What extra animations are you speaking of? I, sadly, had to send my Satrun to the big trading post in the sky a few years ago. I played the death out of VS. Now I have VC and I can’t see what animations are missing.
kawaks for the win
the only one I can think of(b/c i noticed it while i was playing) is the subway entrance stage, w/ the cat, and the guy eating at the cafe in the background. the cat does extra shit.
Alright, sorry for the delay.
Here’s one of them …

Uploading the other one tonight.
The one I remember hearing about is in Jedah’s Fetus of God stage… when the match is over, a giant eyeball appears inside the Fetus’ brain… The CPS2 version actually has the graphics for this in the rom data, but they’re never used in-game, as far as I can tell.
I know of an “extra” animation while playing VS on SS years ago.
On Bishamon’s stage, they have this old hag sharpening a knife. When time runs low, she goes stark mad and her exposed sagging breasts flop wildly left and right. (I’M NOT MAKING THIS UP!) I’ve only noticed this on default mode (JAP). It won’t come up if your playing in English mode. I can’t verify this at the moment; I can’t get my SS to recognize my 4MB Ram expansion cart and can’t run emu VS on my machine properly.
Ha, I remember seeing the graphics for that in the CPS2 rom, too. Bizarre. I wonder why they bothered puting all these graphics in the arcade roms if they were never used?
i feel like a perv saying this, but I couldnt get her to flop around in the US and JAp VS versions… lol
and I remember the angry baby too. I’m too lazy to see if it isn’t in the arcade version b/c i cant remember(that and the vanity paradise stage are my fave, w/ dancing dog stage coming in at a distant 3rd)
I know that the baby freaking out is in the PS2 Darkstalkers collection, cos I had it in my possession for a little while.
i hope capcom releases darkstalkers for xbox live, it is such a good game
Okay, this is THE thread for everything now because now it really does have everything.

Nuff said. Gbursine, fantastic work! And great contributions and vids too from everyone.
Newbees will especially benefit. It’s still VERY useful info!
VS is a very good game, one of my persnal favorite fighters and one of THE most balanced fighters out there imo. There are quite a few players in NY that play the game including Justin, Sayyd, Eddie Lee, Flash to name a few. Alot of the guys are afraid to get into the game competetively on a tournament level for whatever reason but Im tryna generate some pull for this game here.
Im holding a VS tourny on the first of April at CF. Anyone wants to inquire just go to the April Fools Thread!
jeron.
goto the break the wed or thurs before ecc… I want to play vampire against good pple not on kaillera, I’m booked that weekend(w/ a girl’s dance).
Rapidshare has good speed, but it only allows u to download a file every 1 hour or so. Try uploading to Uploading.com or SendSpace.com both sites have good DL speeds & don’t follow RapidShare’s retarded DL rule. Still thanks for the vid!
Then it seems Night Warriors & Vampire Savior for teh win!
…and about Phobos: :dp:+:3k:
there’s a secret in getting the damn download with rapidshare . but forgotten
Seems nobody’s mentioned Pyron yet… how good is he comparitively?
Personally, I’m not fond of how they toned him down in his post-Vampire/Darkstalkers incarnation.
I can agree with only one change they made, and that being his air Sol Smasher (fireball) only creating the flame pillar in its ES form.
I’m NOT happy with:
-
How the Zodiac Fire (that’s his ‘wheel’ special, right? Never was up on names…LOL) went from an aerial leap, to along the ground
-
Galactic Voyage (his TP) having its button scheme changed around completely (though it HALFWAY makes sense, but I LIKED the opponent-centric version, thanks)
-
Planet Burning’s (special throw) motion change. In Vampire/Darkstalkers, it was :hcf:+:k:, but it changed to the ‘standard’ :hcb:+:p:…
-
Air Sol Smasher’s motion change. This one used to be :r::df::d:+:p: (Juggernaut’s Earthquake motion), and the ‘curve’ scheme was the same as the ground version’s: :lp: went straight, :mp: went up/down SLIGHTLY (Anakaris could be hit at fullscreen with this if both were grounded), and :hp: went up/down as much as VH/VS2’s MP does. The HP version in VH/VS2 is pretty much worthless…
-
Standing :mk: seems useless. Too slow for the series’s faster gameplay, even though it’s an overhead. (is standing HK also an overhead? He DOES use the jumping HK’s animation, after all…)
I have no idea what you are talking about. AFAIK, Pyron was not selectable in the first game of the series. Mind you, I only played the Vampire/Darkstalkes exclusively in the arcade and knew of no codes to play him and I never played the PS version where he might be selectable.
I did play VH/NW heavily in the arcade and on the SS.(I was going to get a PS at first to play V/DS but heard VH/NW was coming for SS, I got got that instead.) Pyron is basically undisputed best chara in that game even without his superior moves as a boss in V/DS. He has the strongest projectile and the uses for it are great. His teleport is cancelable within itself with very few frames(1-3?) he can be hit upon between ports. His jump down punches are great mixup tools
. And the zodiac fire and orbiter blaze get him to pressure opponents in close. His biggest flaws I see in Pyron are that his f.:hp: and cr.:hk: are not safe on block. And yet with all these strats he’s not totally broken and some charas give him a good fight.
He was toned down considerably in VS for SS(can’t speak for VS2/VH2). His recovery for projectiles was slower, he was more vulnerable during ports and his overall damge is weaker from before. I couldn’t tell you how he places tierwise but I’d believe he’s at the lower half.
yeah i heard that you guys been playing vs. right now me, cigarbob, and other arizona players have recently picked the game up seriously a couple months ago. playing on supergun. we have been progressing nicely. i cant believe a game of this calibur passed everyone by. this game is too good. very well thought out, and games go faster than st sometimes lol. definitely on of my favs now.
anyway, i know most of you guys are coming to mwc, maybe we can get a side tourney or hella casuals going or something. i think that would be fun as hell
The Break? I’m assuming you’re refering to “8 on the Break” in Dunnellun, New Jersey. I don’t think they have Vampire Savior anymore. If I’m wrong, let me know and I may join you guys too for some extra competition. Let me know ASAP so I can make plans to go there. Time and date for the get together too.
Thanks!
That would be great. I definetly wouldnt mind having a side tourny and or casuals for VS. Seemingly alot of people play this game underground also. I think the best way to generate some form of interest of this game to players is to showcase it locally of course but high level play at majors can get people to watch and hopefully eventually partake. There are so many graet things technically about the game and at the same time its not hard to get into. Anyway we’ll link up at MW definetly.
gbursine: Does the Break have a working VS machine now?Actually now that I remember I believe that they replaced the board with 3S for the tourny. I’ll have to see about making it a
day earlier for ECC because that would mean that I would have to find housing and whatnot but I’ll let you know ahead of time. Hopefully we can get our games on then.
