Akiha Vermillion / Re: Advanced Akiha V. Combos/Tactics Discussion

Slightly stupid question: is it just me, or does V.Akiha have a slight delay when using her j.236A (and possibly B and non-EX C), compared to normal Akiha? I've been trying to come up with some combos for her that involve this move, but they seem to be too delayed for the link to actually happen. ;_;

Shiki Nanaya / Re: Im recruting a Nanaya Sensei!!

Well, this might not be of much help, but at least it's been dead useful for me.

With Nanaya (in fact, with most of the characters, with very few exceptions) you can link a combo that always keeps you in the offensive. You just have to sweep your opponent (2C), and immediately after hit them with 5C; that juggles them high enough for you to jump and keep pummeling them with whatever you can think of in mid air, or to use 236B (or C, if you can afford it). This, at least for me, is usually enough to keep me on the offensive, maintain the pressure and not give the opposition a moment's rest, which is one of the most important factors to win in Melty Blood.

Hope that's of any use.

You can also use another way out and install a Virtual Machine application, such as VMWare, and install Windows and MBAC in a virtual machine.

Even though VM's pretty slow. I'd just install it using the methods said here.

Depends on your hardware capabilities. I have a dual core Centrino Duo running at 1.66GHz with 2GB DDR RAM on a 5400rpm hard drive and an 128MB DDR ATI Mobility Radeon, so setting up the virtual machine to have a maximum memory of 512 in a 7GB virtual hard drive makes the strain on the VM entirely unnoticeable.

Melty Blood Auditorium / Has anybody succeeded in analyzing the replay files?

« on: October 27, 2007, 01:16:59 PM »

Hello there again, on-and-off visitor DZ here again. I was wondering one thing.

Has anybody in the community managed to decipher the headers for the replay data files? I've been trying to write a replay organizer program using some ideas I got off of other programs I've written, but haven't had any luck working those out. Given that my experience with reverse engineering is minimal, I could give it a try, but it's unlikely that I'd be able to figure out anything.

If nobody's been able to do this, then no matter. If, on the contrary, someone's already managed to understand said headers, how can I get in touch with them to request that information? I want to contribute to the community, but being a mediocre-to-decent player, there's little beside my knowledge of C# Windows programming that I can put to use to contribute. ;_;

Melty Blood Auditorium / Are the patches cumulative? If not, are there any mirrors of them?

« on: October 16, 2007, 02:03:33 PM »

Umm, hi there, I'm pretty much new here. I've been enjoying MBAC for a while now, and the Netplay client has brought so much fun to my life, my studies are falling behind, as much as I try for them not to. But that's not the point.

Y'see, I have a friend that recently got the game, but since the MBCaster only works with ver.B 1.03a, his installed copy won't work. So I was wondering, are the other patches cumulative, as in that if he just installs the 1.03a patch all the modifications from the others are also installed? If not so, are there any mirrors for any previous patches? I know there was a 1.02 patch before this one, but dunno if there were any others prior to that.

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the bother.
