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.

G-Akiha returns once more to wreak havoc, this time hidden behind a secret button combination in the main menu. All characters are available to face of with her in this game, and the new mechanics of the game make her a lot more manageable. The Heat mechanic allows a careful player to heal themselves, giving one a much better chance against her, especially after all the training from beating her in the original. I have also read that she randomly takes one or two rounds to beat, but in all my attempts it only took one.
