1. Introduction
This is my own reference sheet for team names in Melty Blood
Act Cadenza which I've decided to convert to a FAQ. I'm using
the original Japanese (change your webpage encoding) and
converting most of the (obvious) katakana names into the
equivalent English terms. I'm not going to bother doing
translation since MirrorMoon finished their own translation
patch ages ago (the game was released in 2007 after all). I
haven't bothered using their patch so instead I'll give my own
comments on the basis for some of the team names based on my
own knowledge. Ecole and Type Moon took some trouble thinking
up 253 different team names for the 22 characters and their
pairings and a lot of the names come from older Type-Moon
universe works.

2. Brief description of team/tag battle mode
Jygting's guide briefly mentioned a few details regarding
changes between the PS2 Ver. B Act Cadenza and the PC port.
I'll just add a little more on the team/tag battle mode itself.

Tag battle mode

Short description: Think KOF2003, but with rounds, 2
characters and no LDM-like restrictions on characters. No
change-over attacks, swapped out character is invincible
but partner running onto the stage is vulnerable to attacks.

Long description: 2 characters per team, number of rounds
required to win depends on your options selected. Both
characters share the same magic circuit (just like the
regular Hisui/Kohaku player option). Players can opt to swap
out their characters at any time during the battle provided
their character is standing, once swapped the resting
character regenerates health slowly up to the maximum
allowed (same manner as manual heat/blood heat activation).
Partner swapped in always runs on screen and can initiate
attacks almost immediately upon entry. If time runs out and
no knockouts have been achieved, HP of the present character
on stage determines the winner.  If sudden death is activated,
only one character must be knocked out for a team to claim
victory.


Team battle mode

Short description: 2vs2 Battle Royale.

Long description: Same setup as tag battle, only both
characters for both teams are onscreen. It is possible to
surround a character from both sides and knock the stuffing
out of him/her/it with chain attacks. Arc drives and Last Arcs
can affect both opponents at once depending on positioning.

If you have gamepads connected, have fun with friends playing
on the same/opposing sides for either mode.

3. Team names + personal commentary

As mentioned above, I use the original Japanese text as much
as possible, the only exception being obvious English-based
katakana which I've converted for simpler presentation.
Numbers with a dash behind each name are my comments. There
is no difference between character selection order for team
names e.g. Shion/Arc and Arc/Shion both have the same team
name, hence the 253 team name total.     

Shion Eltnam Altasia:

Shion/Shion: アトラスの錬金術師
Shion/Arc: 真祖と錬金術師
Shion/Ciel: No Life, No Bride(?) -1
Shion/Akiha: お嬢様と錬金術師
Shion/Hisui: キャラ的に被っています -2
Shion/Kohaku: 遠野家の地下の二大博士 -3
Shion/T. Shiki: 真夏の夜の夢
Shion/Miyako: Egyptian/Chinese(?) Kick -4
Shion/Warakia: コード：ウロボロス -5
Shion/Nero: 食欲と暴食 -6
Shion/V. Shion: タタリの夜
Shion/R. Arc: ウイルスとクランケ -7
Shion/Akiha V: 強気なお嬢様と錬金術師
Shion/M. Hisui:　科学的にはありえません -8
Shion/N. Shiki: 暗殺者と錬金術師
Shion/Satsuki: 元祖　路地裏同盟 -9
Shion/Len: 夢魔と錬金術師
Shion/N. Arc: 生物学的にはありえません -10
Shion/Aozaki: クライン。マぎず -11
Shion/W. Len: 第二次　路地裏同盟 -12
Shion/Kishima: 沈黙の共闘者 -13
Shion/N.A.C: もはや銀河的にはありえません -14

Shion notes:
1. All work, no play. Neither of them are getting married
anytime soon. That or I mistook this for pride but Shion's
personality contradicts the "pride" reading.
2. Common lack of character development.
3. Originally from Re-Act, Tohno Shiki win quote vs. Shion.
Developed more in later games.
4. Shion's birthplace and Miyako's outfit
5. Can't figure out what the code is in English.
6. Shion's (blood) appetite  and Nero's gluttony
7. Virus and Kuranke (Patient).
8. Likely Shion's comment on her chosen partner.
9. Re-act refeLence, play the arcade modes.
10. See 8, difference being biology.
11. I'm stumped here, one word is German and the other is
difficult to read and look up.
12. See 9, different pairing. The alliance grows each game.
13. Shion talks a lot more than Kishima so...
14. See 8 and 10, Shion's ultra-rational mind probably can't
fathom what her partner is.

