Melty Blood Type Lumina is a new game with a crazy cast, so lets take a look at every character and what they have to offer you! Timestamps in video so you can skip around to whatever characters you think are neat. Cast is very diverse and I love em! Although wish there was a proper full on grappler :-0
Awesome overview of the chars, could u make a guide to master the parry in this game in detail like u use to cover. Im playing kouma and I need to master the parry with him, its essential.
Also, fun thing about the maids duo, if you are Hisui lead, using the 214A assist to get the plant, then using Hisui's 4B to water it, you get the big tree dude.
@@Rooflemonger It's super good, you can water it while it spins and locks the opponent, and since the 4B is still unblockable, they'll get knocked down and forced to wakeup into the tree running them over. And even if the opponent does something, well, Kohaku threw the plant, not Hisui, so Hisui getting hit doesn't remove it like it would for solo Kohaku.
Accounting maids' story, it makes perfect sense that Hisui looks serious, but her moveset is a half-random mess, while Kohaku always acts like she is teasing you, but has a hidden katana inside her broom that she can use with the precision of cold-blooded professional
Just gonna take a moment to say your content is basically the reason I'm so into fighting games at the moment. You lay everything out clearly, have an approachable, honest demeanor and make everything so understandable. Thank you for all your effort because it's introduced me to something new that I absolutely love.
Okay so last video I bemoaned the lack of grapplers/big boys, but I was unaware of being able to bake my opponent an elaborate, 3-tier cake with a persisting hitbox. I'm good now.
It's day 2, so nothing is certain, but currently, it doesn't feel like what you lose for playing maids is big enough to justify playing them alone much. You trade a single special and a single moon skill for assists version of them, but the ones you sacrifice are not that good. Kohaku lose ground molotov but she can still air molotov, meanwhile she gains crazy assists. Hisui is even better as lead for Maids because she can ask Kohaku to do the plant, and the plant won't go away if Hisui gets hit. Basically, don't play one maid, play both, even if you don't care about one of them, the one you like is better for it.
Guess Vlov is the closest approximation to Nero for the time being, but honestly just want Melty to be Rooflemonger's gateway drug to have him fall into the Type-Moon lore pit. Ridiculous History of Saber when?!
I do wish we are able to see Nero Chaos again soon. Thankfully despite with Vlov taking his role in the story, Nero is still in the lore as the 10th DAA and has a cutscene with Roa on the ge still. One plus side of doing this it means Nero is no longer the awkward mid-boss he was in the story so im hoping to see his abilities and powers more fleshed out given his rank among the Dead Ancestor Apostles
The remake might have "bleached its underpants" so to speak but it's still quite dark. From what I can tell It seems that the explicit scenes still happen but they're more implicit than explicit.
Something to be aware of is the Hisui item toss isn't entirely random. You can manipulate the items you get by pressing directions directly after the item input.
@@n64central I am… legit I get in training and the inputs are okay but when I try to do them after something even tho I can see the inputs are correct I dont get the special
22:51 This chair is an eyesore. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair.
I think the father Anderson vibe with Ciel makes me want to play this character.Also if you don't know " ciel " is the sky in french so her name makes sense for a divine battle nun.
Remember guys, you can block crossup overhead just by walking backwards from the start position of the move before it crosses up(so you would be blocking into the move). Doesn't work with lows obviously.
