This is something I’ve been honestly curious about: when it comes to competitive fighting games, which do you prefer: Night Warriors, or the much more widely seen Vampire Savior? And if it’s due to the bugs in Night Warriors, would you prefer that game if they were fixed in a later iteration?
Nightwarriors. I waited literally years yo play that game, and when DS3 showed up, it was like “huh…they made another one.” There was no anticipation, no excitement, and aside from Gamefan being on point, nobody cared. Nobody even cared enough to do an ova for it.
NightWarriors, by far. I was massively disappointed with Vampire Savior. They took what started out as a solid and original take on SF2 and turned it into the prototype for future Capcom mashfests. VS was the beginning of the worst era of Capcom fighters in my opinion.
Please elaborate?
Please don’t
I liked both game’s but I liked Night Warriors more.
Same here.
So why don’t you just, um, PLAY SF2?
VS is one of my absolute favorite fighting games, and it’s a true shame that it doesn’t have a bigger following. It’s its own thing whereas the first two Darkstalkers games felt too similar to SF for my tastes.
“im old”
Vampire Savior because VS has Lilith.
I like NightWarriors simply because Morrigan ranks better in that game than in Vampire Savior. But then again, the tiers in VS are tight so it’s not that big a deal.
VS 
Night Warrior was too dull plus no Q Bee. I would however take Night Warrior over VS 2, now that shit should just be forgotten.
Add me on the Nightwarrios bandwagon as well.
I will say that technically Savior is the better game but I have more fun playing Hunter. (I have the same regards with 3S and 2I)
care to elaborate?
This has ES moves (ex), supers, different clash property, a magic combo system, guard cancel, pursuit attacks, and tech roll.
I can’t see the similarity besides vs fighter under capcom development.
Nightwarriors, because it has some semblance of a distance game. EVERY single match in in VS is like two magnets stuck to eachother.
Vampire Savior. I like the faster pacing of the game, Rikuo bubble rape, Hsien-Ko and Q-Bee 
Competitive wise? Savior easily. Keo-bas pretty much said my reasoning’s why lol but if a new night warriors game had online, every character from all versions, kept the fast pace and the damage gauge system then yes, I’ll definitely play that over vampire savior lol.
As much as I like Vampire Hunter/NW, Vampire Savior is about a thousand times deeper. A lot of the fighting game community’s best players have a long history in VS like Daigo, Sako, Haitani, Nekohashi, Ohnuki, Shuu, etc.
Never got much play in North America, but the Japanese took it seriously enough to have it at SBO at one point. Very few games that force you to think as fast as Vampire Savior. Guilty Gear and top tier Marvel 2 are the only others that come close, and Vampire is far closer to the roots of SF than those two franchises.
yawp
nightwarriors is fucking SLOWWWWWWW. Its not as hard to play as vampire savior either and I don’t think the tier list is as compressed as it is in vampire savior. So for competitive purposes as well as personal tastes, I like VS much better. Its incredibly fast and technical.
I prefer Hunter overwhelmingly.
Savior is just too twitchy and is just too offensive rushdown focused for me. Often seem to become a battle who can hit their overheads most consistently the quickest and maintain their rhythm.