Arcueid notes:
1. Kagetsu Tohya reference, the gimmick from the orginal
Melty Blood has not carried over to current instalments.
2. Mutual personality trait.
3. Miyako makes weird decision for choosing martial arts
teachers.
4. Melty Blood/Re-act story mode reference.
5. Easy decision for the programmers.
6. When exactly did robots acquire a taste for blood?!
7. Looks like Arcueid figured out who really was responsible
for carving her up...
8. Linked to the Ciel/Satsuki combo, oddly neither character
sees each other much in the games and the source material.
9. Mk.1 Cat team
10. Play on the anime/manga adaptation.
11. Another ridiculously hard katakana to decipher.
12. White Len's arcade mode + mutual choice of friends
13. This is an in-joke I haven't quite figured out.
14. This is a recurring gag for lots of N.A.C pairings, 
just as well Inui Ichigo isn't featured.

Ciel notes:
1. I'm guessing hairstyle reasons behind this name.
2. Obvious enough given their character specialties in the
games so far.
3. Melty Blood/Re-act G-Akiha route story mode 
+ Kagetsu Tohya Kohaku side story
4. Tsukihime game + manga adaptation quote.
5. Miyako's comment most likely
6. Possible reference to Ciel's past
7. Tsukihime reference.
8. See Arc/Satsuki, eagle and mouse pairing.
9. Re-act Len arcade mode reference.
10. An age and Melty Blood character design common trait.
11. Not a dream I'd want to be a part of.
12. See 10, a reference to Kagetsu Tohya's side story.

Akiha notes:
1. Default outfit colours + personality traits
2. Not sure what the katakana is 


3. Recurring gag about Nero's appetite, this one's highlights
Akiha's self-control.
4. Shion doesn't strike me as too ladylike but that's just me
5. Kohaku didn't refine her programming instructions enough...
6. Re-act arcade mode Akiha route.
7. See 5, in particular vs. Satsuki win quote.
8. No surprises here.
9. Lady's leisure club, personality edition.

3. Iron-fisted child and curtain.
4. The 1st of the Lewis Carroll references.
5. The 1st of several Nero clothes tastes and fetishes
6. The 2nd katakana part is difficult to decipher.
7. The 2nd Lewis Carroll reference.
8. Possible Tsukihime reference or a potential long-term
outcome between these 2.
9. Common personality trait.
10. Common personality trait + living address
11. Tsukihime 読本/Tsukihime doujin 日和 reference, see the
short strip once and the joke becomes clear.
12. - Wizards, damn Aozaki's katakana choices are hard to
decipher.
13. See Ciel/W. Len, also a reference to the Kagetsu Tohya
main story.
14. Hisui has a lot more speaking lines in Kagetsu Tohya.
15. Another smoking gag with N.A.C

Kohaku notes:
1. T. Shiki's grievance. Original reference 
Kagetsu Tohya main story.
2. Melty blood story mode + Miyako Re-act arcade mode
reference.
3. The 1st of numerous playwright/director gags for Warakia.
4. Not sure how V. Shion gained admission to this committee.
5. Not a pleasant thought.
6. Tsukihime game reference.
7. Not going to happen anytime soon, nor would Kohaku be
too happy with the arrangement. See Kohaku arcade mode
dialogue with N. Shiki.
8. Re-act vs. Satsuki win quote.
9. Nicer ending picture in this game compared to Re-act.
10. No surprises here.
11. Rivals? Plenty to fight over then.
12. Another smoking gag, I reckon Kohaku can bring out
Johnny for a good laugh.  


