Well well well, there's been a lot of talk about this game and its fashion lately so as the self-proclaimed nr 1 fighting game fashion reviewer on CZcams, I decided to delve deeper to find out if this game truly is dripless or not.

Dope vid. If I recall correctly Arcueid being out of style is one of her character traits. Her old outfit from Tsukihime (2000) was out of style then too. It's almost like she's just catching up to the fashion of the original game's time lol.
Haha I really like that actually!
It’s part of her character
As an ancient vampire princess she is usually sleeping and she was behind the times when she arrived into town
I feel like her old granny dress fit her jovial nature better since she actually doesn’t care at all about fashion whatsoever.
@@agaed7676 great comment, I agree with everything you just said except that red Arcueid's dress would fit normal Arcueid better since normal Arcueid actually enjoyed looking good, in the remake she makes creates a form resistant against ice and fire and makes it be a dress specifically because she wanted to look pretty, she is just too out of touch and doesn't care enough to be up to date
red Arcueid on the other hand just couldn't care less, she will use her granny dress other people liking it or not
Melty blood is originally based off a visual novel called tsukihime
In the series they all look like normal people but they all have secret powers in some way
The designs are made to be relatively unremarkable because the characters need to fit in to the rest of the world, we then learn more about them through their dialogue ingame
The genre is: Magic assholes fighting in the streets at night
oh you got that from that video
You now know more lore than a lot of Melty blood players
Considering Tsukihime's principal of character design, I think you could see Kouma's coat as him concealing his identity as a paid emotionless killer yet he's still being feared by the people around him since the way he wears the coat is kinda like a Yakuza member or something. But hey that's just my interpretation
Fighting game character designs/outfits are made with the mechanics in mind, i.e virtually all characters wearing sleeveless shirts have coloured gloves or wristbands to draw attention to the part they actually hit you with. Cammy's outfit is once again, a great example. For this reason it's quite unusual for a FTG to have characters wearing black shoes with black pants or socks (as it makes kicks harder to see). I'd guess this is due to some of the characters coming from a visual novel, but also the higher quality animation compared to most air dashers. Also, I don't think it's a coincidence that the characters with the most elaborate outfits (Vlov and Sabre) both attack with long-range weapons, as having their attacks be an external object with hitboxes situated far from the body frees the character design from having to adhere to the same kind of colour theory that say, Street Fighter characters did. I know you're just looking at the outfits on their own, but thought I'd mention it. Anyway, cool video.
Yeah those are some very good points! I do agree it is a bit "unfair" to compare the Melty chars to other fighting game chars since, as you say, they're not really designed with fighting games in mind.
11:00 I think something alot of people forget is that most of the characters weren't designed to be in a fighting game
YES. I love that you brought in lore, fashion history, and some character design concepts. Would love to see more in this series - even just going back to all the classic Capcom & SNK games would be interesting!
Thanks! Yeah I'm thinking about doing more in the future :D
So True So True ... This is quite original. I never knew I needed this in my life.
Kouma is a half demon with especially strong demon blood
He became a hermit in order to train himself to better control his demon blood and his emotions. It’s why his eyes look so strange and why he has fire powers
The verdict is in. My wish has been granted lol. Appreciate the effort. Learned a few things I wasn't expecting to!
I've heard on many occasions that the style of Melty Blood and Tsukihime is meant to conceal the power, intentions, or origins that the characters have by making their outward appearance more plain. Vlov is the exception in this game but I can see this being true given most of the character designs.
