Melty Blood is similar to many fast-paced newer fighting games from japan although it predates most of them. If you like games such as Guilty Gear or Arcana Heart you will probably enjoy it. If you find interest in the footsie side of capcom games such as SF4 and are intruiged by the prospect of an aerial-dominated, faster-paced footsie game, you may enjoy it. If you enjoy the VS series' lean towards aerial gameplay and combat, you may enjoy it. If you really like to jump, or like your fighting games to offer you a lot of movement options(kof), you will definitely enjoy it. MB features a lot of defensive "systems", including dodges, shielding (parrying), shield bunkers (similar to CD counters from kof), and Heat/Circuit Spark(Offensive Burst/Defensive Burst). These balance MB's extremely fast paced offensive game which involves the ability to create long, flowing blockstrings with difficult-to-see vulnerabilities, instant airdash offensives, and some almost "unfair" mixups. | |||

General
- What is Melty Blood Actress Again?
- Melty Blood Actress Again is the 5th major version of the originally doujin fighter Melty Blood. The series originated as a spinoff fighting game based on Type-Moon's Tsukihime series, as a fighting game/visual novel hybrid. Over the years, the focus on story has been lost in the series and the game mechanics reworked drastically as the game became more and more popular, eventually receiving a release in arcades as Act Cadenza in 2005. After several revisions, a sequel was released in Arcades in 2008, a new revision, Current Code, was release in 2010, and has reached a home port with the release of the v1.07 edition at the turn of 2012.
- What platform(s) is this game on?/Where can I get it?
The arcade version runs on Ringwide. The latest Current Code edition is available for Windows PC. Older, deprecated versions have been released on PC and Playstation 2 in the past.
