only in character design

>>5389773
This. I wish it was also better mechanically and balance wise though.

>>5389773
this
besides it's unbalanced trash

>>5389825
What's the most OP character in the game?

>>5389829
Sasquatch

>>5389776
All of its mechanics went on to be used in Street Fighter and Marvel (as well as dozens of other fighters by other companies), so you'd have to be saying those games have bad mechanics, too.

>>5389687
Darkstalkers never came out on 16bit platforms so Street Fighter wins by default.

Me: (sticks out tongue)

>>5389687
But to be serious for a moment yeah Darkstalkers is better.

>>5390123
I don't think any of the 16 bit consoles would have been able to handle its animation. The SNES only just barely had Alpha 2 running on it, and it had to do so via sprite compression that made loading times necessary.

>>5389687
Yeah, but you won't ever get on fightcade and play with anyone. You'll shitpost about waifus for about 100 posts and dump some barely worksafe images in a desperate attempt to keep the thread alive, but you won't run matches.

t. animefag

>>5390131
Not him, but I already played a lot on actual arcades back in the day. Don't feel like putting up with emulation, lag and brazilians tbqh. If I want to play some VS Darkstalkers I'll just play on my actual PCB when my friends come over.

>>5390134
>anime
>when the animators themselves cite Disney and Tom & Jerry as influences

>>5390202
Anime refers to gameplay, not aesthetics. Vsav pretty much invented anime which carried onto Jojo and then the Guilty Gears.

>>5389687
>Darkstalkers 4 never ever

>>5390128
I still prefer cartridge based games though due to personal experience of them being more reliable, I don't like disc based games because say you buy one used there's no guarantee it will work properly if at all where as if you bought a used cartridge that could have been crammed up a buffalo's ass for all you know it still would come out working just fine.

>>5390284
In that case pretty much anything that isn't Street Fighter is anime.

>>5389829
what the absolute fuck is an OP character?

>>5390140
fuck yeah. CPS2

>>5391291
Overpowered. I.e. easily dominates other characters. Of course, what's overpowered and what isn't is often up for debate in any sort of competitive game, since player skill is a large part of the equation. However, even diehard Darkstalkers players do tend to admit that Sasquatch is one of the most powerful yet easy to use characters throughout the course of the series.

>>5391287
Not really, as long as it doesn't have air shenanigans or overlong chain combos then it's not an anime fighter.

>>5391342
Then Darkstalkers wouldn't be either, because juggles hardly even exist and chains usually end with 4 or 5 hits.

>>5391375
Juggles isn't what he means by air, half the cast is capable of air dashing, also airblocks. Ironically, Jojo, a fighter actually based on an anime, has less airdash characters than Vsav.

>chains usually end with 4 or 5 hits.
The fact that it has magic series at all makes it anime.

>>5391415
Only four characters have an air dash and only one of them are super common.

>>5391443
Five, don't forget Huitzil. Although his air dash is fixed length, so you can't really rush down at close range with it.

>>5391454
>Huitzil
He directly said vsav anon.

bump

>>5389773
>only in character design

lol NO

The only good thing Darkstalkers did was provide material for the Street Fighter Alpha series.