Thanks for the Video my friend. I'm just getting into Melty blood and kinda copped this game on a whim. I'm really enjoying Hisui(with Kohaku), Noel and Saber thus far but idk which one to really focus on for my main character but that will come with time and practice. I'll see which one gives me the most success in online matches
30:16 IMPORTANT CORRECTION: Red Arc's charged 5B is both overhead and hyper-armour. It's very good for oki, just don't be predictable and do it all the time because people can shield/grab/EX-dp out of it
Roa was called "Honest Mids Michael" ironically because he was fucking broken. Like the idea was that he didn't really have strong high low mix cause all his best tools hit mid, but his best tools basically broke the rules of the game. 236C wall bouncing+takes up 90% of the screen+plus on block+air unblockable, orb placement (especially tk orb placement) made it so he could cut off massive portions of the screen limiting movement, he could cancel special moves into other special moves which makes the previous point much more powerful cause he can quickly place orbs but it also makes his pressure insanely strong as it makes some of his options plus on block cause he can cancel into charge lightning, he has + frames for days which can lead to problems because MBAACC had a guard bar and if you tried to block him out he would just guard break you (his specials also do insane guard damage), etc. He was mad fucked up, but "bro theyre just mids, lol"
@@myman5391 nah the term is pretty concretely used as a joke to refer to C Roa. You're right that F-Roa is honest but thats why basically nobody played that moon lol
Hisui&Kohaku is my kind of character. Had no intention of buying this game but after watching this video and listening to you break it all down, I gotta try it out
This game has a nice feel compared to uniclr but its been great so far and hope to learn more of it also with uniclr. The only thing ive been running trouble lately is matches. If not ranked mostly player matches online that ill have some matches or just suddenly drop or a message saying the timer to start ran out. On the plus side and ive been mentioning this before is the starting perameters for the music and sound are defaulted at 50% which is a good plus! I knew this game would be hugely tuned up on sound so thank god the settings were cut in half! (For switch runners anyway lol)
That's the correct pronunciation according to my tsukihime super nerd friend, and also touted as the correct pronunciation by many people in the previous video in the comments. *EDIT* shame mark removed!
@@Rooflemonger I didn’t imply that you mispronounced it I was just surprised and honestly impressed how much research you’ve been putting into your vids ever since your first couple vids on tsukihime
Vlov doesn't really feel like a zoner when you run through his trials, he's more of a grappler due to his command grab extensions and the stomp rekka that pulls you in. He's fun as all hell to play!
I think an easier process 1. Pick a character 2. Go to mission mode 3. See If the characters moves in mission mode work with your play style 4. You have a main 5. Don't pick your main solely based on competitive viability because that's not picking a main that piggy backing Realistically I chose Red Arcuied because she looks cool and just learned how to play her after mission mode
This is what I had to do when I picked of KOFXIII. There was so much variety I got lost so I picked based on whose combos felt good and also had a cool aesthetic. Ended up REALLY liking Leona and even doing decent online despite my poor execution with other characters.
@@Rooflemonger yes I don't hate guilty gear whatsoever I love it so much but I don't know what it is about this game that I just can't stop playing it and I see a lot of people comparing it to guilty gear so I thought I would just take my hot take
Small thing about Kouma and his EX Command grab, it's a reversal throw! It is Invincible Frame one so if you know if they're gonna hit ya with a safe jump, you dunk em and start running your gameplan!
WHAT THE *FU-* i swear this game has too many good characters-Arcueid, Shiki, Ciel, Hisui, Kohaku, Red Arcueid, Roa, Miyako, Hisui & Kohaku combo- i have no idea who to pick all i know is i'm basically a feral gremlin xd my defensive option is usually dodging instead of blocking; just being evasive going through attacks or moving out of the way instead of blocking them- and i wanna be always on top of the opponent clinging onto them like a beast and just constantly tearing them up (i am willing to play at range so long as i can keep that aggressivity)
Except for the "Honest mids" part, I'm definitely feeling some Chipp Zanuff-ness from Mike. Haven't played yet so maybe I'm wrong but I feel like I'm gonna killed the same way when I face guys who know what their doing.
26:00 to all my Nappas, JackOs, MK11 Jokers. honestly the most fun ive had in a day 1 character ever. ive never had more fun just knocking a character down or being fullscreen with meter
Appreciate it a ton for explaining some of the built in mechanics some of these characters have. I intended to start off with red arc, knowing about her armor ability but not being able to understand all of her armor moves, so without it, she just seemed like a bit of an average all rounder. I actually started off with the hisui&kohaku pairing and using Hisui because she has a lot more close range combo hits she can manage, and honestly the comedy and just Goofy and adorable nature of it looked fun. Now that I know how red arc works, I think I can get back to practicing with her and actually using her.
I played this a bit on my last train ride, and boy are the Kouma auto comvos satisfying. Then I played Kohaku and randomly got her to do the witch move to finish the set, that shit was hilarious! Now I see that she can throw out potted plants?? What a fabulous game.
