Darkstalkers (Vampire) series appreciation thread

Darkstalkers is probably my favourite Capcom fighter as far as character designs go. All of the cast are so much more interesting than your regular street fighter goons. Jojo’s bizzare adventure doesn’t count because they aren’t capcom originals.

It’s too bad that Morrigan was chosen as the Darkstalker representative of TvC and not Hsein-ko, who happens to be one of my favourite fighting game characters.

Ideally though, I would have Rikuo, but he’s not an important character nor does he have a large fanbase.

You sure? Last I checked Rikuo had a pretty good size fanbase.

Well he’s certainly not as popular as Felicia or BB Hood.

Well, she’s the default go to character whenever Capcom needs a representative from Darkstalkers. As much as I do like her, it sometimes does feel that Capcom’s forgotten about the rest of the cast.

Bump to let people know that Vampire Savior can be played on GGPO.

Vampire Hunter/Nightwarriors can be played on 2DF

Savior 2 and Hunter 2 are pretty bad games that were released too closely after Savior which is why the Japanese dont play them

I listed some of the differences in the Other Games section:

Hmm, gotta give VS2 a go after reading that (if just to try Morrigan without those nerfs from VS).
