Darkstalkers Revamp SF4 style! Player feedback needed!

Read the other other thread. We touched on it.

instead of a revamp DS, we need a revamp CvS2 first.

Capcom can’t ignore the fact that it needs a XBLA/PSN even if “said team could be working on SSF4”.

last thing I want is another Ono game. didn’t we learn from CFJ/SF4?

For anyone saying that a new Vampire/DS on the SFIV engine will play like SFIV, I believe it’s been said in the other thread. Just because it’s on the same engine doesn’t mean it’ll play (or even look) the same.

Just for fun, have her TvC model in.

this

For graphics Sprites>TvC graphics> SF4 graphics

Discalimer, I have only started VS online and was not around when it was in arcades, this is why I never post in the thread in the “Other fighting games” section, if these have some serious negative effect at higher level play, assume that I’m not aware of it

As for gameplay, keep the range on Lilith’s fireball the same as Vampire Saviour, keep the wallbounce on moves that have it in, keep DP priority as it is in Vampire Saviour (works a reversal but doesn’t go through everything) and GGPO netcode is a must, otherwise we might as well all just play Vampire Saviour on GGPO instead.

Also love the way fireballs act on Vampire Saviour, you know sort of pushing against eachother for position rather than outright nullifieing eachother.

(Although at least that’d mean less times logging on just to find either an empty room or just a couple of japanese guys playing it)

Don’t see why people hate on the white health recharging, personaly just think of it as bonus damage tacked on to the normal damage on a move to encourage people to rush down to more to finish the opponent off.

If a 3D engine is used, then I reckon it’d be pretty fun for the characters to have specific dancing animations for Lilith’s “Showtime” super, normal move animations like before would be fine with sprites though.

Honestly, I don’t want ANY more fighting games coming from Capcom anymore UNLESS they bring in the old teams OR get experienced programmers that can make a halfway decent fighting game. SF IV was the biggest piece of shit ever, and I don’t want to even imagine how bad Capcom could mess up DS.

You can’t really say that Artayes. Most of Capcom’s fighters were good because of either iterative commitments or because of accidental “features” because of how they coded the games. Most of the games are played in ways that weren’t originally imagined or intended by the company itself. I can’t imagine half of the shit in the pre-SF4 games by Capcom were intended to be played the way they are now. SF4 was intentionally made the way it was and either you like or not, but according to them, it’s the closest they’ve gotten to the game being played the way they designed it to be played when compared to every other fighter the company has made.

Honestly i’ve never came across people that had such a disgust for SFIV but damn this thread is showing it in spades. I never knew people didn’t like SFIV. But then again from what i’m seeing it seems like dumb complaints. I don’t know maybe its just me.

Seeing as how so many people are against DS goin SFIV style, how would you guys feel if it took the BlazBlue route?
Like better sprites and 3-D backgrounds, that way DS can keep its style but would get a graphical overhauling.
Cuz now that i think about it, 3-D dolls may not be able to hold up with the DS cast b/c of their general appearance i.e vampires, mummies, etc
2D might just be the way to go, but it would be interesting to see.
maybe some pc Sf4 playesr could skin mod us some look alikes, Gief as Sasquatch, Dhalsim as Zabel etc.

Except back in the day they never intentionally dumbed down the gameplay so EVERYBODY could be the best at it. I know for a fact that for anyone can be good at IV.

good example- I know a beastly Tekken/BlazBlue player who recently won Tekken 6 at NIT, he never plays SF IV but he enters the SF IV tourney and wins it over “experienced” SF IV players ROTFLMAO.
you don’t need to be a good SF player at all to play IV, you just have to be somewhat decent at fighting games in general or understand some basic stuff to win at SF IV.
oh BTW, he couldn’t do the same or even close in 3S or Alpha, even though he occasionally plays 3S because he actually respects that game but more of a Tekken/3-D player. SF IV is dumbed down, scrubby and boring, the only reason to play would be to kick some noob’s asses LOL, but since ANYONE can win at this slaw game…

If anyone can win I guess you should be the Grand Champion of SFIV then right?

except I don’t play it sooo…NO. Top players are usually going to win regardless in what they play-being smarter, quicker reactions, etc

anything you do against someone else can be competitive, no matter how good or bad it is. SF IV happens to be more focused on snazzy graphics, ridiculous long-lasting ultras, classic characters with same move sets, and nooby easy to use focus attacks. There will still be players that come out on top more often because they know how to win even at a shitty, dumbed down game like SF IV even WITHOUT any experience because it is just SF II/ALPHA/SFIII rip off basics with pure crap added to it to give that extra disgusting smell.

I thought the whole reason for making do with 2.5d was so that Capcom may actualy stand a chance of making it at all. (Lets face it what are the chances of them drawing all the sprites in good quality for a game that they aren’t even sure is going to sell?)

Rags.

Pretty much.

Actually I heard heresay that Ono already requested this shit to Capcom and they shot his ass down. Hope its true.

Dunno why people want moar of SF4 likeness anyway. There’s already Super Snore Fighter Bore right around the corner. STFU and play that.

Yessssss

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Seriously, I don’t want Ono touching my precious Darkstalkers, even less my precious Lilith.

LOL at all the negative SF IV posts. At least I am not the only one who thought it was garbage.

Darkstalkers is awesome yes, but they also have a dark side to them, could you imagine if Ono and team does it on how they would end up more silly and everyone super buff? ugh…

Darkstalkers is over-the-top yes, but in a very good way while still being dark (Bishamon, Donovan, and Jedah being some of the darkest characters), but if they do the game it will just be more cartoon looney tunes action with ink squirting out instead of blood.

the only joy i’d get out of a SF4 graphics DS is Midnight Bliss nonsense.

the only joy i’d get more than that would be HD 2d sprite Midnight Bliss. Either way, i’d rather DS stay the way it is rather than ono pull a SF4.

Right, that’s seriously creepy.

“Oh god, the dude who made SF4 could potentially make another game that would boost the scene and get more people into the older games! Having more people playing and appreciating Darkstalkers than ever before is a bad thing, because I play elite games for elitists like me!”

You weren’t the only one who thought it was garbage. You’re in FGD, also known as “If it doesn’t contain delicious lolis, isn’t CVS2 or 3s, and people actually play and like the game… we have to dislike it to be cool. No, disregard that. We have to shit on it at every opportune possibility so people will think we’re some awesome players… even if we don’t really have any tournament record to speak of.”

Don’t tell me a 3D “COME HERE BABY…”… or hell, any other Darkstalkers super wouldn’t be the hypest thing in the fucking world. It would pull in casuals, yes, but I have a feeling the hardcore players would probably come back out.

Regardless, this is FGD, also known as “Poverty, Faggotry, and Circle Jerking: We don’t play fighting games if they’re popular.”
