Melty Blood: Act Cadenza

must…play…this game!

to those who posted the cadenza match vids, thanks ALOT!

any chance there’ll b a pc version to this? (i need AOKO-sama~ :devil: )

how old is cadenza? is it still being beta-tested?

someone mentioned sheild counters were removed (thank gawd), how does sheilding work now. also i saw kohaku perform her crouch s. counter in one of the match vids but she didnt sheild. is this similar to ceil/arc/sion guard dash?

any sites/guides w/ frame data available (especially for throws and A’s)? just curious

for u arc players out there: whats a good non-ex b&b (3000-4000)w/ her in mbr09. im trying to covince a friend shes a decent char.

finaly, any aoko-sama lovers out there? where can i get info on her BG.

No PC version, no chance of it at all.

Act Cadenza was released 3/25, so it’s a month old?

Shield now relies on you to EX Shield things (shielding just before the attack)so that you can cancel shield into normals. Normal shielding won’t allow you to cancel into normals. I have no idea about Kohaku’s roll, maybe it was dodge (d+AB)?

No frame data is available afaik.

Arc has two main B&B’s I’ve seen.
Combo into 2c, 623b, 5a, air combo.
2abc, 4b, airdash j.C, air combo.

As for Aoko info, try Evospace’s website. http://www.geocities.com/max3075/top.htm

And other matches from

However, this site have HORRIBLE connection rate. I suggest you use FlashGet, and make it repeat connection like forever. It’ll take like 10-20 tries for one connection download.

Eh, don’t lose hope. No PC version but a very high chance of being released as console. (Probably PS2)

Anyway, I think Aoko is pretty weak in tiers… (She have all projectile specials, and in one match I’ve seen, she does that aireal downward projectile like 70% of the time for pressure… which doesn’t seems to be good in the first place) and is it just me or is regular Akiha and Len REALLY POPULAR choice for these japanese. Are they top tiers in this Act Cadenza or what?

Soo the pic on this tourney.

4 Nanaya
4 Akiha
4 Ciel
2 Warc
2 Satsuki
2 Kohaku
1 Neco Arc? (Is this char legal?!)
1 Arc
1 Tohno
1 Hisui
1 Sion
1 Len
1 Vamp Sion
1 Hisui&Kohaku
1 Aoko

Okay, according to this, Len isn’t popular… (But that one Len player did made 2nd place) but still… I’m seeing alot of Len matches…

I think it’s just that people wanted to use Ren to begin with, but couldn’t do so without auto-losing after 2.006 or so.

I doubt Aoko is low tier. It’s just players haven’t had the time to unleash her potential. Being one of the only characters with projectiles, she can be a force to be reckoned with. She also has good looking normals from one match I saw.

I’m really not surprised about all the Akiha users, but the lack of Kouma is surprising. What a funky tournament… they might as well have made it an MBR tournament.

its still new, that’s why. akiha hasn’t changed since like, her 2.000 incarnation outside of engine changes. she’s solid, has great mixups, and good bnbs. doesn’t surprise me that people are picking a character that is both popular and that they are comfortable with. kouma might be good, but looking at how long people have had a chance to play with him, i don’t think anyone wants to use him in a tourney, just because of lack of familiarity with his matchups. besides, he might look good now, but that means nothing in the end. all it takes is one thing to make or break a character wide open. it’s happened many times before in mbr and caused massive tier shifts. give it some time, at least until people start to work out some of his potential, and we’ll probably see more of him around.

From the Carol tourney, using the following characters is an auto-lose:

Kohaku, Warc, Shiki, Aoko, Neko Arc, Arc.

The semi finals were almost 3 Akihas except that Ren beat one Akiha to make it in there. LOLZ Akiha is top tier.

ive been saying that akiha is higher than everyone else gives her credit for.

We’ve known for a while now in #meltyblood that Akiha is top tier or upper mid at worst.

And not one Warakia. Unreal.

Come to think of it, we’ve never seen Wara in any match video yet, have we?

Wara’s in the game?

Yeah, but you need to beat the game enough times and buy him out with some points.

There was a match vid with warakia at Yukinose’s site awhile back. He got beaten by Aoko if I remember correctly.

dont know if this is new info but a character called “white ren” is in it… basically len with some new moves.

yeah akiha gets lots of use, as does the girl who throws knives and the two maid girls.

White Ren was around in MBR, was basically a palette swap minus a few moves. Word was already out that she had a new moveset in MB:AC, though nothing was specified.

Okay, I didn’t bother to check the thread but anyone kind to list the players’ name from Yukinose’s site?

I’ll appreciate it.

Hmm… an update of the match vids. And this time, they got some famous GGXX#R players on there.

The one playing Ahika is obviously Yukinose. The one playing Ciel is Homura (Famous Axl player) and the one playing Arcueid is Kaqn (Famous #R Jam player. Used to play Baiken/Millia in GGXX.)

My kanji skills = 0

Warc player is Keita, Sion player is Suguru.

Btw, a not-so-stupid question : for what version of the Naomi hardware is Act Cadenza? I wanna know cause if it’s a Naomi 1 (who knows ^^), I’d be likely to get the game (well, me and a few of my friends since arcade is not cheap usually )
