Melty Blood is not that different compared to other recent fighting games, particularly Guilty Gear, followed by Street Fighter. In this game players are allowed to play 23 different characters, each with their own special moves and super specials. Controls are based on d-pad movement and four buttons, which are the light, medium and heavy attacks and shielding. The game allows multiple button pressing to execute different attacks, for example, a low attack and shielding (with left or right directional) will do a grab move. In addition, players can double dash, double jump (triple for some characters), and air dash (double for some characters). A nice feature that was implemented is the simplicity of special attacks. For those who know their Street Fighter, every character has more or less the same button inputs as Ryu's special attacks. Meaning, special moves are relatively easy to do in Melty Blood.
