So Melty Blood Type Lumina, the latest entry in the melty franchise comes out later this month so I figured why not start learning about it! Melty has always been a blind spot for me so its time to rectify that and learn about the game and all its background. In turn naturally, lemme tell you what I learned! I am always excited for new fighting games and a new Melty finally gives me the excuse to finally dive in to this franchise. If you are up for the journey I will be learning along with you!

"There's a lot of play styles, you can play rushdown or cats." Hm.

Loves lore in fighting games* yes Roofle come to the dark side. Learn about Tsukihime. Learn about the Nasuverse. Fall down the rabbit hole

I played Melty Blood for about an hour or so with some friends once. I remember picking a goofy maid character with broom mixups and plant oki and I have no idea what her name even is and she's one of my favorite fighting game characters ever. All I remember is getting hella drunk and laughing at everything in this franchise. It's all so over the top I love it

"I'm sure you know one of your friends hopelessly addicted to fateGO" Well of course i know him. He's me.

Easy, blood that melts. But in all seriousness, the game looks great

That special eyes gif was priceless. LOL And Under-Night InBirth, another French Bread game, also uses reverse beat.

2:51 Adult is definitely a better term than eroge visual novel, since the sex scenes are a very small part of the story. For anyone who wants to get in the story of Tsukihime without having to read the whole VN, just read the manga. It covers only half of the old VN story, but it's very good.

Type Lumina looks great, and MBAACC is probably one of the most underrated gems in the FGC

"I like fighting nuns" >Roberta instantly comes to mind

Melty video? I can't believe rooflemonger dropped Strive for Melty smh my head

Melty looks absolutely fantastic. I recommend reading the Visual Novel to anyone who enjoys reading and stories, it increased my hype tenfold!

there is a manga adaptation that you can read of tsukihime its worth checking out to get the gist of the story and there is also a melty blood manga adaptation its a sequel that takes place one year after the events of tsukihime

We've had Guilty Gear for the over the top oddjobs, now Melty Blood brings the students/maids along, the duality of anime is about to be restored in the fighting game genre.

I’ve been wanting to learn more about melty blood. Thanks for covering it! Love all your lore videos!

ive been waiting for this video as soon as I saw how sick the gameplay looked on their lastest reveal! Thanks for the content as always dude!

Been hoping to see a video like this, thanks roofle

and then there's the cats... Yes and they are great.

The real question is how does blood melt when it's already a liquid lol

Since we have time to talk about Tsukihime, why we don't have some time to talk about Kagetsu Tohya since several of the character in Melty blood actually come from that one. If i am not remembering it wrong, Kouma, Miyako, Kohaku's Mr. Chin and Magical Amber, Hisui Brain washing Detective, Nanaya Shiki, and especially Len is debut on that one. Also if I remembering correctly, Kagetsu Tohya is joined project between TM and French Bread. There are reasons why the heorine is named LEN.

Nice video- it covers a large variety of stuff

I'm very happy about the game coming up, I would like to see Golden Fantasia coming back too ! ❤️

Appreciate the Video, I love the FATE Verse I pre ordered and can not wait to play 🙌 🥳

Thank you for covering this for all the plebs.

Finally an actual video that makes us care about the game

Moon vampires, wizards, nuns, maids, and some guy with glasses duking it out what's so hard to understand

"I'm sure you know one of your friends hopelessly addicted to fateGO" Bold of you to assume that I have friends.

I'm hyped for it! It'll be great fun!

Neco arc is everywhere

Ah, to not be enough of a weeb to know about this franchise, but definitely enough to know people addicted to the goddamn Fate gacha

I needed this video badly I’m new to the series

rooflemonger cool melty blood introduction likewise in the same boat as you. been reading all the bios of each character that type-moon has been releasing. i been reading type-moon wiki. melty blood type lumnia is going to be my first melty blood game in the entire melty blood series. already pre ordered melty blood type lumnia digital deluxe edition via playstation store. the playstation store says september 29TH which is one day early/earlier than september 30TH launch date.

Melty Blood seems kind of interesting to look at! I'll have to think about whether or not I wanna join in! I'm not sure whom I'd like to play yet, but I guess I'd like to try one of the maids. 🤔

Looks fun!

