Melty Blood is a visual novel and fighting game, co-developed by dōjin circles Type-Moon and French-Bread, originally released at Comiket on December 2002. Melty Blood: Actress Again, is the third game in the Melty Blood series, released in 2008 on Sega Naomi hardware and the year later on the Playstation 2. Megalol found a removed playable character in the PS2 version and some beta differences, as he wrote in our forum:
It’s interesting, I found this character by using “ArtMoney” and “PCSX2 emulator”. Her name is Powered Ciel, unfortunately the game does not start after selecting her (i think that the developers planned to use Powered Ciel as a playable character, but she was removed at the last moment)
also in the characters-select screen, one of the portraits is the icon of Powered Ciel
In the final screen of “nero chaos arcade mode” you can see Powered Ciel
in an old picture from a magazine, we can see the beta “character select screen” from the arcade version, but “akiha” has a different icon, the icon that will be used in “school form akiha” only a year later in the PS2 version.
Powerd Ciel has been confirmed to be a fully-playable character in the newest Melty Blood revision, dubbed Melty Blood Actress Again: Current Code. The video below shows her in action:
If you have more info about this lost character, please let us know!
Thanks to Megalol for the contribution

In one of the older Melty Blood games, you could fight a Ciel who was in those clothes. She was a gimmick boss character though, she only had one attack, though it was normal Ciel’s Arc Drive (a type of combo in the games).
Maybe they planned on making her a real character Like how Aoko graduated from being a boss to playable character.

Powered Ciel is going to be in the newest revision of Melty Blood.
