I was playing against people, and watching them play...
Sion's warning shot that ricochets(anonym) it'll pop Aoko orbs.
Sion's new etherlite combos are LONG. Fuck.
Tohno still has his whiff bnb, some guy used a 2A and a 5A version, output was like 3.6k-4k.
Tohno has this elbow rush thing(Mai's 4C from EFZ, but dunno if it is a 4C for him), this guy charged it, and I was blocking low...so either an overhead or a unblockable.

Yeah so, that's about it from me.
Local arcade supposed to get AA on the 26th, so I'll prolly have more info later on, unless I venture into Shinjuku again on a fucking long ass train ride.
Sorry about the info I'm not entirely sure on, I'll work on getting more detail on what the moves are like for specific styles.

Riesbyfe dialogues in her story mode, final boss + the ending theme
AokoC v NanayaC- It's awesome to see that NanayaC's 22b now teleports above and slightly behind the opponent, instead of just teleporting into the air above yourself.  Also, I love that you can actually control which direction you throw people with Nanaya now.  In the second round, he throws a cornered opponent back into the corner and then IADs to crossup the cornered opponent (did the 2p crossup work in the left corner in MBAC?).

NanayaC v ReisF match1- Holy shit Nanaya can combo off corner 214b again!  Actually, it was from quarter screen away from the corner.  =o  He used quarter screen 2b5c 214b 2a5b aircombo!  That excites me.  Also, goddamn 22b is too good, both for catching people who try to keep their distance and just for fucking with people.  ReisF seems mad slow, but looking at the damage she pulled off of a few pokes and a single non-meter combo...she's a pretty heavy hitter.

NanayaC v ReisF match2- Wow, that fastfall crossup at the beginning was so fast I didn't catch it at first.  Is Reis' delayed forward shot attack unblockable?  It looked like Nanaya tried blocking it high and still got nailed.  Oh damn, Reis comboing into AD did 5450 damage on Nanaya.  That's really hefty.

ReisC v ...Dust of Osiris?  Really?  We've got Egyptian mythology up in this bitch now?  I'm guessing it has ties in to the whole Sion/Reis/Wara/Atlas story, but it just seems so random.  WTF at ending image!  Final boss is Sion somehow?  CONFUSION

He talks about Aoko's moveset in Half and then Full moon style, then gives his overall thoughts on each of the styles. After that, he tosses out some combos for each style, comments a little on new system mechanics, and wraps it all up with some words on the final boss.

ReisC v ...Dust of Osiris?  Really?  We've got Egyptian mythology up in this bitch now?  I'm guessing it has ties in to the whole Sion/Reis/Wara/Atlas story, but it just seems so random.  WTF at ending image!  Final boss is Sion somehow?  CONFUSION

Well ATLAS is located in Egypt, so it's not entirely random I suppose.

Gosh, I'm totally hyping over Nanaya.

It seems like you have to charge the 22b to teleport over the opponent. You can see that spark that comes out when you charge an attack.

lol Leon Rose, I'll try Kohaku next time I go there.
I'll try the other charas out, what I really want to see is Nero's j.C in Half and Full...wonder what he'll have now.
I'll pay closer attention to the move sets and what info I can gather, or write stuff down next time so I won't forget the styles.

Tomorrow I'll try and go again, provided weather is good and beat the rush of people and show up there at like 10AM.

Other info I remembered...
Forgot which mode(again) Len threw out a small ice ball(speed similar to Aoko's Magic Draw?) in blockstrings and stuff.
When I was super jumping around with Nanaya, felt a little bit slower on startup of the SJ than MBAC.
SJ straight up = Lol
Airthrows have a animation now, as in when you miss (unless that was covered, probably was)

Fuck, nanaya can charge 22B now? hot stufffffff...wonder what else got changed in his norm move set.(although not really much to change  :emo: )

Random info
I noticed Aoko's 236A in Crescent is the default blue color, despite people picking other colors. Lame ):
Updated previous post with Aoko's moves identified.
You can't do BC to heat anymore, has to be ABC or Q. Was trying to heat using BC but nothing came out, so I was wtfing, eventually I tried all three.

So I saw the Miyako match that Psyblade linked to. H-Miyako's looks quite similar to vB Miyako so far. Some of her normals got new animations, but they look like they function the same. Looks like the old combos work too. 2C looks like it recovers better than before, if my eyes aren't deceiving me. Lawls @ Miyako's new animation changes resembling Jam's moveset. 5C looks like the HS extension of Jam's 6HS, 2C looks like 2D now.

The only thing that looks kind of disappointing is how high her airthrow pushes her upward. The opponent was able to tech wayy before she could land on the ground, which makes me curious if she can tech punish anymore. The player didn't try any tech punishes in the video, so it's hard to say without guessing. Maybe she has different ones.  ..

I wonder which moon style has The People's Elbow.  :psyduck:

Lots of new vids, lately. I must say though that I'm absolutely sick of watching cArc now. That player seems like a real douche to have played her for that long. It became clear after the first couple of wallslam loops that she plays almost identically to her MBAC incarnation. I only got like 2 things out of her matches, lack of 4B means he had to resort to the noob combo. On top of that he was running the SUPER noob combo (2ABC3B(or is it 3C now?) j.ABC dj.ABC throw). And she has a new air move. That's it. The other players were either using Ries or a new style but could barely do anything because they were too busy getting mauled by old shit. Things actually got interesting when he switched to fArc though because then we got to see some new moves, but it took forever.

cHisui still looks like she plays almost identically to MBAC but thankfully that player didn't show up in anymore matches after that. I wanna see new moves.

Akiha's j.2C is no longer overhead from what I saw. She has a new j.C that can crossup though but it looks like weak air-to-air since it seems to hit only directly below her and behind.

good lord wtf combo of satsuki

Went again today, played some more, but this'll be my last day at Club Sega for MBAA. I'll be waiting till the local arcade here upgrades on the 26th, this stuff is costing me a arm and a leg when I go down.
Anyway...from what I do remember.

Characters I tried...

Half Moon Arcueid
Didn't get to try much but...
2C 5C did not produce a wall slam effect. So no putting people into the wall EZ-mode anymore?
All I got after was generic bnb 2A 2B 2C 5C j.BC j.BC throw.
Didn't get to try much else, but she has Warc teleports as most people know by now.

FORGOT TO ADD.
Crescent Moon Kohaku
236B has a new extension to it. 236 might have it, but I forgot to try it out on that too.
236B -> A = the follow up slash we all know and love.
236B -> B = Kohaku does a roll forward that is the same animation as her Dodge.
Didn't get to try out and see if it could roll back or anything, only tried pressing B afterwards.


Half Moon Kohaku
623 is this homerun shit. Kohaku swings her broom kind of like Faust's 5D (thanks Harem)
j.C is this broom slash thing, goes horizontal. Kind of like Nanaya's j.B, but it is one hit, and the angle isn't the same.
22 is that ball thing. You can bounce it around and what not, I didn't get to really try the EX out, since the guy just jumped away from it.

Full Moon Kohaku
Holy Shit. Holy Shit.
236 now shoots out a wave effect. Depending which you use....
A = Horizontal, this shit is TALL. It was at least as tall as Nero, or around his height. Range is limited, but is still very nice.
B = Diagonal, this one shoots upward into the air.
C = HUEG. This one is a huge ass version of A, and goes further.
She still has her plants in Full Moon.
214 is what looks like a counter type of move. She holds out her sword, and it flashes briefly.
I didn't actually get to try out the counter though, was playing around with it across the screen.


Crescent Nanaya
From the vids everyone has seen this but charged 22B will always go behind.
If you OTG string with Nanaya and end with 623B, it'll still grab them at the end for a down.
From what I seen, and tried today after 623C combos midscreen, 2A 5C works on a lot of people.
j.22 is VERY fast now. Fastfall is actually Fast now!

FullMoon Nanaya
gay combo is 2A 2B 2C 623B -> aerial (one set) air throw
Didn't really get a chance to try anything else with him.

FullMoon Aoko
236C = (the magic seal thing, or w/e it is) tons of Magic Draw come out.
214C = (the magic seal thing, or w/e it is) tons of orbs appear, and burst.

FullMoon Hisui
623 the LADDER.
A = Frying Pan (small range)
B = Mop (medium range)
C = Ladder (Fuck you range) Seriously, this shit hits WAY WAY up there.
22 (everyone knows bout this already, but anyway...)
A = Chair
B = Rolling Office Chair
C = Throne

Half Moon Warc
236A/B is a FAST power wave-esque move. I was tagging everything this Nero tried to summon.
236C resembles her 236C from MBAC.
214 is rings
(Didn't get to try 623 much, but it has that blood trailing effect thing, so I'm wondering if it hits? Don't know)
22 is Mystic Eyes.
Holy shit this thing is fast and has range. Hit people from across the screen for CHs.

FullMoon Warc
236 A/B...don't really know how to describe this move too well...it feels like 236 from MBAC, the wave but it has a much bigger vertical reach. It looks like rings, except they are kind of oval shaped. I'll try for a better descrip when it's released in all arcades, I didn't get to try this much.
623 is teleport forward, 421 is teleport backward.

