The face of another TYPE-MOON title, Saber from the “Fate” series joins the battle in a TYPE-MOON crossover as a first-time playable character for the Melty Blood series.
Saber fights with a direct battle style using the range of her sword and the speed to close gaps instantly. She has two versions of her ultra-powerful Special, Arc Drive, and both have strong features such as wide-area attacks or counters.
Saber came to join Melty Blood: Type Lumina thanks to the passion of the developer French-Bread, and TYPE-MOON’s understanding. There are more details in the “Melty Blood: Type Lumina – Digital Deluxe Edition” bonus, “Melty Blood Archives” (digital edition). It has interviews with Kinoko Nasu and Takashi Takeuchi.
Saber also adds a lot to the “breadth” of the title as a fighting game, as fighting games thrive and show their strengths through battles between characters with distinct characteristics. As a “western” knight, Saber is quite distinct from the Tsukihime characters.