Kohaku being utterly derranged is perfectly believable with her animations. Just stay clear from the basement when she's around, she may feed you to everyone's favorite siscon
Knowing myself, I'm probably gonna be a Ciel main in Type Lumina. Despite her inputs being a little different from an actual Shoto, she seems the most Shoto-like.
@@HWHY why not both? This game wants you to learn the engine more than specific characters, and you can do the same bnb between ciel and warc in scramble situations
Likes/Shares/etc all very much appreciated for these longer kinds of videos, thank you in advance 🐵 Sorry for this going up a bit late, stuck in youtube processing hell for a very long time, its up though! Next up, Melty Blood Type Lumina essential tips, and then maybe we can see about putting out a combo and character guide or two
For vlov, in general, ice moves are faster than fire moves but can have a harder time leading to big damage combos and also aren't as good on block. So you have an easier time in neutral but lose some of your pressure. In the long run they're functionally the same, you just have to remember which version you're in

16:05 the third hit of Saber's rekkas is not a low :(
@@thatsmokerwasme yeah I botched that and got confused my bad its low then OH. got it confused with arcueids for a second
Sorry I’m gonna do the Nintendo fan move! “Theres not a lot of characters”
Jokes on you I’ve been completely unfamiliar with Melty Blood till Type Lumina’s announcement so I’m watching the whole thing :)
Also, fun thing about the maids duo, if you are Hisui lead, using the 214A assist to get the plant, then using Hisui's 4B to water it, you get the big tree dude.
Well hot dog, that's the secret tech
@@Rooflemonger It's super good, you can water it while it spins and locks the opponent, and since the 4B is still unblockable, they'll get knocked down and forced to wakeup into the tree running them over.
And even if the opponent does something, well, Kohaku threw the plant, not Hisui, so Hisui getting hit doesn't remove it like it would for solo Kohaku.
Holy shit lol. I wasn't gonna play em cause I'm new but I'm willing to suffer to summon big tree dude.
Too cool!
@@Nooctae what's the point of playing the solo versions.
The duo looks way stronger
Ciel is an fgo player's worst nightmare with the ammount of black keys she can toss per round
This sentence made me feel true dread. You've ruined my day and I thank you for it.
Black keys we're removed along time ago to fp Gacha.
But still we get worse
Mapo tofu and shinji
I just realized that ciel is a mashu face lmao
@@r3zaful u mean mash is a ciel face
At least they added saber from fgo to make up for all the black keys she'll give you
"But thats a deadly picnic, because that picnic has a hitbox."
Fighting games are over
Accounting maids' story, it makes perfect sense that Hisui looks serious, but her moveset is a half-random mess, while Kohaku always acts like she is teasing you, but has a hidden katana inside her broom that she can use with the precision of cold-blooded professional
I love Kohaku man, her route broke my heart
Yeah, you could play Hisui as a zoner, or you could be a chad and force them into the EX PICNIC BLENDER
Oh my God yes I love messing with people with that strat
Just gonna take a moment to say your content is basically the reason I'm so into fighting games at the moment. You lay everything out clearly, have an approachable, honest demeanor and make everything so understandable. Thank you for all your effort because it's introduced me to something new that I absolutely love.
Thanks for the words friend, I do my best so people can enjoy and love fighting games as much as I do
These are my favorite videos when a new game that I don't know much about comes out. Thanks so much for doing these, you're a treasure in the FGC
38:59 everyone, stop what you're doing and look at Miyako's walk cycle.
Definitely one of the walk cycles of all time
@@arachnofiend2859 You ever see a kitten try to pounce for the first time? That's what this reminds me of.
Main reason why I decided to main her ngl
Miyakos walk is just hilarious, she's just tip toeing forward like "I'm gonna getcha" and it makes me laugh everytime.
Okay so last video I bemoaned the lack of grapplers/big boys, but I was unaware of being able to bake my opponent an elaborate, 3-tier cake with a persisting hitbox. I'm good now.

Basically, don't play one maid, play both, even if you don't care about one of them, the one you like is better for it.
Eh I do like the fact Kohaku by herself has an invincible reversal, which the duo decidedly does not.
