Is there any Melty Blood (ReAct / Cadenza) fans?

[Ponzu]

I haven't read the manga but I loved the anime "Tsukihime" and when I found out that characters in Melty Blood are the same, I instantly became adicted. I like it because in Melty Blood ReACT the fighting system slightly resembles Guilty Gear. And my favorite chacters are Hisui and Kohaku. Is there any other Melty Blood fan out there?

[Para]

I would play melty Blood ReACT if i had it heh....
So far i can only play melty blood

and i like sion eltnam atlasia :P

Can you torrent Melty blood react? I think i only have melty blood.

[tenken]

ReAct is awesome cuz i think Guilty Gear is the best fighting game ever (now only if they make an anime series for it :D (it's not impossible! they have made animations for it already!)) i love to use that tall blonde guy that goes insane!!! KATTO KATTO KATTO!!!! (CUT! CUT! CUT!) he's frick'en awesome!!

i cant seem to dl off bt which is a bad for me >_<

[TS4forum]

. . . I own the game, but every time I start the game it says, "Please insert disc in the CD drive" :P So I've never actually been able to play it. . .
is it "Please insert disc in the CD drive" or "Melty Blood hasn't been installed"?
well, if it was the latter, then try the following:

1. install ReACT
2. delete the file "_Path.dat" in the installed folder
3. place all the files from original Melty Blood

i've met quite a few ppl with the problem above...
hope it helps someone :rolleyes:

edit: also, don't forget to apply the latest patch (http://www2s.biglobe.ne.jp/~k_wata/mbr0916.exe)

[tidusextreme]

I could torrent react if you like ^^

[HongFire]

yeah if someone torrent react on new tracker will be nice. I wanted to stop using old tracker and move to new one asap. old tracker is using too much cpu resource.

[Para]

[Para]

I just found out something quite interesting...
You guys know mech hisui from melty blood?

[tenken]

i don't remember if she was playable or not but she was pretty good :)

even though i thought the originals were better (but the mech one was funnier :D )

[tenken]

momochan, which melty blood was the clip from (i saw a lot of moves i have never seen before and it looked awesome :D )

[Para]

apparently mech hisui stuff appears in phantasy star online which i had no idea o_O

[PrinceVern]

Re-ACT is especially fun ^_^ Lurv the new added characters, Satsuki is my new favorite character in the game, right below or next to Kohaku~ ^^ Wish I could play with Big Akiha, or at least see her x3 Too bad I always get the crashy crash...

[tidusextreme]

that moves are from melty blood react ^^

mech hisui, I don't know if she appera in other game, but she was created as a giant super mecha parody ^^

the crash... gosh, I think it's the most close we'll get in playing with her

byeyi!

;)

[Para]

its possible to play as mech hisui btw...
and i believe some of mech hisui's weapons are in pso bb

[PrinceVern]

Wow, that's all the more reason for me to get back into my PSO MMORPG phase, since nothing else is out that has caught my attention...

[Para]

check out the pso bb thread lol free 15 day trial to test out the game :)

[Redsuns]

I also have both of them(MB and MB RE.ACT) but I don't play it that much anymore so I decide to burn it for future reference.

Does anyone know a good Japanese CG fan site for Melty Blood or Tsukihime?

[tzuendaniel]

Umm...just asking, what's "CG"? I might know one, but have no idea what "CG" means.
I'm best using Hisui or Ciel for Melty Blood ReAct, and Nero and Ciel in the original Melty Blood.

[arcrenciel]

I'm also fan of Melty Blood Re Act I'm use either warucueid or ciel

For CG I think you can find some link in this site. The Moonlit World (http://www.geocities.com/max3075/top.htm)

Umm...just curious, does anyone have nice combo replay files? They're pretty small (40 sec. is about 6 KB), and allow you to record your combos and replay them at perfect quality. :cool: I've searched for them, but there are no good ones online.

[Maria Renard]

would you guys like if we upload some replay files? I have some really good battles here, and if you like we can share them :) ...

[Para]

Ooh...I'd like that, but then it's probably have to have a new thread in another part of the forum. :D
And is that CM Serika from QOH '99 SE?!?

[Maria Renard]

yeap, it

[tzuendaniel]

Hmm...sounds like an attractive idea, but are there that many games with replays? But one for saved states and games, which includes replays, would be too cheat-like...but that's the only place to put it, I suppose...

What do you think, Para? Or anyone else (sorry, I don't know all of the mods and vips and others by name)?

Oh, and by the way, I'm the one who requested the replay files. :)

[Maria Renard]

from what I know, at least in melty blood, party

[Zaido]

having a replay and comment section would be very interesting, and also i think that would also get people excited about the game as well to test out the combo cause i know i will :p

[DivesT]

how do u proform a last arc move, been trying all day.

[linalys]

You need to shield an attack while in blood heat mode. Usually you simply shield standing but there are some exceptions.
Arc, MHisui, Ciel, and Ren need to air shield.
Sion needs to be crouching and Wara can do stand or crouch shield.

[srea]

To do last arc, first you need to be in blood heat mode (activate after you heat). Then try to block opponent's attack. If it success you'll use last arc. (There are some exception for some charecter to do in the air, ground, crouch)

Like Akiha's last arc:
http://imageuploading.com/041104/1099566564.jpg

[Para]

strange i thought u can only be in blood heat when you are close to death?

(just got react yesterday)

[Maria Renard]

strange i thought u can only be in blood heat when you are close to death?

(just got react yesterday)

it

[Para]

Question how do you do a last arc? Im confused by it... block an opponent attack by moving back or using the shield button? and sion has to crouch to use last arc?

