What we or at least, you want to know is if it is Fun.
Melty Blood started out an arcade game but was ported to the PC and Playstation 2.
I've played the PC version of Melty Blood(every installment except for Actress Again which isn't even ported).
I am just gonna have to believe that you have read the previous post :Test-Play 1
If you haven't you may not understand what I'm talking about
What was my first impression...
The game was amazing, the characters aren't too unbalanced and provide different play-styles to all types of players.
I, for one like to play as Tohno Shiki and his alternate self Nanaya Shiki.
The fast but weak damage dealt chain together and the win feels that much more satisfying for me.
Pulling off an Arc Drive/Last Arc takes timing and a careful prediction off your opponent's next moves and hitting with one brings with it a stunning attack and a chance for a from-behind-comeback.

My friend whom introduced me to the game plays with me over the net often, and we enjoy the way the game sometimes causes something funny or epic to happen.

We have some crazy moments with this game and the music is really catchy that it makes you want to hum it sometimes.
I'm a big fan of Type-Moon's games and stories so it became a must-play at some point.
The game modes are all very typical and not much variety is given but that's how it is with this kind of game.
I actually started playing without much knowledge on the genre and proper play-style but after a few tries i picked up some basics and started beating my friend at his own game.
The game doesn't require any complicated combos unless your aiming to be a professional player.
The usual combos only involve launching your opponent into the air, jumping after him/her attacking ,double jump, attack into an air grab.Not all characters follow this pattern but most do and it's known as a bread-and-butter(BnB) combo. It just means its a basic combo that comes naturally to you.
Complicated combos will include special moves and super moves blending together into a deadly and beautiful instrument of death.Your opponents will marvel at how their health disappears like running water.
My friend doesn't know any proper combos but can often pull out dangerous chains off an ad lib and surprises both me and himself.
The best parts of the game comes from playing with a friend and that makes the game never get old no matter how long its been since its release years ago.
Even now i still play it when the chance arises.
If you have the time and want to try this game too, Melty Blood Actress Again can be found at the Zone-X arcades in Ang Mo Kio Hub and Dhoby Ghaut MRT station.