HalfMoon Kouma (Memory is a bit foggy with his moves, think most were the same)
5A is no longer Hoe slapper, but a downward slap.
2A is a downward slap too, not a horizontal poke like MBAC kouma.

FullMoon Kouma
623A Kouma lunges forward, and reaches upward. Opponent  blocked it, so I don't know if it's actually a hit or grab(like Satsuki's grabs that people can block)
623C this one I grabbed someone with, and OW. Think it might work like Satsuki 623C, but unsure. Couldn't really tell if I nabbed them in the air or ground with this one.
(I apologize, I forgot which form had this. I THINK it's Full.)
j.214. A downward fire kick, that Kouma glides down with. A is a slightly slower version than B.
 
Characters that I saw.

Half Moon Miyako
She has those long ass combos still, and they are even sexier in this.
She can still combo off her ground throw.
The move where she jumps forward and elbow drops the opponent produces a ground bounce, so you can continue comboing after. I saw this guy using it when he was comboing off throw on the ground.
2C(maybe?) is a sliding type of kick.
She has a move on ground that resembles j.B from MBAC, but it produced a wallslam effect.

Full Moon White Len
She has those ice shits from VerA/PS2, the ones that come from the ground.
She now has a projectile that can be fired on ground, or in the air, in the air it has about the same angle as Ciel's black key throws from MBAC.


Despite other videos being uploaded, FOR VOOMER.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsvN_ovyvSc

Full Moon Nero
Most of you have probably seen the new vids uploaded on the Joybox stuff, but
Two versions of crows, one hovers very low to the ground and shoots forward.
214 has a Ant Lion appear out of it, has sorta same effect as 214B snakes from MBAC
2A is a poke that resembles his j.A
I saw a Nero do a teleport backwards. Don't know, new type of backdash probably?
This...thing...it creeps along the ground and stuff, and hits you.
One goes forward, other goes backward. EX version will go back and forth multiple times...but...
(I got hit by the EX and was pushed back like a bitch, but it didn't go back and forth, when I blocked it, it went back and forth.)

Anyway this is all I have for now, sorry if it's not very in depth, I'll work on that.

Some impressions on Akiha from the geesendou vids

First off, the Akiha player was really good, it was pretty obvious that the player was very familiar and had a lot of experience with MBAC Akiha.  Kept sticking with Half Moon Akiha for some reason.  I would have liked to see the other styles, but oh well

Akiha's voice is still really good.  She still has all of her ground normals, and gains a new one that kind of looks like her 6c except that she leans forward a bit.  All of her old combos, like hitconfirm into 2c5bb or the wallslam combos still work, and she still does pretty good damage.  She loses her old j.c, and her j.c is now a downward angled attack with really good crossup hitboxes.  The Akiha player was drawing counterhits all day with it.  Her new j.2c becomes very similar to VAkiha j.c, giving a knockdown but it floats her up a bit and also for some reason can be blocked low.  5c also seems to move her forward a lot more than before too.

The ground 236 series makes her automatically do a tiger knee ribbon, and 236c becomes very similar to how tk 236c worked in pre-FT Melty Blood ReACT, making her recover faster so that she has more frame advantage.  The 214 series can be charged now to give it extra range, which is cool but doesn't look like it has very good use.  And the new j.236 series she gets makes her shoot out a ball of ribbons, which has really big startup.  Her new j.22's are pretty interesting.  Doing the j.22a or j.22b in neutral actually seems to be pretty good for controlling space now because of the autoignition.  The Akiha player was trying to experiment with setups involving a knockdown into j.22c, trying to make the automatic pit ignition hit meaty, but he wasn't really having that much success with it.

H Akiha seems to be a bit stronger pressurewise.  Losing the old flamepits is pretty bad, but having the 236 series giving an automatic tigerknee ribbon means she can break one of the rules of MB(jump cancel a blocked normal), as before she had to let a blocked normal recover completely before she could do a tk ribbon.  236c also seems to be very good for pressure too since it gives more frame advantage than the similar tk j.236c in MBAC.  The changed properties on j.c and j.2c also mean that H Akiha doesn't have one of MBAC Akiha's main weaknesses, not having a strong jumpin, so she will have a much easier time now landing in the air against characters like Nero.  j.c crosses up so there will probably be some left/right setups developed for that in the future.

On the flip side, j.2c losing its overhead properties means that H Akiha probably has really crappy high/low mixup.  The new j.c and j.2c give her great new options for air-to-ground, but she now can't fight anyone air-to-air, since her old j.c angled up.  With no air attack that hits at an upwards angle and the loss of real air flame ribbons, she pretty much has no answer to stuff like Warc j.b and Nanaya j.a unless there's some special properties on her new downwards angled j.c that we don't know about.

I think H Akiha is weaker than MBAC Akiha overall, she has some nice new options though.  I think she can be pretty good if she basically avoids fighting air-to-air in situations where she is below the opponent

For those of you upset about Ciel throwing things diagonally, one of the new Joybox videos shows that C-Ciel has the old throwing behavior. ...which is pretty much what I figured but forgot to post. Oh well.

(This is probably old news though because everyone's obsessively watching these... I'm behind OH GOD.)

Also, is it just me or is the healing during auto-heat really fast? Like Blood Heat fast? It seems way too strong, but who knows!

MiyakoH, from geesendou. Her 5B->6B is probably the thing that looks kinda like Jam's 6HH. Around 1:30 she follows 2C with that, and it's a reverse beat. Right after is her elbow thinger, which seems like an overhead, but is unsafe. That's about it. I thought her backdash looked a bit faster, but it isn't.

You're right, around 1:00 she does a double dash, but the second one looks like the startup frames of her 623B in AC. Akiha's flame symbol... thing hits her out of it, but it could be a feint, like W.Len's 623{B}. Why so little Miya?

As for HM, not just for auto spark, but some characters seem to have better normals in that groove. HM Shiki has gained an additional poke move and seems to have a higher damage potential overall.

Right now I don't know which groove I'll be using. Nanaya seems better off with either HM or CM though. Actually based on the vids so far, HM looks to be the strongest because of the auto heat.

You're right, around 1:00 she does a double dash, but the second one looks like the startup frames of her 623B in AC. Akiha's flame symbol... thing hits her out of it, but it could be a feint, like W.Len's 623{B}. Why so little Miya?
 :mystery:

I didn't really notice it much when watching the videos. I only really noticed the dash when I saw Nero do it, cuz the player that was doing it canceled it pretty quickly into low block and attacks. It looks pretty buff for Nero.

Finally the airport stage makes an appearance.

I dunno if anyone else has noticed, but it seems that the reverse beat penalty now applies to chaining a regular normal out of a command normal, even if the same button strength is used. So for example, something like 4C -> 2C is now considered a reverse beat.

Half moon still sucks.  I've seen the autospark punished a few times, which means it's possible if you're smart about it.  Also a good few gimmicky moves.  Also auto counter after ex-shield taking away possible better options off of CH.  Also instantly healing all red life immediately on entering autoheat screams noob.  Also I have a bigger e-penis than you since I'm obviously still with the cool crowd (aka halfmoon haters).   :teach: 

Seriously though, although all my mentioned points are very valid (especially the e-penis one, of course), the only thing I really dislike about Half Moon is the instant life gain.  That coupled with the fact that you get into autoheat VERY quickly with only 200% meter is pretty stupid.

Anyway, watching the joybox videos, I notice that SacchinC can charge her 623b (though in the particular video, the player doesn't let it charge).  Anyone know what that's all about?  I'm lovin the ridiculous beastings of SacchinF.  I knew she'd be my girl again as soon as I saw that Rouga Dunk (which more people need to abuse, seriously).

...Also instantly healing all red life immediately on entering autoheat screams noob...

So you're saying there's a massive advantage and a massive disadvantage? Wow! It's almost like they tried to balance it!

I stopped caring about it being the "noob spec" - especially because all it is is automatically going into heat and circuit sparking. The former isn't exactly difficult, and the latter isn't needed by any newbies anyway. It's obviously meant to heat while you're on the offensive, and to make that heat stoppable.

(Still think they probably could have toned down the speed of healing though)
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: Sphyra September 24, 2008, 10:11:31 AM
Auto spark is simple fail. There's no way you should be looking at it like a plus when you can simply spark yourself. Not having control over your entire circuit bar is ridiculous. Auto heat on the other hand is good. The instant recovery can also be very useful if you have a large amount of red life. But that alone doesn't make or break H styles and you have to look at what else you're gaining or losing when deciding on a style to play, and this becomes very specific for each characters in the cast.

Calling it a noob style isn't exactly correct, but it can certainly be a lesser style in some instances. H-Hisui is almost exactly the same as C-Hisui (or v.B Hisui), with the biggest difference being the lost of j.bb which means she's losing a very big tool to gain auto heat, a sacrifice I wouldn't even consider.

Some protips:

It really looks like Spark is UNPUNISHABLE. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7NOx73c224&fmt=18 at 1:20 you can see it. Unless air spark and ground spark have weird properties, then this pretty much proves that spark is unpunishable.

