For me, it's Night Warriors/Vampire Hunter Darkstalkers' Revenge

[Anonymous No.8562212]

Though I also enjoy Darkstalkers/Vampire The Night Warriors, not forgetting the merits of Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire /World of Darkness and Vampire Savior II or Vampire Hunter II either of course.

Have the characters ever guest'd in a Beat 'em Up? DnD with a monster squad would be so cool

Just add a couple strippers in there and boom literally Darkstalkers.

Am I boring if in Vampire Savior, despite all the weird, crazy fast agile movement options for the characters in these games I always prefered to play as Victor? I swear that motherfucker's punches, animation and sound design wise are the most satisfying shit ever.

Capcom's "big guys" are always a lot of fun to play, the design and animation conveys their weight perfectly

[Anonymous No.8562312]

>>8562245
If playing Victor is boring, then I must be incredibly milquetoast, because I always play Morrigan and Hsien-ko.

What makes you think that succubi have the same anatomy as humans?

[Anonymous No.8562448]

I actually prefer the japanese PS1 version of 3 over the originals

[Anonymous No.8562468]

It's Vampire Savior for me, but Vampire Hunter is definitely my second favorite. The pace of vsav is just much more fun to me with the way it uses lives instead of separate rounds.
>>8562448
It's not half bad, but I prefer the Saturn version since it doesn't compromise on any animations and has Donovan, Pyron and Phobos/Huitzil

we were robbed form a Darstalkers bmup from Capcome and a Samurai/Last Blade bmup from SNK

[Anonymous No.8562601]

>>8562274
That they are. The only one I like better than any Capcom one is Ninja from Ninja Warriors, but it really doesn't get any better than Victor pumping his thick, veiny l i m b s to deliver one of those chunky smash soundbites on connection.

>>8562312
Not what I meant lmao, I love Hsien Ko, she's so unorthodox it's a lot of fun too, but that's my point, in such a crazy cast, Victor stands out as a pretty straightforward big guy. Even if he's defintiely imbued with a lot of Darkstalkers craziness. The detail Kinu Nishimura actually gave him a big butt cause she likes that in a man is priceless.

But they still had to go and give him the saddest ending of any character in a fighting game.

While smaller there is a dedicated playerbase in Japan, outside thrre it weirdly is rather ignored.
>>8562245
No, it just means you like bottom tiers.
>>8562468
This is why vsav has more of a scene both in and outside Japan, it's just more distinct as a game.

[Anonymous No.8562619]

A total Darkstalkers noob here. What's the deal with Vampire Hunter 2 and Vampire Savior 2? Are they safe to ignore?

[Anonymous No.8562626]

>>8562619
Yes. They're both an alternate version of vsav with different rosters and mechanics. The changes to the system mechanics are universally agreed to make them both less fun and less balanced then vsav. Tbey only differe from one another in soundttack and roster.

Lmao I would not have expected him to be very good no but I did enjoy Sasquatch a lot too, I just enjoy brutes in fighting games.

I assume that was the point of the thread, but the Darkstalkers series titling patterns are so fucking confusing holy shit

[Anonymous No.8562743]

Darkstalkers needs to come back as a RPG series where you choose to be either a good Darkstalker (Felicia, Lei-Lei, Dimitri, Morrigan, etc) or an evol bastard like Jedah, Lord Raptor, Pyron, etc and you can pick allies by either offering them a good deal or by forcing them to do your bidding, depending of which side you are in.
Yeah, their lastest cameos basically retconned Demitri and Morrigan as good and honorable guys who want nothing to do with pointless death and war.

Darkstalkers is dead

[Anonymous No.8562757]

>>8562743
I hate this fucking meme, why should a fighting game series have to become a different genre just because you can't enjoy them. Darkstalkers is and always was a fighting game, anything else is not Darkstalkers.

Terrible, I hate this.

The RPGs mixed fighting with the turn based battles and it worked great.

Don't care, it started as a fight game and hould stay one.

I usually get the timeline of these games mixed up and forget the first entry came out a year before stuff like Street Fighter Alpha. Darkstalkers totally set up Capcom's visual style for the rest of the 1990s

Cute reply, sorry you don't enjoy fighting games but fans of the series shouldn't suffer because of that.

Agree, but I hate the Capcom habit of changing color palettes, usually for the worse.
