Vampire Savior is the only fighting game I could random select and have an absolute ball whoever it ends up being. Every character has something awesome about them, and unique to him/her. That’s how you fuckin’ design a cast of characters.
Something about him in SF4 makes him look stupid, maybe its the bulging eyes. SF2 gief he just seemed like a real mans man. SF4 graphics made everyone look worse though, except Sakura.
Favorites: Bang Shishigami, Kagura Mutsuki Nightmare in every SC except for 4 (he looked like complete shit in that), Akuma, Guy, Juri, Marshall Law, Viewtiful Joe, Megaman, Jin Saotome, BB hood, Sakura, Dan, Jann Lee, Jacky Bryant, Hitomi, Deadpool, Dante, Smoke (MK9) , Cody, Adon, Sagat, Kokonoe, Azrael, Chipp Zanuff, Sol Badguy, Jam kudoberi, Johnny, Baiken
Hate: Morrigan/doom in umvc3, Platinum the Trinity, Most of the Street Fighter cast, Marie Rose, Noel Vermillion, MSS, Cable, Litchi Faye Ling, Amane Nishiki, Yuuki Terumi, Bridget
Every time I look at Adon’s hair I think of a carrot that’s been pushed through one of those wavy slicers…Then I remember he’s fucking awesome and forget about it.
My favorite character in terms of design is Ruby Heart. I figured that someone has finally made a proper pirate like character because the other one was like throwing sharks and shit at ppl al la world heroes. On top of that she threw a fucking ship at you (even though it was unsafe if it wasnt in a proper combo).
The worst character by far, design-wise imo is Dhalshim. I mean I like his playstyle, but wtf? He’s wearing potato sack shorts, he looks hungry, and he blows out fire? c’mon son. But then again it fits with the theme of an earthly hermit so I get what they were trying to do
I mained Morrigan in MVC1, TVC, and MVC3(for about the 2 seconds I played it). Besides that, I don’t even use her in most games she’s in (she usually sucks), that said, Morrigan’s prolly my all time fav VG character.
Her greatness should be obvious!
As far as my most hated? I detest way to many. Couldn’t even put together list if I tried, I hate sizeable portions of tu mani FG rosters.
Morrigan’s actually pretty good in her own game Vampire Savior. But yeah Morrigan’s awesome! Fun Fact: Morrigan’s Darkness Illusion is the first super to require a button sequence input. Not Akuma’s Wrath of the Raging Demon.
Morrigan is ass. In Savior, she only beats Victor and Lilith. None of her tools are good enough to threaten most of the cast. If you like Morrigan mechanically, pick Demitri or Jedah.
Just5moreminutes. Well yeah in Savior Morrigan’s low tier. But she has the tools to be good on offense.( Chaining into Darkness Illusion is serious damage ). Everyone in Savior does. Sure Demetri and Jedah are better but she’s still perfectly usuable and unique with her air dashing and ability to change her trijectory. And if MightyMar can make your Mummy god work, then someone can make Morrigan work. Also MightMar wins against from time to time Felicia so that match up isn’t impossible.
MvC3/UMvC3 is the greatest incarnation of the character. Based Capcom actually gave us what we were asking for when they first announced the game - flight. No flight mode, no fly-cancels. No fly-cancels, no bullet hell. Thanks to that, she can be played the way I like to play these kinds of games, from full screen away, chucking plasma all day.
Just5moreminutes. I recently looked up Anakaris’s back story and a few other Darkstalkers characters. Now I see why you refer to him as a god. Like holy shit why doesn’t this series have a story mode? There’s like way too much effort put into these character’s lore and the lore of the world they’re in just to do nothing with it. It’s like someone working out like an olympic athlete but with no intentions of trying to make the team. They just settle for being a cashier or something else mundane. Such a waste.
Anakaris is baller as fuck.
-The only reason he fights is to have a warm up before defending his kingdom.
-He manipulates time travel outstandingly well. There is a kind of paradox with him though because he was left intact long enough to power up precisely because he went back in time to save his kingdom, which does create a sort of time loop. Dunno how that can logically be understood.
-The Felicia MU isn’t impossible, but 3-7 at best for him. Damn cat is just too fast for him to reliably handle.
-Morrigan (and Lilith) have a serious problem with being relevant. Unlike Anakaris and Victor, who have very cool things that sometimes work out in their favor, Morrigan and Lilith can’t have any situation they shine in. Her mobility is a blessing and a curse because anyone with good anti air options forces her to play defensively. Which is troubling for her because a lot of characters don’t fully need to respect her zoning like you would vs Jedah or Demitri. It isn’t that she can’t do anything, but she has serious trouble feeling like a strong character in any category. Lilith has it harder, being a bad version of an already underwhelming character.
-On that note, I’d like to see a DS4 Morrigan that carries over some of her flight tactics from her modern appearances. Maybe charge 25% bar per flight cancel or something. And let her keep the angled shots from MvC3 to help her stand apart from Demitri. He’s pretty solid as is.
Just5moreminutes. I think a lot of the Darkstalkers would benefit from their MVC styles. Except Hsein-Ko. I don’t know what Capcom had against her in MVC3/UMVC3 but god damn she sucked. Like Felicia’s rolling buckler having two different follow ups with one hitting low. And like you said Morrigan’s angled Soul Fist from the ground. Not sure how BB Hood and Anak played in MVC2.
Probably should be having this discussion in one of the Darkstalkers threads.
