: MeltyDB - A place to look for MBAACC VODs
: Pete January 19, 2013, 02:23:58 PM
Hello.
I think a lot of us have had issues with finding VODs for our favorite characters or specific matchups, I know I, myself, was very frustrated when I wanted to look up F-Kohaku videos and couldn't immediately find any because I am not one for Japanese.

So myself and some asshole named grungrah "the incredibly handsome and intelligent grungrah"
set out to create a little website that you could find those videos without having to sit through hours of other videos to find that one character you were looking for, not that watching extra melty is a bad thing. 
After a couple of weeks, we've covered the clearlamp channel and you can find the database at
 
www.meltydb.com

The database currently only holds clearlamp MBAACC 1.07 videos, we'll be working on adding videos from other sources like MeltyBread, a-cho, and kiritsugu in the future.
We hope you enjoy the database and have fun watching some Melty Blood.

shoutouts to Omicron Austin for helping us with a few videos.

Yeah sorry no one in Clearlamp likes the C-Len.
We're working on the MeltyBread VODs now so we can increase our player database before we tackle a-cho and possible niconico videos.
Once we get some of those MeltyBread VODs in you'll see a good amount of C-Len I'm sure.

Neato. We're happy that people can get a good use out of the site.
We've recently (just now) added some win rate statistics from the clearlamp matches. While the numbers aren't 100% yet, it's probably at least entertaining to read through.

If you wanted F-Kohaku videos you should be watching Waka (especially his current code/1.05 videos when he played F-Koha more).  A lot of the stuff still works and is still very applicable to v1.07.  I didn't notice any on your database, even though he is pretty much the authority on the character in Japan. 

In the next month or two I'll be making a set of tutorial videos for the character, so look forward to it~

We wanted to start with ver1.07 to see where it went. We'll probably be adding 1.05 stuff after we finish the 1.07 stuff.
I'll look forward to your tutorial videos, F-Kohaku is one of my favourite characters to play, playing her well would be a good bonus.



Also fixed WArc being missing from the character dist as well. Thanks for the feedback.

Sorry to double post or spam my own thread or whatever but we've finished adding the MeltyBread VODs to the site.

In doing so we've added some new character VODs that weren't there before like C-Len and H-Hisui and even C-NAC.

Please enjoy.

We'll be starting on the GAMEacho and the zero3japan channels next. Unfortunately GAMEacho and zero3japan are not as kind as clearlamp / meltybread and do not provide us with any help for player names so we've decided that we're only doing characters and moons for these channels. I'd like to apologize to anyone who gets a use out of that information.

Lastly, we've added some more helping hands so I'm pretty excited in general.

Aaaaah~ still no Aoko mirrors :slowpoke:
Alright I've made some changes in how the matchup-specfic searching works so it should be a little more accurate now.
Now if you search you'll find two instances of Aoko vs. Aoko.
I feel like there should be more than that so I'll take a look and see if anything else is wrong as well.
Thanks for the feedback.

Not currently. The main reason we dedicated ourselves to the DB was because we like Melty a lot. I think all of us who work on the DB are a little mixed on UNIB. Maybe once the PS3 version or PC version comes out we'll play it and pick it up bit by bit. Who knows though.

GAMEa-cho and zero3japan have been completed and added to the DB. They are live on the site now.
We hope you enjoy the NUMEROUS VODs of luckystar (solty) playing Nero and rakuchan playing H-Len, because I'm pretty sure they're half of the videos.
Maybe I'll try doing some stats for all the channels put together, depending on how messy they get I might just opt to skip that.
Either way please enjoy the VODs.

Shoutouts to Advent ClashMech and HateParade for contributing to the transcribing some of the VODs and a big thanks to grungrah who's been transcribing videos with me since day1.

Any plans for this but for UNIB later? That'd be cool.
You know what? On second thought, if you want to do something like that I'd glady back you on it. The biggest problem when doing a project like this is that you can't insert a video into some magical machine and let it tell you the times and when what happens. So I mean if you're willing to put in the time to transcribe UNIB vids from a-cho or wherever, I can create a database and get a sister site running for it. PM me if you're interested.
This offer is also open to anyone else that would like to do something similar for UNIB or a different game.

I hope people are getting use out of the DB, we're currently working on the kiritisugu0053 channel which has a lot more content than I thought initially.
If you're interested in working on a UNIB sister site, please PM me or if you want to do better just add me on steam http://steamcommunity.com/id/goddamnpete/
I want to stress that there is no pressure when working on something like this, it's mostly a leisurely hobby that you complete at your own pace.

Hey MB, we're slowly workin' on adding Kiritsugu matches to the DB.
In the meantime I've gone ahead and published a little page on global winrates throughout the 4 channels we have in the DB (clearlamp, gameacho, meltybread, and zero3japan).

The numbers right now are a little on the rough side because of a couple of factors but at least it's something to look at, plus I don't think they'll change too much once some changes are made.

