Nico streams end every 30 minutes. The new Nico URL will probably come up soon. Unless I missed something and it really did end.
This really is what turned me off of Melty Blood- the backgrounds to me looked as bad as say, Ranma 1/2 Hard Battle. That and the whole overemphasis on lolis and combos most dojin games have.
Also feels like Engrish for the sake of Engrish, doesn't have SNK's SamSho2-esque charm.
I can forgive Doujin games for lifeless backgrounds; I'm sure they'd make some BG stuff, if fighter fans were satisfied with 8 characters to start with, but, well... that's not how things have been, for a LONG while.
Wouldn't mind seeing such things added in for home ports, though. Assuming success in the arcades, first off. I'd be perfectly fine with normal "Arcade modes" in home fighters, in exchange for a character or 2 + improved backgrounds, in many cases.
Would be nice if everyone could get away with the kinda stuff P4 Arena pulls off, though. Silhouettes and effects like glowing eyes and turning pages! With some more dynamic stuff in the BG, and the occassional thing like a reflective water patch on the floor or something.
Aquapazza still impressed me in this respect, it's BGs were more like some SNES era wackiness.
Anywho, I'd love to see some of the stuff of this game, but the lack of a nico account will leave me awaiting a youtube upload or something...

Merci! Time to kill each other, because it's ok in "verses"! Or something to that effect.
On the other hand, I think ASW (especially now-a-days) sometimes borders on the other extreme: far too busy backdrops. That, along with their oft-superfluous HUDs, can make a mess of things. After all, the two people who are actually FIGHTING should still be the centerpiece of the action, right? :lol
I do hope French Bread can get more money so that they can start investing in materials that will allow them to have something better than BGs that look like early-2000s CG. But not at the cost of them sacrificing their sprite animation quality.
It's day one.
UNIB day 2 is FAR more tolerable than P4U day 2, in my opinion. I couldn't stand watching P4U for few weeks after it released. Day 2 for UNIB is so much better than day 1 that I can't understand how they got so good, considering the apparent lack of UNIB boards in arcades.
Edit: I'm not saying that they're all amazing now or anything, but I'm still impressed considering that it's day 2 and UNIB probably wouldn't get nearly the same amount of boards as a bigger game.
Also, I personally don't really care about stages so that's not a big deal to me. I just choose Training Mode or the airport stage on SF4 all the time because they're bright and everything is easy to see.

Persona 4 Arena wasn't like this!

Question is: will this be released in NA?
P4U was awful day 1. At least people have 3-4k combos and resets day 1 in UNIB. P4U day 1 was just autocombos into neutral all day. People didn't even have oki or much meaty pressure because of P4U's wakeup speed.

I always thought that was a stylistic approach. Always felt they had a certain mood or atmosphere by being these empty battle grounds in combination with their soundtrack
I personally prefer it to overly busy ones like KoF13 and Blazblue. I mean in KoF you have stages so visually distracting that no one plays on them.
This game doesn't have instant kills everyone falls victim to day 1
or mitsuru
It may very well be. But I always did think it was weird how even the more "fantastical" backdrops like the "Great Cats Village" in Melty was so devoid of life, even in spite of the bouncy music that embodied the characters they represent (re: the Necos).
What I would like to see is French Bread possibly go on to cite the likes of Last Blade and its sequel. I could think of few games that were able to set a mood better better than those two games, and that was definitely a series that focused on atmosphere, and didn't have hundreds of things going on in the backdrop all at once.

Mann, I had this big post I put together hyping up random elements of the game until my Laptop decided to crap out on me. Don't make posts in notepad, lesson learned.
So I suppose this is going to be this game's pre-release thread until more news on a console version comes out? Fair enough. Really this has to be my most anticipated fighter for 2013 (assuming it ever gets a confirmed console / PC release date). Was a huge fan of Melty Blood and transitioning into UNIB is getting me really excited.

The good matches definitely start at 24:35 with Orie v. Yuzu. Definitely the best demonstration of all the different gameplay mechanics in the game. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any footage I've found of the instant kills in this game.
Rundown of mechanics ~ http://mayonakamidnight.com/showthread.php?556-Under-Night-In-Birth-Gameplay-Primer
Some fancy names for what basically is Bursts (cant use in combo), Push block (need meter to activate), and more or less what stuff we've come to expect from these types of fighting games. The interesting stuff is how these aforementioned features interact with "Grind" which the link goes into more detail about.

Ahhh, I always miss these things! Unlike Twitch there's never an archive either. Fffuuuuu
I got bopped.
Hm. She didn't look too bad, given the fact he kinda kicked her butt.
I never got huge into Melty, strongly due to lack of availability... but I like what I've seen of this game. Strong pressure and mixup game, unique looking refloat combos, nice air options, a unique focus on huge range...
Most of the people I talk to about Melty off-hand seem to be intimidated by it's systems and precision, so a slowed down, but just as flashy looking version of it seems like it could have a wider appeal...

Orie v. Seth

Orie is so Mitsuru it's not even funny. She's a charge character with more or less a Persona she can throw out on screen and she has the nerve to have instant overhead -> super as well, good times ^^;
Loving the cancel setups Gordeau has after his command grab as well. The second vid in that set was some really good stuff. Still waiting on more Linne / Waldstein though~
... and still no footage seemingly of any of this games instant kills. Odd.

Weird that they can be used before the last round, despite the health restriction.
Kinda funny seeing characters get up from Fatality type moves though lol

Oops! Yup, that's what I get for assuming things off the bat. I'm going to try to save face and say I was thinking of Vatista ... yeah, let's go with that.
Lol, she is pretty similar though. She has Mitsuru's 5A, 2B, and a move that probably goes over lows/avoids throws like Mitsuru's 5B. Her droit can be ducked under though. Edit: Or maybe only the farther ones? I don't know. :<
Here's a stream archive that was found on Dustloop from GC Technopolis. Lots of Orie and Vatista.
There's some pretty good stuff in each video. Yuzuriha is definitely losing dominance as people get used to the game. Vatista's jump spinning move seems kinda dumb though, but we'll see if it's just unfamiliarity.
I see ponpo playing. *Jealous*

Yeah, its nice to see people becoming more accustom with ways to use the system effectively. I saw a couple moments in there where, near rounds end, a person would use "Chain Shift" (this game's Roman Cancel mechanic) just in a neutral state in order to convert all their grind (central gauge, GRD) to meter. Going into the next round one's grind always starts at 0 but the meter is retained between rounds, really smart stuff.
