Tougeki scared of Evo, adds MBAA 2v2 to Category C games

I bet you Melty at Evo is the reason they added it.

Happy April Fool's

I have...no words.

MBAA AT EVOLUTION

Results are up! Note these are the RAW results, before filtering for fraudulent votes. Keep this note from Ponder in mind:

So while we're confident Melty is the winner, we really don't know who got 2nd.

And a bizarre alternate universe has happened where MBAA has appeared at Evolution before SBO.

NEC X in a nutshell

I sort of wanted to write a long post about NEC X but honestly Rithli does it better in this movie than I could ever do.
This is why I play these games, and probably, while I'll keep playing them.

MBAA Ryougi Shiki and Schoolgirl Akiha footage

WHY SO LOLI?


So yeah Ryougi looks plain and nice.
Schoolgirl Akiha looks like she deals 5000 damage off a BnB on someone at half life.
Aka broken as shit.
She stole Warc's blood rings too except they're like...midair!

MBAA PS2 Port announced

Old news but Famitsu announced it, said August 8 of 2009?
Ecole is doing it, but considering how much they fucked up AH2...
Then again MBAA is still running on Naomi hardware lol it should have no trouble.
Also Ryougi Shiki sighted as hidden character.

MBAA ver. A

Who is this character and why does she have this?

Melty Blood Actress Again Version A

Singles Play:
Street Fighter 4

2v2 Play:
Arcana Heart 2: Suggoi

3v3 Play:

This is also sort of an aside to old hat but, the SBO lineup was announced and MBAA was NO WHERE TO BE FOUND.
What was to be found was Tatsunoko vs Capcom and FATE/UNLIITED CODES.
Lot of sour grapes from a certain community I hail from, followed by EVERYONE and their mother trying to mash out in F/UC (including me.)
The joke of the game is that the Japanese call it Fate/UNco (shit) while USA calls it F/UC.
The game is acknowledged terrible, but it's a terrible that's in Super Battle Opera for now.

As for the MBAA Ver. A vids, they are on nico.
Maybe I'll rip them off who knows.

MBAA, more stupid shit

If you don't have a nico account, the sum of the fight is:
Kohaku on point with Hisui assist can call her in the air, it's plus frames, and it does no pushback.
Half moon Shiki can 6AAA THROUGH SOMEONE'S COLLISION BOX and cross up from the other side.
Both of these things are stupid.

Edit: Ken just pointed out something even worse lol.
The combo counter DOES NOT STOP even after Kohaku is knocked down in the third round when Shiki combos both twins.
It keeps counting and scaling until Hisui wakes up.

MBAA impressions

Played it.
Mad tired, quick post about what I saw.
ctohno, cvakiha, fakiha, faoko, haoko, cwarc, fwarc, hnero, ckohaku

ctohno's jC hitbox has been increased tremendously. Ken and I were getting hit by this shit all day, it was mind-numbingly stupefying. Apologies to nightwolf if we sound like haters, but we are!

cvakiha randomly scrubbed out ctohno. No clue how he pulled it off, just flying around.

fakiha has a fucking infinite off her yakuza 6b kick into flame pit. Zar got at most, 4 reps. Lots of held flame pits everywhere, shit is annoying.

faoko is sortta silly, finger shots and all, weird orb lasers, somersault is of course worse than flying i'm going to kick you, but rithli still won with it anyway.

haoko has all the broken nonsense you've seen, but it is quite hard to pull off, zar might have got the charge kick loop once and the ex orb projectile relaunch combo once in all the hours of play we had. I still took 3k off a fucking charged beam though to die.

cwarc feels very familiar. Advanced bnb is much easier to do, first jc hits like 100% of the time. Geass ring is AMAZING, shit is fast and goes full screen and is oh so good. Wish she had a normal small ring that did that :V Still couldn't quite fit 6c seamlessly into my game, I know she can do some great shit like 5b5a6c2c5c etc. now. j2c ender is extremely viable, but not sure what to do on landing, i wonder if i can air dash after it if i haven't used it yet.

fwarc is too fucking weird. jb is weird, 2b is some weird ass slide, 236 rekkas are huge plus frames, couldn't figure out her bnb

hnero is nero with a bee and more annoying. long island joe figured him out pretty quick, hoaaaaas all around PLUS A NORMAL DASH AHHHHHH. One bnb into max is sucks too :V

ckohaku is sortta crazy, a LOT of crossup hi low bullshit off knockdowns that is pretty hard to read. ken says 6c loop is much harder than it looks, he can't do it yet, just repeated 5b loop atm.

