A ping to that IP reveals it is non-existent.

Anyone can explain this?

The web server is there. It may just be ignoring pings. Who knows, I never noticed it when I was playing MB, but it could be some update checker/info collector thing :/

PS: Oh wait, it looks like some Microsoft site: crl.microsoft.com
I'm thinking it's checking for codecs, because of the opening movie.

Where can I get Melty Blood? A bittorent? Download? Purchase?
That'd be cool if someone would start a torrent [illegal?].

Well of course buy it legally. The companies who make the game deserve to get paid so they will continue making more awesome games in the future. See the sticky "Where to buy japanese games" thats where you can purchase it legally.

hmm... I think its my attack style......dash and grab and air combo with Warakia ._.a

Akiha's grab is way overpowered....if done right, 15 hits max....about 1/4 of your life bar gone.....

Oh thanks!!!

I was a bit worried that I got a virus/trojan even though scanners show it was clean. Funny thing though is that I can play the mpg just fine with media player without needing to download codecs.

"If done right"...you do realize that Akiha's grab damage is entirely random?

Oh and managing to lose with Warakia is quite an achievement

How do you play replays? I just got a whole bunch of them from some site but I don't know how to have the game see these replays.

[AkihaTohno]

make the sub folder 'replay' in the MB directory. place replays in there.

[Newprimus]

Okay I did that, but there's like over fifty replays in that folder and the game sees only three. Any idea on what could be going wrong?

[Newprimus]

Eh forget the above. But I have another question:


How do you bring up the practice menu during practice mode?

What version do you have? If you don't have the newest, the game probably can't read them. you need 1.100... i think...

Jump+Kick with a fast character.

Or just use Warakia.

i'm playing story mode, so i can only use shiki. if i jump kick a lot of times when i land i get torched or punched. the punch can't be airblocked either...

another question: does anyone know how to get the newest patch?

thanks for the link, but is it 1.100 or 1.002? i overwrote the original mb.exe file w/ that patch and on the main menu of the game it says 1.002.

also, would anyone mind elaborating more on how to beat giant akiha with shiki?

[Newprimus]

On how to beat Giant Akiha with Shiki:


First off, do NOT corner her against the wall. This is a bad idea. And likewise, do not get cornered. The ideal spot is for both of you to be away from the walls, and normally as far apart from the other as possible.

Now, as long as the two of you are near the center, you can jump once, hit her a few times in the air, double jump, hit her again, then hit her a third time as you come down. But this isn't too good of an idea cause G Akiha tends to attack you right when you're falling down and that can really suck.

So, you attack her once, double jump, then air dash past over her head and toward the other side of her. That way when she's trying to attack you as you're hitting her, you can air dash past her and her attacks will totally miss you.

An even safer way to take her down is to stay as far away from her as possible until she starts her drill attack. Then you jump, attack, double jump + air dash past her safely. Will take even longer to beat her, but at least you won't receive horrendous amounts of damage in return.

I saw this game called Melty Blood in Japan-Town today. What do you guys think about it? Is it worth the $40?
