So I'm playing Darkstalkers Collection

Current Fighting Games Fighting Game Discussion

One more quick question:

Anyone getting sounds other than the narrator for things like “First Attack” sometimes? Example being the Pyron laugh sound in VH2. My first thought was it means something in the gallery or something was getting unlocked, but now I’m doubting myself. And seeing as how I don’t recall the arcade doing this…

The reason I ask is because my copy of the game must’ve come loose during shipping, as it wasn’t sitting properly in the case when I opened it and is scratched some.

Is there any list to what all the stars do in the options?

63

vampiresavior.com’s Darkstalkers Collection section has a few listed, at least. It’s in Japanese, though, so I’ll try to make a quick translated list of what they have so far (listed effect takes place when the star is checked ON)

01-01: Lilith, Morrigan, Demitri, and Bishamon have unblockable ES Guard Cancel specials.

01-05: Zabel/Raptor’s dashing HP can cancel into a dash (allows infinites)

01-06: Anakaris is invincible in mid-air during a whiffed Pharaoh Magic EX

02-01: Something about these moves being unblockable at a certain distance? Bishamon: ES Karame Tamashii, Enma Seki, mid-air Karame Tamashii; Anakaris: Pharaoh Magic EX, jumping LK; Pyron: Sol Smasher

02-02: Bulleta/B.B. Hood’s Cheer & Fire is unblockable

02-03: Can’t make sense of this one… One part has to do with Lilith’s, Morrigan’s, and Gallon/Talbain’s Dark Forces and air combos, another involves Felicia’s Dark Force, Lilith’s Luminious Illusion EX, and Morrigan’s Darkness Illusion EX.

02-04: Not sure about this one, either. Something to do with throwing and dizzies?

02-13: Zabel/Raptor’s jumping LK is unblockable

02-15: Something about a bug involving Lilith’s Dark Force

02-16: Not 100% sure, but I think this allows Zabel/Raptor to block during his jumping LP and the follow-through animation of his jumping HP.

03-08: Bug from Saturn version that affects Q-Bee’s dash attacks when used to the left

03-16: Gallon/Talbain’s ES Beast Cannon is unblockable (something about vertical…)

04-02: Dee appears on the character select screen

04-08: Something about canceling in chain combos

If anyone wants to try and help with the bits I couldn’t translate, check www.vampiresavior.com and go to the DarkColle section. :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks Felineki.

I love this collection. However, i have to say that I am a little dissapointed. Jedah has the Pink blood, ala the US version, instead of red. Not a big deal, but it bothers me nonetheless.

65

Anyone know about that sound thing I mentioned earlier?

It’s somewhat of a deciding factor as to whether or not I exhange this.

66

Even after 8 years I find double Anakaris special taunt (taunt button+3P) to be hillarious.

67

Yeah, I love that taunt. :pleased: It’s especially funny how if Anakaris gets hit during it, all the mummies in his little parade die and disintegrate.

9TNine, I haven’t heard anything about this sound issue other than your post. I don’t have it myself, but hopefully someone who does can check this for you.

Midnight, maybe one of the as-of-yet undocumented option stars could fix Jedah’s blood color. Not extremely likely, but possible at least.

68

Was playing against a friend in Vs. today and never heard it, will look into it more later.

9TNine-- When I play Vampire Savior 2 All I get are Bells and Chimes for any of the messages (First Attack, combos.) Is that what you are talking about? It doesn’t seem to do that in any other of them.

Is there a difference between VH2 and VS2 when you play them in arrange mode, (hold Select then select the game?)

I wish more people were talking about this game.

70

i love this game so.

sound seems really irrelevant, cant talk about something I may not’ve heard :slight_smile:

71

Yes. In some instances I was getting Pyron’s laugh, that might’ve been VS or VH2 though… what’s up with that?

-9

72

Yeah, I mentioned it earlier in the thread… Arrange version VH2 loses Savior’s system innovations, namely the recoverable white damage, and continuous rounds.

73

seems like there is an added air-counter system in arranged VH2.

74

VH2 also has the original Phobos (Hutzil). Not the one with the Child as in the Saturn Version of Vampire Savior. :tup:

EDIT: After playing more it seems that Phobos in VH2 retains all the VS Saturn animation except for a few things. He hovers while jumping and doesn’t have the child in opening and winning animations.

75

So is this normal? Arcade versions I’ve played coughmamecough don’t do this.

76

about graphics…

what do you think it’s the best option?

for me it’s filter on with sharpnes aorund 8-9… (RGB on standard tv)

77

I love how this game looks in progressive scan! I just wished Street Fighter Anniversary Collection for the PS2 was in progressive (I know the Xbox version is).

78

I play with the graphics settings standard. I wish more people were playing this awesome game.

79

how can i activate the progressive scan on darkstalkers collection?

80

If I had a PS2, I’d import it in a heartbeat. :stuck_out_tongue: In fact, I might just pick one up eventually, if only for this and the SF Anniversary Collection (still haven’t played SF3).
