EDIT: Yes, I’m aware I made a mistake with H-Moon Style being able to EX Guard. That is incorrect.
Special thanks to Patreon and channel members for helping me make this type of content. This is review #3 of 28. Next review is Guilty Gear Accent Core +R.
I think is +R is one of, if not the greatest fighting game ever made. I'm definitely looking forward to the review!
I'm looking forward to reviewing it.
@@MacSplicer what are you?
A dude on the internet.
@@MacSplicer on a philosophical level
i really wish you brought up the community edition and it's godly netcode people need to know there is a way to play it online
I'm surprised he didn't bring it up.
I never include the online components in reviews since they are often inconsistent experiences which are judged on a case by case basis. However, yes. MBAACC's rollback netcode via the community edition is great.
@@rxzero00 this game is pretty cool. Mecha Hisui looks nice, I hope she isn't weak compare to the other cast.
@@soratheorangejuicemascot5809 Oh my gosh I never thought I see you here. You're a Melty Blood fan too?
@@rxzero00 I am not the biggest fan but I am very interested on Eltnam JAV and mecha hisui only.
I wish more games felt like Melty Blood. Im still really new to fighting games but I picked it up last year just so that I had a base undertsanding of how it plays. And wow did it feel buttery smooth.
If you're looking for something like MB, you can try your hand with Under Night In-Birth, wich is considered its spiritual succesor, to the point where Sion (Now called Eltnum) is a playable character
@@kiracomfortinghishomie8351 The loss of aerial freedom from MB -> Under Night makes you feel like you're playing in planet Jupiter's gravity
@@conned2rpi UNI is just _fundamentally_ a more grounded game. Makes me think French Bread set out to make something markedly different from Melty Blood but retain enough (reverse beat, etc.) to still feel like a spiritual successor.
I'm just glad it has Sion/Eltnum in it.
as a melee/pm player, this game introduced me to anime fighters, and theres something so welcoming about the grunginess of competitive melty. the fact that its played through a command line with fanmade rollback hits home as a melee player, especially with the recent inclusion of rollback in slippi 2
this game is sick and its the reason i got into skullgirls and tfh, i totally recommend, and i hope that it gets a revival similar to RoM
I didn't realize that MBAACC is a deep game, MBAC was my entry title in learning fighting games, so that could be the reason why. MBAA's release in 2009 felt like the same game with more options to choose from.
I remember that when we have new players to our play sessions. The simplest explanation we give for each moonstyle was always:
Crescent = Basic Melty Blood.
Half = Melty Blood with game mechanics on autopilot. Auto-Heat, Auto-Spark, Auto-Shield counter, has dodge, no Blood Heat,has dial A (6AAA),
Full = Traditional fighter. No Reverse Beat, it's like playing SF or KOF with air combos, no dodge, has Blood Heat, can charge like Dragon Ball Z, manual shield counter
Never thought I would see a Melty Blood Review in 2020 but this is really good. I hope you continue to make these review videos.
Bet you never thought you'd play a new Melty Blood game again then Type Lumina came along.
No game has ever came close to the greatness that is melty blood
Super fun.
This is currently $5 on Steam
The community version with rollback netcode however is free.
@@amuslam2266 i'd get both really purely for ranked and lobbies
@@amuslam2266 I gotta support my devs tho
It's ass compared to the community version
@@Professor_Utonium_ The devs? You mean French Bread who moved onto Under Night In-Birth and thus likely don't get a cent from Melty Blood purchases, and Kinoko Nasu who's more interested in gachashit than a Tsukihime remake he's been teasing us with for years?
I've been learning from other fighting game focused channels, and you gave me new insight on reviews for fighting games specifically. This is the first one of yours I saw so far, & I really love how much emphasis you have on the Presentation!
Thanks! I find that reviewing fighting games should be scaled differently compared to other genres, so I focus on quality of gameplay depth and real-time battle cues over things like story and customization options, which are nice additions but not as important to a fighting game.
Great review. I can't believe I missed it when I comment in one of your MB videos before. UA-cam recommended me this video.
The depth in MB's gameplay is second to none. I have never seen such smooth and fast gameplay in a fighting game before. Type-Moon didn't release the PS2 versions of Act Cadenza and Actress Again because Type-Moon's license was very expensive and still is. Other companies are unwilling to publish their games. Capcom avoid a release outside of Japan with Fate/unlimited codes. So far it has only been Aniplex who has released Type-Moon products outside of Japan (NA region at least). FGO on smartphones and Everyday! Today's Menu for the Emiya Family on Nintendo eshop.
That is a shame in my opinion we miss out the source material outside of Japan. Type-Moon is very popular in Japan which makes their license even more expensive. Believe or not but Melty Blood was more popular than Guilty Gear in Japan. The PS2 version of Act Cadenza sold 10 times more than PS2 version of Guilty Gear XX Reload. Actress Again released when portable gaming had taken over Japan and the mobile boom was a thing. The animation in Melty Blood is what made the game so popular in Japan.
