Melty Blood is entirely why I put off making character posts. By comparison, Fate is more straight forward, somehow.Yeah, there's alot of issues here and there when it sometimes come to Melty Blood scaling but yeah, there's alot of issues in how they use scaling itself which is extremely odd.
There’s massive potential for snarl as just about everyone fights anyone in Arcade mode. Shit, while I ignore the notion because his performance in Tsukihime still reflects beyond what Nasu claimed, but Nasu treated Tsukihime Tohno as discreet from Melty Blood Tohno in terms of combat ability (Tsukihime Shiki being a 3 of Hearts vs Melty Blood being a Jack of Spades using playing cards for his analogy). He acknowledged he either embellished or nerfed characters due to it being a fighting game, at least from his own perspective.
Melty Blood Manga Volume 1 Commentary said:At this point, "MELTY BLOOD" caused a major contradiction.
Since this was a fighting game, the position of the protagonist, Tohno Shiki, a character that could participate in combat only by means of trump cards, was reversed, and he became involved in the story as a protagonist that can "fight normally".
"....Right. The characteristics of the characters in "MELTY BLOOD" had either been exaggerated or restrained from what they had been in Tsukihime." "Using cards as an example, Shiki of Tsukihime would be a 3 of Hearts. But the Shiki of "MELTY BLOOD" would be able to fight normally as a Jack of Spades."