[Maria Renard]

you must charge your magic bar to full, go into blood heat, and then you must counter an attack with the shield button...

for sion, I think you must counter in crouch position ;) ...

[Zaido]

So basically to perform last arc i just block it with that shield thign and it do it by itself?

For Sion the crouch one is it for Vampire Sion as well?

[Maria Renard]

yes, last arc will be executed by itself ;) ...

and just sion must do it crouching, vampire sion will do it normally...

[linalys]

Again to perform a last arc you need to do two things. First you must be in Blood Heat mode. You enter BH by building circuit to 300% then doing ddd+shield button. Then you shield any attack from the enemy and last arc will go off automatically. Be careful not to repeatedly push shield as you can cancel last arc into another shield. Press shield only once. As I said in my first post above, most people do their last arc standing. Some do it in the air and some crouch. Read the above post for the info.

[Crys]

I don't like either Sion's Last Arcs....especially normal Sion's, 'cause it can be blocked and avoided, and leaves her open for attack. I prefer Shiki and Ren's, because they can combo into their Arc Drives directly after the Last Arcs and cause loads of damage.

vampire sion last arc looks cool :) ...

and, about blocking last arcs, a lot of them can be avoided/blocked, for example, shiki tohno

[Zaido]

Just wondering (this might be a stupid queston but) where can i upgrade the version of the game? cause mine is version 2.000 and i am not sure if there is another upgraded version of that cause i saw this vid of Vampire Sion doing an air through and it throws them to the ground but when i do it some how i can do sort of a semi infinite trhough in the air which i can do a full life hit combo, dont know if it is a glitch or something :confused:

here is the most recent update patch (http://www2s.biglobe.ne.jp/~k_wata/mbr1005.exe)

enjoy... :) ...

[sibladeko]

Feh if you notice how Yukinose plays with the maids he drops out Johnny, does that super that gives you instant blood heat, then walks up and jams shield XD.

So cheap.

[Ponzu]

Cheap, but affective... I still have trouble trying to do the super that gives Kohaku instant blood heat. How is it done again? And can someone explain it by not using the number key. Use words like up, down, left, right, down-left, down-right... Thanks.

[Zaido]

thx for the update file Maria Renard

Just wondering is there a site for these files?

[Maria Renard]

Ponzu, that move aparently is called "Crackbaby Kohaku", and the sequence is:

downback, forward, downforward, down, downback, downforward, down + C button

only in heat and blood heat mode :) ...

hope that helps ;) ...

EDIT.- Zaido, the folder of that webpage where the patch is is the official watanabe official melty blood react site, the newest patches and info about this wonderful game will appear there :)

[tzuendaniel]

I didn't even know about Arcs or Last Arcs, because they weren't the original Melty Blood. I only noticed when I was Akiha and shielded, then downforward+D. She did her cool fire thing, and I started to experiment with all of the characters.

The character that I like to use Last Arcs with is Shiki Nanaya, because I like to dash into the path of the projectile just to pull off my Last Arc (seems suicidal, especially when fighting against Aoko Aozaki, but can be pulled off even on her many projectiles if you time right :cool: ).

[Zaido]

o wow that sequence seems pretty confusing O_o i wonder if i can pull it off on my keyboard haha

[srea]

I think Arcueid last arc's cool. They call White princess(Or maybe) and screen turn dark. Cool!

Blocking other attack to use last arc by pressing d button ( full stop "." ) when in blood heat mode.

[Ponzu]

Ponzu, that move aparently is called "Crackbaby Kohaku", and the sequence is:
downback, forward, downforward, down, downback, downforward, down + C button

Thanks, now all I have to do is master it.

[Crys]

no doubt, Arcueid & Shiki T., definitly the best! :)

I quit using Arc regularly after I switched to ReAct. Then I started using Ciel.

Ciel is so cheap with her 7-9 hit OTG combo launcher + 6 hit air combo + flip kick (B) + EX flip kick. Then if your opponent breakfalls, EX Hiero. Splendid.

I'm more of a Nanaya fan than a Shiki fan, though. Shiki is faster, has better ground combo ability, and can do the nifty Last Arc--->Arc Drive combo, but I prefer Nanaya because he has better specials. I love those dash attacks!
Arc can't dash anymore, so I have to get my fix from somewhere....

Anybody play Hisui here?

[Mysterio006]

Actually, to make Kohaku take her shot (:)) all you need is 100% in your meter.

I am more a Kohaku fan that a Hisui fan, but I'm starting to get used to her. It's amazing the kinds of damage you can do with Hisui.

[Ponzu]

I'm the opposite, I'm the big Hisui fan than a Kohaku fan.

[srea]

I think Kohaku's stronger than Hisui, cause' she's her older sister.(~ ~? No!) she has broom sword and swing large distance.

[Crys]

I like Hisui's charged Air C attack. (Kohaku's looks cool, but has pathetic range). Also, Hisui has an undocmuented autoguard during her EX Random-Stuff fu attack. If someone tries to hit during the EX flash, the game bugs and the attacker misses Hisui (and gets slapped in the face with Tohno clutter, to boot!) I can finish a fight with Hisui faster than Kohaku, simply because her combos are more damaging. She's like Dan from SF Slpha (There I go again, saying the "Alpha" word). She appears useless at first, but play enough with her, and you can beat the best Miyako players with ease.

Kohaku's just too easy for me to use. Just jump toward the opponent, and right beofre you hit the ground, perform Kohaku's missile attack. All of the missiles will be packed closer together for MAJOR damage. Too easy. :(

[srea]

Really?? If she's good as you say, may be I'll try out Hisui more.

