'Darkstalkers' trademark renewed

Could be an avenue for a new character, actually.

New Darkstalker revives Jedah earlier than he should be. Shenanigans ensue.

I love joke characters(I main Dan most SF games and play Yoshimitsu too), but I really dont wanna see Jedah in that light >.>

Shenanigans probably wasn’t the word to use.

Just because Jedah wouldn’t be at “full strength” doesn’t mean he wouldn’t be a potent threat. I mean Morrigan spends most of the series at a third of her true power but she’s still (in the plot) one of the toughest members of the cast. Especially if he has some wackjob zealot giving him power boosts.

If you add in the VSav characters to the original lineup from Hunter you get 19 characters. Bam, add in Amingo and it’s a nice round 20. Good roster size of really awesome character designs, unique differentiating playstyles and lots of variations in matchups.

Motherfucker got greedy.

Yeah, I’m thinking Pyron would be the only character not to make it back if there is a sequel.

You’ve also made me want to change my avatar, which I shall do shortly. Also want to play Amingo again right now; the Amingo seed (hurrhurr) is starting to grown on me.

Ahh, it wasnt like that really.
This guy, Ozomu, really liked to eat souls. So he went under Jedah as an opportunity to do so (Jedah is a high noble of Makai) but Jedah didn’t want him just absorbing people for no reason.

So…Theres this gate of Makai that holds back all these powerful souls. It has seals on it, though.
Pretty much, Ozomu tricks Jedah, telling him that the gate is going to break open and all the beings of Makai will be killed. So he tells Jedah that he has to break down the seals of the gate himself and absorb all the souls cause hes the only one that can. Jedah believes him and does so, but dies from absorbing too much of the power.
Then he becomes Emporer Ozomu while Jedah is dead. (If you’ve seen Lord Raptor’s darkstalkers ending, this god guy that gives him power is Ozomu)

But then Jedah comes back to life and guess who’s soul is the first one to come into the Fetus of God? :stuck_out_tongue: Ozomu lol.

Pyron was one of the only characters in Night Warriors not in VSav…which sucks cause he was cool.

Amingo…hes funny. lol. :slight_smile:

Jedah is like a saiyan though. When he comes back, hes stronger. and when he kills people(not only people, I mean beings, lol) and absorbs them, hes stronger. Which is pretty broken considering only True Morrigan can beat him in Darkstalkers canon and outside of that canon theres hardly anyone who can.

I guess that’d be pretty cool though. I just hope hes in the game, as hes the only character I really enjoy playing.

Didn’t Demitri get killed off too? I remember hearing about an audio drama-thing where he got killed by Jedah years ago.

What I expect from a new DS game:
VSav cast and 6 or so new characters

What I expect from this trademark:
Darkstalker HD Online: IN SPINECHILLING 3D*
*On 3D TVs

Ah, yeah, I remember now.

Also, this was going to be my avatar, but I dunno.

I’ve rocked some Lord Dohma avatars before, Darkstalkers animations are pretty sweet.

I can’t wait to see how bad Capcom ruins Darkstalkers like it fucked up Marvel 3.

I will bet some Popeye’s Chicken, Capcom…

A) Gives us a shitty “arcade perfect” port done by Iron Galaxy to spite all those who complained about the mediocre Online Edition version of 3rd Strike.

or

B. Ono makes a Darkstalkers SF4 style with ugly 3D models and comeback mechanics to appeal to the OCD, casual crowd.

Either way, I won’t hold my breath despite my love for the series.

I must be a wizard.

No, because that is what Ono and Niitsuma did to SF4 and MvC3.

Which leads to:

That makes no sense. I lose all the time in kof 98. i don’t call it scrubby or dumbed down.

What if you’re like me and you lose 9 times out of 10 at all fighting games because you’re just that bad

what then

My guess is you play games like Marvel 3 or SF4 because you are 'good at them" even though that’s like a retard winning the special Olympics. It’s inferior to the real thing skillwise and they still are a retard.

Nothing personal of course.

It really does.

The main reason that people try to call games dumbed-down and scrubby is because they lose to people that THEY THINK they shouldn’t be losing to.

It’s basically a matter of ego.

That’s not much different from actual scrubs calling certain characters or moves scrubby because they keep losing to them.

Lol…then you’re just dedicated. You’re not blaming the other person for your losses.

Besides, you’ll improve with practice.

It doesn’t make sense you’re ignoring the fact that those games were dumbed down with mechanics that drastically increase power by getting you ass handed to you.

That being said, I really do prefer the classic LP/MP/HP/LK/MK/HK setup rather than the circle pattern in Marvel 3. The latter is much easier to learn but with the former you have a pretty good idea of what a move is going to do before you do it. Makes getting into new characters easier. If there’s any old-school mechanic I really want to see a return to it’s that (I’m not even old-school I started playing fighting games with Tatsunoko).

I don’t really understand this.

I win a lot…a lot in SFIV and UMvC3. All the time tho, win or lose, I’m just like “man, look how stupid/easy this game is.”

Conversly, I’m getting my ass handed in VSav, CvS2, and even KOFXIII and I haven’t yet complained about the other player, more like the character (Fuck you Q-Bee/Sasquatch, god damnit Blanka/Sagat etc.) or my own slip ups.

I do have a feeling a new Darkstalkers will be in the same vein as the new SF and MvC, “easier” and such, but it doesn’t mean I don’t want a new one.

I like MvC1’s/VSav’s style, but I hate MvC2’s layout… MvC3’s is a step up from that, imo.