Tohno Shiki:

T. Shiki/T. Shiki:　月を穿つ　
T. Shiki/Miyako:　とつげきChina Paradise -1
T. Shiki/Warakia: Rule Murder

T. Shiki/W. Len:　White snow Cinderella
T. Shiki/Kishima:　水月鮮影   
T. Shiki/N.A.C:　６６６分割 -10

Shiki notes:
1. Compare Shiki's school outfit with the typical male clothes
worn by men shortly after 1949 in the Chinese mainland.
2. Tsukihime reference + Re-act Shiki arcade mode reference.
3. vs. Shiki win-quote, but this likely goes both ways...
4. I'm guessing Apotheosis for the 1st katakana.
5. vs. Shiki winquote for Akiha V. reference.
6. ...so says Mech Hisui.
7. ...so says Satsuki. Our oblivious protagonist probably
thinks otherwise.
8. Go through W. Len's arcade mode in this game for the
original cat food reference.
9. Aozaki generic win-quote reference, role assignment becomes
obvious later. See N. Shiki/Aozaki.
10. Looks like Shiki went a little too wild in his big fight
with Nero...  

Miyako:

Miyako/Miyako:　突撃China Girl
Miyako/Warakia: 監督、次はエコールものですが？ -1
Miyako/Nero:　大熊猫のいない動物園 -2

Miyako/W. Len:　少女と白猫
Miyako/Kishima:　修験道とか拳法とか？ -6
Miyako/N.A.C:　こんとんのライバル -7

Miyako notes:
1. Another recurring playwright gag for Warakia.
2. See 4, but the animal reference here reveals Nero has never
travelled to China in the Tsukihime universe.
3. Not sure what new moves she can pick up from this practice
dummy.
4. Tsukihime character material reference + Melty blood 
manga reference. This quote and several others should make it 
clear Miyako is not referring to the animal.
5. Miyako's numerous run-ins with Neko Arc...
6. Decisions, decision for Miyako. Not all that bad either way
with Kishima at her side.
7. Not quite sure if Miyako has ever met Nero formally over
the storyline and subsequent works. 

Warakia:

Warakia/Warakia:　Night on the Blood Lair
Warakia/Nero: Elder Title(?) -1

Warakia/Kishima:　無音劇団 -3
Warakia/N.A.C:　もっと悪夢 -7

Warakia notes:
1. Reference to their positions in the dead Apostle hierarchy.
2. The latter is one of the endings for the Melty Blood
story mode, the former is only revealed in the latest
instalment.
3. The Grand Guignol is a large-scale horror gore show.
There's quite a few movie gags here but I can't figure out
all of the katakana names.
4. Not sure if Warakia can figure out a casting role for this
one.
5. See 7, likely Warakia's opinion.
6. Warakia's outfit doesn't look that out of place at a
posh casino...
7. See 5. Also see Len/N.A.C.

Nrvnqsr Chaos:

Nero/Nero:　混沌の獣
Nero/V. Shion:　タタリと混沌
Nero/R. Arc:　魔王と非常食 -1
Nero/Akiha V:　Blood junk drinker -2

Nero/N.A.C:　もうつかれたよネコラッシュ -7

Nero notes:
1. More on Nero's (unusual) appetite.
2. See 1, although both parties aren't too picky on quality.
3. Not quite sure who's making this comment.
4. Reference to Satsuki's arcade route in this game.
5. 666+1 circle of friends
6. One of two cradle-snatcher jokes.
7. Nero's intro in the G666 boss rush mode just about sums
up this comment.

V. Shion:

V. Shion/V. Shion:　タタリの後継者
V. Shion/R. Arc:　デザートノイズ・ロストワールド -1
V. Shion/Akiha V:　血の暴走 -2
V. Shion/M. Hisui:　...これ、ホントはタタリと関係ないでしょう？ -3
V. Shion/N. Shiki:　殺人貴と吸血鬼

V. Shion/N. Arc: 猫ではなくネコという生き物なのです -5

V. Shion/W. Len:　Microworld designers -6
V. Shion/Kishima: 鬼と吸血鬼
V. Shion/N.A.C:　...ヒッチ０ックにあやまりなさい -7

V. Shion notes:
1. I'm guessing Dessert noise, Lost world for this string
of katakana.
2. Common trait of their character winpose portraits
3. ...says V. Shion. Doesn't indirect aiding and abetting
count for something?
4. Motive behind the 路地裏同盟 establishment.
5. Surprising V. Shion still has enough sanity to make the
statement.
6. Not sure what the microworld refers to, although their
outfits may have something to do with it.
7. The only censored word in all of the quotes, I speculate
some form of sexual harassment requiring an immediate
apology.