I just happened to be recommended with Tougeki sbo 2006 finals for Melty Blood Act Cadenza
ua-cam.com/video/WRgCvuDas44/v-deo.html
It was the year before Capcom debuted Monster Hunter Festa and become a competitive thing because MH Portable blew up big on PSP. I think the last legs of arcade in Japan was between 2007 and 2010.
The gameplay looks crazy when a pro plays it. Tales of the Ils knew what they were doing to get the audience on their side. What a show off. Hype!
I first played act cadenza, but Melty blood will always be in my top 5 favorite fighting games.
This is the best fighting game ever to me.
imo nothing will ever top pm/melee, but this game was the first anime fighter id ever played and it got me into skullgirls and tfh and while i dislike the anime artstyle i come back to it all the time because its absolutely sick
3rd strike is the best for me, it is absolutely revolutionary, introducing so many new things to the fighting game scene, not to mention it's deep gameplay, while on the surface masking that that, oh yeah and the spritework that holds up to even today's standards.
@@illgeteverythingback so...
neutral fighters peaked in '99
platform fighters peaked in '01
anime fighters peaked in '02
What has happened since then? Catering to normies and chasing market shares. **cracks open Monster ultra**
@@conned2rpi preach your gospel, my friend
@@ygypt imagine saying pm is as good as melee
learning alot from your channel as a game dev diving into fighting game development.Keep it up
Hey cool! Good luck with your development! :)
@@MacSplicer thankyou
first time I ever clicked on a video uploaded 40 seconds ago
Man, is it me or you really good at making Reviews?
Again, great video man, hope to see more of your Reviews soon...
Glad you like them! :)
Great review man. i picked this up for pennies and was surprised how fun it is. I did not know all the moon stuff though, so thanks for that.
Glad you’re enjoying it! :)
My childhood...
I already know the music but thanks for putting it in the description barely anyone does that
This was a nice and informative video you got yourself a new subscriber
viewtifulsoul21 Thanks! :)
Great review! You managed to explain all of the mechanics very clearly! I never knew this game was so mechanically deep though, so I think I'll just stick to listening to the OST... ^^'
Just avoid that crazy car alarm track ;)
@@MacSplicer that's one of my favourite tracks in the game...
Great review bro
Thank you!
@@MacSplicer Dont mention it. Just making sure you know bro... thanks again 👌
One of the best 2D fighting games out there and great Type-Moon foundation of itself!
Thank you for spreading Melty greatness, might pull someone new in the Nasuverse rabbit hole lol.
Len’s running animation is so fucken funny
I have never heard so many keywords being used for one fighting game. Its actually p terrifying.
The fun part is that you don't really need to know most of this to start having fun.
It's almost masher-friendly and you can eke out rounds with simple combos & good defence.
Other tidbits:
*Reverse Beats in this game heavily increase damage scaling/heavily prorate if combo'ed off of.
*Air teching has very little invul frames, which can put someone in a pickle of they try to button mash to reduce damage but air tech on accident to eat reset damage.
*For those coming from the prior Act Cadenza installment, Crescent Moon movesets for most characters is their default version.
*Midair movement forfeits most standard air dash lengths for most characters in favor of being able to have air options being combined into one another before landing (e.g. double jumping after an air dash like in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom), air dashes being cancel-able sooner, air drifting during a jump (reused in Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax), and all ground moves being air unblockable. These all focus on more intricate aerial spacing akin to how Smash Bros.' aerial spacing works, and less braindead air-to-air management.
*The characters' overall in design can be rather a bit of a miss since nearly all the characters were designed first for a visual novel as opposed to a fighting game (barring those solely introduced into MB such as Sion). Thus, compared to pure-fighting-game-IP's, some character designs overall can be a bit lacking just for source material's sake compared to the liberties taken in Under Night In-Birth.
i think that the simple character design is actually a very welcome change. if you look at every other fighting game, you see people with 20 belts 30 katanas and some more belts.
in melty most characters look simple but at the same time they dress like a normal person would dress ( for the most part). the whole theme is centered around people that look normal at first glance, but have powers that are beyond that of a human. the stages are urban too, because lore wise the fighting happens deep in the night in vacant alleys, store houses, on the streets late at night to steer away from peoples eyes. what lacks in character design is also remedied by the animation and the style of fighting.
Ajny Hoang As much as I can agree with that, I think most of the variety criticism comes from the fact that, roster-wise, it has Melee syndrome: CLONES EVERYWHERE. Among the cast we have Shiki Tohno, Shiki Nanaya aka the “evil” side of Shiki Tohno, Shiki Ryougi (though she’s from a different VN so it doesn’t count as much), TWO Akiha Tohnos, Akiha Vermillion which is the evil side of Akiha Tohno, Kohaku, Hisui, Mech-Hisui, Kohaku/Hisui team, Kohaku/Mech-Hisui team, the list goes on...
Sure, as far as functionality they’re different, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have 3 Akihas, like Ultimate having 2-4 Marth clones.
@@Gamesmarts194 oh okay, if you mean it like that then i agree. the amount of clones in this game is very high unfortunately.
