Regarding scene building:

There is no chance at a Vegas melty scene popping up again.  This probably sounds like my ego is inflated, but I was the obvious foundation that held it all up.  Without me supporting it, everyone has moved to other games.  And really, as much as I love you guys, the game just isn't fun to me anymore. 

If UNIB gets a port and it's a fun game, I'll be in balls deep with scene building and all that shit again.  Otherwise, Vegas will just be around for other games or to chill.


Also, I dunno why anyone is tripping about EU and US not getting along.  We have plenty of EU people in chat that have always gotten along with everyone.  Let go of your outdated grudge, man.

It's a long, long thing stretching to back before bell was ever relevant. I'm talking back to like #SRM days. It's always been the same shit.

As one of the few #SRM oldfags who was around when Ehrik was fucking 14....what Bell and Psylocke said.

I already said my piece when this topic blew the fuck up on twitter so I really don't have anything more to add other than if you enjoy the game and you have people to play it with then play that shit.

Let go of your outdated grudge, man.

Its not outdated if it's still going on.

Sarcastic or not there is still a disrespectful attitude that floats around today because of this mess. It's a minority, and even though I still get shit from time to time, I personally don't give a fuck. I got banned for some dumb stuff because I was a retard a long time ago. I'm over it, so are most people.
But if you think it really didn't ever have an impact on people not wanting to be more involved with each other then you're wrong, and there were plenty of innocent bystanders in there too.

If you think Sab is a git then okay w/e, thats how it is, but you gave everyone else a crock of it too.
The entire attitude about netplayers or netplay in general was the same shit too, the self loathing phase at the end days of MBAC are fucking depressing to think about.

You guys have a good amount of people. You have to reorganize though... When admins arent motivated it taints its users, and Melty Blood is a game that deppends on the community, not the developer (accept it and promote it yourself or shut up so you don't badly influence others). Avoid negative stuff. They dont have the money to do the things you want, but does that matters? You already can play the last version of the game and you cant beat Tonberry, Lord Knight, Zar, Pfhor and other strong players. Isnt the challenge good enough? If it's not, you shouldnt be competing in any fighting game at all... You should worry more about that too..

Also I think you shouldnt compare MB with other fighting games. Melty Blood is PC game now, so it's probably a good idea to post about it in PC forums/games for PC, etc. If you dont like it, stfu so you dont demotivate others. Instead you should content with what you have and do the best you can at the time. IF a ps3 version ever comes, the scene will be much stronger if you do that way. Ah, and stop playing those other shitty games lol. It might demotivate everyone from practicing MB seriously. When I saw the names I had to agree with what Mizuki said. Playing every fucking thing is for casuals..
A little bit of console ain't too bad.

The community is obviously burnt out, except for Rokunaya, and I gotta give him props for being zealous about Melty, yet not overzealous as SOME OTHER PERSON THAT SOME OF US WE MAY KNOW THAT PLAYS A FIGHT WITH ROYALTY IN IT.

I legit have no idea who you're talking about lol

Anyways I actually have not been as zealous about this game as I used to be, I just do some things because I feel obligated to. So thanks for the props guys but I'll honestly try to have fun with this game agian this summer; I'm going to put in serious work. If it all blows up in my face I'll seriously legit move on, and that also means MB is probably straight up done. But considering the fact that I see tons of interest lurking underground that goes untapped and that I seem to be the only one willing to tap that underground scene, I'm riding my hopes on this game being able to ride out on that alone. I seriously think the underground following of MB is large enough to warrant such a belief, and if I'm wrong there's always P4U.

I only ask that people in NJ attend locals, gatherings, and if you're not in NJ, be willing to teach players. I actually know a large number of beginners wanting to play this game but get turned off by the fact that no one really tries to help them--- hell, if I didn't get Tonberry/LK as practice partners when I first started out, I'd have felt the same fucking way, so I really understand this. Promote my videos, help beginners, be willing to play new players for at least ft5 and offer basic tips. This is what can keep us going for a while, and the effects of this aren't trivial; without trying hard enough i recruited roughly 10 people into the 'Rokrew'. You all can do it too, I just ask that you try. And if you don't want to be bothered, point newbies in the direction of people who ARE willing, like myself, or my videos.

