So according to Arcadia there will be yet another Melty Blood rendition, Actress Again. This prominently features Roa as a playable character, Reisbyfe (Sion's Last Arc Drive Partner), the addition of a groove system, and a guard meter along with interface tweaks.
I personally think this is a bit ambitious. Having a guard crush capability in this game has to be insane; you will spend half the time blocking; no, nearly all the time blocking if you're on the defensive, as there are so many linkers. Also note that this game is solely based around correct poke mixups and techniques; if the guard crush is too low for higher level play expect a decline in balance.
Also noted that Kohaku or Hisui don't appear to have a solo option; there's only one window of them both together, which is somewhat dissapointing. If twins are carried over without movement tweaks the stuff-fu 214s of Hisui and the 214 Amber Missiles of Kohaku can be called nothing short of nerfing for advanced players of the solo versions.
I also note that Reisbyfe seems to have a giant shield, which worries me due to clash frame possibilities (Can you hear that? That's Ciel dashing at you).
Well, all will be tested when a demo of sorts comes out. I'm just happy Aoko got some charming art, and hope they don't do anything too extreme to her moveset.
Let's just hope it won't be Actress Again to Act Cadenza as Soul Calibur 3 did to Soul Calibur 2's legacy.
Oh, and just out of curiosity, if you're reading this message leave me a comment. I'd like to know exactly how much visitation I get, and can increase posting accordingly.