@@Gamesmarts194 tbh clones in this game have pretty different playstyles. I really don't mind it in a game like melty which has a very large cast (especially if you count moon types). Although melty isn't the best example of this, I think "clones" are a great way for FG developers to reuse animations and assets in order to make a unique character while wasting less budget (Melee Falco and Ganon, GG Robo Ky and Order Sol, HFTF Shadow Dio, etc.)
@@Gamesmarts194 I'd argue Shiki Ryougi is not a clone
Despite its oil well of depth, MB is still quite easy to pick up and play. My friends used to play it occasionaly without having an idea of its extra mechanics and had a blast picking a large variety of adjustable archetypes. Just take a bit to explore the fighters and you will find one fit for your style. Zoning White Len is still one of my all time greats.
Never pick the Necos though, them critters are just unfair to play against.
The Necos are actually the worst characters in the game lol.
@@jy61 I hate (love) them sooooo much lmao
as expected from Neko Arcs
Half moon characters actually tend to be offensive, with the automatic heat allowing you to continue offense and restore red life at the same time similarly to Full Moon's Initiative Heat, but only requiring 200 meter and not requiring a specific IH combo or anything. They also actually lack the ability to Ex Guard, which puts into question Half Moon's defensive capability. Losing Last Arc as a threat on shield also possibly counts as a weaker defensive capability, even if using Last Arc isn't particularly common. The inability to activate Heat as a reversal also results in a weaker defense.
But otherwise, good review overall and I'm glad you brought attention to this game.
recently start playing real fighting game like KOF13 , Guilty Gear xrd, BlazBlue and now Melty Blood
and i must say Melty Blood is my favorite so far overall, might be becausse i love the Fate series in the first place or maybe just because of the old feel it gave me
great game even to this day
One day, ONE DAY we'll get a perfect edition with every version of this game in one perfect package for upcoming consoles.
the stages are definitely barren but i think that has to do with the fights in tsukihime taking place during the night in abandoned alleys and closed schools lol. as cool as having background characters in a stage would be (like street fighter) it would feel a bit out of place given the original material. great review overall, looking forward to watching more!
I agree with this review
Melty is eternal
In my opinion this is the best anime fighter
(I recommend read Tsukihime too 👍)
I would recommend under night in-birth myself (where shion is a guest character)
I literally started playing today lol
Modernism street thats all I need
Olé!
The animation fluidity is mind blowing, I can't believe arcsys is still fucking it up so badly both in BB and GG. Then again, even UNICLR isn't nearly as smooth as Melty. That was the main reason that brought me to this game.
I had such fun with this game, then read the manga without knowing what type of visual novel it was. Sad times.
Nice review but you really should have mentioned the game's heavy emphasis on the games unique air footsies and air to ground interactions.
If you want to play Melty Blood, get the community version if you want a better connection than the Steam version for FREE, the Steam version is definitely easier to access, but community version is worth it. Here is the link for the download: www.reddit.com/r/meltyblood/comments/4acngf/mbaacc_community_edition/
Haha I have no idea how this was my first fighting game, I was hype on it when the steam release was announced and bought it day one and it turned out to be terrible. Even entered frosty faustings for this game 😂 it definitely needs some tutorial videos. No mention of CCaster's awesome online compared to steams terrible netcode? Don't even try to play steam online, people say samsho 7s online is bad but this easily had the worse ever! Which fucked me up since ASW did hire mad scientist to add rollback and they never did. I guess he's the one doing it for strive huh?
Yes, the community edition of the game is quite superior to steams version with regards to its online component.
your voice is like a mix of Bored Ronin & Novriltataki
Its criminal you didn't use the main menu theme in this video.
I wanted to but it just the transitions out of sounded awkward lol.
I could have sworn that EX-guarding wasn't available in Half-Moon style.
Yeah I made a mistake on that detail.
Wait this is a spinoff?
Make a review on Ougon Musou please
It's on the 7th generation list. So in due time.
@@MacSplicer Oh yes thank you!
Didn’t this game have rollback by community programmers outside of French Bread? Did French Bread ever contact them, ever put this update into the official game?
If they didn’t, why haven’t they done so?
afaik the programmer said they were working with arc on it a couple of years ago, but then nothing happened
This game has rollback with the community edition. Check the discord for how to use that.

Biggest down side to this game is that you have to play in the bathroom at locals
F-Wara
#aspect ratio police
Lol I thought this is the new hentai nurse review 😅
Anyone wanna play melty with me?
discordapp.com/invite/0TJ5ma4C19VUCEeV
Plenty of people to match with here.
As a somewhat newcomer, Melty is, funnily enough, one of the easiest game to pick up in my opinion.
If only this was for something other than PC. Until then, I won't bother with it.
When probably it wont have rollback like the community edition(Fanmade launcher). And honestly Steam Melty already shows how bad it goes online for the game and that it really needs rollback with the only option being the community edition.
Well, hopefully it comes on console with rollback netcode too
@@awalkingfurret4207 never gonna happen
Even a toaster can run this game optimally, unless you just literally have no computers whatsoever in your home, at a friend's place, or at work/school, I don't see why you wouldn't at least try it if you have interest in the game.
you're the one missing out
why the hell is this shit stretched out
To annoy you.