[Crys]

...which isn't to say I don't like Kohaku. I've gone through phases where I have a different favorite. When I first started (Melty Blood), I played Sion, then played Arc, then Ciel, then Arc again, then Kohaku, then Arc, then I switched to ReAct, and found out that all I needed was included in Nanaya, Ciel, and Hisui. Kohaku's fast and has decent range, but some of her specials are ineffective against CPU-controlled characters. I prefer Hisui becaues she can cause more damage in a shorter amount of time. ladle-fu launcher + charged air C or air throw = big, easy damage. It's also easier to launch characters with Hisui than Kohaku. Hisui's Blood Heat Arc Drive is only a little bit more effective than Kohaku's, though. Kohaku's Arc Drive can be avoided very easily, leaving you opponent to stand behind you and laugh while Kohaku plunges headfirst into the wall. Hisui's can be blocked, but drives them back to the other side of the screen. Hisui's special moves are for use in setting up for combos and catching people off-guard while Kohaku's moves are for quick and speedy combat, it seems.

The only thing I don't like about Hisui is that she's slow to move and can get cornered very easily, but that's not a problem for me because I spend a lot of time attacking. I don't hit-and-run unless I'm playing a character that specializes in hit-and-run.

Hisui was the character designer's favorite for a reason. She's so cute!

[Ponzu]

I agree, it's much more easier to do launch combos with Hisui. And if Kohaku's sword move is blocked she's wide open. When I use Hisui I some times use the Featherduster-Fu then use the exploding lunch under them.

I love it when Hisui says her blood heat move, so cute. "Ankokusuhiryu Gohoushi Suishoha!" or "Saturday Night Fever!".

[linalys]

It's not as good as the first one but maybe you'll like it anyway. Probably more for the Miyako and Arc users than anyone else.

http://www.combovideos.com/page.php?id=184

[Mysterio006]

I like Kohaku's charged air C, mostly because it has good downward range. If someone tried to strike you from below while you're jumping, her broom has a higher chance of making contact first. Really depends on who you're fighting. Kohaku's sword swings are best used in combination with basic attacks, not combo starters. If you can hit the opponent with just a basic A, sword swings are definitely comboable, and a double swing will really add up the damage. Plus, I really like Kohaku's air range, she can go pretty far riding her broom.

Funny thing is, I find launching the enemy into the air a lot easier with Kohaku than with Hisui. Down C, C, and he's in the air. I still have to work on following through though, as usually I can only add up an additional two-three hits in the air. I don't quite operate as smoothly with Hisui yet, as I find her a tad slower, but I guess with practice it'll get better.

In comparition with their Blood Heat Arc Drives, I find Hisui's a bit better, since you can combo into it, but both can be dodged by jumping over it easily if you give the enemy a chance. However, Kohaku's move can't be blocked, so it gets some points for that.

Thinking about all this makes me want to play some more... by the way, if you play the pair together, you ever notice that if you ever pull off the Blood Heat twin attack move with Kohaku, sometimes Hisui just.... jumps off the screen and disappears? I think it happens with characters with higher falling speeds. Kinda sucks, since you lose Hisui for the rest of the match :p

[Ponzu]

... by the way, if you play the pair together, you ever notice that if you ever pull off the Blood Heat twin attack move with Kohaku, sometimes Hisui just.... jumps off the screen and disappears? ...
Yeah, it happened to me once or twice during battle. I tried to switch off, but then the character froze. I tried to switch off again but nothing happens. That happened to me because I was too close to the wall and the first time that happened, it just freaked me out.

[Ponzu]

Sorry, going a little off topic...

Lol im looking for good cgs of Tsukihime characters as well Ponzu...
Its hard to find some of Sion Eltnam Atlasia :p
I found four really nice Tsukihime sites:

http://www.mag3.info/bana.gif (http://www.mag3.info/pink/index.htm) http://n-house.or.tv/nukkunukuhouse/parts/baner1%5B1%5D.gif (http://www.nukkunukuhouse.com/) http://white.sakura.ne.jp/~piece/link/mybana/ba.gif (http://white.sakura.ne.jp/~piece/main.html) http://mo.sakura.ne.jp/~gash/gazo/bana.jpg (http://mo.sakura.ne.jp/~gash/)
The gallery for the last one is the last link that reads "日絵倉庫"

[Para]

I find Kohaku easier to control than Hisui but then it depends on your fighting style.

Personally Im trying to master Sion <3 and adapt to her fighting style. Usually my style is ground melee but Sion is like ranged to anti air counter and combo... hopefully mastering her will broaden my abilities with Sion <3

And thanks Ponzu ill take a look
edit:hmm theres not alot of tsukihime in those sites really so far only one sion pic

[tenken]

i definitely like hisui better than kohaku but i think mech hisui is more cheap than hisui or kohaku

i just can't stop using the arc for akiha/evil akiha, it's like holy crap! that's a lot of damage and hits!

other than that i think the air super for white len does the most damage

[Ponzu]

Set difficult level to easy.And damage to minimum.
All of them can beat her(I've already try) always win at 5-10 minutes. Don't go in the corner and try to defend(using back button 4,6) and when you get to heat mode ; enter blood heat and you'll fully recovery your life.

[Crys]

Have you ever seen Japanese tourney vids? Japanese players cheese EVERYTHING. Nothing is sacred. If that's what it takes to beat G-Akiha, then by all means, go for it. I think, though, that the whole point of the fight is to cheese as quickly as possible and hope to come out alive....after all, does G-Akiha fight fair? Not really.