That's exactly the case with Tsukihime yeah! One of the main themes about the Visual Novel is how the most horrifying things are just hiding in plain sight
The original Tsukihime visual novel was wild, and saying it's and adult game is definitely accurate, since in the original game the player had the option to pick between five routes with each girl being the focus of the route, and where those routes go is pretty dark. For instance, I'll never forget the scene where Shiki rapes Arcueid in her route, and it's shown in great detail, this was done by showing Shiki pinning her down and forcefully removing her clothes as he does the deed. Another example, is in a separate route with the player witnessing a similar scenario with Shiki's violent sexual encounter with Kohaku, which resulted in leaving the poor girl in tears. That being said, there is indeed story justification on why our protagonist does what he does, and I'll leave that for people interested in what I just presented to read the VN themselves to see what that justification is, but yeah, definitely not for the faint of heart. Still a very good read IMO, and I can see why so many people call this game a cult classic.
Most of the early Type-Moon games are pretty graphic in terms of adult content. But Tsukihime really took it and and drives with it.
it's crazy cause arc's outfit IS the update; she originally had an outfit much closer to red arc
A lot of the tsukihime fans actually are angry they gave her a more trendy look and rejoice at Red Arcueid having the granny skirt if slightly modified.
These fashion reviews are so much fun. Loved the Strive one, and I love this one too, and everything you said about this is absolutely fair. I hope you do more whenever you feel like it.
I'll let you know right now that Aoko Aozaki is peak fighting game drip😏😏😏
There are two shiki tohno’s because the current shiki happened to have the same first name as the original shiki
Something happened to the original shiki tohno and the new shiki ended up taking his place
I think it's important to remember that all of these characters are originally from a visual novel made in 2000. They work really well for that medium but not so much but for a fighting game. I definitely agree that they are pretty safe and some extra details could've been nice for those not familiar with the source material or visual novels as a whole. Feel like changing the designs would've upset fans of the original probably.
Good content btw, you should make more of these.
*Stares at short hair Roa*
I appreciate the fashion history lesson lol let's go
The true denizen of drip dropping mad knowledge out here, good vid per usual 👌🏽👌🏽
Kohaku's Japanese kimono maid is probably came from when japan is in westernization phase after the war. Possibly japanese caretaker who usually wear black kimono and using apron. This is just some educated guess tho from my background in japanese lit uni student+ japanese media I consume
@Joe Becker probably, my bad tho if i think about it they did go to war with westernized uniform also so not after "the war".
Kohaku likes wearing a kimono because she is apparently such a bad maid shes described as a "hurricane" so i think its because she doesnt do much cleaning
It's not that she doesn't do much cleaning, but rather her sister Hisui will force her not to. She's described as a hurricane because when she cleans she'll, in one way or another, break anything and everything.
She’s good at cooking and drugs doe
@@Archetype784 I wish I could be good at drugs like kohaku
@@decrabtra im a drug major
7:22 yeah, tsukihime family charts are complicated with some family drama The Maury Povich Show would kill for lol 😂
but tl;dr: Shiki was adopted after his biological family of 100% human demon hunters were killed by his soon to be adoptive family of demon hunters (but with demon blood) they killed the 100% human demon hunters because they were afraid they were going to kill the demon hunter with demon blood (since they can kinda go crazy because of the demon blood), they also brainwashed Shiki so he would forget about his last family being killed, he was fine for a bit but then his adoptive brother went crazy because of the demon blood, so they brainwashed him again so he would also forget about that and sent him away to live with his adopted aunts for a few years, that's why his cousin is also his step-sister ( crazy I know :P )
2:25 that actually is the updated version of her outfit lol, she used to have a ankle-length purple skirt
i wonder what u think of Saber since she's the last character that was added in the base roster before the game release
Really cool review as usual ! Looking forward to the next one 👍
Thanks! ^^
Do this for more fighting games! I'll watch it all
RIP shiki's jordans
That nod to kohakus backstory though 🤣 yeah tsukihime goes places.
As you night have guessed tsukhime is based on a contemporary modern setting where people are largely just normal people as you'd see in the real world. And so they dress to conform to that standard.
Of course it's not very inreresting as a fighting game design but melty blood being a licensed fighting game spinoff of tsukihime it's kind of inevitable.
