MELTY BLOOD
The game's playstyle it is regarded as relatively "old school" in comparison to many other dōjin fighter releases such as Melty Blood, Eternal Fighter Zero, or Big Bang Beat, as many of the systems and conventions in the game are rather similar to several late 1990s fighting games made by companies such as Capcom. With the game being slower paced and focusing more on careful footwork and space control than the aforementioned games. The extra modes the game provides and the ways which they are unlocked also resemble console releases of old fighting games, further reinforcing the retro feel. A signature feature of the series is the Reflector, a move that allows player to guard incoming attacks, and can only counterattack at close-range, whether on the ground (both standing or crouching) or in the air.
