Melty Blood gave people what they wanted during an era where the other 2D fighers were stagnating. It's just fun. It's popularity allowed it to make its way into a few big tournaments. But, for the most part, this is the game you you see people playing outside large events. A game that is not tournament quality, but is still super fun.

During it's prime I would give it a 10/10, but comparing to newer fighters, I'd say it's 7.5/10. Of course one of the newer games I'm compairing it to is a game that was supposed to be the HD sequel for Melty Blood. Under Night In-Brith started as an HD Melty Blood Game, which was to be released with the re-release of Tsukihime, the story Melty Blood is based on.

If you enjoy fighting games and havn't given it a try, then you need to. This game made it's mark on 2d fighter histroy. And its fans are awaiting the possibly HD Melty Blood which may be released with the Tsukihime remake that is apparently still being made.

But yeah... give it a try. I think you'll like it.