Im glad you put a lot of history and knowledge into your descriptions because I didnt even know certain things. I knew sailor uniforms were based on actual old sailor uniforms but I didn't know the male uniforms were also based on a outfit
Ironic that you say arcueids (are coo aid broon stud) purple dress looks uglier than her mini skirt as the fans love her purple dress which is her original design and hate her skirt which is supposed to be representative of a more modern version of her
Thanks for liking the vid! Yeah I def made a mistake with Arc's skirt, I didn't know it was a redesign haha!
Godlike vid. Would you potentially be willing to do a cid in Granblue Fantasy Vs?
Would be interesting for you to look at characters from the previous melty blood too
I believe one of the reasons the characters are so normal, is because Takeuchi (the character designer from the original Tsukihime) was inexperienced and didn't want to make complicated designs, since in a visual novel you have to make a LOT of drawings. The artwork from the original Tsukihime is very amateurish. In this remake they updated the characters designs, but tried to keep the same simplicity they are known for.
Hi Kilmer. How are you doing, nice to have found you. Yoroshiku. Maybe mostly women that have niche hobbies might love this video.
But since I may start to "up my game" again in fashion, I am loving your intelligent, cultured and substantial analysis.
Since I've been wearing sporty clothes I haven't payed much attention to looking a bit "cooler".
It brings a lot of things together and I am looking forward to the many things you may bring.
Maybe review the next Call of Duty and God of War for some popularity quirks :-)
I came across Melty Blood: Type Lumina: The Game.
Then I checked out the review of the anime from Glass Reflection.
I was looking forward to finally finding a romantic anime done right.
Off course there is more to say on all of these things.
I didn't and probably should not check out the visual novel it is based upon, but I figure there should be something to this strory
since the game is looking and playing good, but I haven't tested it yes, only picked up on a demonstration from Nihongo Gamer.
Anyway, I am going to check out more of your videos and hopefully learn somethings from you and about you.
What does your name mean? Where is it from? Where are you from?
Good intentions and vibes from Curacao
May all good be a part of you and never leave you
I'm interested in seeing your custom colors
Allways fun to learn some fashion history, great video! Btw will you be makin a fashion video on the dlc characters for melty?
Thanks! I might after a full season pass has been revealed :)
Arcuied’s outfit is so updated, she originally had a long skirt
Great video! You should look up a clip on CZcams of Ciel's supers (game calls em Arc Drive and Last Arc) because she changes her outfit for those.
Great review. I also watched your video about Guilty Gear fashion.
Thanks a lot!
Great vid! Ironically you are kind of dressed like you belong in the game here though.
haha it was a liiiiittle bit on purpose :D
the japanes style kimono-french maid outfit are the common uniform style for japan servants/maid/house keeper during the meiji/taisho period
which are still in use mainly in more traditional service oriented jobs such as hotsprings inn keepers/ hostess
Ah, thank you so much!!
Get ready to do another review because more melty characters are coming soon lol, just was revealed last night 😆
Have you played the new Melty game? It would be nice to see
Pretty pretty pretty pleeeeaassse make this into a series. I'd love to see your fashion takes on character designs in Street Fighter and Tekken.
Oh My GOD! You play Guilty Gear! Oh My GOD! (Just getting innitiated :-) ... (Checked out your Twitch, and now I am looking forward to cooking some more (work at a restaurant) :-)
3:56 Lajm cameo
it's not a real fashion review vid without him :')
can you do one of these for kof15 too, please?
Awesome vid you should check out Under Night In Birth. I think French Bread took their idea normal clothing for fighting game characters in awesome direction in that game, it feels like they took the Melty Blood concepts to the next level.... I disagree about the boots though I feel it brings the murder out of murder nun.
what song is this
The slander on Roa's swag 😭
I think the designs make a lot more sense for the visual novel, since they appear a lot more classy, relatable and composed than most fighting game outfits. And since it's a legacy title, you wouldn't want to change up too much. But it was really interesting to hear you talk about the sorta historical aspect of the outfits, and I generally agree with your points and your ranking. cool video !