When you Blood Heat in full moon mode, you automatically regain all your red life during the initial heat animation in the same manner as Declares in IAMP. So instant health regen exists in Half and Full moon.

You guys need to keep an OPEN MIND when you are watching these vids before you make some ridiculous statement like HALF MOON IS WORSE, or HALF MOON IS NUB MODE. Focus on facts and less on dumb generalizations. Make those generalizations when you learn the game and show some humility before then.

: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: LoliSauce September 24, 2008, 01:42:22 PM
lol, the fact that people are raging over my "half moon is noob" joke rant is kind of laughable.  The only thing I was seriously hating on was the instant life gain. 

Anyway, I'm almost positive I've seen two instances where autospark was punished, one air and one ground.  I'll go through and look for the videos to confirm, but I've watched like 40 videos in the past 3 days, so it's a lot to sift through.  I could very well be wrong on it though, so I'll make sure to check before I go around spouting off about punishable autospark.  I have seen the autospark triggered through various projectiles and long range attacks on numerous occasions though, so it can be baited pretty easily.  My only real beef with Half Moon (as I said earlier) is the instant health recovery.  Even in Full Moon, you have to reach Blood Heat to get the insta-recovery.  Half Moon you get it every 200%, without taking time to activate.  With all the disadvantages of not having control over sparks or countering after shield, you could call it balanced.  It still doesn't change the fact that I think it's lame.  Anyway, it's not like I'm saying the style is unplayable, so cool your jets Phor.  I just am pointing out that it's still a noob mode, purely for the fact that it does a good number of things for you (that I personally would like to have control over).  Also I'm poking fun at all the Half Moon lovers.  GOTTA KEEP DAT DRAMA!  h8h8h8

So anyway, watching more videos I've come to really like how KoumaF plays.  Ground comboing into his antiair grab makes me smile, and it looks like it can be used as an ender to the corner 236c combo.  I also didn't realize that KoumaC has both the old j.236 kicks AND the downward angled new kick moves.  That's pretty interesting.  Oh, and did anyone else notice how KoumaC would do some sort of 123 combination attack at the end of some ground strings?  From the sound of the hits, they were all c attacks, so it seemed like there were too many to just be command normals. 

Also, NanayaH's new 623c, the shoryu where he has a shadow nanaya kicking up from the opposite angle.  That shit has a lot more range than I initially realized.  It actually creates the shadow Nanaya directly behind the opponent, no matter how far away they actually are.  In addition to the relatively massive range, it also has invincibility frames at the beginning.  It's pretty much complete bullshit at this point.  His 236 attacks are much faster now too.  They are so fast you can actually 2c 236a aircombo, which is surprising.  I wanna see more NanayaF though.  It looks like the flash kick ender to his 623 is either specific to one particular version or is a command ender, since one instance I saw a NanayaF do a quick 623a (I'm guessing) and fastfall right after.  So either he can now option select after a 623 or maybe 623a recovers instantly in the air and 623b/c do the flash kick ender.  Either way, interesting stuff.  I want to see if any of his 22 or 214 moves have been changed though, since he didn't do much in the few matches I saw.  OH!  And it looks like there's reduced lag after a fastfall!  I saw a Nanaya FF INTO an attack and he blocked it immediately on landing.

HM's pros outweigh its cons. It's not like auto counterattack or auto spark influences the outcome of a match significantly. But auto life regen as I've seen in the vids shift the balance in a match a lot. Which is why you saw a lot of HM players.

Yeah, it's pretty easily punished if you know the hitboxes on your normals well.  But really, what's the point of baiting their spark when it's unpunishable and they already have gained back all their red life?  Noob mode advantages are starting to make me worry.  Worst case scenario: either the MB community embraces it and eventually that's basically all that will be played competitively, or it is banned from competitive play altogether.  I'd rather not see either come to fruition, so I hope that Half Moon isn't as stupidly advantageous as it is looking in the early stages.

And holy shit NanayaH's simple 2ab5b2c5c j.bc j.bc j.ex donkey kick does like 5.5k damage.  I assume NanayaF can also use the kick in the air, and with damage like that (even after proration) it's pretty beefy.  I can imagine a NanayaF doing a ground chain > 623b > j.bc > j.ex kick or something similar for a basic 100% meter combo.

Btw, Akira, what's the deal with the added hit after 5c that NanayaF sometimes did?  Is it a command normal, or a 5cc?
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: Dragonthorn September 25, 2008, 01:31:19 AM
What's with all the hate guys? I was just sharing my thoughts on the vids I watched. You don't have to accept it if you like. It's not like I'm making any assertions or anything.

I was basing it solely on the auto-heat function. FM's only unique feature would be charging the MC, and that doesn't figure to be as useful as auto-heat.

As for varying movesets and normals per char for each mode, that remains to be seen. But really, are any of those normals gonna be as good as auto-heat? And from what it looks like from certain chars only, HM normals / movesets = FM normals / movesets.

Now I'm no fan of HM either. In fact, I'm worried that this will be the dominant groove used in tourneys based on the reasons stated above. As a matter of fact, that's what we're seeing in the small sample of vids we've seen so far.

It has been seen. And in fact in general it seems that they were given inferior moves, normals and options compared to the other style to balance it out. H-Hisui is just like C-Hisui with her most important tool stripped from her, and H-Akiha is lucky that her new j.C is so buff cause that's all she has really and she's been severly lacking in terms of mixups so far. H-vAkiha lost her j.C knockdown so now she has to rely on airthrow which are much less effective, and the loss of pits for pressure doesn't do anything good for her either.

Now this may not be true for every characters, but it certainly is for a few of them.

Actually, from what I've seen, most Half movesets seem more similar to the Crescent/MBAC forms.  Off the top of my head I remember Shiki, Warc, Kouma, Nanaya, Nero, Miyako, w.Len, Hisui, and Reis all have Half forms that are most similar to Crescent forms.  They usually have at least one Full move or a unique move that's either complete bullshit (as in stupid good, see: m.hisuiH's vic viper, nanayaH's new shoryu, warcH's blood teleports, roaH's ex heiro) or just dumb gimmicky shit (see: kohakuH's time bomb), but overall they're usually more similar to Crescent than Full.
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again

The problem with Half Moon is that you don't really have control over when you heat activate. If you're low on health and stuck at around 100%, you have to gain 100% meter to heal before you die, which isn't a problem for Crescent. My judgment on Full Moon is resting on the fact that apparently you can't Heat Activate until you're in MAX. If you could do it, then it would see much stronger to me. Right now it looks like you lose out on a lot of healing in Full Moon because of the minimal Circuit control.

200% circuit isn't really uncommon, so you'll be constantly auto-heating and recovering all the red damage during the fight.

If you're low enough that you need heat RIGHT NOW in half-moon, you probably don't have any red damage to recover anyway.

Wow.  Thanks for pointing that out, I didn't notice that at all.  So Crescent gets the ability to manually enter Heat anytime as long as you're above 100%, but the others get insta-regen when actually entering Heat.  How KoumaF went into Heat confuses me though.  As far as I've seen, anytime a Full moon character Heats when in Max, they go into Blood Heat.  So...how do you get this shit to come out?

It's hard to say anything else about it just from that.

Wth? A bug? The game is considerably new. Otherwise there's just no proper explanation.

Looks like a KoF max mode type of thing where you activate it during mid animation...
My guess is that this is an FM version of that insta-heat/heal similar to the HM.

: Dragonthorn September 26, 2008, 12:04:14 AM
The problem with Half Moon is that you don't really have control over when you heat activate. If you're low on health and stuck at around 100%, you have to gain 100% meter to heal before you die, which isn't a problem for Crescent. My judgment on Full Moon is resting on the fact that apparently you can't Heat Activate until you're in MAX. If you could do it, then it would see much stronger to me. Right now it looks like you lose out on a lot of healing in Full Moon because of the minimal Circuit control.

200% circuit isn't really uncommon, so you'll be constantly auto-heating and recovering all the red damage during the fight.

If you're low enough that you need heat RIGHT NOW in half-moon, you probably don't have any red damage to recover anyway.

EDIT: Rumor mill's churning and saying MBAA is console-bound for 2009 and PC-bound for 2010. Anyone got any sources?

That's the thing. 200% is easy to get into. So you'll actually be recovering your red life constantly, thus maximizing the total recoverable life you can ever achieve in a match minus the risk of heat baiting.

Nanaya and Shiki HM actually looks like they have better normals than their CM versions. HM Shiki looks like a beast with an additional poke move.

Ren Aegis Reflector.

That is all.
Tried out Len's Aegis. It is more than a Aegis...but a very fun Aegis!