What are your strategies for beating Neko-Arc (They say Neco-Arc. Oops!)?
I have yet to win with Satsuki, but have won with Miyako, Hisui, and Kohaku.

[srea]

Necro-Arc...
(My difficult level set to medium)I'm Using down attack continuously (2+a,b,c). It's pretty hard to attack with combo( I think ) Necro-arc's too small some combo can't use with her/it .

[linalys]

Set difficult level to easy.And damage to minimum.
All of them can beat her(I've already try) always win at 5-10 minutes.

Settings don't matter, try it. Damage at level 5 is exactly the same at level 1. GAkiha mode ignores difficulty/damage settings, that's why Japanese players were having speed runs with her for a while. Then came defense ratings and life based defense scaling and I think it died out...

[Maria Renard]

for neco-arc, just counter attack with combos when she rushes in, or give her some launching attacks :) ...

g akiha, just play with good combos, is not a difficult opponent...

[Para]

Haha if you are really pissed at G. Akiha, use Aoko and for sure you'll win. Of course this is only available if you unlocked the bosses. Fighting G. Akiha with G. Akiha is funny too.

As for Sion what combos have you guys came up with? Like launch and air combo?

[Maria Renard]

I used to do a lp, mp coming down from air, then lp, lp, mp, df+hp, and:

lp, lp hp, mp, lp, and grab

or:

lp, mp, hp, lp, mp, and qcb+hp

that

[Para]

err *unsure of your terms lp mp hp stuff*

Could you give like 5C or like C or like 421B or 26B or 273A ?

[Ponzu]

Haha if you are really pissed at G. Akiha, use Aoko and for sure you'll win. Of course this is only available if you unlocked the bosses. Fighting G. Akiha with G. Akiha is funny too.
Sorry if this is a stupid question but how do you unlock boss characters?

[Maria Renard]

sure, sorry for that... :p ...

quoting myself...


I used to do a A, B coming down from air, then A, A, B, 3+C, and:

A, A,C, B, A, and grab

or:

A, B, C, A, B, and 63214+C

hope that helps and not editing the last post is ok with you ;)

ponzu, you need a unlocker patch, like this one (http://onionimu.hp.infoseek.co.jp/usr/redcat/101/dat101/mbr2008up_11.lzh), but you need to be running the mb1005 version, I think it

[Para]

hmm i just have problems continuing my air combos... usually i get them up to 6 up in air and theni need to break back down and rejuggle them for another air combo

and its fine if you just post again in this case because it isn't consecutive posting or duping post :P

As for the boss unlock... i thought the link was here...

You need the latest patch for it though...
hmm...

a dummy can attack if you change in the practice menu the options, manual means you can move the dummy with the other controller, there

the option in question is CPU Action, which does have more options than just cpu and manual btw. stand, jump, crouch, all guard, jump guard, cpu , and manual (which allows player 2 to play in training mode)

Sion pics are really hard to come by these days and there isn't enough of them around >_>

That's an interesting combo with the launcher... I need to work on that and try it out... but the thing is that the combo is fairly easy to counter in the beginning... its rather vulnerable to anti air attacks.

Your combos don't suck. There actualy really awsome. I like the Ciel combo and both the Kohaku combos were done so smoothly. All my combos are usually done by accident.
One question, do you play with a joy stick or keyboard?

Haha, I like your compliments, but I really can't execute the whole combo during combat, I tend to screw up. Especially with the second Kohaku replay, that one took like 10 tries to do :p

I use both the keyboard and a joypad (PS controller) but I'm much more comfortable using a keyboard right now, since I have been using it for 4 months or so. But man, the joypad makes somethings easier (and harder), so I'm training with it.

*edit* Actually I'm a but curious... Are you guys also using a controller? I just can't get the hang of it right now... Commands using 623 and 421 are kinda difficult for me right now, plus my controller is extremely sensitive to jumping... but at least 41236 is much easier :)

[srea]

Looks like you can control Kohaku very well , Mysterio006

[Crys]

I've been using my Gravis USB Gamepad Pro, but it crapped out, so I'm out a controller for now. Something about ntxpusb.sys messing up. Can't find it on the internet, so.....

But you're having trouble with 623 on a joystick?

Practice, practice!

Once I get my controller working (or get a new one completely, I'll upload my Ciel combo runs, and maybe my Hisui tutorial)

You said that your controller is sensitive to jumping? Are you sure you're not accidentally hitting up/right or up/left when inputting qcf (Quarter-circle forward) commands?

[srea]

Yes, that's right.
It's difficult to press like 41236 236 214 623 ....
Practice......

[Maria Renard]

ok, I add two new mini combos, arcueid and V. sion if I remember well... I

[Mysterio006]

The thing about my controller is, if my direction pad touches up (or up-left or up-right) the slightest bit, it registers as a jump. So I have to stay somewhat low, which is a bit weird... well, maybe I'll get used to it. It'll take weeks :p

Oh, and Maria Renard, you got some damn impressive combos. I really wouldn't want to face you ever... Wouldn't it be cool if we could network though?

Replay Arc & ciel ,

[Crys]

I've only been playing since mid-2002, I think, but I stopped playing for awhile after I got Guilty Gear X, Grandia II, and Serious Sam: The Second Encounter (which I love DEARLY) for PC.

I could NEVER use the PS1 pad. I need an eight-direction D-Pad, like on a Saitek or Gravis controller. I never did like the staggered four-button D-pad layout Sony so stubbornly stuck with all these years. Although the Gravis Gamepad Pro is cheap, it works VERY well, and has a very nice full-sized 8-direction D-Pad layout that makes pulling off advanced maneuvers quite easy.

