Melty Blood Character Designs - Plain vs Bland

Don’t call it a comeback video, because my videos take so long they’re all comeback videos.

Yeah, I’m doing the popular thing and talking about Melty Blood character designs, but I promise that I felt this way before it was cool (and I don’t use character designs as an excuse not to play the game). I think I’m allowed a little bit of ragging about these characters and their game, since my first exposure to Melty Blood was being thrashed in a corner by C-Kohaku for 45 minutes straight. Bitter? Who’s bitter?

This video didn’t actually take too long to make, but I put off working on it for at least a month because the “conversation” around MTBL and its designs evolved as the game’s launch neared. I wanted the game to be a known quantity before I committed to saying something about it.

Thank you again for all your patience. I swear my next video will be back to my usual production standards.

Feedback is welcome!