Full Moon Len
236 = A small round projectile that moves forward. Semi-fast speed.
214 = The Aegis.
The Aegis reflector works similarly to Roa's lightning traps that I mentioned awhile back. Set it up, and do the motion again to active it. However, Len can only set up two max. One on the ground, one in the air.
Here is the fun part, the Aegis themselves won't do anything if the opponent touches them.
So what good are they?
Do a 214 again, and you'll cause them to move. (Didn't get a thorough chance to try out everything, looks like depending what button you use, they'll go either Up/Down or Left/Right)
214 in the air is a Aegis that will move upward, or downward.
214 on ground is a Aegis that will move left, or right.
The fun part is if you do an Aegis in the air, and have it shoot down, it will slam the enemy into the ground.
Can't remember too well, but ground Aegis I did produced a wallslam effect when it slammed into them.
214C is a giant Aegis that will cause damage on touch.
(That's about all the info I have on F-Moon Len for now.)

Full Moon White Len
236 is a fireball-type projectile that moves at a fairly fast speed. (Not as fast as F Aoko 236, but pretty close)
j.236 acts a bit like Warc's j.214 rings.
j.236A will fire, then you'll drop to the ground.
j.236B will fire, but you'll stall in the air for a bit.
214 are her ice traps she had back in VerA/PS2
214B is a horizontal spreading one.
214A is a vertical spreading one.
214C is the web in the air.
She still has her 2CC and j.2C in this form, as well j.214

Full Moon Kohaku
236A will produce a wallslam effect, as well as 236C
j.236A/B is when Kohaku goes Magical Amber and zooms forward, but when I did this it didn't actually damage them. She just flew.
j.236C is where she will cause damage to them, but I got hit out of it and didn't get to fully see what it could do.

Full Moon Shiki Tohno
...can't say much.
I couldn't figure out what the hell his 22 set of moves really did aside from doing a 22[A] and it had him charge up a kick.
623...is this weird angled jump forward with his knee out. Like Sagat's TigerKnee...TIGERTIGERUPPERCUTTIGERCRUSH  lolol...
236 is a ripoff of Nanaya's 236. Didn't try much else with this, but I think there is more to it.
Yeah...not much I got out of using Tohno. :X

Full Moon Shiki Nanaya
Depending on which 623 you use, you must press the button again to get a special effect
623A, pressing a button at the end will cause Nanaya to do a j.22.
623B, pressing a button at the end will cause Nanaya to do a flash kick.
623C, pressing a button at the end will cause Nanaya to do a flash kick.
Basically, just press a button after to get something else, if not you get regular 623.
236 Nanaya will do a horizontal slash
236 has up to two followups from the initial hit(like Kouma 236)
First 236 = a slash
Second 236 = a second slash
Third 236 = a 214B
236C is a slash then followed by the 236C we all know from MB days.
Hit a airborne opponent with the second hit of 236, and it caused them to slam to the ground
Note: Nanaya F does not have chargeable 22B
lolisauce that's great to hear you'll be back man!
I was trying 5C out, but it was a standing kick. So I'm thinking what you saw was his 236, the horizontal slash with his knife, right?
Most I got out of 5[C] was that it was chargeable, don't know it's properties though.

That's about all I got out of today.

Nanaya and Shiki HM actually looks like they have better normals than their CM versions. HM Shiki looks like a beast with an additional poke move.
I don't remember much about ShikiH, but I'd say that NanayaC looks superior to NanayaH unless NanayaH has 22.[b] and the ability to wallslam combo off 214b in the corner.  Out of what I've seen so far, NanayaH has a real good 623c for punishing, but the move's new properties makes it look like you can no longer do a 623c corner combo.  Also NanayaH's new normals look like they have MUCH less range and also less forward movement, putting a damper on his pressure.  As far as NanayaF goes, it looks like his new 623 is one of the best of them all, with the ability to easily combo off of 623b/c or FF out of the 623a for a safe recovery (since the FF is super fast and you have control instantly upon hitting ground now).  Also the ability to use the j.donkey kick EX to finish off aircombos is pretty beefy.  I'll have to see how the new 236 works though, before I make any real judgement as to if he's better or worse than the others.

And thanks for all the info Akira.  It's good to get some hard info on LenF, w.LenF, and NanayaF.  You've answered a lot of my questions for Nanaya, especially.  I'm really just dumbfounded that they've made ShikiF so blatantly similar to Nanaya though.  With all the directions they could take him, why do they have to just make him a Nanaya clone?  Ugh...upsetting...

Are there still going to be any tweaks made to the game before it comes out? HM can use a little nerfing, like decreasing the possible recoverable life compared to the other grooves.

HM Shiki looks stronger than CM Shiki. Better poke move (2C) that almost make him like nanaya in terms of reach.

Yes you can play two players with only one naomi, SF4 is as far as i know the only fighting game you need two boards to, unless you count the gundam vs series as FGs.
The need for capcom kick harness will depend first on what cabinet you will play, Naomi is a JVS system (commands are on usb but different standard than pc) so unless you have a JVS cabinet (like naomi universal cabs) you'll need a converter to use it in a classic jamma cabinet, the sega one have 5 buttons wired to the jamma so you can play MBAA directly, with the capcom converter you'll need a kick harness to get all the buttons.
For questions about cabs, i think you should go ask there http://www.arcadeotaku.com/forum

: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: Mistwraith September 29, 2008, 04:20:14 AM
Well summary of characters I used so far . . .

Riesbyfe
Overall nice character, I only really tried her in her half moon mode, her crescent moon and full moon somehow doesn't fit my style. She has air dashes like Aoko and Nero which is a straight air dash, her jumping C comes out a little slow compared to the rest, is chargable. If you do a instant air dash followed by a jC, please do take note that the C might not come in time.

Her jB is where she uses the pointed end of her shield and hits u, long range. She also has a jumping 6C which does a wall slam effect if it connects. Animation wise is similar to her jB. Overall those who played with my Riesbyfe knows that she has a good mid range poke by using 2B or 5B and whiffing it with either 2A or 5A. Her 5B has around quarter of a screen range, and she will move forward a little while doing that move. She also has a 6B move in which she does a fast close range punch.

Her 5A is a kick which hits low, 2A is also a fast poking kick. 5B would be as what i mentioned before, 2B she would crouch and does what she did in 5B just without the moving forward thing. 5C she attacks forward with her shield, mid hit, 2C she does a slide move, not very far, dangerous if it doesn't connect. There is a little window of time where you can punish her if her 2C misses.

Half Moon Mode
236A / B / C -- She uses her shield and charges at the enemy, is rather punishable so don't really try to do it unless you are certain of it connecting.

623A / B / C -- Circular uppercut, A version is a very low uppercut which she uses her shield and does a circular attack, similar to Haomaru from Samurai Shodown or Youmu's DP from IAMP and SWR. B version she goes up higher vertically. Ex version is similar to B version, just with multiple hits.

214A / B / C -- A version has a weird hit box, I never really hit anyone with it, B hits mid, while C hits people who are blocking low, so I guess you have to block it high.

63214 A / B / C -- She stays stationary and uses her shield to hit enemies who are close, A version requires you to be beside the enemy to hit, B version will have a delay effect and is slightly, just slightly hits further than B. This move seems to have super armor for a while when you execute it, but I think is only for maybe 1-2 hits.

41236 C -- Arcdrive where she charges forward with her pointed end of her shield and hits for around 5-6 hits, decent dmg

Her BNB combo for me on the ground is, 2A, 2B, 2C, 5C, 5B, jA, jC, jA, jC, airthrow.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vampire / Tatari Sion
Same as Riesbyfe, I only really tried her in half moon mode. Some new changes about her is that in half moon mode, her 5C attack is able to be whiffed now into lower strength attacks like 5A, 2A etc. In addition she has a new 6A, 6A, 6A move in which similar to MBAC Ciel's boxing punches, she will do a punch, a knee kick then a forward kick, it is also whiffable into other attacks. It knocks the opponent into the air at the end of the last 6A, so you can just aircombo after it.

Her BNB launcher move which was 3B in MBAC has been changed to 3C instead. And her 5B attack also has been changed to 5C instead with a new animation, instead of a doing a kick standing on 1leg ( sorry for my description ), she does a forward flip kick now, it is also chargable. Her jB animation also has been changed, from doing a punch or slap whatever you wanna call it to a lame 45 degrees low kick. It looks damn weird to me =p

And something to take note in her pressure strings now, her 2B is very weak now, its range is like even shorter than her 2A. Her 5B also has its animation changed from a standing knee kick to a wave of her arm 45 degrees forward. Her 6B got replaced with a new attack where she shoots a small tornado out melee range. Accordingly to Fisyher, it is chargable and its range will increase with charging. Not that useful, I didn't bother to use it much.

Half Moon Mode
236A / B / C -- Same claw move which is also in MBAC

623A / B / C -- Same claw uppercut move, the C version is different now though, if the opponent is too high in the air when you do it, it only hits the enemy once. If the height is just nice, it will do multiple hits with smaller claws animation hitting the enemy from left and right, looks nice but is a nerf in my opinion compared to her MBAC C version.

214A / B / C -- Same move as her MBAC incarnation where she summons Arcuied, Satsuki or Akiha out depending on the button used.

41236C -- Arcdrive move, same old one from MBAC.