I prefer the controller, though, to my X-Arcade. I want full control over my characters, so I need them to be right under my thumb rather than on an arcade-style joystick. X-Arcade was meant for fighting games, but I end up playing all my fighting games (King of Fighters, Last Blade, Garou, Rage of the Dragons, Matrimelee, Guilty Gear) with a controller rather than an arcade stick. Go figure.

Not bad, I liked the first part of your replay, but the other parts... is just repeating the same thing over and over :p

After listening to your suggestions I tried out a PS1 controller, and it does seems somewhat better than the other one I had. Thanks for your advice!

I've played it for three months or so. Before I got the full version I was playing the demo, and I got totally addicted to it. It would be six long months before I finally stumbled upon Hongfire... and ascended to heaven :)

Hmm, the other part's joking don't mind it.

Out of the bundle I like the Satsuki one the most. In a stupidly funny sort of way.

[Mysterio006]

God damn, I just realized it, linalys - you're the guy who made all those amazing combo videos... you're like a god of Melty Blood, what with your combo KOs and just utterly awesome stuff. *Bows in sudden reverence*

Well anyways, I got a few little combos here (I feel a little shadowed though :o ), one with Kohaku and two others with Hisui.

[srea]

Hmm Well, how do you know combo or move that you use?
I just know by pressing button randomly ....

[Ponzu]

Hmm Well, how do you know combo or move that you use?

Same here. I usually start the combo and after I launch the enemy I randomly press buttons to get more hits.

In speaking of random, I found a pic of Sion if anyone wants it. It's pretty small though... and the second pic is just the ending CG for Sion, I bet everyone has this already though...

[Mysterio006]

Hm, well here's how I do it...

I tend to try to get the most C attacks possible... usually they start my attacks. Oftentimes C in the air strikes downwards, while A and sometimes B pushes the enemy up slightly, so a combination of those keeps the enemy in the air longer. The longer the combo the less you do, so powerful attacks should start the combo and weaker attacks should be used to keep your combo going. Just be sure the enemy doesn't fly outta reach from too many attacks :D

That's what I do anyways. Dunno if its the best strategy out there, but I do that.

[Zaido]

i am not sure but i dont' really try to hit for the most hits, i usually just do a 6 hit combo which i think hurts the most other then a 7 hit or 8 hit if i added a B attack. But i usually do 5 hits like launch them Jump B C Jump B C then end with throw.

[srea]

Some move I copy from Com. I'm usually pressing A B and C button and move foward+jump.

The combo will get more exciting if you get more hit...

[linalys]

I'm just being nice. I don't really have a reason to suck up, since I already got some rep points from you a while back. I don't know about the other people though...

For combos I usually watch all combo vids and try them out myself. Most of the time I can't do it though... but I usually learn alot of techniques on how to start the combo instead.

[Crys]

As for the sion pics... are people trying to suck up to me for rep points? :P

Heh...you WISH! :D Nanaya forever!

Anyway, for air combos, I like to have someone that can cancel out of an air combo with a Ground Drop (Nanaya), where I can attempt to add more damage onto the air combo, or use an EX anti-air attack as they fall to meet me. Most air combos, though, follow a Guilty Gear-like pattern, where you can combo from weak to progressively stronger attacks, being able to double back to a weaker attack only when you are using the second-weakest attack. Often times, if you use B, A, B, you can't combo into a C, and sometimes, if you use too many A attacks mid-air (strictly for a higher combo count, of course), you won't able to connect more than one B attack before losing air. That's why I like having an anti-air attack usable in mid-air, like Nanaya's anti-air kick (sometimes), or Ciel's Hiero. Miyako's double kick isn't too shabby, either, aside from the fact that the wallslam inherent in the EX version makes breakfalling easier for the opponent, because it bounces them up temporarily, allowing for a high breakfall, and possibly an air dash to safety.

btw can you combo sion's air c kick attack with 24 leg grab attack?

[Crys]

btw can you combo sion's air c kick attack with 24 leg grab attack?

Yes, but only if you use your air C early in the combo (preferably ALONE), only on large characters like Warakia and Nero Chaos, and only if you launch into the air and delay your air C for a split second. You don't want to be under him, pushing him up into the air with your air C, but rather, hit him with it when his ascent is slowing and Sion has enough height to successfully combo and connect with the downward-aiming leg grab. You can combo it, but it's practically useless in terms of sheer combo power. You can't delay your air C for smaller characters like Arc and Akiha, because if you do, they will fall before the air C connects.

Maybe I should post a replay to help explain this....

[Zaido]

i kind of get ur explanation... *Picturing it in my head :rolleyes: *

i am testing if i can connect that with a 2 2 B or a 2 2 C with the 2 4 C and see if it does moderate damage =P

too bad it doesn't connect after an ending air throw ><

I am trying this for Vamp Sion btw...

hmm.. its true that it isn't smart to combo two air C together since the enemy gets juggled too high that sion can't reach him/her. Im practising now to use C and then jump again and attack with a's and b's. when do you usually hit the jump button to connect for combo? When you hit the opponent then hit the jump button or before it?

[Crys]

Umm..... :confused: When you talk about jumping, do you mean after the initial launch, or as a double jump? Because you probably can't continue a combo if you have to double jump to catch up to them, and then if the opponent breakfalls, your combo is ruined.