I might play Maid duo or Vlov as my main
I’ll try them individually to get a better understanding for them. Once I feel comfortable, I’ll pull out the duo maids
well if people are saying it after having the game for one day then it must be true
@@Rooflemonger haha my inner oof when i heard "Dont play double maids if new to the series" . Of course I went for the weird complicated character XD.
Guess Vlov is the closest approximation to Nero for the time being, but honestly just want Melty to be Rooflemonger's gateway drug to have him fall into the Type-Moon lore pit. Ridiculous History of Saber when?!
You could make a ridiculous history for the exsistance of the Melty Blood itself. Tsukihime is not an action novel.
I do wish we are able to see Nero Chaos again soon. Thankfully despite with Vlov taking his role in the story, Nero is still in the lore as the 10th DAA and has a cutscene with Roa on the ge still. One plus side of doing this it means Nero is no longer the awkward mid-boss he was in the story so im hoping to see his abilities and powers more fleshed out given his rank among the Dead Ancestor Apostles
I have learned the Tsukihime, the Fate lore will be learned when they wanna put out a full on fighter
@@Rooflemonger We NEED a ridiculous history of at least Saber tho.
@@Rooflemonger So, Fate/Unlimited Codes Starter guide is what's next, then?
Red Arcueid gang stand up.
Thanks for the video Roofle! You're my favorite fighting game content creator!
I wasn’t sure if I wanted to buy this game or not, but then I found out it has a samurai-maid-botanist-witch and I was sold.
I already have a main in mind, just here to support and also get a better idea how the other characters are supposed to be played lol
"Kohaku is definitely crazy"
*Sobs in Tsukihime*
none of that stuff happens in the remake so now shes just crazy
@@Rooflemonger None of it happens /yet/. We're still getting a Far Side Remake, too. But yeah... It's probably going to be less severe.
The remake might have "bleached its underpants" so to speak but it's still quite dark. From what I can tell It seems that the explicit scenes still happen but they're more implicit than explicit.
@@mallow2902 is “bleached underpants” a euphemism for something??
@@AtlantaHays yes, it refers to when a series (usually a visual novel) cleans out on screen pornographic content in later entries.
Something to be aware of is the Hisui item toss isn't entirely random. You can manipulate the items you get by pressing directions directly after the item input.
Wow, this game is fun as hell. Feels very comfortable on the hands. Myiako is definitely my favorite kung fu goblin.
I agree, I feel like I’m not straining to do inputs. It’s nice
@@n64central I am… legit I get in training and the inputs are okay but when I try to do them after something even tho I can see the inputs are correct I dont get the special
It looks bland. But when i played it and it feels so good and is fun
Love the little bits of lore you throw in every now and then.
How to choose your main in Melty blood game:
step 1: wait for Neko arc to release
step 2: profit
"She is absolutely berserker"
Did you know ? In Fate/Extra, her class is Berserker. kinda fitting ngl
I knew this was coming and pleasantly surprised how quick you got it out. Great work!
Uploaded the moment I decided to check for it! Thank you for your hard work.
Short & sweet cast breakdowns like this when a game releases are like caviar to me.
I’m really having with Noel rn her lance type weapon animates so cool
22:51 This chair is an eyesore. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair.
30:16 Charged 5B for Red Arc actually is an overhead though. Anyway I really enjoyed the video; keep up the good work.
I cannot wait for the Vlov tips and tricks video. Keep up the good work!
Been looking for a video like this all day. Good stuff!
I think the father Anderson vibe with Ciel makes me want to play this character.Also if you don't know " ciel " is the sky in french so her name makes sense for a divine battle nun.

I love your format so much, always excepcional videos
Thank you very much, I never get tired of those
was WAITING for this video
great video as always roofle
I watched your beginner guide right before I bought the game. Never played a Melty blood game you def gained a sub great explanations!
As a man with 2 right hand arc is a god send, her inputs just flow into each other so well
Is the thumb of the left hand on the left side of your hand?