R. Arcueid:

R. Arc/R. Arc:　堕ちた真祖
R. Arc/Akiha V:　Two fanatic エンプレス -1
R. Arc/M. Hisui:　魔王新軍・Mechanoid -2

R. Arc/N. Arc:　それは猫属性をなくし、それはネコではない -4
R. Arc/Aozaki:　魔王を魔法使い(?)
R. Arc/W. Len:　堕ちた精霊たち
R. Arc/Kishima:　鬼と魔王
R. Arc/N.A.C:　これは魔王軍一番の小物！ -5

R. Arcueid notes:
1. I'm guessing Empress for the last word, which converts to
Two fanatic empresses. Fitting description.
2. First of the Demon lord army gags.
3. No idea what this stands for, but there's a resemblance
to Kinoko Nasu's D.D.D series.
4. Both parties have something to negate rather than agree on.
5. Both 小物 meanings likely apply here. 

Akiha V:

Akiha V/Akiha V:　赤主の権現(顕現？）　
Akiha V/M. Hisui:　...一体いくらなのかしら...？ -1
Akiha V/N. Shiki:　反転兄妹

Akiha V/W. Len:　お嬢様倶楽部・ツンデレ編 -5
Akiha V/Kishima:　紅赤朱
Akiha V/N.A.C:　だからタバコはやめなさい -6

Akiha V. notes:
1. Not sure why Akiha V. would want a valuation...
2. Reference Re-act Akiha V. arcade mode
3. Not sure how Akiha V. ended up in either cat's good books...
4. See 2, last stage.
5. See Akiha/W. Len, now the tsundere version.
6. Back to the smoking gag...

Mech Hisui:

M. Hisui/M. Hisui:　MxMxMxM -1
M. Hisui/N. Shiki: メカ的には同じご奉仕対象です -2
M. Hisui/Satsuki:　Hyper arm grapplers
M. Hisui/Len: 長台詞は苦手です -3
M. Hisui/N. Arc:　ネコとメカメイド
M. Hisui/Aozaki:　Iron maiden afterburner
M. Hisui/W. Len: 電子メイドは白猫の夢を見るか -4
M. Hisui/Kishima:　続・無口な人たち -5
M. Hisui/N.A.C:　もう誰もわからない

Mech Hisui notes:
1. Completely clueless as to what this means.
2. Refer Hisui/T. Shiki, only inverted.
3. Considering Len only has one spoken line in Melty Blood
and Kagetsu Tohya each, this is an understatement.
4. Reference Re-act arcade mode introduction.
5. See Hisui/Kishima.

Nanaya Shiki:

N. Shiki/N. Shiki:　殺人貴
N. Shiki/Satsuki:　九十九折る月下の惨劇 -1
N. Shiki/Len:　夢魔と暗殺者
N. Shiki/N. Arc:　あれ、十八分割しちまった...？ -2

N. Shiki/W. Len:　Unbalance Whippy Happy? -4
N. Shiki/Kishima: Red Lion
N. Shiki/N.A.C: ...ヤニの匂うは消してほしい -5

Nanaya Shiki notes:
1. Likely a reference to vs. Nanaya Satsuki win-quote and the
original Tsukihime plotline.
2. Nanaya must have lost count during his berserk spree in
the source material. T. Shiki Arc-Drive reference.
3. Assigning who's who for jobs is really obvious here.
4. See W. Len's ending picture and subsequent dialogue...
5. N.A.C's bad breath reference (down, down+A) 

Yumiduka Satsuki:

