Melty Flood Act 01 – Shiki, Arc, Ciel, Sion, Roa

August 14, 2011 in Fighting Game, Post Series

Here’s yet another new series of posts even though nobody bothers reading the fighting game related articles on this blog. Why do I bother doing it? I dunno really. I mean it’s either that or watch Smoky Thrill a couple more times and while that’s certainly a Sunday night I wouldn’t mind spending I think I should buckle up and just go with it. So here we go, the Melty Flood series. I asked braindead to help think of a name so blame him if you don’t like it. So anyway, here’s what I’m gonna do. MBAACC ver.107 is hitting the PC at the very end of this year. I’m gonna take every character that’s going to be in the game (31 confirmed for now) and write up a little introduction to each and every one of them including all 3 separate Moon Styles. If you’re completely new to MBAA and don’t know what the Moon Styles are, they were a systematic change in which each character was given 3 different playable versions which the player gets to select before the match. That’s essentially 93 different characters I’m covering so you’re probably asking why am I doing what seems to be so daunting. Well it’s very simple. The Melty Blood series is of course my favorite fighting game series and it holds a very special place in my heart, so I feel the least I can do is introduce more people to the series and help them get started so what better to do that with than Melty Flood? Great, got it? Let’s dance.

Two New Figures! Saber Summer ver. & GSC Miku

August 7, 2011 in Featured Post, Nice Things, Otaku

Yahoo! Yesterday I got to double dip and received two packages from different shippers. One was for my Saber Summer ver. from AmiAmi and the other is the old school GSC Hatsune Miku from HobbySearch. I woke up to take pictures of an elegent King Arthur at 12:00 noon and by 2:00pm I received the other package and had to take another hour set of photos for her. Both are 1/8 scale, Saber is by Alter and Miku is of course by GoodSmile. Summer Saber was released with a Rin Summer ver. as well but I felt that only Saber was necessary, however I was so impressed by this one that I may consider getting Rin on a later occasion. For 4410 yen Summer Saber definitely exceeded my expectations.

Hyper Galactica Super Dream Match Chronicles – Round 1: Kouma vs Akuma

August 3, 2011 in Fighting Game, Post Series

Going to introduce a new series of posts I dub the Hyper Galactica Super Dream Match Chronicles. The long name is to reassure you that it is about fighting games. In it I will analyze a dream crossover death match between two fighters hailing from different fighting game series. In short, MUGEN but in a blog post form and without the hamburger hadoukens or enhanced robotic professional golf players. The idea is to pit up two fighters with similar characteristics so today I’m matching up Kishima Kouma from the Tsukihime/Melty Blood series and Akuma of Street Fighter. These two are some of my favorite characters from their respective series and share more qualities with each other than you’d expect so I feel a fight between the two would be totally kickass. Both are buff dudes who are mixed-humans, Kouma being human/demon hybrid of the Kishima clan and Akuma being a human who’s transcended humanity to tame his Satsui no Hadou (Surge of Murderous Intent). Kouma is the perfect breed of human and demon blood and is a true Crimson Red Vermillion, basically a red red red super demon who can tap into a maximized demonic state through his thick demon blood. Akuma has more demonic forms as well that appear when he further embraces the Satsui no Hadou and strays further and further away from humanity to become Shin and Oni Akuma.

Today I went by Ikea and picked up my second detolf.
Unfortunately, they only had the light colored one in stock and my previous one was black. I decided to pick it up either way as it will probably be quite a while until I can go to Ikea the next time.

And since I freshened up my apartment with a new detolf I figured I’d take new pictures of my room. So here it is!

1/8 Extra Caster figure!

July 12, 2011 in Nice Things, Otaku, Short Thoughts

Rare footage of me doing a pre-order figure post, but today is special because it’s the first figure of a very important character. That’s right, our very own site mascot Caster! This Caster of course originates from the PSP RPG Fate/Extra as opposed to Fate/stay night’s Caster. Standing at 1/8 scale and manufactured by Phat Company while distributed by GSC, she will be available this upcoming November and you can bet your furry tail I’ve already pre-ordered her. She’s currently only 5,930 yen on amiami but you can also easily find her on your alternate favorite retailers already.
