Melty Blood/Advanced Mechanics

Damage calculations

The damage modifier system works much like MBAC. Each character has a set life total of 11400, but take different amounts of damage at different points of their life bars. Another thing to note is that there is a Stance Modifier that changes the Damage modifier depending on if the character is in Stand, Crouch, or Jump state.

These are the values for the Stance Modifier

• Jump: x0.88
• Stand: x1.00
• Crouch: x1.08

These values modify the Damage Modifier during combos, as well. For example, if you combo them on the ground, then knock them in the air, they will get the Jump Stance modifier when they are in the air. Damage Modifier values are consistent across all moon styles for every character except Mech-Hisui, Nero, and Neco&Mech. For the team character Kohaku&Hisui, they each have their own Damage Modifiers. For more information, see this thread.

Individual attacks have their own Correction Value percentage which also scales damage.
With C and H moon, Reverse Beat Penalty directly acts as a cap on Correction Value. The maximum amount of penalty is 55%, which would cap an attack that has 90% Correction Value to 45%. This would scale the attack to do only half the usual damage.

• In combos the damage is scaled using the current lowest Correction Value of any move you have hit during the combo or Rebeat Penalty (whichever is lower), causing your attacks that would otherwise have higher percentage to do noticably less damage even without rebeats.

There is also a mechanic in Melty Blood called Critical Hit. It happens randomly on any hit and will multiply the damage dealt by 1.15x.

You can Reduce by pressing A, B, C or D in a 5 frame window as you get hit, this reduces incoming damage by 30%.

• The window for damage reducing is 3 frames from before you get hit to 1 frame after being hit, with 9 to 4 frames before being hit counting as failed reduce.

If you want to see all the Damage Modifiers for each state for each character, please see this chart.

These are the current Damage Modifier values in Standing state for MBAACC v1.07
If damage ends up becoming a decimal, it will always round down.

Character wakeup timing

Each character has their own animations for being knocked down and getting up. There's three types of these animations, and they each have their own duration: Being knocked down by a launcher, being knocked down by a sweep, and being knocked down by anything else. Launcher and sweep hits have one wakeup animation (generally, getting up from a prone position), while other knockdowns have a second wakeup animation (generally, getting up from a supine position.)

The following is a table of wakeup times per type and character, measured as the total duration from when you first touch the ground until you can act again.

Landing Recovery Rules

• Jumping with no action has no landing recovery
• An air normal as Crescent or Half Moon has 2 frames landing recovery, +1 blockable neutral frame
• Doing an air normal as Full Moon has only 1 blockable neutral frame
• Airdash landing recovery depends on the character and whether its cancelled into another move. If cancelled into a normal, recovery defaults to the norma's recovery.
