There where only versus boards on the beta. The Watanabe team seems to NOT be involved in the arcade version. The only difference seen esthetically is on the select screen, the rest is identical to the PC version. 10 characters, and enough space to add 4 more. The rythm is horrible, the game feels very slow. But if they correct that detail, it might end up a good game. Anyone feels like to go to 2ch to see if they talk a bit more of the game ?

18. The first Melty Blood had 16, though, once you unlock everyone.

I really hope this leads to a console release. Even if it still didn't have netplay, I would really like to play this multiplayer without having to hookup two gamepads and sit around a computer monitor.

Thanks.
You would assume they would go all-out on the arcade version... Oh well, i hope it gets a home port... with all the characters.

There is a thread in the forums of EvoSpace's page (http://www.geocities.com/max3075/top.htm) that has more pics and some more information. So far what EvoSpace posted is not very promising, but I think it is likely to change considering the game is early.

It's horrible. Melty Blood is still far from arcade-worthy! Graphics are good, but the system and characters still need work.
First would be to remove the always present but always changing instant death/infinite combos.
I still can't imagine Melty being in competitive play like EFZ though.

By and large this is true. Melty Blood in all its incarnations has always seemed to be in an endless beta to me.

I have to agree that EFZ is still a far better game, gameplay wise.

A fun beta.

True. Although if I had to pay money every time I wanted to play the game, and it's something that other people could challenge me at and make me lose my playing money to, I'd be very annoyed if the game was as broken as MB could be.

I've checked it out today. It plays pretty much identical to Melty-Blood Re-Act in its arcade mode, meaning that the characters actually go into monologue if you let the game start off in single player mode. Load time prior to the start of the match is non-existant (it can be canceled with the push of a button). The game goes into serious slowdown on some of the moves, like Nero's EX crow attack. Ren and Satsuki aren't selectable, but they might be in there when considering that the two chatacters are in the game's opening screen logo (some sites are reporting that they're not on the logo, so I'm guessing the game version'ed up between yesterday and today).
People were actually writing out on the opinion sheets for the beta testing, which is pretty amazing since they get ignored during most beta tests. Looks like everyone who was at the testing were Tsukihime fans.

In a few words: Melty Blood is a fighting game based on Tsukihime, a doujinshi visual novel that became quite popular in Japan.
For detailed info go here: http://www.geocities.com/max3075/top.htm The games and merchandizes section includes links. Other sections and the message board includes detailed info.

There's also the humor factor. I took the original to an Anime con and we played in a game room. All the girls thought Kouhaku was kawaii by the way she runs and those cat ears. Got a lot of attention.
Plus, its fun to scream "Vampire pWNAGE!"

Melty Blood is based on Tsukihime the doujinshi game, not Shingetsutan Tsukihime the anime.
Melty Blood was released before the anime. What came out after the anime was ReACT, which is an expansion of Melty Blood. Storyline-wise, Melty Blood is a sequel to the story of Tsukihime, while the anime is an ugly retelling of the original story of Tsukihime.
What I think really sucks is that the anime will be released in the U.S. without really explaining what Tsukihime originally is. I think this is going to create a lot of confusion. During the Tsukihime panel in Anime Expo, I was both surprised and dissapointed that a lot of people didn't know that Shingetsutan Tsukihime is based in a doujinshi hentai game.
