In light of the recent announcement that Vampire Savior will finally get its chance at a major event (http://shoryuken.com/f7/ultimate-fighting-game-tournament-7-resurrection-new-chicago-event-may-27-29-2011-a-246957/).
The vampire savior community is trying to find out ways to draw out players from across the nation as well as gain some new ones.
Some ideas we have on the table right now are: run a weekly ggpo stream, make a community workshops on ggpo with our players teaching new players, and make a street fighter players guide to vampire savior.

Netplay options- You have the following options as far as netplay goes- GGPO, Supercade, and NFBA via Kaillera.
Each scene runs differently I can only speak for two of them. GGPO is where I normally frequent at and usually has people at all different hours (Japanese players in the morning, North American/European players in the evening).
NFBA and supercade are usually used for people whom can’t use ggpo. Most #poverty players utilize NFBA as the main client for running games.
We usually talk to each other on IRC or AIM so start sending out your screen names if you want matches.
IRC channels- #poverty, #srkvampire
Console Version Calamity*-
So their are like fifty billion versions of the same game (vampire savior mostly) and you don’t want to be left behind playing bad versions of the game look no further then here.
Arcade- 1st game Vampire: Night Warriors (aka Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors), 2nd game Vampire Hunter: Darkstalkers Revenge (aka Night Warriors: Darkstalkers Revenge), 3rd game Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire ( Darkstalkers 3 for USA psx port)
Shit “Upgrades”!*?_?- Vampire Savior 2 (aka crap attempt at an upgrade that has less characters and nerfed engine mechanics). Vampire Hunter 2- ( Crap attempt at making vampire hunter into vampire savior with vampire savior 2 engine mechanics). Both of this games are pure shit omit them from your memory.
Console Ports: Only the ps2 port matters (Vampire Darkstalkers Collection- http://image.gamespotcdn.net/gamespot/images/bigboxshots/8/926818_63459_front.jpg).
Within this port includes all of the arcade games including the 2 shit games vampire hunter 2 and savior 2. With dipswtich settings on the games can all replicate the arcade versions perfectly. Also arranged vampire savior is the shit cause of all the extra characters added (pyron, dee, phobos, donovan, oboro bish, etc).
*It has been reported by that the emulation of the game maybe off by about a frame or two for player 2 in this version.
Vampire Chronicles (Dreamcast/PSP)- This is a stand alone game in itself. The game is much like hyper street fighter without all the badness of hyper street fighter in it (horrible matchups). Much is not known about this version and it is not on my priority list to figure this game out. Not a bad game at all.
Training Mode- The only way to train for this game is to get beat up online, or offline training via emulator/console ports. You can use emulators with their cheat functions to make a ghetto offline training mode (you can use FBA RERECORD- top tier emulators, PSPs, MAME 32, Whatever; as long as it supports cheats).
You can use the ps2 collection version, or the dreamcast vampire chroncles as well (some stuff will not transfer over to arcade savior if you use vampire chronicles). Vampire Chroncles has a rec function in it, the vampire collection disc does not.