@@chillaxboi2109 maybe
Thanks for the Video my friend. I'm just getting into Melty blood and kinda copped this game on a whim. I'm really enjoying Hisui(with Kohaku), Noel and Saber thus far but idk which one to really focus on for my main character but that will come with time and practice. I'll see which one gives me the most success in online matches
Saber being in the game gives me some hope that we might have Gilgamesh in the future
Or a character that resembles archer as well
Year old but obligatory FUHUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!
little kungfu goblin is the most accurate miyako statement i couldn't stop laughing
game looks pretty wild - thanks for the video!
I've had my Melty mains longer than we've known Type Lumina was coming but... I'm here to support the content.
30:16 IMPORTANT CORRECTION: Red Arc's charged 5B is both overhead and hyper-armour. It's very good for oki, just don't be predictable and do it all the time because people can shield/grab/EX-dp out of it

Roa was called "Honest Mids Michael" ironically because he was fucking broken.

what you said is true for crescent roa, but honest mids michael generally refers to full roa, who is definitely much more fitting of the description
@@myman5391 nah the term is pretty concretely used as a joke to refer to C Roa. You're right that F-Roa is honest but thats why basically nobody played that moon lol
I already knew I wanted to play Vlov and Hisui, but Saber, Red Arc, and Kouma look like fun for me as well! ^^
This was really helpful thanks 🔥
Hisui&Kohaku is my kind of character. Had no intention of buying this game but after watching this video and listening to you break it all down, I gotta try it out
Keep it going love the support your giving for this game its a lot of fun but also difficult as well
I can't believe of all 9 movesets they could have used for Akiha they went with the awesome onion rings, I feel super lucky
My early favorite is Miyako, for the big pile of wall bounces.
Ik who imma main but i enjoy these types of video so imma watch it
This game has a nice feel compared to uniclr but its been great so far and hope to learn more of it also with uniclr. The only thing ive been running trouble lately is matches. If not ranked mostly player matches online that ill have some matches or just suddenly drop or a message saying the timer to start ran out.

I think I’m gonna be a double Arcueid main and play Arcueid and Red Arcueid.
Not a minute into the video he pronounced Arcuied as “Arcade” goddamnit lol
That's the correct pronunciation according to my tsukihime super nerd friend, and also touted as the correct pronunciation by many people in the previous video in the comments. *EDIT* shame mark removed!
@@Rooflemonger I didn’t imply that you mispronounced it I was just surprised and honestly impressed how much research you’ve been putting into your vids ever since your first couple vids on tsukihime
@@-Fraud well then I remove your shame! Thank you for the compliment friend lol
Man, I've been wondering how that name's supposed to be pronounced.
Her name is pronounced like arcade but put q in it "ar-qu-ad"
Vlov doesn't really feel like a zoner when you run through his trials, he's more of a grappler due to his command grab extensions and the stomp rekka that pulls you in. He's fun as all hell to play!
Honestly I was having a hard time figuring out who does what in this game. Thanks Mr Monger!
This was a really helpful video for someone new to the franchise (like me). Great work, loving this game so far 😊
I think an easier process
1. Pick a character
2. Go to mission mode
3. See If the characters moves in mission mode work with your play style
4. You have a main
5. Don't pick your main solely based on competitive viability because that's not picking a main that piggy backing
Realistically I chose Red Arcuied because she looks cool and just learned how to play her after mission mode
I picked regular Arcueid because my style consists on dashing forward and mashing random buttons until I win (mainly charged C)
This is what I had to do when I picked of KOFXIII. There was so much variety I got lost so I picked based on whose combos felt good and also had a cool aesthetic.
Ended up REALLY liking Leona and even doing decent online despite my poor execution with other characters.
Arc to Rarc ratio of how many main = 1:10. Yep, Rarc is everywhere.
Almost uninstalled the game when you said "like Bayonetta she has a Witch Time !" PTSD from Smash4 still strong
Ciels command jump is so sick. That’s enough of a reason for me to main her.
Miyako can also combo after a throw, if you want even more mix-ups. I just love my little short aggressive kung fu goblin.
Melty Blood, also known as the game where all the characters/archetypes looks like they'd be fun to play
Your videos were super helpful for both GG:Strive and for Type Lumina, appreciate your hard work!
I decided on miyako. The idea of a baby beating up all these grown ups is funny. Just look at her walk. Fucking hilarious.
