Past that... the winners bracket basically. LK and Kusanagi are both ridiculously strong, and Brandino is on fire this weekend. General opinion (aka bell and #mbaa) didn't favor Brandino to make top 8, but he's there anyway, playing better than expected (easy bracket notwithstanding), and he did show he can theoretically beat Garu! I don't really like Xie but anything's possible I guess. Maybe, anyhow. Garu, like most Japanese players, is used to the arcade version and not entirely experienced with console changes. Brandino beat him by using F-Ciel, a character that was absolute trash in the arcade but buffed in console, and exploiting Garu's obvious lack of matchup knowledge there. Not only that, he beat H-Kohaku, which is actually one of Garu's alt characters and the other reason he looked touchable in the hotel stream Bill linked. For tournament play he's been running H-Tohno and possibly his old main, H-VSion. Anyhow, MBAA is a really nice game and interested folks should definitely check out some of the recordings in Team Spooky's ustream archives! | ||

But they're happening right now.  I'm too tired to stay up though: I'll just check them out on Team Spooky or Youtube later. | ||

Crescent, Half, and Full moon Like Grooves in CvS2, these give the characters a few different normals, a few different specials, and a bunch of other differences. I'll mention some of the differences below. Chains, Target Combos, and "Reverse Beat" You know Juri's Ultra 1, where she can chain any weaker attack into any stronger attack? Every character in MBAA has this ability, so combos look a lot like Juri's U1 combos. Crescent and Half moon characters also have "Reverse Beat", which allows them to chain stronger attacks back to weaker attacks as well! E.g. if someone blocks your heavy kick, you can chain it into a standing jab to cancel the recovery, allowing you to continue your pressure. The one restriction is that you cannot reverse beat to an attack you used earlier in your chain combo, e.g. if you start your combo with standing jab, then you cannot reverse beat into it until the chain ends. Double Jumps and Air Dashes Every character in this game can double jump and air dash. They can also super jump and super double jump. Most normals can be jump-cancelled on hit, so most combos end with a launcher followed by a brief air combo and an air throw. Air Unblockables Almost all ground-based moves in this game are air-unblockable. So as a rule of thumb, you can only airblock projectiles and other air moves. EX Moves and Supers EX moves in MBAA have the same kind of "super flash" or "super freeze" that you see in other games when someone does a super. They cost 100 meter. "Arc Drives" are the real supers in the game: generally, you can only do them when your meter fills completely and you go into Max (or Heat) mode. Max, Heat, and Circuit Spark Max mode: when Crescent or Full moon gets a full 300 meter, they enter Max mode and they can use EX moves and supers for free! After Max ends, you get back 100 or 200 meter. Heat mode: your character slowly regains their red life, as long as they're not blocking or being hit. When Crescent moon enters Heat, it pushes the opponent away, so it's a useful get-off-me option. When Half moon gets a full 200 meter, they enter Heat mode instead of Max mode. Circuit Spark: the "Burst" in this game. Uses your whole meter to break out of a combo. Can be done only when your meter fills up and you go into Max mode. Half moon circuit sparks automatically on hit when they're in Heat mode, a disadvantage of that moon. Guard Bar MBAA has a guard bar like CvS2 and BlazBlue. The more hits you block, the lower your guard bar goes. If you block too many hits and your guard bar reaches 0, your guard breaks and the opponent gets a free combo. Shields (parrying), Dodges, and Bunkers (alpha counters) Shielding is basically parrying in 3s, except if you miss, your guard bar becomes weaker (decreases faster) and you have some recovery frames. Like in 3s, you'll see things like characters empty jumping to bait a shield attempt: the punishment for missing a shield in that situation is very painful, so they're not used as frequently as 3s parries. Dodging is exactly what it sounds like. It also weakens your guard bar if you miss (i.e. you dodge and the opponent doesn't do anything). Bunkers are basically alpha counters. Usually this happens when a Half moon character is blocking: they'll cancel out of blockstun into an invincible attack, costing 100 meter. | ||