Well for Vsion BNB combos, she has so much possibility now with her 5C whiffable and the addition of 3 x 6A. For me, the most damaging arrangement for me would be 2A, 5B, 5C, 6A, 6A, 2C, 3C, jB, jC, jB, jC, airdash jC, airthrow.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Miyako
Miyako in MBAA has nice changes, her 5C is now also whiffable into 5A, 2A etc like Vsion. If you hit enemy with a 5B and if you press B again, she will do a punch similar to her jB which will knocks the enemy all the way to the wall, producing a wall slam effect. She has a new kick move which is similar to Guilty Gear's Jam dragon kick. It is executable also in the air. In return for that, she can't do her 623 move in the air anymore. It is done using 236 motion so which means she loses her old ground elbow charging move.

She also gain a new overhead elbow move in which she jumps and using her elbow to hit the enemy. And she is also slower if you try to do a super jump forward and spam jump As, she doesn't travel that far now with it. Her jB has slightly shorter range compared to her MBAC incarnation but still has the overhead property. Her 2C animation has been changed from a crouching round house to a kick similar to White Len's 2C. Recovery seems to be faster than the old 2C. Not sure if she still retains her 6B, will find out more this week.

Half Moon Mode
236A / B / C -- The new dragon kick as I call it, A version will launch Miyako 45 degrees in the air, B version is lower to the ground. The EX version C is similar to B. Executable in the air.

623A / B / C -- Same move from MBAC incarnation. Not able to execute it anymore in the air.

214A / B / C -- Same move too from MBAC, A version looks the same to me, B version has been changing slightly, she now does a hop forward before doing the punch, is further than the MBAC incarnation. I can't really confirm for EX version, not much change to do it, will find out more this week too.

22A / B / C -- Same move, A version is the same, B version doesn't seem to launch enemy in the air now, same as the EX version. I will try to confirm for the EX version too T_T

Miyako's BNB for me is 2A, 5B, 2B, 5C, 2C, 3C, jB, jC, jB, jC, airthrow.

Might be old news to some people, but when Full Moon characters get into MAX, they can either go into Blood Heat, which has the same startup and animation as everybody else, or they can go into regular Heat(command unknown).  The animation for going into regular heat is much much faster and is pretty much instant, I think there was an earlier video posted here that showed Kouma doing it.

What happened? Seems like Shiki threw Akiha while she was auto-sparking.
I guess that confirms that auto spark is throw punishable.

What happened? Seems like Shiki threw Akiha while she was auto-sparking.

And not sure if this has been mentioned before, but in the same video at 7:03, seems like Ciel's projectiles can now be deflected. I've seen another sample of this before that happened to KohakuH. I think it was her charged 5C that shot a knife out from her broom (not sure) and it kept getting deflected back at her, actually hitting her and causing damage. Can't remember which video it was.
2 things observed by that video.

Tropsy was talking about this earlier. If half moon reaches 200% meter while being combo'd, they do not go into heat until the combo ends. However, if you are air comboing an h character who has 200 meter, and drop the combo (purposely or by accident), they will heat as soon as the combo becomes invalid and consequentially autospark (because they are in hitstun).

The video also proved that not only can you punish autospark by throwing, but you can throw BEFORE the actual spark hit comes out and avoid the hit all together.

Something I wonder: I've seen players cancel ground attacks into regular throws on HIT, so I wonder if it is possible to have a 2a (or any attack) hit them WHILE they are in heat mode, trigger autospark,  then immediately cancel into ground throw to throw them before the circuit spark hits you.

: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again

Health recovery only happens when the character is in heat in a none-hitstun or blockstun state.

CIEL CONFIRMED FOR GOD TIER

AGAIN
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: AkiraTheMastodon October 02, 2008, 03:23:08 AM
Also, about that roman cancel...
It's pretty basic.
Just have MAX while playing as F Moon, then when you do a normal, press ABC and it'll cut the recovery and you can just do another move after.
Doing this will pretty much just give you a normal heat bar rather than a blood heat.
Only way (To my knowledge) to get into Normal Heat as F.

Tried F Ciel today...
214A is a regular black key throw, tried charging it but nothing happened.
214B is three black keys thrown into the air. (Hi Sakuya)
214C is three black keys thrown downward. Meaning no EX for her 214.
236A is a quick fist jab at the opponents legs. (Hi Yamazaki)
236B is a quick fist jab at the opponnts head.
236C will do a fist jab horizontally, I didn't get a chance to actually try this on someone though.

623 is still blade sinker, and 22 is still ciel somersault, j.214 key throws still here,  her j.236 is still there as well.
I didn't get a chance to try out her dash junks though.

She has 3B in this form. That...kick thing...

F Ciel can just do like 2ABC 4C -> aerial blah blah as a bnb

Tried out Hisui & Kohaku today...and...
They have Heart Markers. Five of them. Each one stands for a assist use, if you use them all up and try to use an assist then the assisting maid will stumble and fall down...for a VERY long ass time.
Didn't get too much of a chance to test out the assists, but you can call assists in the air. FullMoon can do 236D to replenish markers. 

All H Moon chara's can do 6AAA.
So far I've only tried Nanaya's and Aoko's...
I only had a chance to try Aoko's one once. So I didn't get too much of a good look at it...
Nanaya's is like...
6A he will do a hook with his left arm. (Think it was his left?)
6A again will have him do a palm jab, kind of like what Miyako's j.B looks like in the air.
6A a third time will have him slash his knife, sort of like his 236 in F Moon...but when I did it pointblank I passed through the opponent and on to the other side.

214B is three black keys thrown into the air. (Hi Sakuya)

Sakuya needs to know that Ciel was playing IaMP, and took her move!

Forgot to mention stuff about F Miyako and F Vsion.

F Miyako
421 is where she jumps up and does a elbow drop. A overhead.
214 is the same, and can be charged. (Don't know what it would be...overhead/unblockable?)
623 is the same.
22 is the same.
236 is her ryuujin, the angle this thing goes at is whack, I haven't got a good idea of what to use this for yet.

F V Sion
236 is a overhead, the hop with the claws.
6B is her How do I Shot Web. Can be charged.
214 is a move that resembles her last arc, how she lunges forward with her fist. (Etherlite Thrust lolol)
623 is the same.
5B can be charged, and 5C. (Don't know if it's overhead / unblockable)
j.C is the same.
2C is the sliding kick, like Sion's 2C.

There were various other things, but I can't remember right now.

That's a spark throw punish. Who knows maybe Tohno did it too late in your video, you don't know.

If I wanted to get technical I could say that WASN'T a circuit spark punish because the throw came out BEFORE Akiha even CS'd. You hear the sound effect of a successful throw before the circuit spark. I'm surprised you didn't catch it.

And about the video I linked, Akiha was CLEARLY in her recovery frames of her CS so Nanaya doing it too late....I'm not buying it

Anyways, out of the 150+ matches that was uploaded on that account that video was the ONLY where someone threw someone out of a CS, the very last hit of an aircombo where they CS'd (Which again if I want to get technical it WASN'T a circuit spark punish) and out of those 150+ I've yet to see someone punish a Circuit Spark in its recovery frames. I've seen more proof of it either failing or even getting them killed (lol Ciel) than I have seen of it getting punished.

Basically I think its safe to say that from the videos we've seen so far that its impossible to punish an Circuit Spark in its recovery frames while punishing a CS like the video you linked is still not likely to happen as often as people would like it to.

After going to 8 different game centers today, I finally found a game center with an empty MBAA cab.
The harder part was getting the camera to record this shit
had to balance my bag on top my lap then my camera on top that , could barely do moves without the camera falling, but whatever
Half Moon Nanaya is missing quite a bit of stuff unfortunately, lotta people were looking at me like wtf was I doing. Putting in credits on both sides, running back and forth, balancing cameras and shit, so i tried to rush it and leave
well, if I do go back and it's empty, I'll try and finish the vids up (Not like I intend to go to Shibuya Club Sega as often as other places)

Now I know what that sword-flash does. She doesn't need to Shield anymore.

Is it me or does Full-Moon actually lower your overall damage since with no rebeats and you cant do 5C2C and stuff like that there are less hits in a combo and combos average about 2.5-3.5k damage? VAkiha and Satsuki are exceptions, of course.
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: AkiraTheMastodon October 05, 2008, 04:06:02 AM
lmao i was playing around with F Kohaku today....FUN
the ...whatever it is she shoots out is 6C.
I tried to press 6C by itself, but all that came out was a 5C poke. So I'm guessing the only way to get it to come out is charging it up. So it'd be 6[C] I guess?

Anyway found out also that...(I don't know the name of it, I think it's Initiative Hit, I'll need to check...I'll refer to it as RC IH I guess)
The Roman Cancel  Initiative Hit for MBAA will work for Normals/Moves/Air
So you can probably come up with some funky stuff in Full Moon...what I want to try now is 236B 236B cancel 236B 236B or something dumb with F Nanaya lolol

Small combos doesn't necessarily mean small damage.  ReisF was doing a lot of damage without a lot of hits.  NeroF also was doing more damage in his C/H style counterparts regarding their normal HOA bnb.  I'm guessing either his normals are a lot stronger or they just prorate less.  MiyakoF also had some pretty sweet stuff involving comboing into flying elbow and comboing off of that. 