Hey folks, we've hit a bit of a snag with further progress on the DB.
Youtube has identified the ECOLE logo at the beginning of the Melty boot up screen to be a SEGA logo or something meaning they've restricted our account to sub15 minute videos. I've disputed it but it seems like they're not going to respond to it any time soon. Meaning I'd have to break videos down into 15 minute blocks when uploading from Nicovideo which I think is pretty inconvenient. Just an update of what's going on. In the meantime we'll continually update the channels we have in there already.\

Thanks,
Pete.

Hey thanks man, coming from a guy who did a lot to help out the AC and AA scene it means a good deal.


People have asked me before about player lookup, while I had some spare time today I threw together something basic but it more or less works. If you're on any page that has results, like searching for VAkiha games, you can click the 1st player's name or the 2nd player's name to see all the matches by that player.

You can also use the player lookup form if you use Japanese names, I'm working on adding English name functionality but it's tricky. The other thing we need to tackle is consolidating player names, some players have 2+ aliases in the DB, fun stuff.
Thanks for using the site guys, hope you find use in this addition.

For anyone that doesn't know, all of the nicovideo matches from when MeltyBread stopped 'till now have been uploaded to the KWM youtube channel and added to the database. We now have over 10,000 matches in meltyDB.

So looks like we have almost all of the JP 1.07 matches in there, I'll try to keep everything as up to date as I can. In the meantime there will be some smaller stuff coming up. Something like win rates, searching by win/lose, recommendation system, and character pages way in the future? Would probably be good to redesign the site a bit too.

As some of you may have noticed, updates on the site have slowed to a crawl. I'm just really busy working 8-13 hour days and there's tons of stuff that I've started to implement and haven't completed. I'll try to update the site with more matches in the coming weeks but no promises. I'll keep our youtube channel as up to date as I can so when the time finally comes, all that needs to be done is some cataloging. Once school starts back up I'll have more time to dedicate to the site.
Thanks to everyone in the community for continually letting us know they like the site.

Just a quick update, I'm able to dedicate more time to the DB again. The korewamelty youtube channel is caught up more or less to nicovideo and I've begun transcribing things like mad again.
Should be soon when we see an influx of new matches coming in.

thanks for pointing out the date mixups, that's been fixed. and strangely enough the result cut-off thing seems to only be happening with F-Akiha and GAME-acho results. very strange.

Yo, how's it goin?
So MeltyDB has come to a point where I feel like a lot of necessities have been taken care of, thus I figured why not poll around for what to work on next. I have many ideas but I'm always open to more.
Here's what's on my list:
I've been approached a couple times about expanding MeltyDB to include other games, this is something I've considered as well but it would have to be a game I really enjoyed. As I've stated before, if someone else wanted to create a DB for another game and is willing to do most of the transcribing, I'm more than willing to support them on the web side.

I'm currently scheduling myself to work on the first two and the rest are just ideas I've had in my head for a while. Let me know if any of these appeal to you or maybe if you have your own suggestions, please feel free to post em here or lemme know any other way.

Hmm. If possible I'd like to see rating 1-5 stars. It's not like it's hard to find good matches; japanese matches are usually good, but rating would make it easier to find the best matches right away when you want to try a new character.

I'd also like to see more names in higher winrate statistics. Maybe top100? Sometimes you want to know who are best players of character X so you can watch his matches closely. Melty Blood has 90+ options, so a big number would be necessary I guess. Another option would be higher player winrates by characters (I actually think that's more interesting =x).

Once pagination is up and running I'll enabling full results for every category. Eventually I want to have it being one table that you can sort however you want.

The recommendation system would work something like the 1-5 stars maybe and would tie directly into player pages. On player pages you would seen what their stats are (win rate by character+moon), what region they usually play in, known aliases (with the ability to add more aliases), recommended games, and i think i'd even throw in a link to their twitter if i knew it. something like that.

Cool to see interest for some of the features, I'll start work on those after the weekend probably. Canadian Thanksgiving and all

Pete, do you plan to do YT mirrors of the Before Red-White (not Red-White lol) series that took place in 2012-2013?

http://www.nicovideo.jp/search/Before%E7%B4%85%E7%99%BD?track=nicouni_search_keyword

I think you got some of the later ones, but not all of them. Only check I did was searching up Evu H-Nero vs Sekitsuka H-Nanaya on MeltyDB and got nothing.

The Korean Melty channel webgori has some mirrors recently up of the vids as well (although not all of them?).

I will definitely upload those, I wonder why they were missed when I picked up where MeltyBread left off.
Other than that, I think I'll add the webgori/jay jo stuff to the database maybe. I know they have some cool offline content.

Thanks for the heads up.
Actually looks like webgori beat me to it haha.

Here's somethings I would like to see in MeltyDB:

* A page only for Recently Added. See people could always check what's new in the very DB.
* Rating for videos. So people could rate and search for the best rated videos. There are tons os vids to see, I think rating would work as some kind of filter, which would give people more time.

Please vote in this poll about netplay matches: http://strawpoll.me/1572321

Other than that transcribing has started again and I'm expecting for the first update for new matches to be early May. New features will be coming after that. New features may show up inexplicably or randomly within any time period between now and the near future.
