Melty Blood: Current Code |OT| So that's where those Saltybet characters came from!

Alright Melty players I got a lot of ground to cover. So far I've played Ciel and her triple sword chucking fun and Nero and his unspellable name loving deer tossing greatness.
Who should I play as next?
Neco Arc

Shiki Ryougi, of course. Then the Maids, 'cause that shit is hilariously OP.

Hmmmmm...okay well Neco Arc Chaos ooks a lot like Nero's stuff from vids and Neco Arc resembles other folks so I'll take on Shiki Ryougi for a bit before touching on one of the joke characters.

That's great to hear.
edit: Should this support a 360 TE fightstick? I can't get it to work.

This is great
That's wonderful! Guess I need to work on my Miyako.
On a side note I always felt it was a missed opportunity that we never got SHIKI.
I don't think so. I had to switch Xinput off on my TE2 to get my stick to work.

There was a bit of a controversy with some random changes found between the original PC release and the Steam release... and it turns out that the Steam release may actually be correct??? I'm now kind of ashamed that I never picked up on that (but, in my defense, no one else did either).
I never would have predicted ArcSys to actually agree to doing that in a million years. What the crap.

The Steam version has native XInput support. I actually have to put my PS360+ stick in X360 mode for it to work properly, as the game handles the board really weirdly in DInput mode (it somehow ended up double-binding my E and Pause buttons... not fun).
Complete garbage, but an upgrade that'll make cross-country connections feel like local play is coming.

strange, it wasnt working with my 360 stick at all. switched to my PS3 VSHG and it works fine.
i'm sure everything will correct itself on reboot lol
I didn't really expect anything of substance to come out of this but I am so glad to be proven wrong.
The ArcSys team responsible for their recent Steam efforts has done really commendable work so far though. Shini is very active in the game's forums and replies to a lot of questions and the games get supported through patches for a long time after release. They even patched up the former mess that was the DotEmu Battle Fantasia port so that the steam version of that game is now a good version of that game.

Super excited for rollback. And apparently the differences were corrections? lol, glad to hear that after a patch or two that this will be the definitive version. It's a fantastic game.

Holy shit! So you're telling me that I won't have any excuses for getting bodied now? KappaMadScientist tweeted that Melty steam is getting rollback integration
360 TE1? That's what I'm using to play the game. Heck, I just got done playing the game with it.
ArcSys are becoming more open minded, perhaps?

People are still genuinely surprised that Xrd Sign came to Steam before Revelator came out. This is just some next level craziness lol
Oh wow, Melty's getting rollback netplay? That's amazing. I can't wait.
The current netplay implementation is... well, pretty bad, for a game like Melty anyway. It might work better on a slower paced game. But when you try to tk Ribbons into a BnB and you find yourself whiffing because of the delay buffer, all that's left is suffering.

What about the translation?
It's not perfect - actually there are a bunch of typos and the translations are somewhat blunt and ignore lines sometimes (Like, you'll hear a character monologue for like 10~20 seconds and there's only "It's fine." in the dialogue box). Akiha, Warachia and Sion's names sometimes aren't consistent with the script either.
But it's not entirely inaccurate or anything. It could be much worse. Hopefully they'll patch it or something in the future.
I caught another mistake in Len arcade mode.
It had words being repeated in a sentence. Some occasional weird sentences or grammar. Otherwise it's readable

Is there a chance that Boss Rush mode from PS2 could be officially re-implemented? (Using those leftover assets everyone says is still in the game)
Everyone needs to fight Giant Akiha once.

I'm pretty sure G-Akiha was NOT in Actress Again to begin with in any version. You're probably thinking of Re-Act.
Edit: Oh. Nevermind. She did make a comeback in the PS2 release.
She at least appears if you do a boss rush with Tohno on ps2 mbaa, there are even some funny dialogue before.
Edit: No, everyone in the game can fight her.

The whole point of Boss Rush on PS2 was to bring back bosses from the previous versions.

That's great news about the netcode. I'll definitely pick this up when they get rollback in!

Man, I just remembered the one thing I miss the most from the previous revisions:
Memories of Once, one of the original end credits themes.
The new ones aren't on the same level.

MB will have the best netcode of any ASW game and it'll be glorious.

C-Satsuki is so damn tough to use lol. Just gonna stick with half-moon for now. I can actually pull off the combos and I like her anti-air super to air-combo a lot, even if I really like the command grabs from crescent more.

Dunking feels so good. Just as good as hitting people with Hugo's backbreaker.

Thinking on maining C-PCiel, thoughts?
Imo she's not new player friendly at all but all of her combos do 5k+ and her pressure is super good in the corner. No one else moves like her in neutral (garbage back dashes, air movement, and dash startup) so you also won't necessarily be able to transfer what you learn to other characters if you want to play someone else later.

So, how tough is this to get in to for someone who's really only played Smash? Figure I could use a real-er fighting game for once, and I suppose I could use an entry into Type-Moon stuff.
Also how's the XInput support? I'd rather not use my keyboard.

Well, Melty has smash style dodges so you'll be right at home!
For real though, I don't play enough smash to know what it's execution barrier is, but Melty's barrier of execution is much smaller than I thought it'd be. Combos are still tough to hit consistently, but I find it easier to hit then something like SF4 due to the easier motions and looser links. Just watch some guides and high level play and hit the training room and you'll be able to get the general idea of it fairly quickly.
As for XInput support, can't really say since I use a PS3/4 TE2 and just switch it to PS3 while I play, but I hear it works for others.

Questions:
* Why is Nanaya Shiki so based?
* Is there a moon BEST for Rushdown and any Rekka characters?
* Why the OST so good?