I'm guessing that we just haven't seen that much of F characters because of their massive difference in playstyle with no reverse beats and such.  In time more players will start to play them and we'll start seeing more interesting shit being discovered.

I wonder if anyone ever found out about it or just didn't bother to mention it, but there is "gravity" in this game now ala GGAC although not to the extent. Its most evident in cCiel's 214[A]  loop http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xK_mzPOe80Y <--- 2:16-2:37. Notice how at the begining of the loop Akiha launch height is pretty high, but after 7 reps she barely launchs over Ciel's head enabling Ciel to just do 214[A] omitting the 4{B} for a total of 17 valid reps (18th becomes invalid). It first caught my eye when I first noticed her doing ONLY 214[A] to keep the loop going and it got me wondering how the hell is she doing ONLY 214[A] to keep this loop going? Then I decided to look at Akiha's sprite and noticed the difference in launch height after the 7th rep. So its looks like its 100% confirmed that this IS NOT an infinite and I'm thankful it isn't. Although 17 reps is a bit too excessive even for this game  :-\

: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: AkiraTheMastodon October 18, 2008, 06:24:52 AM
alright so pretty much as everyone knows by now, the "secret" chara is Neco Arc.
Highlight Arcueid, press Start and it'll switch to Neco.
Tried to highlight Nero and press Start to see if maybe NAC would be there too, but no dice.

Full Moon Neco is terrible terrible fail.
236 beams now have her hop up at an angle toward the opponent, then she fires his eye beams from the air.
214 is where she will burrow into the ground, however this is now a move that does damage.
214A will have her burrow into the ground, and a moment later she will spring up very high. Deals damage on contact, haven't found a way to follow up.
214B is different. If you hold the button, she will continue to burrow towards the opponent. Release button to have her pop up.
214C is not an EX , but she will stay in the ground for a longer period of time before springing up.

Her airdash is different, she'll spiral towards the enemy at a decent speed. (No longer the floating airdash)

Moves that are the same for F are...
j.236, j.214, 22, 623, 63214

She has a far reaching j.C (Her leg will extend outward)
Her 5C is different, somewhat resembles Satsuki's j.B (Where she crosses her arms...is that what it is?)

Her 5A is different, it now resembles the jabs she does in Kagetsu Tohya(Or was it Tsukihime?)

She can do a 6A, it's the same as MBAC verB2 6A, but only one. No Neco One Two Three.
j.2C is still there, j.2B is still there, chargable 2B as well, same as chargable 5B.

Not much to say, really.

http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=O3oR9-bWhP4

It's kind of nice to be able to do 5B 2B combos in Full Moon, but with Neco, her 5B kind of makes it useless, since the 5B will just launch them REALLY high.
I'm hoping H Neco Arc is better than this, or C Neco gets neat stuff.

First of all.Akiha having an infinite on F moon can cause serious problems

VAkiha didnt have auto heat.She manually does it but Akiha's Arc drive gave her some "invincibility" against the knockback effect of heat activation.

5:03 part:I think thats a new move.

I was stuck playing casuals at akiba with Mike last week and ended up watching a fair amount of AA for the first time really since it hit.

That said, which ever version of Aoko that has the helicopter aircombos into ex orb into either another aircombo or reset into unblockable, that shit is broken. The bnb does respectable damage in it's own right, and then full charged beam for free(unavoidable I think? I didn't see any one shield it) is just too good. Her new power wave-like move is also top tier.

All in all, AA seems really broken right now, but also seems like it has the potential to diversify Melty gameplay in ways that could make it appeal to way more people. It kind of plays like what I imagine Guilty Gear Alpha 3 would play like, with the isms totally changing your characters and every thing.

so full moon can charge faster
you can control how fast you regain life in Half Moon (dunno, i asked my roommate on this one) {maybe changed so that it's slower or something, dunno}

something about the when you push two buttons at the same time and the pressure applied was a inconvenience and got changed

the way guarding backwards(crossups w/e) has been changed

since chara changes are pretty easy to read, i won't go into detail on it
but if you see
空中 = j.
攻 = All moves in that set

フルムーンスタイル = Full Moon
ハーフムーンスタイル = Half Moon
クレセントムーンスタイル = Crescent Moon
全スタイル共通 = All Styles
共通システム部分の変更点 = System Changes
アークドライブ(アナザーを含む) = Arc Drive (Another Arc Drive)

someone should just edit the spread sheet to english lol

Roa and Dust of Osiris got def buffs, Maid's life got altered (Don't know how, for better...or for...worse!?)

anyway someone will go into more detail than me prolly later on so yeah

it goes like
Chara - All Styles - Crescent - Full - Half

I translated and entered the English equivalent for everything on the list. For the record, it's probably not too perfect, since the changelog was pretty vague or some aspects.

Thoughts:
-Kouma's command grab into back wallslam has been changed. I assume they are probably taking out the "COMPLETELY UNTECHABLE HAHA YOU TAKE 5K ANYWHERE ON THE SCREEN" aspect of it, but who knows, maybe they will make it easier.
-Most of the infinites look like they've been removed. Hopefully that's the last we'll see of them.
-If Kohaku's 222222EX is what I think it is, I think they probably took out the confusion combo. If not, banzai!  :toot:

Maybe the changelog(s) will get their own thread if more of these come out, if not, whatever.

Princess NA is obvious, as is the 22b-causing one. The things I'm confused about is what the roof-raising and the flying ones do (if anything), and why the chargers seem to only do damage half the time.

Is Ver. A just a new release for the arcade, or is it some sort of PC/consol port?
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: Sprint October 28, 2008, 09:48:03 AM
Ver.A is a patch for the arcade version.

...and yeah, making autospark punishable would be pretty silly, though some people have been a bit creative and found ways about it.

There's already been a number of ways found to deal with auto-spark, such as simply shielding it.  It doesn't need to be punishable.

ok so after a bit of testing, i think this is when IH is allowed

an IH is allowed during the point of a normal or move that would be EX cancellable

so for example, the first hit of nanaya 623B can be cancelled into a EX or Arc Drive
so during this first hit, you can IH it

dunno, probably will try more, or someone else can clarify and test

it'll probably take a long ass time for it to be ported, look how long it took B2 to be ported to PC
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: Dragonthorn November 06, 2008, 07:57:30 AM
Hopefully it does not take them that long to port it. Just them releasing a quick ver A update made me hope that they would get to working on a console / PC port sooner.
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again
: Ryanbomber November 06, 2008, 04:32:06 PM
Psst.

They've been going at a rate of about 1 MB release per year.

2008 was AA, 2007 was AC PC, 2006 was AC PS2, 2005 was AC arcade, 2004 was Re-Act, 2003 was the only year without a release, and 2002 was vanilla. So we'll get a home AA release in 2009 probs.

: Mistwraith November 06, 2008, 10:25:22 PM
From the looks of it, console is usually gonna come out first. But when it is gonna be out is still a big question. The makers would usually delay the console version for a while so that the arcades are able to make money out from the games first. And from the previous MBAC case, the console most probably wouldn't be the final balanced version.

: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again

The only things people should be thinking about when considering the if it's coming to console(in order of relevance):

Officially announced as happening/not happening.
Snippets from people from the inside regarding the likelihood of it happening.
How well the previous one sold and their reaction.

You can check ecole or sony for any of these, but remember one side saying they want it isn't enough if the other side doesn't want it to happen.

Anything else is just speculation, and the only kind of speculation I would find even remotely worth considering is if there was a huge popularity shift with MB(which I don't think there is), enough to the point where a console release would be near definitive based on popularity alone.

ok, in what way did i even hint that this was imo a complete tier list? As for all the char types not being listed, the 'best' moon for each char was probably singled out and ranked (?). Well this shit all doesnt matter anyway and the point I was trying to make is that this list is going to be outdated pretty damn soon so I dont see what all the raging/celebrating is about (on srk too).

That revisions list is looking pretty angry too so you can bet your ass that no one is coming out of this alive. I just hope the changes encourage more Moon variety.

Maybe I should've said an actual tier list instead of complete tier list. My fault on that.

Reasons why I said what I said isn't because it won't be obsolete (because it shouldn't even exist in the first place because of MBAA Ver.A and the game itself is just way too young to tier list atm), but because the tier list only features characters they have used the most. How can you take the best style of each character and base a tier list of that alone when they don't even use all the styles of all the characters to truly see which style is the best in the first place? I mean, it doesn't take more than two months to figure out cCiel is "better" than fCiel when, no one uses fCiel in the first place. Its gonna take a hell of a lot more than that to convince me that cCiel is right below hAoko :thumbs down:

Too brokeass.  Anyone worth their salt knows that ORT is virtually untouchable in Tsukihime's time.  Now, if you're talking a thousand or so years later when the world is occupied with ether liners...well then maybe he's defeatable.