This might be a hot take but for some reason I find this game much more fun than guilty gear
And balanced
Playing guilty gear feels like I'm wearing concrete gauntlets in comparison
@@electricant55 this comment made me laugh 🤣
Not every game for everyone. Some people hate E honda crouching for 90 seconds to win by timeout, thats my favourite thing in the world
@@Rooflemonger yes I don't hate guilty gear whatsoever I love it so much but I don't know what it is about this game that I just can't stop playing it and I see a lot of people comparing it to guilty gear so I thought I would just take my hot take
Kouma is the only correct answer
Saber, Red, Akiha, miyako, and kohaku all look mad fun
Small thing about Kouma and his EX Command grab, it's a reversal throw! It is Invincible Frame one so if you know if they're gonna hit ya with a safe jump, you dunk em and start running your gameplan!
Noel cause of her throw duh
a little down bad
WHAT THE *FU-*
i swear this game has too many good characters-Arcueid, Shiki, Ciel, Hisui, Kohaku, Red Arcueid, Roa, Miyako, Hisui & Kohaku combo- i have no idea who to pick
all i know is i'm basically a feral gremlin xd my defensive option is usually dodging instead of blocking; just being evasive going through attacks or moving out of the way instead of blocking them- and i wanna be always on top of the opponent clinging onto them like a beast and just constantly tearing them up (i am willing to play at range so long as i can keep that aggressivity)
I love u man thank u for everything u do for fgc from mk11 to vf5 to ggs to melty you're amazing man
i'm convinced the same guy who runs food wishes runs this channel - they have the almost exact same tenor and cadence.
Me, buying the game at the last moment just because of Saber:
Hmmm, very interesting...
Except for the "Honest mids" part, I'm definitely feeling some Chipp Zanuff-ness from Mike. Haven't played yet so maybe I'm wrong but I feel like I'm gonna killed the same way when I face guys who know what their doing.
also: Kohaku's kit is so cool it makes me wanna play setplay, even though I don't have the brain for that
Cool to see you're a Hellsing fan
Loved hellsing to death, especially father anderson.
Top tier.
Homie I have been waiting for a vid like this I can't wait to cop this game
when i get the game i cant wait to pick up Kouma again, he looks cool.
I love the way you describe everything lol
26:00 to all my Nappas, JackOs, MK11 Jokers. honestly the most fun ive had in a day 1 character ever. ive never had more fun just knocking a character down or being fullscreen with meter
Ah splended message... You led me too an exempliary timestamp...
: )
I was watching a video of people fight and I saw a punching cactus. This game might just be a must-play for me now lol
You forgot Faust
Appreciate it a ton for explaining some of the built in mechanics some of these characters have.

lol fater Anderson part got me good
"Helloooo and Welcomee!"
My husband: MORE fighting game videos? Is it JUST HIM?
He's on to you! 😂
26:00
"Kohaku, she's the silly one"
People who have read Tsukihime: yeah... "silly"...
in the remake none of that goes down so kohaku is just a crazy person now
Kohaku being utterly derranged is perfectly believable with her animations. Just stay clear from the basement when she's around, she may feed you to everyone's favorite siscon
@@Rooflemonger Well, the far side routes haven't been released yet so we don't really know, but I do think those aspects will be toned down
This game looks wild! I’ve been missing a lot of fighting games since I’m on Xbox. I might have to check this one out.
Thanks as always!
Commendable Helsing reference, sir.
Love the gameplay want more guess characters
All I ask from a fighting game is either a hot swordie, a fun zoner/trap character, and/or a cute character that allows me to unga bunga
Knowing myself, I'm probably gonna be a Ciel main in Type Lumina. Despite her inputs being a little different from an actual Shoto, she seems the most Shoto-like.
I did not have my eye on her initially, but as a Ky main in Strive, I'm now trying to decide between Ciel and Red Arcueid.
@@HWHY why not both? This game wants you to learn the engine more than specific characters, and you can do the same bnb between ciel and warc in scramble situations
Kouma is a beast, definitely my favorite.
Nothing is better than just ignoring the whole shield war with your armored grabs