That's a very good point actually! Thanks for liking the vid :)
New game all new outfits, call it Drippy Blood
I definitely agree on the colour palette.
To be fair they Noel uses the boots to step on people in her grab attack.
Hey can you review clothes from their other game undernight inbirth made by the same people.
it's funny that you point out that the boots of ciel is bad...as shiki complement how good it look on her in the visual novel and I'm just there scratching my head
why this girl talking about drip when her own outfit makes her look like some farmer from the 1850's
Going too deep into Kohaku lore is too real, got a whiplash reading it 😂
Thank you for all your videos ... :-)
I was not expecting a fashion video about MBTL but I'm glad it exists. The boots! I can't unsee how bad they look. And I'm not even talking about the boot and the belt not matching... Can't unsee... I had to rewind and belike what?! The pirate red belt thing too... Really interesting overall. Let's not forget the characters are from a doujin hentai visual novel dating from 2000 so it may explain some of the outfits? And finally, it kinda makes sense that the character designs are not over the top considering how much action happens in the game. At the same time, Strive is just really intense on the eyes everywhere.
Yeah Strive is in a league of its own when it comes to design (or overdesign haha)! I would've liked the boots if they hadn't put those weird donut-looking things on them :'((
Also ... Hi everybody, have a nice life and happy days ...
Turn this into a series
Pretty fun Video idea.
are you A18 from Dragon ball ??
The point of arcueid's desing is that it looks old af.
Since her lore is that she was isolated and never interactued with society
Persona 4 and 5? 😃 (RPG's, Rhythm Games, Fighting Games?)
People are gonna love it, and I suppose you may be able to have a lot of fun with it as well.
Win Win, right?!?
Oh, somebody steps into Kohaku's backstory? D-D-Damn, you got some courage.
The outfits might not have drip but at least the combos do lol. I'm not sure why people are mad that the characters are somewhat dripless though. Simple is best sometimes. Plus, I feel like it works well for this game. They're just dressed like normal people would be at the time.
Anyway, great video. Watching you look into the lore of the characters just for the fashion was fun to watch. Hope you do some more.
pls do one for UNI!!!(under night)
maaaan you should drop move videos like this, would love for you to start making yt content again
next up fashion on kof xv and dnf duel ^^
The closest thing to japanese traditional "maid" style outfit would probably be kimono base + 割烹着 (kappougi) apron and 三角巾 (sankakukin) hat
2:29
Weirdly she’s one of the few characters that had a outfit change that I noticed at first. Most notably her skirt is shorter compared to previous games, and it looks like they gave the long skirt exclusively to her Red form. Yeah it’s not that much of a change compared to others. But to be fair most of the Melty Blood characters got some form of pretty small design tweaks in Type Luminus.
And were certain wiki pages not much help with giving you info about the characters? Kind of understandable as wiki pages can get edited by weirdos and trolls at times.
Nice vid.
u should do under night next
Good video do more 👍
Is Kilmer the queen of drip 🤔
kind of a small thing, but still: saying 'main protagonist' is redundant because 'protagonist' already means 'main character'.
That is arcueid’s modern design lmao her original design is basically red arc’s but it’s a full dress without the slit so you couldn’t see her legs.
yeah several other ppl pointed that out too, that was a mistake on my part haha oops ^^'
I don't know if your into anime or manga but if you are I can definitely recommend the tsukihime manga online. It gives tons of context to the characters and I just think it's a beautiful story anyone can read. And its much easier than reading an entire visual novel heh.
Nice! I'm brand new to Melty Blood, but some of the win quotes have been fascinating me.
Maybe getting into a manga version of the source material will make me attached to a character!
