Melty Blood: Actress Again [PS2] - Archetype:Earth in Arcade mode

This is a playthrough of Arcade mode using Archetype:Earth in the PS2 version of Melty Blood: Actress Again. Read on below for more information...
Archetype:Earth is a hidden final boss in Boss Rush mode of the game. She is an unlockable playable character, but she cannot be selected for use in Arcade mode.
===== ABOUT ARCHETYPE:EARTH =====
She is exclusive to the PS2 version of MBAA, and is basically an alternative version of the regular character Arcuied Brunestud. She has the Princess Arcuied (True Ancestor) design for certain scenarios such as on the character select screen, versus screen, intros and the winning screen; however in actual gameplay/fighting she uses regular Arcuied's sprites. She is a very powerful character who inflicts much higher life depletion than any of the other regular characters in the game.
===== ADDITIONAL INFORMATION =====
---- Despite having a Princess Arcuied portrait (the one on the character select screen and versus screen), she still uses regular Arcueid's image on the map/route screen.
---- Interestingly, on the character select screen when you select/confirm her and the Style select panel comes up, the Eclipse style mode is automatically highlighted and you cannot change it. This means that she can only be played with this Style. She is the only playable character in the game to have this unique feature.
---- On the character select screen, when you highlight her you will see that her eyes are closed on her sprite. If you press a button once to confirm her, her eyes will open. Now if you cancel the confirmation, her eyes will remain open. Moving the cursor away will make it normal again for the next time you highlight her.
---- On the character select screen, Archetype:Earth and Ryougi Shiki are the only two characters where when you press a button to confirm them and they do the pose animation, they do not return to their stance animations after the pose.
---- If you play through single-player Arcade mode with her, the game will always halt at the pre-fight scenes on the stages where a dialogue conversation with the opponent would occur. This is due to Archetype:Earth having no storyline interaction dialogues of her own.
---- If you go into her Command List, all of her move names are '???'.
---- Completing the game with her (using special methods) results in no ending. It just goes into a black screen and freezes.
===== ABOUT MELTY BLOOD AA =====
Melty Blood started off as a doujin game on the PC which was released back in 2002... it was basically a spin-off game of the visual novel Tsukihime. Therefore obviously, the game contains characters and story elements from the novel. The game has evolved a lot since then, so much that the later games saw release on the Arcade and PS2 platforms. In 2016, a Steam version of Current Code was released.
The gameplay of Melty Blood is all about the chain combos and pure rushdown... if you want to play this competitively then your reaction time and combo'ing ability better be up to scratch.

I think there different between MBAA and MBAACC. MBAA background when you pick character is blue, while MBAACC when you pick character the background is red

Hey I know this was 4 years ago but can you tell me what you did to unlock her?

[@Krizalid99v2]

I cannot remember exactly how, but you might need to complete Boss Rush mode as well (you should have it unlocked). You might even need to meet and defeat Archetype:Earth in Boss Rush mode as well.
