MainStays is my series where I play my favorite part(s) of my favorite fighting games with my favorite character(s) (what you would call a Main) of said game.

After playing through the original Melty Blood, it only felt right to also take a look at the second entry in the series which is, in any real sense, an expansion to the original. However, ReACT Final Tuned is much more than that, by adding not only an Arcade Mode and more characters, but also some of the fundamental mechanics which will be present in all future games of the series, like EX-Guarding and the Heat mechanic. The game also includes a whopping 5 non-playable AI-only characters of varying difficulty which will all appear in my videos for this game. And finally, it made the interesting choice of making the important battles in arcade mode harder by giving these bosses an Unlimited Heat Gauge. Scary.
This game introduces my series main Len, but aside from her I also like playing as Kohaku and Akiha Vermillion.

Kohaku has and will be one of my mains for this series, but I have also always enjoyed the mechanics of her team variant with Hisui. I'm not great at playing Hisui herself, as will be quickly evident in this video, but I enjoy the attacks she adds to Kohaku's move-pool.
Also of note in this route is the appearance of probably the most tricky of the non-playable boss characters as the second important battle. Their grab is quite something.
