We don’t even know how good the netcode is going to be in this game yet, so there’s pretty much no way I’d buy it on switch. SFV for example, has rollback netcode, but it’s not nearly as smooth as better netcodes when playing people who are geographically distant from you. Adding a new type of character like that makes the game even more interesting. The thing is, not all rollback netcodes are created equal. The final reason is that despite being a fighting game, Melty Blood Type Lumina has few characters who are into 'fair & square' fights, traditional knight characters with a weapon, so adding Saber would fill in that spot. Next, there's how Kamone-san really wanted to make Saber himself for once and include her in a Melty Blood game. They also decided on Saber because she already appeared in several games including fighting games ( Nitroplus Blasterz). So after discussing with Type-Moon and getting their approval, they thought it'd be a waste to not use her, so they finished the character and included her in the final game. But since French Bread saw Tsukihime Remake was getting re-announced and released soon, they asked Type-Moon to let them make a new Melty Blood.Įarly in development, French Bread created some sample characters, and one of them was Saber from Fate/stay night. Before Type Lumina's development began, at first Type-Moon asked French Bread to make 'a new fighting game', with no precise IP in mind. Kamone-san explained at the 34:17 timestamp why Saber is in the game.