For now, I'm sticking to Saber cause she's got the most oomf visually
@@JTown465 yeah I definately recommend reading the manga! I think you'll become a fan of tsukhime and melty blood that way. I can def understand being attracted to arturia as a character. Fate is much more popular than tsukihime currently and her design reflects her historical fantasy origins definately!
@@MrInuhanyou123 Yeah, a friend kinda made me watch several of the Fate shows and while I didn't love everything, I came away from Unlimited Blade Works thinking that Arturia is a really cool idea and visual design.
I'm just glad to have a fast-paced pixel-sprite anime fighter with a decent tutorial and rollback!
@@JTown465 yeah I personally feel like the anime adaptions let fate down a lot despite having beautiful production values. Nasus penchant for writing stories just sells the content in a way that impossible to fully replicate in many other mediums I think, and that is especially true of fate stay night which is best read in visual novel form.
Thankfully the tsukihime manga I think did a great job of doing certain things even better than the original tsukihime visual novel, partially because it was nasus first vn 20 years ago and also because the author of the manga adaption sakaki shounen did an overwhelming job exploiting the manga artform itself to best take advantage of the story.
Nasu enjoyed the manga so much himself that he brought sakaki shounen back to do other manga adaptions of stories he wrote like tsuki no sango, and even officially brought him on as a creative lead on the tsukihime remake(not to mention cribbing a lot of scenes directly from the manga itself)
jennie video Poggies
the way you dissapeared
baller lets gooooooooo
Puede alguien decirme como es la jugabilidad?? Tiene autocombos??? O si es una jugabilidad ptofunda a la vieja escuela?? Es que no quiero comprarlo si tiene autocombos por que me decepsionaria.
Creo que vas a tner que rwscribir tu comentario en inglés.
Tiene ambas cosas, puedes hacer autocombos pero estos no generarán ni el daño ni las aperturas para poder extenderlos, tiene jugabilidad profunda a la vieja escuela y uno de los más complejos por el sistemas de las lunas. Si piensas que tenga autocombos arruina un juego te recomiendo que es mejor dejar de pensar así y podrás disfrutar más los juegos, que haya autocombos no hará que los novatos del juego de repente sean jugadores de máximo nivel o que puedan vencer a un jugador experimentado (que ya conoce hacer parrys, cancels, counters, etc) , es una asistencia para que vayan comprendiendo el concepto de la combinación de ataques y quienes brinquen de la asistencia son quienes pulirán su juego.
@@JMJAPO pues cada quien a mi en mi caso si me arruinan la experiencia los autocombos no se siente lo mismo, y por lo que me dices me hace dudar si comprarlo o no, por que ya me paso con el blazblue crostag y el dragon ball figterz ambos me decepsionaron no se siente la misma demencia al hacer los combos como en otros juegos de pelea.
@@EduardoGonzalez-cq8xg Melty blood is the best
Your outfit is sick as fuck
You forgot Saber…
No, this was recorded before she was announced
What's with all these fighting games channel saying 'drip' or 'dripless'? What's the English definition of it
Fashionable or not
well, this is one way to connect with your bf. I meant that as a compliment.
I don't really understand?
Yeah the outfits are a bit more boring than I'm other fighters but it is nice to see a fighting game where the female characters aren't sexualized, especially because the majority of the cast is female
Yeah, big agree! :D
@@KILMER_YT 💖 also wonderful seeing another girl making fighting game content, even if it's not the focus of your channel. We are very under represented in this community. Thank you for the video
@@decrabtra we sure are, thanks for watching it! ^^
LOOL
Having no drip almost feels like part of Tsukihime's brand 😆
it really is, theyre not meant to stand out in their verse
Tbh one reason I was skeptical about getting MBTL was the very generic character designs, after playing the game for a few days I can say that the bland designs don’t bother me at all, the game is actually so much fucking fun to play.
Yeah it looks great and the chars are cool imo :) nice that you picked it up and are enjoying it!
