Melty Blood: Act Cadenza

Watched the vids. I approve of the changes made. Here’s what I noticed…

General: Circuit spark seems very useful. Crits are now displayed instead of red-flashed. There’s an assload of new stages. Not sure what this “Reverse Beat” thing is.

Kohaku: extended air combos with charged B sword off 2C 5C…

Warc: Seems mostly the same.

Hisui: Vase toss goes way the hell up now. Frying pan is jump cancellable. Still stupidly top tier.

Ren: EX ICE BACK TO OLD SPEED. Not only that, it hits for full 8 hits OTG. Has her shield bunker as a launcher normal now. Air EX ice nerfed?? Cats seem to stay out longer but are still generally useless. She also still has her teleport, which seems to be undocumented. Charged B ice goes upwards more, comes out faster, and isn’t just A and B put together now.

Satsuki: EX grab loses range, but it still goes far. Still no air combos.

V. Sion: Decent play, but nothing really new.

Kouma: Rekkas, hyper-armor fire stomp anti-air, anti-air kick super, air rekkas that groundslam for invalid relaunches that are tech punishable… mean fucker.

Arcueid: Can still link 5A after 623B, but not sure if 2C 623B works anymore. 623C actually useful now. 62C throw actually slams on the ground now like in MB.

It looks like they’re meshing together some of the more popular move properties from MB and ReACT in AC, like Arc’s old 62C throw, Ren’s pre-2.007 EX Ice, Nero’s MB EX Crows, and so on.

This same thread points to several game changes. Read.

I’m still curious as to how useful the dodge is… I’ve only seen it used in the pre-Fight thing, but if you can do wakeup shields, wakeup dodges could have something going for them.

theres a mid boss/secret character in the game called neco… is she/it in the other games? she looks like the rocket that mech hisui sends up into the air on one of her moves…

Neco-Arc’s a hidden character who shows up in the Hisui, Kohaku, HisuKoha, and Mech-Hisui storylines. She’s in MBR, but not usable at all without the hack.

You’re thinking Ren’s Neco-Arc throw, btw, not Mech-Hisui’s, unless they gave Mech-Hisui a new move.

Info from Evospace:

Just for your info, there was a big tournament at the Club SEGA Arcade in Akihabara.

http://multi.nadenade.com/shinichi/archives/game/index.html

109 participants o_O
Winner was Nero Chaos, 2nd place Akiha, then Ciel & Evil Arcueid.

Characters of the top 16 contestants were:

Nero 3
Akiha 3
Shiki Tohno 2
Sacchin 2
Vampire Sion 1
Ciel 1
Hisui & Kohaku 1
Arcueid 1
Evil Arcueid 1
Kishima 1

The top tier characters seem to be obvious, but it’s good to see a variety of characters still doing well.

edit: Another tournament in Saitama, 40 people (as opposed to 52 people of GGXX#R)

1st place: Evil Arcueid, 2nd place: Ren

with match videos!

There was supposedly another tournament in Shinjyuku with 69 people. It just feels good to know that the game’s doing pretty well according to the numbers.

I’m saying it RIGHT NOW, if this game comes over here I’m going to hold the top damn spot for it, and I swear it with every fiber of my greedy little blue pleated skirted death apostle school girl loving ass.

I’ll keep you updated on my going-to-Evo status, pending my audition and job and stuff.

i dont know how the numbers in arcadia will pan out but i can tell you this the game is super popular in the arcades i visit. its so popular in monte carlo its impossible to get time against the computer even at 11:30 at night…

@bellreisa, yep not mech hisui but ren :slight_smile:

I’m heading to Evo this year. I wanna hit up the ReAct dudes and get in a few games. Holla.

PS. No Satsuki in the top 16?! That makes me a sad panda.

Sacchin = Satsuki.

Two folks played her.

:slight_smile:

I wonder how much it would cost to get a cabinet imported.

I’m Estimating about…5 grand+ lets see…it cost us…10 grand to import the vf4 sitdown cabs at cf(we dont have them anymore dont go looking) sam wont get it so dont ask…but…yeah

I’m going to start practicing with stick on that SLIM chance that it ends up at 8otB or CTF.

And the guy just got a new CvS2 board in, and TWO Tekken cabinets. Come on now.

;p

I quote sam on this

“The second tekken board was an accident but since its making money im going to keep it i dont intend to buy ANY new games for a while” …sorry man i but so much influence now that i dont work there -shrugs-

Damn.

And I know MBR would make money too. People would stop playing MvC2 and CvS2 for that shit.

sigh

thats absolutely true i know most people would drop cvs2(which just came back this friday night anyway) as for mvc2 i dunno but i hope so…oh i forgot chibi i was the missing person last sunday or was it 2 sundays ago…for the mbr meet i was supposed to be with zar duck and aris no one came to wake me up so i woke up at 1 pm and went to brooklyn heh i still wanna play you guys maybe you can bring your laptop to cf and we play at subways this weekend? maybe even put some money on it?

Not sure about this weekend, I have a few things keeping me booked, but I’m trying to get another meet going with the same folks, it was really fun showing everyone what Satsuki could do, haha.

Give me like another week and I’ll get back to you. And yeah, you can put money on that.

It’s comforting to know that there IS a EC MBR scene, you guys should talk up more, I thought I was all alone with Zaelar.

edit: Ask your friends what they thought of my Satsuki though, I’m curious ^_^.

;D

we should but we wont <— hardcore lurker ive been here a year longer than you but i have…exactly 0.0001 of the posts you have ha im on aim alot tho

Ah woop, check my edit.