Already pre-ordered this game on Xbox, hoping to keep people playing that version, we've been starved from anime games for so long I can't let this one go unnoticed

Its been confirmed just very recently the visual novel is coming to english next year

The funny thing is I've heard of the series but never got into it until now. I'm willing to give it a shot since I'm all for fighting games

Informative. Thx

I must be one of the ten people on the planet that heard and read the Tsukihime visual novel YEARS and YEARS ago, far before it even became niche with Carnival Phantasm

Thank you

MBAC was the first fighting game where I had to learn how to play semi-properly so I wouldn't embarrass myself against internet strangers, thanks to its fanmade netcode. Also DBFZ was so comfortable to me because, team battles aside, the gameplay felt very familiar. I expect anyone coming to Type Lumina from FighterZ should have a similar experience I'm so happy to be home again

Never knew it was a game series, I remember the manga forever ago.

Melty Blood for me was the first fighting game I got to play online, Act Cadenza on a hachimachi caster on my lame ass HP Mini netbook. I knew nothing about fighting games then, it was just cool playing games with my Facebook friends at the time. I'm really excited to see how different I'm gonna see this game with the little experience I have now 😂

New vid lets go

Melty blood implies the existence of.... Frozen blood? So Icy Scabs?

Everyone keeps asking "What is Melty Blood?" But no-one is asking, "How is Melty Blood?"

This game reminds me of playing Ranma 1/2 on the SNES back in the day. I had no idea what was going on but it was awesome.

As a fan of guilty gear, when I discovered melty blood it was love at first gameplay!

no idea what's going on in this game but at the very least it looks hype as hell as a spectator game

The game looks great, but it looks very daunting to get in. It feels like if you don't do a 10+ hit combo you don't do damage since individual hits are so puny

I hope there will be players, and blood.

Thanks for the info. I'd did a commission for Novril's channel of a chibi MB scene, but never knew anything about the game. Good to know this is a prequel, and how it works. When I saw characters w/crosses, I was curious if it was Christianity. Seems it's 'the Church'. Solid vid.

Thanks for the melty content Roofie, very cool

Thanks

:) you're my favorite fgc youtuber!

I loved playing it at the arcade. It was great. Even the cabinet was awesome. It was just in Japanese and I had no idea what anything said.

im only here cause i keep getting videos of neco arc in my recommends

Legit hope to hear more "go out and play some melty blood"

It's always cool to see more Melty Blood content on youtube. Hopefully the smaller size of the player pool for this game compared to other fighting games doesn't stop people from playing it in the long run. Comparing it to my current favorite fighting game "BlazBlue Central Fiction", Personally, I'd be totally fine if Arc System Works just added rollback to BBCF, instead of making a brand new game, since I already love the mechanics in this current installment, and don't know how drastically they'll change the system mechanics in the new game, which could potentially result in a change I might hate, or feel like it doesn't fit in BlazBlue. I say all this because this feeling ALREADY happened to me before with BOTH Guilty Gear Strive, and BBTAG . Yes, I'm aware that both of the games I just mentioned have depth in some shape or form, but it's also undeniable that currently both of those games are also so DRASTICALLY different from their previous installments that I wouldn't blame MANY fans of either series for not sticking with them, since I know I didn't. Some may argue that if they put rollback in BBCF, it will attract less people compared to a brand new game because it's old, BUT SO WHAT? Why should a game being old have to do with your love of it. Personally, if you needed the game to have updates, or needed hundreds of people to continue playing the game and stay engage, then to me you WEREN'T really willing to rock with the game in the first place. Heck, I'd rather play the same five people in BBCF, than play a few hundred people in BBTAG . WHY? Because I LOVE the game for the system mechanics in the former and HATE the system mechanics in the latter. The only justifiable reason I can understand a fan of BBCF not playing it fully, is due to lack of rollback, since it's mad frustrating to put hundreds of hours into training mode, only for half the stuff you practiced not working online. This is the main reason why I'm settling with Melty Blood Type Lumina, since it has rollback, and the mechanics are something that I've found to be interesting, and I really don't care that the new Melty Blood will most likely have only a few hundred players compared to Strive's thousands in the long run, since I KNOW I'm going to enjoy the game with that small batch of people. Just my two cents.

The new one looks sick never heard of this series

I appreciate the fact type lumina didn’t even give a hint about the lore of what the fuck is going on

The only thing I knew about melty blood before this was the hitboxes are for insane people

I looked this up because my son is obsessed with this game. I know I do not want him playing these kind of games. However, I appreciate the thoroughness of your explanation and clearness of your voice. Great job!

Learning Type Moon Lore: HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!! Good luck, its a losing battle unless you KNOW KNOW. HAHAHAHHAAHHAH!

I needed this one. All I know about this game is majin Obama is the goat

I am so hype for melty blood!!!

Dragonball FighterZ surprisingly inherits a lot from Melty. Rebeats, air drift, and lots of arial neutral.

I suck at fighting games, I only played Strive recently but this definitely looks nice, maybe I'll give it a try too since I liked Strive so much.