I'll have some pictures but honestly I've never used my cellphone camera before so it might be a bit before I figure out how to put them online.

MBAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[22:39] <Censei> melty blood at CF
[22:39] <@sumAzNdud> right now?
[22:39] <Censei> yah

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I will have to go down.
Have to.
Tomorrow?
I don't know, I just have to see the game.

First American MBAA Machine!...

[00:13] <fubarduck> So guess hwat guys
[00:13] <fubarduck> First MBAA in America . . . .
[00:13] <fubarduck> . . . is a dud :(
[00:14] <fubarduck> t/y for using old NAOMI carts for your brand new game, Ecole
[00:16] <fubarduck> either that or the EEProm they sent me is bad
[00:16] <fubarduck> either way big :(

Edit: Fubar is a huge liar and his MBAA is now working perfectly.
Support Arcade UFO if you live in Texas fruits!
None of that Project Zero nonsense.

Melty Blood: Silly Kicks

Seriously, it should be named Silly Kick edition.
Nanaya's got ballerina legs.
Tohno's got spinzaku.
Warc's got this weird mid soccer kick.
Ciel's got BREAKDANCING HANDSTAND kicks.

9000+ hours of MBAA footage

Joybox of course, uploading hours and hours of MBAA footage.
Half moon sounded like a gimpy ass groove but it's proven quite powerful, you can still rebeat, a lot of the new moves/normals are very good and that auto heat/burst isn't as terrible as one would think.
Regen is insanely fast.

One of many


Summary:
Half moon Sion and Half moon Akiha feel very strong.
Ries is boring as hell overall, but good normals makes her dangerous.
Warc looks fantastic, I can't wait to use her.
Nanaya has a clone ex DP in half moon that appears FULL SCREEN.
As in he can do it in response to Hisui pots and hit her in the back.
H Nanaya has really funny ballerina legs.

MBAA Riesbyfe's bad? ending.

Anyway, Osiris is Sion, or more like what a fully vampirized Sion would be.
Bad end!
Ries kills Sion!
BOOOOOOOO.

MBAA

Sega's put up some new matches on youtube.
Everyone seems to suck, it feels like they are CPUs, except maybe the Sion.
Lots of interesting things to see, including the fact that Roa is a crazy Blanka beast that throws lightning bolts.

Sion Full Moon vs Aoko Full Moon

Sion is cheating by playing seriously. Seems to do less damage (thank god). Aoko somehow got a flash kick and an magic arm sword, along with a real projectile.

Mecha Hisui Half Moon vs Vakiha Full Moon

Mecha has gradius ships and summons!?!? (They can be hit.) Dhalsim-like go-go gadget arms. Vakiha full gets 3 pits at once, a move that looks like Unknown's j2c from EFZ, aerial flame waves

Warcueid Half Moon vs Shiki Tohno Half Moon

Warc sounds less crazy, more cool arrogant. Has rings, has reppuken! Has...weird pose where she crosses her arms and her eyes glow (eye beams?) Her teleport is an attack now, CHed Tohno out of 2a, looks pretty cool. She looks pretty nice actually, the reppuken really helps full screen. Oh, and they kept j2c's charismatic sound effect. Shiki looks Shiki. "HAH. HAH. HAH" etc. Didn't see much from him.

White Len Half Moon vs ROA Half Moon

White Len's air dash seems better, she's stolen some of Len's normals. LOL at the invisibility nonsense. ROA looks like a beast. He looks like Blanka cept he chucks lightning bolts. And wait WTF HE HAS EX HALO/HIERO/7TH HEAVEN/FUCK THAT SUPER. Oh shit! Roa looks crazy yeah.

Satsuki Full vs Ciel Full

Satsuki voice more subdued (thank god) Very weird now, all those hopping grabs and what she has a kick? I don't know what to think she looks really weird and somewhat trickier. Ciel still has clash on dash like the bitch she is. El oh el at those boxing punches now. CH time on black key is LONG.
