Kind of hard to call it incredibly deep new system when the game itself is rather shallow in the first place. Don’t expect much out of this one.

Spencer, it’s actually quite simple what each “style” does.

In every MB game, there are three attack buttons; weak, medium, and strong. Pressing down – forward – strong will unleash a character’s special attack, for example. (Naturally, there are many more variations…) However, by inputting the same command albeit using a weak or medium attack, it’ll unleash a similar, but far weaker “pseudo-special.” This almost-specials, you could say, are key in stringing combos together and juggling enemies.

The “style changes”, apparently all they do is swap a character’s specials. As such, the lower-based attacks are influence, and fighting and combo styles drastically influenced.

It’s a simple swap, yet incredibly deep.

I havenÂ´t played the PS2 one much yet, but I liked it. IÂ´m definitely interested in this one, as well as with other japanese fighting games coming (great year for these…). IÂ´m becoming a fan of Type-MoonÂ´s designs as well… I need to see Fate/Stay Night whenever I can.

I’m really looking foreward to this title. They should go ahead and make this Melty Blood 2, it has all new art work and a system that completely changes gameplay.

Other than the new characters the spirits are the same, but overall it feels like a sequal to me.

They are taking a Street Fighter Alpha 3 approach, neat! I still Haven’t played any of the games in the series. I Do plan on checking it out at some point though.