But Ciel 214[A] works differently in those videos, so it can't be the original MBAA. We don't know for sure HM life regen nerf made it to the final cut of Ver. A or not. Maybe they decided if the half moon characters were nerfed enough they didn't need to nerf the healing. That Akiha looks like he's dropping a lot of combos that I wouldn't expect someone to drop and what looked like a full bnb only did 3700 as opposed to 4500. It might be Ver. A, it might not be.
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again

That's good thinking except for the fact that Akira has played the (most recent) loc test of version a and it has half moon life regen that is the same speed as crescent. Remember the game isn't out yet, so there is no "final cut".

Also wtf how does ciel's 214[a] look any different in those videos? It looks like the player is using 2c trip instead of infinite.

theres a little 'version a' logo in the top left when char screen loads, pretty easy to miss tho. Aside from the new mechanics changes, i think theres also a slightly different airdash graphic (more bubbles!)

That would be nice.

...I hate to sound needy, but does anybody know if there's an in-depth guide to the character changes? I'm getting a pretty good idea from all these 55 pages, but it would be nice to get something a bit more specific to Nero.

I realize it's a bit much to ask, of course. The game is still relatively new, and it's probably pretty hard to get a chance to just get on a machine by yourself and test out everything a character can do, not to mention it costing more than a dollar per play.
: Re: Melty Blood: Actress Again

Well, apparently Akira said there's a mook supposed to have been released at the end of last month.  If someone can catch wind of that, we'll have all that info.  Until then, just look for a MBAA thread in the Nero character section here.  I've only really been keeping up with a couple characters in detail, but I think every character has a MBAA thread by now.

Mm, upon invesitgation, the MBAA Nero thread (http://www.meltybread.com/forums/index.php?topic=1946.0) is pretty skimpy.  Looks like you'll have to watch a lot of videos.  lol

MBAA Nero is skimpy because it's almost exactly the same as MBAC Nero. Half Moon just has a dash 2A and bee instead of EX deer, and full moon has starmine crows.

The gator is what happens when you take EX Snake and make it go as slow as B snake. Then make it not actually have full screen range and not really launch like EX Snake did.

There's no way they're exactly the same as old Nero; 5B and 5C are completely different, as is 2C, and I haven't even SEEN EX Deer (or Deer at all!) used even once. Seems nobody uses anything but F-Nero, and I've only seen them use EX Crows, EX Mud, and (oddly enough) some special that I swear was the bees. I haven't seen the Phantasm even once (does he still have that?), and nobody ever uses his Arc Drive (though I don't figure that's changed).

One more thing about characters in general; did all the Last Arcs get immensely powered down?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0_5K0KtCCs#t=2m30s
It only does ~2500 damage.

It only does ~2500 damage.
5B has less range, 5C is usable as a poke like 4C, 3C is useless as anything but a launcher, 2C goes forward instead of up, and ex creepers are pretty much the same thing as deers for pressure. As far as normals go, his 5B got worse so now you have to be sure you'll hit with it, 5C is usable but it's not really better than 4C as a poke so it's not anything significant, 2C isn't as good for AA but is actually a ground to ground poke now, and 4C is exactly the same. 5A/2A are just Melty 5A/2A. He has "different" moves but they all do 4C's job worse than 4C except for 5B, which just got worse. Bee swarm is the same thing as his claw super right down to the command except it actually comes out all the time and doesn't leave you with -frames on block, and it doesn't wallslam. 214 is exactly the same except with antlions instead of snakes, except only 214B because 214A doesn't chew on them so it's worse than A snake, and 214C is the gator and it's garbage.

And last arc damage is now based on what move you shielded, at least for full moon, since no one has seen enough crescent LAs. Shielding 5A/2A does 2-3k, some specials and 5B/2B does around 4k, and other high damage specials or 5C/2C does around 5-6k. Then there's certain really strong attacks that you can catch in an ex shield that do more. I caught a Kohaku+Mhisui team vagina bomb with Neco Arc's ex shield and the last arc did 13000 damage. Except the computer takes more damage because of difficulty settings and since it was a non playable character the vagina bomb has really weird properties and the character might also have low defense.

Coinupexpress prices are quite high, and after what they did to a friend i would recommend not to buy there (they sold  him an used Tekken 6 for his arcade, but they actually sold it BEFORE they even bought it from japan, ha had to wait more than one month after payment to get it), to buy brand new games better go with japanese shops as fujita (http://www.fujitacommunications.com) or riverservice (http://www.rs2006.co.jp/index_e.html), prices are way better, i got games and other stuff from the two and never had a problem, very fast every time.

Just played MBAA for the first time last night at Arcade Infinity. My most major impression is *holy crap jump gravity is way different*. I think I like the game though, half-moon & full-moon akiha are great. Tried out Riezbyfe and Roa too, Riezbyfe might end up my alt  :mystery:

They can't. AA runs on the same hardware AC did, which isn't the case with AH1 and 2.

Since the port of AC wasn't screwed up, I highly doubt that they're going to screw up the AA port.

  Lets just take a look at this situation for a bit.  You have a game that's not even popular in the United States (In arcades atm anyway) and a community that is not that large supporting it.  Then have that same game ported to an old console where its impossible to update it (Who even knows how smoothly it will run initially.) and with no netplay options.  Then you have blazblue which has everything it doesn't staring everyone in the face.  Will the community die?  Probably not entirely, but it won't be attracting new players or even many of the older players.  This is all assuming its only released for the PS2, if its released for the PC or next gen consoles then ignore this post.

It doesn't matter if it's a PS2 or PC as long as the game is released I'm fine with it. Oh yeah, the only reason why it would matter if it's released on the PC or PS2 are for the people that either travel to tournaments and the people who just stay at home and netplay all day (Which is sadly 3/4 of the MB community). Regardless if it was on PS2 or PC...you'd go to tournaments and support the game if you cared for the US community that much. Also lets look at where are the MB cabs located:

West Coast....LOL
Texas...who the fuck plays in Texas seriously outside of Pfhor?
NYC...$1 and the buttons are always jacked up and it's not even Ver.A
Philly...$1 2/3 rounds.

While netplay would help the scene learn matchups faster, other scenes can and have done without it. We as melty blood players have to task ourselves with growing the scene just like NYC did when MBAC was first released on the PS2 back in 2006. Did they use netplay to advertise MB? No, they advertised the game at tournaments and we have it a hell of a lot easier now seeing that people such as Eric and Larry (Host of Final Round) are giving us a spot as official games and even going as far as putting it on the big screen. Did they complain about it being on the PS2? Maybe, but they still stuck with it and we're right back in that same situation, but this time we're actually somewhat known for being a (somewhat) hype game and being (somewhat) of a decent fighter. This community won't die as long as we keep supporting our own game by going to tournaments, leveling up, and take ourselves a bit more seriously.

I mean if people are willing to take games such as TvC, Smash (lol), and Ken/Jab Fighter 4 seriously then MB can surely be just as good and hype.

  Yes except all the games you mentioned have much larger scenes so its easier to find games (Except maybe TvC).  You make it sound like the community would be better off without a netplay feature which is retarded.  It's going to be kind of hard/impossible to play other people from other coasts/states without doing some serious traveling.  How is this better than having a netplay option?  It's beyond me.

  Oh and more like who outside Japan takes this game seriously anymore?

All scenes have to start somewhere and grow. He doesn't make it sound like its better off without netplay at all, what he is saying that its possible without netplay to grow and cites other games that have done so. Lots of people stop playing mbac to wait for mbaa.

Netplay isn't necessary for a scene but in this day and age it is definitely an important factor. Most people don't have the dedication to travel for smaller fighters.

I think he means in the sense that it was playable and didn't lag every other hit unlike a certain game we will not mention on this board.

That's true, but to say the scene won't grow because it wasn't released on PC or Next-Gen is ridiculous.

I had really wanted to get into That Game too, I was ready for a new loli fighter.

And yeah, I remember the days when I would session PS2 MBAC with Spooky and Arlieth. The scene was fragmented and small and netplay brought it together, but in the end it's the determination of the players that keep it going. Netplay is a catalyst.

Well, determination of players and accessibility, obviously. I think a PS2 is far more accessible than PC because of portability and easy setup (important factors for a tourney). If people are willing to be serious for a game at the very least they should try to hold offline meets with locals (which I've done for IaMP, even though it's a 95% netplay-based game in the US). If they're unable to do that or travel to a tourney where the game has a presence then clearly they're not serious enough.

Which in itself is a bit of a problem. There will always be scrub casual /jp/ players, but the real scene is dying. When MBAC came out, the scene was still growing, and now it's tanking. People forgot about every WT after 10, AM doesn't actually have Melty, FR doesn't have Melty, etc. There are a handful of new people, but the only one I've seen willing to travel for the game is Masu.

Again, that's because a lot of people are waiting on mbaa. Also after WTX didn't they switch to every month instead of every two months which caused total attendance drop because players couldn't go every month? We aren't the only ones in this situation, Tekken and VF are too.

WT died not because of the players but because Arlieth stopped running tournaments. You also have to keep in mind that even when Arlieth popularized the game (and he tried hard and did a great job; he got a lot of FFA people into it and the entire MB community here is because of him) it was already an old game.

