**Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code** is the 5th version of [Melty Blood](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melty_Blood), a fighting game series based off Type Moon's visual novel [Tsukihime](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsukihime) developed by [French Bread](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Bread_\(game_developer\)). It was originally released in arcades on July 29, 2010. A PC version was originally made available as part of the blu-ray release of [Carnival Phantasm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnival_Phantasm) Season 3. It wasn't until April 20, 2016 that the game got a worldwide release on [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/411370/Melty_Blood_Actress_Again_Current_Code/) by Arc System Works.

### Melty Blood Community Edition

A [**Community Edition**](https://play.meltyblood.club/) for this game has been created that includes [various fan-made external programs](https://wiki.gbl.gg/w/Melty_Blood/Links#Game_Downloads), most importantly **CCCaster** which adds **rollback netcode** into the game and is currently still kept updated with other features such as replays.

This edition is the preferred way to play the game online, as the official Steam version features delay-based netcode, inferior controller support and is mainly seen as a way to support French Bread.

This site exclusively covers Community Edition setup and resources.
