I also love virtua fighter but I would love it more if people in my region and rank range played anyone other than lei-fei or shun di, I swear 90% of my games are against those two gimmicky rear end characters

I like this advice, I messed around with taka briefly and might go back to him to supplement my jacky and kage when I get stuck constantly matching against Lei and shun

Why is the design for every character in Melty Blood "regular person"?

Captain Baal posted:

they are from a visual novel where they are supposed to look like normal rear end people hiding magical bullshit
Yeah IIRC it's urban fantasy where everyone is hiding some bullshit magical power or they're a vampire or whatever, it's like a Japanese version of City of Bones/Shadowhunters meets Vampire the Masquerade.

Which means you do get some VAMPIRE REVEALING THEIR TRUE FORM characters and they look like some 15th century count or something, but they're a minority.

Also a whole bunch of THIS CHARACTER but as a ROBOT or CAT or CAT ROBOT because it's an anime fighting game.

Tohno Shiki is.... not polite.
My favorite thing about Shiki in Melty Blood is that he looks like some normal rear end high school kid but his whole thing is just STABBING his opponents with a HUGE KNIFE that he pulls out, just stabbity stab stab boy. And then there's an EVIL TWIN of him who is even more evil and stabby I guess? I dunno, but it's an excuse for another character variant. And then there's Shiki but a girl, who also STABBITY STAB STABS people, and she has the best outfit in the game.

melty blood is everything about the first character but in the visual design of the second
I think Guilty Gear having just released kinda throws off what people consider "normal" looking characters.

And she's not even from Tsukihime or related to the other two Shikis at all beyond also having crazy magic eyes that let them see lines that kill things when cut!

And we still don't know if the Shikis can kill a servant?!

We do. If you take FATE Extra or GO into account, Ryogi Shiki can absolutely murder Servants with ease.

As for the designs, you can chalk it up to the fairly early art direction for Tsukihime along with the story being around this very small group of people. You don't even see Roa in the original Tsukihime. You don't really get into the weirder characters until you get to the 'sequel' Kogetsu Tohya, and you get characters like Kung-Fu girl Miyako, muscle maniac Kishima or Magical Amber Kohaku. And the games had characters like Wallachia, Sion and Riesbyfe that really played into Takeuchi's later design aesthetic.

the thing about metly blood people miss is that the villain of it, wallachia, can create illusions based on people's thoughts, memories, and fears. so eviller stabbier shiki exists cause shiki worries about what if gets too stabby. this is the same handwave for all the joke characters like mech hisui and the neco-arcs. they dont actually exist.

This looks like longer hair to me so either Athena or Kula, but Athena would likely have some sort of outline of a hair band or something, so I'm going Kula for this one.

I note we still don't know the third member of the Women's Team, or even if there is one.

Exploration is ill-advised.
There ever gonna be a River City fighting game? Feels like a franchise that's a natural fit for one, though I might be thinking of Final Fight being basically rolled into Street Fighter.

Also had a weird dream about River City Girls 2 featuring the characters as adults. Perhaps stereotypically but predictably, both the protagonists are single moms.

You know what game mechanic should be used in more fighting games?

Touhou 15.5 is an airdasher fighting game where you can jump up and also jump down, below the "ground", which creates some very interesting gameplay.

You misunderstood what I meant.
When you jump you fall toward the middle. So when you jump up, you fall down but when you jump down you fall up into the neutral position again.

It's Kunio-kun, there's like 50 games in that series and almost every one of em looks like that.

There was a traditional Double Dragon fighting game for Neogeo/Playstation, that's as close as it gets.

I know but I wish Kunio Kun spinoffs didn't have to be locked into that style like 30 years later.

Also yeah Double Dragon V is based on the bullshit cartoon and is absolute trash but the Neo Geo one is based on the bullshit movie but is kinda good.

It is funny how Kunio-Kun has so many spinoffs that were translated by American companies apparently entirely unaware that they were part of the same franchise. And then River City Girls has a bunch of in-jokes about it.

The only Kunio-kun game I played as a kid was Nintendo World Cup, it was a pack-in at some point (as a SMB/Tetris/Nintendo World Cup 3-in-1 cart) so it was super common around here

It owns, if you slide tackle players enough they don't get back up anymore for the rest of the half

There's a reason the airborne Touhou fighters have no scene and IaMP/Soku still do despite the airborne ones looking extremely nice and being newer.
