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.

Kombat 3. The storyline involves the divine protector of Earth, Raiden,
attempting to change the aftermath of the events of Armageddon by
contacting his former self as he faces defeat at the hands of the evil

Street FighterThe
Movie arcade version of Street Fighter: The Movie differs from the
previous Street Fighter II games in several ways. The game gives a
greater emphasis towards air combos or “juggling” than previous games:
the player can continuously attack their opponent while they’re falling
in the air with a series of attacks. Additionally, players can cancel
any Special Move while performing it into another Special Move. This can
even be done with projectile attacks. Many of the returning Street Fighter
characters feature new Special Moves exclusive to the game, such as
Bison’s “Electric Arc”, Cammy’s “Whip Choke”, and Guile’s “Handcuff” (a
Special Move based on a glitch in the original Street Fighter II).
Characters such as Zangief and Balrog now have the ability to deflect
projectile attacks back to their opponent. Many of these new Special
Moves require for the player to hold down a specific attack button,
input a directional-based command on the joystick and then release the
button. The method for grappling attacks was
reversed for the game: perform the throw command while holding the
joystick towards an opponent will throw the opponent to the opposite
direction and vice versa. Player has the option of inputting a specific
command to “escape” a throw with no damage or perform a “counter throw”.
However, a character can counterattack a “counter throw” by performing a
“reverse”, while reversing a counter throw can ultimately be countered
with a “slam master” technique.

The King of Fighters 2001Spend some time with it and you’ll eventually realize that it’s one of the deepest, most technical 2D fighting games ever made. Arcade Game developer SNK officially went
out of business in 2001, but that hasn’t seemed to slow down what is
apparently a new generation of games for the company’s NeoGeo arcade
hardware. One of the last projects the company was working on was The
King of Fighters 2001, the latest edition in SNK’s annual fighting game
series, along with a new developer, Eolith. And while certain aspects of
KOF 2001 may seem very different from previous games, spend some time
with it and you’ll eventually realize that it’s one of the deepest, most
technical 2D fighting games ever made. It’s no secret that SNK’s NeoGeo hardware
is old. Over 10 years old. That’s why its games still use
low-resolution, hand-drawn sprites for its characters, rather than
switching to a 3D engine or at least using high-frame-rate,
high-resolution graphics. The age of the NeoGeo hardware seems painfully
obvious when you look at KOF 2001′s shoddy background stages, which
look generic at best and ugly and pixelated at worst. But over the
years, SNK’s artists have perfected a bunch of visual tricks to help add
detail to their characters and give them lots of personality. And KOF
2001′s characters have lots of personality as much as you’d expect from
SNK, a company with a history of making some of the most distinctive and
memorable 2D fighting game characters ever. You’ll see it in your
character’s win poses and taunts and in other extra animations. It’s
true (and unfortunate) that KOF 2001 reuses a lot of old character
animation from previous games, so that some characters especially the
newest ones–look better than others. But most characters have at least
some new animations, win poses, and special attacks–more than enough to
make each one more interesting than they were in the previous game, KOF 2000.
