DARKSTALKERS RESURRECTION coming to XBLA and PSN

His daddy is Bishamon.

Ill be getting this game. I play savior as well as hunter on ggpo. been messing around on savior 2 because of the new characters. Ill be playing donovan and bee. As for ds4 I have higher hopes than i did for sf4 and ive seen all my favorite game franchises get raped one more wouldnt effect me.

Sven has replied to the thread on Ask Capcom saying that he’ll get Derek to respond as soon as he gets back. I’ve also linked Shu’s site and Feliniki’s translations for them to see.

Those translations are great, but I think looking at them will overwhelm Iron Galaxy. All of those aren’t things that are in Vampire Savior Arcade. They just need to know which of those should be turned “on” as per the option in the PS2 port that sets the game to VS CPS2.

For anyone looking for help learning this game, I think the videos at this youtube channel should be the first stop. There are basic combo vids for every character.

This is the Zabel video that I’m using to pick him up. I transcribed the combos for myself, and I’ll put that up at some point. It’s very helpful and serves as a great overview for the character and the system.

Question: What is up with the Zabel combo at the 31 second mark in this video? How does that work?

Demitri is a tall character, so it’s possible to do instant overheads aganist him and do a air chain on the way down. Most character can do it one way or another. Not practical at all.

I realize that it’s not practical, but I would like to fool around with it. Is there any trick to the initial instant overhead?

This needs to happen ASAP.

This is what the secret option menu looks like in the PS2 collection when set for the proper VS rev that everyone plays:

Here is felineki’s translation of the VS stars for easy reference:

Looking at the stars that are not filled, the following are the omitted mechanics according to the translation. Unfortunately three of those are missing, but if they are working from the PS2 port all they should need to do is set the version to the 1997/05/19 rom.
[LIST]
[
]1-5: Zabel’s dash attacks can be canceled into dashes.
[
]1-9: Anakaris’s punches are unblockable during Dark Force.
[
]1-10: Unknown.
[]1-11: Unknown.
[
]1-13: Unknown.
[*]3-12: Specials/EXs can be canceled into from chain combos.
[/LIST]

To recap and double-post, these are the current concerns for Resurrection, if Capcom is reading this:

Someone that is more focused on Vampire Hunter is going to have to keep on top of that one.

Yeah, it’d be fucked up if Savior was all good and they borked Hunter(or vice versa). If anybody here knows Hunter on that level get on that ass.

All of Hunter’s switches should be on except for 3-4 (unknown), 3-5 (chain cancels), 3-6 (Savior-style autoguard system), 3-7 (midair chains), 3-8 (unknown) and 3-9 (Anakaris coffin command tweak). Then there’s the issue of Poison Breath and Sonic Wave against Water Jailed opponents. In the arcade 1995/03/02 version they don’t work, but they always work in the PS2 version no matter what the dipswitch settings. So it will have to be fixed.

Also Hunter should be on Turbo speed (it only has two possible speeds, Normal and Turbo).

Fish not being able to gas (more important) or sonic people in the bubble? That’s huge for him.

He’s already considered the #1 character in the game without it. Being able to get full jump in combos could be too much, given that damage levels in Hunter are overall higher than in Savior.

Posting this all over Unity so people can see.

I think they should use the speed people actually playing the game use (eg. Japanese) Game should otherwise be arcade perfect with all the quirps and stuff (Not going to happen, because PS2/DC/Saturn/whatever version and Iron Galaxy)

Just brace for dissapointment already folks, so you won’t be later.

^Already mentioned that PS2 version is basically arcade perfect w/ dipswitches.

That’ll be a first if an PS2-version of any game is totally arcade perfect. Even SFAA had some differances IIRC, and that was pretty damn close.

Read the thread.

Derek lurks the forums.