AM was a Melty tourney for like one event, and that event was when it was me taking over for someone else. You have to keep in mind that I have an obvious predilection against MBAC and didn't really have a lot of motivation to keep the hype rolling once AM became "bell's event".

I think people took a while to realize that MBAC was, on many levels, not a very good game. Combine that with a very small scene full of many casual players who were in it only because of Tsukihime and had no real competitive drive and the scene was going to thin itself out over time, which led to a snowball effect: people don't want to play a game with a small scene, which led to people quitting, etc. Combine that with the real driving force behind the scene disappearing and you have what is happening now.

To be fair, Melty's scene isn't even as dead as it was when the game first started out. MBAC gets a lot of play by many people. Most of them probably don't matter, true, but the game isn't dead until you have absolutely nobody playing it, which is more than likely what will happen once MBAA becomes fully accessible. Many of the hardcore players are waiting for the definitive version that is accessible to them as well as a driving force in the community to jumpstart things. Neither of these is available now which is why the scene is stagnating.

  Like Bell said.  Alot of people are waiting for AA to be accessible and the more hardcore players are waiting for the scene to start growing (Me included), without either AA probably does not have a chance.  SF4 can get away with being a terrible game and still thrive because it has a huge scene and netplay.  If they just released a PC version with netplay then it would be very accessible as well probably start the scene up.  The scene in Japan is far superior so it won't die no matter where its ported or whether or not its has netplay (They have tons of arcades.).

I'm sure the Simi folk still think MBAC is still a good game. you can't blame the game if the scene died.

WT died because Arlieth stopped running tournaments. He stopped because you people have a toxic attitude to each other, and even to MB the game itself. I think he finally realized that it wasn't worth the uphill battle to make the community a better place.

If you think just waiting for MBAA to be released on console just so you fuckers can download the game, will revive "the scene" by itself in any way, you'd be mistaken. Netplay is nice and all, but that's not critical mass. WT wasn't dependent on Netplay, nor was it for SF4.

I know some of you have your hearts in the right place, and I wish i had a solution, but i dont. The only thing i can do is keep the WC MBAA machine in working order, and record matches off it.

See this is what baffles me. Why talk shit about a game you claim to support or talk shit about a scene you claim to be a part of when you provide little to no input to said scene/game? Not calling out anyone in particular because you people know who you are. What makes it worse is that with this particular community you can actually get away with shitting on MB because not only other FGCs think "Lol, it's MB so who cares?" But this particular community thinks and will say "Lol, it's MB so who cares?" Again you know who you are. There are tournament players and TOs, who believe it or not, on SRK will say they would love to see MB get bigger because it's a hype game...now when you have MB players saying "Lol, who cares if MB is at a major or not?" Then you're just making yourself and the scene look retarded. And you say you're part of this scene? Get that shit out of here.

If you think just waiting for MBAA to be released on console just so you fuckers can download the game, will revive "the scene" by itself in any way, you'd be mistaken. Netplay is nice and all, but that's not critical mass. WT wasn't dependent on Netplay, nor was it for SF4.

Of course WC or EC wasn't dependent on netplay with MBAC and this is even moreso back when MBAC was on the PS2. Netplay would cater to the people who live too far away from a scene. Now not to say that netplayers who live in the middle of nowhere wouldn't travel out tournaments (Myself, Voomer, Sphyra, Pfhor, and a few others are living proof of that) because we would travel. Netplay would cater to the people who claim to be part of the scene, but won't travel to any of the tournaments or would just say "It's MB. Why would you travel for MB?"

WT died not because of the players but because Arlieth stopped running tournaments. You also have to keep in mind that even when Arlieth popularized the game (and he tried hard and did a great job; he got a lot of FFA people into it and the entire MB community here is because of him) it was already an old game.

--

I think people took a while to realize that MBAC was, on many levels, not a very good game. Combine that with a very small scene full of many casual players who were in it only because of Tsukihime and had no real competitive drive and the scene was going to thin itself out over time, which led to a snowball effect: people don't want to play a game with a small scene, which led to people quitting, etc. Combine that with the real driving force behind the scene disappearing and you have what is happening now.
I'm sure the Simi folk still think MBAC is still a good game. you can't blame the game if the scene died.

WT died because Arlieth stopped running tournaments. He stopped because you people have a toxic attitude to each other, and even to MB the game itself. I think he finally realized that it wasn't worth the uphill battle to make the community a better place.


See this is what baffles me. Why talk shit about a game you claim to support or talk shit about a scene you claim to be a part of when you provide little to no input to said scene/game? Not calling out anyone in particular because you people know who you are. What makes it worse is that with this particular community you can actually get away with shitting on MB because not only other FGCs think "Lol, it's MB so who cares?" But this particular community thinks and will say "Lol, it's MB so who cares?" Again you know who you are. There are tournament players and TOs, who believe it or not, on SRK will say they would love to see MB get bigger because it's a hype game...now when you have MB players saying "Lol, who cares if MB is at a major or not?"

  Except netplay would also cater to tournament goers and serious players so your point claiming that netplayers are mostly dumb players who shit on mb is moot.  Why wouldn't having AA more accessible help the scene?  Are you retarded?  Your saying it doesn't matter whether the game is accessible or not.  :slowpoke:.  It might not "revive" the scene but it would help in one way or the other so saying it won't have any effect is....retarded.

I'd love it if you can point out to me where I specifically said that netplayers are dumb players who shit on MB? Don't worry, I'll wait.

You're making it sound like MBAA being released on the PS2 ISN'T accessible when it's not a problem. You're making it sound like netplay will save this scene...when in reality it's the players who care enough to travel to the tournaments with or without netplay.  This game could have netplay, but it won't mean shit if the people who are praying for netplay won't travel to tournaments and just stay netplay warriors. Seriously, from the way you're sounding right now you want this to be like the DOA community. EVO 2k11 unnoficaly MBAA qualifiers will be online, 5 delay, KB allowed, and Final Destination.

Also again...where did I said that it didn't matter if the game wasn't accessible or not? Again, I'll wait.

My 2 cents (sorry if I disregarded a statement that was already said)

If people stay online in AC when AA comes out, so be it. If people actually try to make it out to tournaments, that's fine too. Whether or not you guys didn't noticed it, the scene will always go forward period. In my opinion, I believe that being and participating in a tournament with actual people is more beneficial and in the long run, keep this community together. I am in no way saying netplay cant do that, but it will never be as effective as a tournament.

I know for a fact I won't see half of the people I play/hear about on netplay (I hope to). But to all of you who do play netplay regularly, I just ask that you do one thing. Save up! Go support your local tournament/scene and if you don't have one, don't make it an excuse. You can save up money for any of the big tournaments that still is willing to have AA in their lineup such as NEC or Final Round. There is alot of time until NEC and Final Round so I expect some of you to take these words to heart. You won't regret an offline tournament for AA.

All in all, if people still give 2 shits about MB in general, then its all gravy.

I'm sure the Simi folk still think MBAC is still a good game. you can't blame the game if the scene died.

WT died because Arlieth stopped running tournaments. He stopped because you people have a toxic attitude to each other, and even to MB the game itself. I think he finally realized that it wasn't worth the uphill battle to make the community a better place.

I know some of you have your hearts in the right place, and I wish i had a solution, but i dont. The only thing i can do is keep the WC MBAA machine in working order, and record matches off it.
This is going to be a massive reach on my part (since you interact with Arlieth a lot more often than I do), but I think you are wrong.

From my viewpoint, Arlieth stopped running WT events for three reasons:

Also, you make it sound like the PS2 version of MB:AC did nothing for the scene. As someone who was deeply involved with the EC community when the game came out, you are flat out wrong:

EC MB has survived worse. ...EC MB started in worse.  Even with an AC level ps2 port we'll live.
ECMB fucking thrived on the PS2 version. Thrived. I miss the days of 1,000 game sessions at Sp00ky's.

You know, I'm actually not sure how it came to the point where even MB players started shitting on their own game.

A lot of it is how similar MB is to GG. GG community looks at their own game and calls it the best fighting game. 3s and Marvel communities think their game is the only good one because of the things that are unique to those games. Same for Smash community. IaMP is also really different from other fighting games, and that community likes that. With MB community, we've always got "oh yeah I'll play MBAC but GG is honestly a better game" hanging around. And the community even likes to watch other games more. There's always hype for watching GGAC, HnK, or Arcana during SBO, but usually people only want to see a few matches for Melty.

Actually I don't really get why it's different between Melty and Arcana. Maybe it's because Arcana is a loli fighter and a lot of people only play Arcana because of that, where Melty is just an anime fighting game. And of course, now you have BB, which is probably even more similar to Melty than GGAC was, coming out earlier than MBAA for console, and even more people are picking up BB that didn't play GGAC before (pretty much all the EC community).

This thread is being locked not because of the idiocy that has gone on in the last couple of posts (ok that didn't help) but due to the fact that the game has been out for a long while, now with a pending console release. With that, there are multiple valid threads of discussion to follow and this thread has gotten unwieldy to manage.

Please start new threads. Here's an example for the console port of MB:AA (http://www.meltybread.com/forums/index.php?topic=2232).
