Where is the Melty Blood love?

I was at an Anime convention a month or two ago and was introduced to Melty Blood.

Melty Blood, The Wiki entry

Melty Blood is a fast paced PC / PS2 2d fighting game that looks like an anime series, actually I think it's based on one.
Based on the anime Lunar Legend Tsukihime Melty Blood ReAct is a one on one fighting game unlike any you have seen so far. With a deep combo system and over the top super moves you will be finding new ways to pound your opponent into the ground for months

It's gone though a whole bunch of versions and it's pretty big in the hardcore Japanese fighting market.

There is all sort of gameplay depth to the game, none of which I have figured out, I pretty much just button mash and hope something happens. Playing against other opponents I am usually completely destroyed in a whirlwind of special moves and crazy combos. Speaking of which..


All sorts of combo videos out there.

It's good stuff, the Japanese version of the game has such a big following that they even have a translation patch out there for anyone who wants to import the PC version.

There is a demo available by going to this page. I think if you click on the bottom link (which says something something download in hiragana <if you can read the Kanji please let me know so I can update this>) you can get yourself a Windows version of the game in a demo form.

    There's a lot of Melty blood love in G&T. I'd say 6 threads in the past 2 years.

    I'm surprised Aurdoc hasn't posted yet.

    You, sir, are a liar. You know jack shit about it.

    Don't argue with me, my investigative skills are legendary.

    There's an Act Cadenza thread about... 6 or so pages back. It really is underloved.

    Leaving off the last post of that thread, I've gone back to using Ciel. Aoko just doesn't feel right, whereas I can still kick ass and take names with Ciel. Maybe a future patch will improve her, but for now she's relegated to the same position as Sion - wonderful character, but awkward fighting style. I do so hope a netplay patch comes out soon for AC as well.

    edit: I would also think that Melty Blood's based off the Tsukihime game itself, not the anime that was made afterwards.

    edit 2: Huh, the page linked in the OP has a notice about an offer of replacement for damaged Limited Edition cases. Anyone know the details of the damage? I've got the LE, but the only damage I can see is a slight creasing alongside the side of the box.

    edit 3: The page in the OP only links to the patch and damage notice. Here's the link to the demo.

    This game is absolutely fantastic. The characters are pretty cloned up - but the gameplay is damn near perfect...

    I played against a bunch of people in a few arcades in Akihabara - you can pull some CRAZY shit when you really start to figure out the game. It's very impressive for such a small group of guys to put together in the shadow of Capcom and Sammy.