Assuming that you use a charged air C to launch them further, a double jump would be out of the question, because a charged air C is so slow that by the time the attack is executed, you'll already be losing air and will be heading downward as you propel the enemy into the air, unless you use a charged C immediately after a launch jump, which seems like an odd way to start an air combo.

I loved your Hisui combo and the Sion combo that took you a minute to do. In the Hisui combo, how do you go from jump C B then 2B on the ground? I can't time it right. I accidentally do the second part of the B air attack.

Well all I can say is wait a little longer before pressing 2B. Jump B's (except for Ciel's) stun pretty well so don't worry too much about comboing the 2B. If it helps do 2A first until you get the timing down then you can try doing 2B.

[Zaido]

Um just wondering which Sion are u guys refering too =P

and when u do 2 C attacks it does juggle them pretty high but ur air dash forward some what makes Sion go just a little bit higher kind of like a 3rd jump which u can probably execute an air throw. THis would would work if the 2 C jump kicks are put together pretty fast a finish air throw would throw them back down.

Now for A sion air combo now it depends if u want damage or style.
i just put some combos that i prefer to start off with for Sion, THis might work for both Sions so eh...

STyle: jump at them C, c.A, c.A, c.B, Launch B, Jump A, B, C, d.Jump B, C, air Dash Air throw.
(now if ur using vamp sion i would add the c.C the sweep and do the launcher after words since it makes it easier to launch)
Damage: can start off with c.B, Launch B, Jump B, C, d.Jump B, C, air dash air throw
(for some reason if using Sion Vamp just the c.B and launch some how does more damage then adding the extra sweep)
or u can start off in the air and time a CHarge C and when it hits it launches them in the air and by doing so u can land and jump after them and do an air combo which does pretty good damge as well.

Those are some stuff i know from what i practice and saw from vids
hope that gave some info about the Sions

[srea]

For Sion, I like her 41236 move (when in b heat mode) I wonder if she can fire the anymore for more time...
Or reload ammo faster , hmmm...

[Para]

You actually were able to link two air cs together and still throw right after? Replay please? I can't seem to do it...

unless you use a charged C immediately after a launch jump, which seems like an odd way to start an air combo.

linalys used that to start his combo lol.

I only double jump after my first air c. However I seem to have trouble connectingit with a few a and bs...

You need to have the same version of game and replay to play it properly (for most situation). That why some person choose to record replay as video file.

[linalys]

Lots of times between versions the slightest things get tweaked. In some cases things get majorly tweaked. So generally for a replay to be played right it has to be the same version. But also even if it's the same version sometimes input is replayed incorrectly. Biggest example is something random like Ren's cats. The only thing you can do in this case is to keep playing the replay till you see the "right" version.

[Mysterio006]

Speaking of versions, anyone have a clue what is changed in the latest version 2.009?

Honestly, two things they need to add: better character models and an online option. That's make Melty Blood something really worth playing.

making the game online would be great, but i wonder will lag and everything else kick into the game as well, but still it would make the game more enjoyable since i have no one to play against here ><

2.009a i tried it, it doesn't seem like any changes was actually done, or not that i know of, maybe they nerfed some characters? or did they make the cpu harder? cuase i don't see any changes with it at the moment

[Mysterio006]

One thing I notice, the AI seems to have changed a bit. Ciel doesn't do that annoying combo using 2C 2C and so forth (a definite plus). I also noticed Warakia doing a mulitple tornado strike instead of a rolling tornado once (236 D), but I have no idea how. Well, guess I'll test it some more and see what else is changed.

[srea]

The change that I found,
For Kohaku looks like 22+B 22+A (A plant) attack faster
And Arc when using 41236 in b heat mode no longer freeze opponent when it guard.

[Zaido]

for now it seems like they fixed some of the freeze glitches, the replay files still don't work right, for some reason when the CPU Ciel in my game still does the 2C 2C everytime i fight her, and the CPUs seem more livelier then in 2.008.

[linalys]

Edit: keep in mind this isn't a complete list, just what was found out.

Kalciane says:
Changelist:

- Some bugfixes.
- Lowered defense rating of CPU-only Story Mode characters.

System:

- Corrected a glitch that placed a character into permanent blockstun. (Sorry, Arc.)

Ren:

- Charged 236A won't hit OTG anymore. Thanks, guys. Thanks a whole lot.

Walachia:

- 421A/B is a passive move. (? Didn't know it dealt anything on the ground)

HisuKoha:

- Corrected glitches involving Maid Beatdown.
- Corrected assist glitches.

Kohaku:

- Corrected a glitch that made you throw when pressing 6 during a move.

Satsuki:

- EX Punch damage lowered. :(

We'll be seeing the rest of this patch shortly, I think. I wish they would do something *besides* nerf people. We don't need lowered damage, we need *deeper gameplay*.

linalys says:
Shiki's OTG combo 2C, 236B doesn't work anymore. Opponent techs the 2nd hit of 236B.
Satsuki's 214C does 2400 instead of 2800 and scales by 45% DON'T DON'T DON'T super cancel this anymore people.
It will scale down to 45% due to move property then even more due to super cancel rule. A Punch -> EX Punch leaves the scaling at 29%
Shiki cannot OTG super.
Warc's air EX ring slams midair opponents to the ground.
Sion's charged C now cannot be followed up with anything as the opponent is invincible.

