I think he was talking about the rumor he heard that it would be the monkey from Zak and Wiki, since he and Max said they’d both heard that right after.
Karin is an interesting character due to her unique moves/special moves.
In a game with too many shoto clones that’s a welcome site.
She’s also a popular alpha character.
And last but not least of all she’s hot.
And which one of us doesn’t get a boner from the sight of SSF4’s 3D Cammy, Juri, Sakura and Chun?
I know I do.
Not so much Rose, Elena and Viper.
Rose looks old and Viper looks like a dyke. Elena looks like she has big feet. Not into that.
And there are some who want Poison in the game.
Poison.
no. just no.
p.s.
lmao, if they ever make CvS3…they should have Poison and Ash Crimson go out on a date. as a story subquest.
A tiny acrobatic monkey!!? That would be awesome, I’d love it.
I watched that portion of the video, and it sounds to me like he hasn’t been in touch on the 5th character news in a while. lol.
As much as I hate to admit it, you cant bash Elena for huge feet and still like Juri. The model creators gave her some big foot status. Chun-li is to thighs, as Juri is to feet
Can’t go wrong with big thighs. :D. As for the uniboob…yeah
I want Birdie for fuck’s sake. More UK representation please. America has like 6 characters and Japan’s half the cast.
I person can still bash Elena that’s if they don’t like women who are taller then they are, but people like that are silly and only a selective few.
As someone who loves Darkstalkers/Vampire savior you should realize some things.
Almost every character in DS is based on or at least inspired by either a famous monster from film / books / fairy tales / mythology.
Anakaris = The Mummy / tons of “Mummie’s curse” stories.
Bishamon = Undead Samurai / Possessed blade is a common story in japanese lore.
Huitzel = The Aztec god of Sun and War. Also giant robot monster is a common thing in Kaiju films
BB Hood = Little Red Riding Hood from Grimm fairy tales.
Talbain = Wolfman / werewolves in general
Lord Raptor = Zombie / Deal with the devil type story.
Felicia = Bakeneko as well as inspired by “The Curse of the Cat Woman” short poem.
Victor = Frankenstein’s monster (duh)
Rikuo = The Creature from the Black Lagoon as well as old seafaring tales of killer mermen.
ect ect.
Ruby Heart was originally designed as a Darkstalkers character concept according to Ono. If they expounded on her storyline to further explain the ghosts and such she’d easily fit a sort of pirate ghost hunter who took over The Flying Dutchman (The famous Ghost Ship of Davy Jones.)
SonSon fits so well its almost insulting you don’t know. SonSon is based on the ancient chinese story of Son Wukong (Or Son Gokuu in japan.) in Journey to the West. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_Wukong SonSon is more than just “a monkey girl” her storyline as the grandchild of the original Son Wukong would fit perfectly within the Darkstalkers universe of monsters and myths.
at least we can all agree that Twelve should not be in anything ever again
If Twelve was anywhere it should be a cross over or darkstalkers but frankly I’d much rather he just fade away into oblivion. He is a dull design both mechanically and thematically. Darkstalkers characters are all far more colorful in their design other than Shadow who is just a “Mokujin” type character anyway. I’d much rather they make whole new characters and also bring SonSon over (Seriously, if I haven’t made it clear she deserve to be in DS. She’d probably need a few new moves / tweaks but her story is perfect, her design fits while also being a good contrast, and she even has a completely unique mobility option which is IMO a key part of any darkstalkers design (Which is why I don’t want TOO many DS characters to ever get made because I feel like they should REALLY feel different in how they move around the screen). She can run up the wall and ceiling of the stage which is not only unique in the DS series but also something I don’t think any character in another fighting game has ever had, especially the ceiling part.
There is a ton of great and unique fairy tales and monsters and myths that DS could draw on before resorting to “Scientifically created faceless blob monster”
I do agree that Tessa would work well, at the very least there should be a witch of some sort in DS and Tessa’s design is pretty awesome.
Said it before but I want to be able to choose between the vanilla, Super and potentially the new Ultra announcer in sound options.
I’ll never be truly happy until violence is a beautiful thing again.
I actually liked Twelve… and Necro… and Q… and Oro… and Gill… and Urien, basically almost all the SF3 characters, but I happened to like the SF2/Alpha casts a lot more. I felt that the SF3 series had way too many freaks. You can’t beat Blanka and Dhalsim!
ANYTHING beats Blanka. Except for Twelve.
- I do know of the epic “Journey to the West”, didn’t know Sonson’s storyline, never read about it.
- Ruby Heart could fit, I guess, didn’t know her backstory either. Where do u find out these things about MvC2 characters?
- I am really picky about who they bring into Darkstalkers, it has IMO the best cast of any Capcom game…perhaps any fighting game (well that I’ve played). So in addition to fitting, I would like the design to be fantastic and bring something to the table as a whole. There are no clones in Darkstalkers aside form Lilith/Morrigan (even they play much more differently than Ken or Ryu).
Google mostly. wikis and trying to verify those wikis sources via googlefu. Sometimes I’m wrong but usualy I try and make sure before hand. The Ruby Heart thing I actually read the interview a long time ago that Ono mentions Ruby Heart was a rejected darkstalkers concept originally before she was put into MvC2 and it’s mentioned on several wikis and forums about the character. SonSon is kind of obvious to me at least as being based on Son Wukong even before I looked it up, what with the giant ape transformation, the staff that changes sizes, the cloud air dash, the super strength. Those are common features found in pop culture versions of the character, most notably being Goku in the original Dragon Ball series (which was way better than DBZ IMO.) giant ape transformation, super strength, size changing staff, flies around via a cloud also are all part of young Goku’s traits.
You mained Karin und say things like she’s a female Fei Long? That’s like saying Necro is recolored Dalshim. Also what do you mean a special counter instead of an Ultra? Aside the obvious fact that there are no Ultras in Alpha she has 2 Supers and her two counters are just normal specials.
Her gameplan in that game was to play footsies with normals buffered into rekkas until she corner’d you and then destroyed you, she also has a chicken wing. Who does that sound like? I understand the differences between them, but their gameplans are really similar. Whereas a Cammy/Claw hybrid would definetly have a much more different gameplan than Cammy.
Special Counter = Special Move which is a counter that you can do anytime instead of a Counter that does a ton of damage but that you only have one shot at landing it per round. Shocking, right?
I still see a crapton of people just asking for Alex and Karin because everyone else does. If a Cammy/Claw hybrid character would make people drop the game because “it’s just another clooooone wah” but another rekka character with a chickenwing and no flame kick but counters instead would make them buy it then I don’t understand what’s the problem with people.
MachoRhombus I mained Karin in SFA3 along with Akuma. I don’t care what other people think, and I don’t think most others either when it comes to what characters they like. Karin is nothing like Fei Long, she has rekkas that’s it. So does Abel whose rekkas are a huge part of his gameplan, is he a Fei clone too? A doll is going to have a bunch of identical moves to Cammy, and I don’t know what your smoking to think she’ll have a completely different gameplan either. Finally did u really play Karin, ever?
I don’t think you read Macho’s post right if you think he’s saying Karin and Fei have similar gameplans because both have rekkas.