It's about one of the best fighting games ever (the best depending on the person's playstyle in other games)

Your voice sounds like you could be a fighting game announcer

The original Tsukihime visual novel was wild, and saying it's and adult game is definitely accurate, since in the original game the player had the option to pick between five routes with each girl being the focus of the route, and where those routes go is pretty dark. For instance, I'll never forget the scene where Shiki rapes Arcueid in her route, and it's shown in great detail, this was done by showing Shiki pinning her down and forcefully removing her clothes as he does the deed. Another example, is in a separate route with the player witnessing a similar scenario with Shiki's violent sexual encounter with Kohaku, which resulted in leaving the poor girl in tears. That being said, there is indeed story justification on why our protagonist does what he does, and I'll leave that for people interested in what I just presented to read the VN themselves to see what that justification is, but yeah, definitely not for the faint of heart. Still a very good read IMO, and I can see why so many people call this game a cult classic.

I’ve heard about this from the Neko Arc memes.

still hoping for my man nac to get in

Speaking of fighting nuns this game needs a bayonetta crossover too

I can see melty blood getting big.

Didn’t some of melty blood characters make an appearance in the under night in birth games?

I couldn't get anything in this 10 min video cause im stoopid. The game looks cool so ill just play it :)

I like how you pronounce blood

This mad man actually learned some of the lore lmao thanks

But why is the blood melty? Like, who froze it in the first place?

I never knew the makers of FATE also made this. Cool. I’ll give it some research and check out more lore.

What is the clip at 2:00 from? I didn’t see it in the remake op

Man, I still really want a Fate anime fighter. I haven't read Tsukihime (and with no NA release of the remake in sight, I probably won't anytime soon unless I get a fan translation of the original), so I've never been terribly interested in MB, but maybe if this does well they'll consider making fighting games out of Type Moon's other works!

What is indeed

I feel like the fact that a lot of the visually appealing characters and fan favorites like nero , sion , ries , wara , powered ciel , len , hime is kinda going to hurt the starting sells of melty hopefully there be dlc. I think for melty fans and tsukihime fans are very much hype for lumina, but casuals or other fg fans not so much because of the character designs or whatever else reason (and thats fair). The game not being marketed as much as strive will also kind hurt starting sells. I wish lumina good luck and i'm happy for all the videos recently made to show people the game.

Yo all you had to say was Fate franchise and I was sold. Always wanted a Fate fighting game. This is the closest I'll get.

The title is a bit ridiculous but it's Type-Moon. Ridiculous is part of their territory haha

Is meltyblood has storymode?

Maybe we can get Fate Crossover DLC Characters

Only hardcore fighting gamers would appreciate this

Technically Arcueid is not from the moon. She is kinda like a budget clone created by Earth from the strongest being of the moon (Brunestud of the Crimson Moon).

K I L L W I F E ! ! !

Just to clarify that Melty Blood had 5 main heroins: Arcueid (Vampire), Ciel (the nun), Akiha (the Ojousama which is also a vampire), Hisui (Younger maid), and Kohaku (wackass "funny" older sister maids), Yes, the maids are 2 of the official routes. Also, the variation system did MORE THAN just MK variation. The moon system even change your universal mechanic. For example, you can reverse beat in C-moon but in Full Moon, you only have regular Guilty Gear style of A>B>C gattling and no reverse beat. In return, your normals in Full moon have better frame data.

Question will there be more DLC in 2023 and 2024 for ps4

when you said you like fighting nuns i thought you meant you like to fight nuns instead of nuns that fight lmfaaooo

Can't wait to pop my Melty cherry

I love the fate series

Something about nuns and military girls in fighting games

A lot of VN had hentai elements because that was a key selling point for VN back in the day. The early 2000's were an era of dating sims and visual novels. It was not a rare thing. all my homies loved them.

About Shiki Tohno's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. He can see the lines of death on every object and every living thing, he can also see points of death. But he can't see death on thoughts and ideas. His mind is not capable to comprehend that. Shiki Ryougi from Kara No Kyoukai is the one who can do that and even destroy concepts. Everything depends on how the user of Mystic Eyes of Death Perception perceives death itself. Quote from wiki: "Shiki Tohno specializes in killing living things. Unlike Ryougi, he is not suited in the aspect of recognizing "concepts" because he was only "submerged in death". He can perceive the death of concrete physical existences, allowing him to kill people, animals, locks, walls, and even part of the planet itself in the form of killing "nature" in a specific area. He cannot see lines on things that are unable to be killed or destroyed in the current world because the standard for Shiki, as a human, is based on the limits of the people of his era."