Out of all the com characters I fought against I hate fighting both V Sion and normal Sion. So annoying. Especially now with the 2.0.0.9a version of the game. I always get launched in the air or get hit by normal Sion's anti air attack. And playing as Sion is also annoying for me. It's so hard to do a launch combo before the com hits me. But that's just me...

well, I need some help with endings in melty blood story mode:

basically, I`m having some troubles in getting some of the endings; when playing a regular game, I don`t seem able to make it to the letter "K" in the final chapter, and I don`t know what must I do to fight there (I think you fight warakia ^.^ )

and, when you access the config menu, in the second window, you can view how many endings you have finished in your story mode record, I`m still missing the first (I think that`s the "K"), th fourth, and the eighth (I`m guessing this is for miyako).

please, if someone can give me a hint, or better, a faq for that endings, I`ll thank you forever *_* !!

kisses,

Maria ;)

This is the only thread I started that has over 180 posts (it fact, this is the only thread I started that even past 20 posts), so I won't let this thread ever die. It's nice that the Melty Blood Act Cadenza site is up, but too bad there's nothing on there yet. I really hope Act Cadenza would come to the arcade near my apartment. If it did, I would play it untill I ran out of money.

[Mysterio006]

I'm sure we all wish for Act Cadenza where we live, too bad its a pipe dream :p

We can only hope for an enterprising company willing to take a chance...

And if it did come at an arcade at my college, I'd probably never stop practicing and playing it :)

[ensignia]

I'm not a huge fan of fighting games, but I liked the small anime series that came out. I like the character Sion in the game though. Used to always play her when my friends wants to challenge me... even though I lose. ^^;

[Maria Renard]

I guess if this version will come out in dreamcast (since almost all naomi games came out, cvs2, mvc2, and a few others :) )

that would be great! :D

some of the latest info about this was:

(Official)

Funny looking arcade, in my opinion :p

Funny how Sacchan gets shafted so often, doesn't it? Well, I'm sure she has to be in this game. I don't really like the idea of pressing all four buttons to activate heat (reminds me too much of GG's death mode as well). And it doesn't look much different from ReAct yet, what with only Nero and Sion in those pics :p Still, looking foward to it...

Well, we can only hope that Act Cadenza will leave Japan and go to other countries...

I actually hate playing as all of the boss characters except for White Len. Obviously, they're all really cheap and you don't really need any skill to play them. But I do love fighting against them.

[Shiroki Okane]

That's of course. For some challenge right.

What do you all use to play? Keyboard or joypad?......or joystick?:p

[Mysterio006]

I just can't play with the joystick, I tend to jump a LOT, since just pushing up a bit makes me jump. I definitely prefer using the joypad, since its much more accurate. How do you manage using the joystick? Well, it's not as bad as my friend, who can barely execute any moves right now :P

I don't like playing as White Ren a whole lot, since you can't cancel her moves, but I like her icicle attack in the air (7500 damage :) ) The only character I like to play is Aoko, and Neko-Arc just to watch the other guy's expression on his face :D

[Zaido]

I started off using keyboard.. it was alright i got pretty used to it for a while... then switched to a game controller, at first didnt' know how to set to joy pad used analog stick so i set on table thinking of a arcade machine... then finally i know how to set it to joy pad and now i use joypad, i can finally connect combos i can't normally connect thanx to that =D

for bosses i ono i wanna try neko arc :rolleyes:

[Shiroki Okane]

Neko Arc is a cheater! Can't hit her while standing! Most moves are useless!! Annoying to fight...

[Maria Renard]

neko arc is more anoyying than difficult, specially with miyako >_<

[linalys]

Neko Arc is easiest with Miyako. All you have to do is press C. Neko Arc will repeatedly walk into stand C until she dies.

She's saying 「貴方を犯人です。」　which means "You are the culprit".

Updated: 2004.12.20
They added two new screenshots of the game:

There seems to be a dizzying system like Guilty Gear or something.
And the attack graphics look awsome.

[Mysterio006]

They certainly added a heck of a lot more... wind... effects. And dizzying isn't new, remember in the original Melty Blood there was dizzying if your vitality meter was depleted? (And to this day I cannot figure out what the heck that is supposed to do), but it's nice to see NekoArcs flying around like that :D. And I don't like the interface as much as MBR, it seems more... plainer, if you know what I mean.

But I'm glad Sacchin is in the game :)

Oh yeah, now I remember. I don't know what that does either.

I also think it's really plain. I wish they would put more effort in the small things, that make the game fun to look at. Like the attack affects and the interface.

[Maria Renard]

that new efects and characters cutscenes look so nasty... *drools* ...

[san-tokie]

They should replace the frames per second with timer or something else for MBAC.. it's on arcade after all and fps will be solid 60 unlike some people's PC, right?

I also agree about the interface, seems like they took step back from MBR to original MB with plain looking fonts.. still lot of time for improvement though :)

[Mysterio006]

Actually I have heard mention that Act Cadenza has a time limit, something like 77 seconds? I'm not sure if that's true or not though...

If they have to change something, I wish they improve the character's appearence... They look so pixelated, especially if you compare them to the likes of games like Guilty Gear.

I actually said 77 seconds on Beast's Lair forums, I wonder if that's where you got 77 from? But yeah AC has a time limit of 60 seconds, at least they did in the first demo runs.

As for the pixelated sprites, have you tried playing MBR on your tv? If not try it, you'd be surprised.

My eyes, they hurt. That's like the bluriest thing I've ever seen.

It's blur....
Or it has been captured by a camera?

[san-tokie]

It looks like computer hooked up to tv? My friend try it once, PC -> tv, screen is blurry no matter what... Looks to be not from camera, but video tape, because screenshot of quicktime movie file.

