Melty Blood: Type Lumina | Arcueid vs. Shiki

Two new character battle trailers have been released for French-Bread’s upcoming fighting game, Melty Blood: Type Lumina. The trailers focus on Arcueid Brunestud and newly announced character, Kouma Kishima. The first of the trailers focuses on Kishima and can be seen below. He demonstrates his abilities on Shiki Tohno.

 

The character page on the official website describes Kishima as follows:

Head of the Kishima clan, a branch of the Tohno family. He is half-demon.
Even among mixed- bloods, his demon blood is strong, making him only barely human.
Usually very quiet, he chooses to live as a hermit in a remote area of the mountains where he seeks to achieve spiritual enlightenment. Because of this, he often speaks of worldly ties and spirituality. His demeanor in battle, however, reflects his innate strength and demon blood.
His ability to use Scorching Heat means those in his way are often burned to ash.

The latest character battle trailer focuses on Arcueid Brunestud, a True Ancestor. She also demonstrates her abilities against Shiki in her trailer. You can check out Arcueid’s trailer below.

 

The official website describes Arcueid as follows:

A royal member of the vampire race known as the True Ancestors.
After suffering through a traumatic event, a naively innocent side of her was somehow released.
She now lives as a free-spirited, almost childish, princess.
She is incredibly powerful and, despite being a vampire, is able to survive in direct sunlight.
She has no desire to threaten human society, instead hunting other vampires known as Dead Apostles.
While pursuing her greatest enemy, she arrives in Souya, where Shiki lives.
Although a fateful encounter awaits her and Shiki here, a story of an earlier possibility is about to unfold.

Melty Blood: Type Lumina launches on September 30, 2021 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