P.S.:
Distance and tournaments are seriously an issue and I'm aware of this being a victim of it myself. With such a large cast and low number of people it's hard to play often, but if you go recruiting... well, you'd be surpised what can happen when you legit try.

Don't worry about it, it doesn't involve you but those who get it will get a huge kick out of it.
what the fuck is this game

The game's dead. It doesn't deserve better, honestly.

It's uncompetitive. Sion is still Sion (better in all aspects than all other characters simultaneously and significantly) and the very very few other somewhat playable characters have the same horrible gameplay problem where they have some superior aspect that means they don't have to interact with what the opponent is/can do at all. They just do it and wait until they win the round and repeat.

There's just no human interaction in melty blood. The game engine doing odd shit like connecting normals that are facing in the wrong direction and don't have a hitbox on the character or behind doesn't help. The unexplainable full-screen normal connects that can't be fathomed with frame data don't help.
("main character hacks" since these problems are mostly associated with and favor sion)

Starting over with under night after birth is a good call. This time they don't have a special original-character-do-not-steal mary sue to be tempted to ruin their game with like Sion which is good. They need to ditch the melty blood game engine too, no doubt.

With a new rendition people pick up their favorite characters again, and that makes it great for a while-- before long we're no better off than we were in MBAC watching only sion mirrors (or rather not watching them and instead playing better games). It's the melty curse.

They've refined a lot of interesting ideas (especially with actress again) and under night after birth has that to draw from. Looking forward to it.

Playing every fucking thing is for casuals..
This is a joke, right?

Hope you're playing a character with an invincible from 1st frame DP because there's a 50/50 reset coming.

I think that's the first time since MBAC that I've heard someone complain about Sion being overpowered (aside from CC 1.0 where H-Sion was hilarity).

Also, a warning: cut the crap.

Haha oh wow, god's garden has SFxT so that will make melty and all the other games there look real good.

Hosting the biggest Melty tournament in the south this weekend. (Exception being Final Round, but for real maybe only 8 people in the tourney were from the south.) Next month travelling to NC for a small tournament there(or BBG? Still no date on this). And the month after I will be hosting a mini-major in NC which, after talking to a lot of people, should have pretty good attendance.

Admittedly been a week and a half since anyone posted here so may be beating a dead horse, but anyways.

Game's felt dead since MBAA PS2 honestly.  MBAC era was able to hold a strong community because it was able to be drudged up thanks to, honestly, a combination of dumb luck and the caster client being so well done.  Anyone anywhere could mess around at least at delay 3/4 without needing to be northeast/southwest.

At this point the west coast is pretty much all Blazblue and other more recent(and relevant, and western released) games, and with the netplay being intolerant of being more than a third of the country away that pretty much cuts 2/3 of the states and most of canada and mexico out of consistent practice.

I can't speak for the reasons why said local scenes the west coast used to have died out, since I was never really part of them to begin with, but as far as the netplay community goes it's not a matter of it dying out after MBAACC release, it's a matter of MBAA itself killing it and we're just seeing it fall apart as a delayed effect if you ask me.

There's not really anything we can do about this though, as french bread has no interest in supporting the western scenes and the best we could accomplish is someone else cobbling together a new netplay hack and us going back to how things were in '08.  It's just not possible to manage better than that without developer support though, no level of community can manage it.

I know it's kinda weird of an idea because most ppl even didn't buy this game.

The idea was of getting as much as a professional soul hacker is okay with. I know I would raise anything up to 30$, maybe more. If we get a couple of hundrets together I'm sure someone is greedy enough to jump on the train.