[linalys]

I just took a screenshot of some MB:AC gameplay from a .mov file that was up somewhere some long time ago. Yeah, the quality is really bad, but that was just to show the 60 sec point. Not anything to do with pic quality... :sweatdrop:

[Exo001]

Anyways, I don't know if this is the right thread to put this in, but you guys have made me curious of this game (since I'm fan of some 2d fighters, namely the guilty gear games). My question is, would you recommend this game to someone who plays Guilty Gear XX #Reload more than a little, and how does it compare in terms of gameplay (as in, shorter/longer combos, faster, etc.)?

[Ponzu]

[COLOR=DarkBlue]I would recommend you to play this because if you like Guilty Gear you'll like this. But if you compare the two, GG is better than Meltty Blood in graphics, music and sounds. But I love MB because of the character designs and story. This is more enjoyable if you played the game Tsukihime and/or saw the anime.

As for the gameplay. MB uses 4 buttons: Light Attack, Medium Attack, and Hard Attack. The fourth button is the

[Maria Renard]

mb it may be one of the best fighting games ever made :D

[chief977]

I love this game to death! unfortunately,I always beat my friends up in it. I need some competition!!

[srea]

It'll be more fun, if you know many combo moves

[Mysterio006]

Unless you're playing my roomate, who puts the condition that he'll play me only if I don't pull off my killer air combos :(

[Ponzu]

Changing the subject since the topic died.
I always wished that Melty Blood would be an anime. If it was I would want to watch Hisui fight Mech Hisui. Or at least a manga for it. I do read some of the anthologies though (too many to collect them all).

[Maria Renard]

I would like to see the story mode scenarios in an anime series... lol, just thinking about the g-akiha and the "oh! my sister!" scenarios makes me laugh :D:D:D

I don't know if that will work well. Just look at the XBox live version of Guilty Gear. It absolutely sucked. I've heard rumors about a console (possibly Dreamcast) port of MB:AC. Just a rumor though...

mainly because dreamcast works great as naomi console version ;)

[Maria Renard]

We have a setup in our common area with a PC hooked up to a TV. We get plenty of round robin matches going. Lots of fun :) I'd like to see a tag-team version of the game, moreso than the Kohaku/Hisui combo. Mirror matches with K/H vs. K/H can get confusing...

tohno vs nanaya matches comes to my mind :D

[kawaiiguy]

tohno vs nanaya matches comes to my mind :D

Been there, done that. Only one thing, Tonho takes less damage than Nanaya. Tonho is also slightly more powerful (making him good for a beginner). Nanaya has one advantage though: speed.

It's like Akiha vs. Akiha (reversed). Less succeptable to attack + powerful attacks vs. lightning fast moves. Reversed Akiha takes damage at 110% of normal while normal Akiha takes it at 90%. Tonho is also at 90% while Nanaya is at 100%. Not too big of a difference, but each hit will hurt a bit more.

[Zaido]

Lol
all those mirror matches ^^
i would like to see a Sion Vs Vamp Sion

[Ponzu]

I'm so happy, I finally got a USB PS2 adapter. It works great and I never thought Melty Blood would be this fun with the controller.

[Mysterio006]

Cool. It has its uses (makes comboing easier on the ground), but it took me a little while to get used to comboing in the air, for some reason it's a little harder. But enjoy, a controller is a lot better than the keyboard :D It took me like a month to get used to it though, at first I was totally thinking it's uncomfortable using a controller, I had to practically force myself to use one in ordre to get used to it :D

[kawaiiguy]

Vapire Sion has a decent advantage on this one. Even though she takes damage more than normal Sion (100% vs. 90%), her moves are far more powerful and diverse. She essentially has the entire movelist of regular Sion plus a few of Walachia's moves. This makes her a very formidable opponent.

My favorite charachters are Akiha (really nice and easy to pull off launcer/air combo) and Ciel (good long range attacks, decent all around, even in the air). I want to learn the Kohaku/Hisui pair better, since the EX maid beatdown is so much fun. I like the special charachters too, though they are far less fair to play as. White Ren has a move that costs 100% circuit, and hits for around 7000 damage unblocked. Imagine throwing that on someone as the very first thing in a fight. Though out of the 5 specials, White Ren is the most fair to use. :D

As for the controller, I think it definately makes things easier. However, I've always preferred my Gravis Gamepad Pro. The PS2 controller is nice, but I still don't like the D-pad on it.

[Zaido]

ah... well the game pad i dont 'think my controsl are sensative enough sometimes when i push the button it doens't perform the move i want...
only thing on dpad is i got better with Ciel with her combos just sometimes my game pad can't really read my diagonals...

TOTALLY BOOYARIFFIC. Gamepad Pro engages in a little side venture that I like to refer to as "pwning". The D-Pad is the best I've ever used for a fighting game. I'm glad they're so inexpensive, too.

And poor Ponzu's fingers are going to blister like virgin feet on hot sand from mashing on the PS2's piddly D-Buttons. Karl Malone say Playstation pad is for playing Final Fantasy on the emulator, not attempting complex moves that are also hard to do. Karl Malone says.

Hahaha... yeah... I can use the PS2 controller, but not for any extended period of time. Also, some moves are harder to pull off, in my opinion (e.g. Ciel's sword throwing). I can usually get the first one, but can't combo into the next 2.

Just stay away from the Gravis Eliminator. It's D-pad isn't really a D-pad, but more like an analog stick. Can't realy play fighting games with those...

And don't forget that if she manages to kick someone onto the ground, she can kick him two more times and deal a cheap extra 2000 damage. So damn cheap! Personally I like playing Neko-Arc more though, a much larger move set, like her flamethrower and her very amusing Arc Drive :D
