Melty Blood Act Cadenzawas
the first arcade port of the series and was published by Ecole
Software. The visual novel was removed, but the Arcade Mode dialogue
featured in Re ACT returns. It completely revamped Aoko Aozaki’s
movelist for use as a playable character, and introduced Kouma Kishima
into the series, a man who was deeply involved in Shiki Tohno’s past. It
also introduced the Shielding mechanic (separate from EX-Shielding), as
well as included various changes to the properties of characters. This
version (as well as the later released Ver. A) can be identified by the
Atlasia crest, and the phrase “Through the Looking Glass, Black Light
transparently”, both present in the logo. Melty Blood Act Cadenza, released for the
PlayStation 2 and PC, was unique as a port in that it included an option
to revert to Version A mechanics, yet introduced significant changes
that were later included in ver.B, including an early version of Neco
Arc Chaos as a hidden character. It is sometimes known as Ver. A2. Melty Blood Act Cadenza Ver. B is an arcade port of the PS2 game with various changes and upgrades, the most notable
of which is the inclusion of White Len as a playable character, with a
significantly weakened moveset. It also introduced a fifth button that
served as a contextual action depending on the situation and the
direction held on the joystick when pressed, such as dodging or
throwing. This version can be identified by a dual silhouette of Len and
White Len in the logo and the phrase “Through the Looking Glass,
Northern Light transparently”. Melty Blood Act Cadenza Ver. B2 is a
Windows PC port of the arcade Ver. B. It has added features including
tag team mode, a 4 player team battle mode, a programmable dummy for
training purposes and a new hidden boss character, Neco-Arc Chaos Black
G666(replacing G-Akiha from Melty Blood: Re-ACT). It also included
subtle gameplay changes, most notably altered defense ratings for
characters and adjustments to the game’s input system. It was released
on July 27, 2007.
