STOP ADDING MORE SWORD NORMALS TO MY DAMN FIGHTING GAMES ALREADY
Iâm pretty sure âReturnsâ is used more. Would be interesting to actually see what is the most used subtitle ever.
What a fucking terrible idea
God no. Not only are they all nothing like DS characters but all this would do attract a bunch of people who otherwise wouldnât even want to play a DS game. I like Dante, even the new one, but I just do not agree that he should appear in Darkstalkers.
Why do so many people want to add unrelated characters to Darkstalkers, anyway?
I always felt that âVampire Messiahâ would be a great title for a future game.
Does âman on the moonâ count as a âmonster,â if so Iâd like to see him in the game, specifically the one named âRock Volnutt.â
All kidding aside. Aside from maybe adding Ruby Heart in, am I the only one hoping for only, at max 2-3 new characters?
That name is already taken by Jedah Dohma.
Subtitles? If adult Anita is in the game (as a final boss, and maybe a playable character) it should relate in someway to her. Savior of Light? Goddess of Light? Etc.
Morriganâs father, Belial should be a secret boss.
Speaking on titles and what not, where does the story of VSav even leave off? What would the next game even be about?
The story that no one cares, unlike KOFâs, left several characters dead(canât fight anymore) and Hsien-ko alive so she canât fight either.
Hard to say, all endings point to different things donât know which is cannon. However Anita is supposed to be the light that vanquishes the darkness (darkstalkers) but she is only a kid in Vampire SaviorâŚso I assume if they are taking the story into consideration an adult Anita should be in the game.
I hope this game really happens, Vampire Savior is honestly one of the greatest fighting games ever made. It is fast, with great rush down, but also emphasizing strong fundamentals and spacing. Best of all you can use anyone and win, and it oozes style. DS4 has to keep the nudity, nocturne type moodâŚa game with humor yet at the same time catering to an older audience.
They already came up with excuses to bring back Hsien-Ko, Bishamon, and Talbain after their original endings. And Pyron was killed off only because they didnât have enough memory to put in him in Savior. Story doesnât really matter any more in Darkstalkers than it does in Street Fighter.
Everybody got eaten by the bees. Characters in DS4: Q-Bee, P-Bee, Hsien-Bee, Bi-Bee, J-Bee, Mo-Bee.
They can and will retcon what they want, making sense or not, like Street Fighter IV did.
Hope the game can be good, because SFIV plot was garbage, so I am not having hope for Darkstalker 4 storylineâŚ
And it still better. Or it coulda been.
The whole Jedah anti-Christ thing was pretty damn cool and deep for a fighter back in 97, I must say. The music for the endings added to the mood, as well.

What do you guys think of combining Lilith and Morrigan into one character, giving her the best aspects of both? I think it would be a good idea, she would look like Morrigan, but depending on her move, her facial expression and body posture would reflect weather Lilith or Morrigan is in control.

The original Darkstalker games have an anime style, I would like a really dark gothic style. Keep the humor still. Make it very gory, and even more provacative.

Can Midnight bliss make it into Darkstalkers 4?

I love the spider girl idea mentioned earlier. A gorgon (with snake tail) would be cool as well. Maybe a marionette controlled by an unknown demonic power.

A comprehensive story mode, so we can get to really know all these wonderful characters
Mo-problems?
Darkstalkers was influenced as much by western comics and cartoons as it was by anime (Japanese players often say it reminds them of Disney). It has its own unique style, which is a big part of what made it popular in the first place, and it should stick with it. It shouldnât become another Mortal Kombat. However on a personal note, Iâd like to say that I prefer the illustrations and portraits from the first two games to those from Savior, and would like to see Darkstalkers 4 look more like the former than the latter (although I think the sprites themselves should be the primary reference).
I see your point, the style is indeed unique. My worry is about how the game will sell. Anime style graphics were highly popular for a time, remembering the early VS games or the Street fighter Alpha games, however I donât know how people will feel about it now. Darkstalkers never made a big splash in the states even with the anime style graphics.
SFIV is not as good looking as SFIII or SF2, but the graphic choice was smart from a business perspective. Had it gone with an evolution of say the SFIII style, it wouldnât sell nearly as much even though it would indeed look a lot prettier.
Thinking on Darkstalkers, it is a strange combination of wildly humorous which would have great appeal to younger players, and sexually provocative and sometimes gory which would appeal to an older audience. I think for sales, making the game like MA rated or something, and taking the sexuality and violence to an extreme while not losing its sense of humor would have the best chance of making the game stand out to casual gamers therefore making it a financial success.
Darkstalkers 4 if it really happens, Capcom knows it is a huge risk with only a relatively small following, so it must appeal to not just this small following but bring in a ton of new people so it has positive returns.