Satsuki/Satsuki:　薄幸吸血少女 -1
Satsuki/Len:　夜を走るふたり -2
Satsuki/N. Arc:　げっちゃ２
Satsuki/Aozaki:　新米吸血鬼、怒られる -3
Satsuki/W. Len:　第三次・路地裏同盟 -4
Satsuki/Kishima:　敵・即・極！-5
Satsuki/N.A.C:　カオスなDeja Vu -6

Satsuki notes:
1. Tragicomic seems a fitting description. See dialogue
between N. Arc/N.A.C vs. Satsuki in arcade mode.
2. Kagetsu Tohya + Re-act Satsuki arcade mode reference
3. Re-act campaign mode, numerous Aozaki comments
regarding the numerous vampire characters.
4. W. Len dialogue with Neko-Arc should have made this
obvious.
5. Shinsengumi reference...
6. Derived from Satsuki's campaign mode.

Len:

Len/Len: 黒い夢魔
Len/N. Arc:　黒猫とどちらでもない猫 -1
Len/Aozaki:　夢魔と魔法使い
Len/W. Len:　白と黒のロンド
Len/Kishima:　鬼神と夢魔
Len/N.A.C:　地獄ヶ腹の悪夢 -2

Len notes:
1. See N.Arc/W. Len.
2. Looks like a wordplay on the Senjougahara 
battlefield, also see Warakia/N.Arc, Warakia/N.A.C


Neko Arc:

N. Arc/N. Arc:　Sand Bacchus -1
N. Arc/Aozaki:　カニ対エビ -2
N. Arc/W. Len:　白猫とモザイク猫 -3
N. Arc/Kishima:　ねねねの軋間 -4
N. Arc/N.A.C:　Great old cats -5

N. Arc notes:
1. I'm positive I got this right, or it could be
sandwich bacchus for all I know.
2. N. Arc's air-rocket move + Aozaki's hair colour
for possible sources.
3. So, which description really fits? W. Len first
quotes the N.Arc description in her arcade mode.
4. I'm lost here...
5. Great Cat Garden Melty Blood representatives.

Aozaki Aoko:

Aozaki/Aozaki: Magic Gunner, Miss Blue
Aozaki/W. Len: Escape.アガシオン(?) -1
Aozaki/Kishima:　沙門と弁天 -2
Aozaki/N.A.C:　禁煙してくれない？ -3

Aozaki notes:
1. I would guess Escape action, but the katakana
doesn't quite fit. Something to do with Aozaki's
original role in W.Len's creation.
2. Saint/Sophist or Monk/Muse, reader's choice.
3. Smoking gags continue, Aozaki has personal
reasons for getting N.A.C to quit as well.

White Len:

W. Len/W. Len:　白い夢魔
W. Len/Kishima:　氷と焔 -1
W. Len/N.A.C:　Dandy Chaos and Tsundere Lolita -2

W. Len notes:
1. Thermocouple joke.
2. The Nero outfit joke mentioned earlier +
W. Len's personality (along with suggestive
illustrations+W.Len dialogue).

Kishima Kouma:

Kishima/Kishima: 紅い鬼神
Kishima/N.A.C:　酒もタバコも賭けことも大好きです -1

Kishima notes:
1. Finally N.A.C finds his smoking buddy! Odd that
Kishima would still favour earthly vices despite
his pilgrimage quotes.

Neko Arc Chaos:

N.A.C/N.A.C: Super Sand Bacchus

N.A.C notes:
1. See N.Arc/N.Arc.

The comments and description are my own work, everything else is
from the game. As mentioned before, Mirror Moon have a translation
patch out which is available for reference but any similarities
between my FAQ and their terms are pure coincidence (there's only
so many ways you can translate a term or phrase into another
language).

6. Version history

1.0: Basic FAQ completed. Barring any reader input this is unlikely
to see any updates.

7. Contact

There's a lot of content requiring clarification in this guide
(anything with (?) or untranslated katakana for starters) so
anyone who actually bothered reading this to the end and with
a desire to show me up for being ignorant can email corrections
and addendum to snookercue84[ampersand]hotmail[dot]com. Replace
the words in brackets with their appropriate symbols, there's
enough spam in the world as it is and I hate it just as much
as the next person. Add "Act Cadenza" to the email heading so
that I know not to delete the message immediately.
