I’m not a newcomer, and I haven’t played on GGPO for years. However I played Bizm, Oouchi, DD Sasquatch and others. Yeah and I’ve been hit by j.HP with Victor, bubble loops, Jedah and bee Dark force semi infinites, BB hood infinites and all that. Participated in online GGPO tournaments back then too. Still…what I noticed? Tons of character variety, from my first time playing the game til the end.

I said balancing via execution is dumb. You seem to be addressing something else entirely.

Anyways what do you propose? Should Darkstalkers Resurrection have been rebalanced before release? That would have made it sell much better?
If I had to choose between which game was worse as far as “ability to win with any character” and it was between Vampire Savior or Third Strike, I’m picking 3S.
At least if I’m the Mummy against Zabel, I have couple of quick chains for around 20%+ damage and a randomly placed EX and Super that can turn a tide if I’m lucky enough to land it. I mean, Mummy is almost certain to be destroyed but he, as a genuinely unique character in the cast, has *something. I should also mention, whether I win or lose, the match is only going to last 20 seconds.
1/4 of 3S’s cast has nothing on Yun. Plane and simple.
1.Why are you trying to speak about a community you have no part of anymore? When said people been telling your wrong that are still playing like petran. Also, I’ve been saying character use variety isn’t balance. The more you look at the game especially old ones you’ll see the low tier characters pop up quite a bit.
2.You’ve been using variety of selection as your example for awhile when now you’re backtracking worse then shoultz and xes. Since you’re going that route.
I can win with Alsion in Breakers Revenge a low tier without hard links does that make the game balanced? No, all it is I put work in the game to be good with said character ate a ton of loses getting good with a low tier. It doesn’t matter what game that is something you don’t pay attention too. QMZ knows every character inside and out in HNK and how to play them as good as the other top players just so he can win with Jagi.
- No, the only difference I would of done was not use the new artwork and remixes and leave in the ex stage selection by holding select. So, I would of still used the ps2 version as a base. The thing is this Franchise has two fanbases one that doesn’t play fighting games and the other that does with no overlap.
- So you wouldn’t rebalance the game, despite according to you it having horrendous balance.
- This thread is about a possible new Darkstalkers game, and why it should/should not happen. Why Capcom would/would not take the risk, why the series may not be popular enough to be revived, etc. Let’s get back on topic.
Just saying, my 1 month qbee bodied Diar in a set once. fucking DIAR.
Speaking of last blade this guy, the director of deadly premonition(a game nobody has played but i’d like to) worked in last blade but i can’t remember what was his job there.
I mean i’m sure there’s quite alot of the old developers that don’t even work in fighting games anymore so i don’t get this brand loyalty some people have sometimes.
I believe Swery was character design.
I was talking about Daisuke as he did backgrounds for the second one.
I omitted to mention that the reason I play those characters is not because they are low-tier and harder to use, therefore better.
it is just that coming from other FG, I feel more familiar with them, since they play and control similar to Ryu/Ken/Dan/Akuma
I’d have picked Demitri too, but his teleport moves are a little disorientating for me.
the rest of the cast are more varied and with their own moveset, requiring a unique gameplay that is not transferable to other games. certainly more varied than 3S, but not as varied as Jojo’s BA.
which is also another hindrance for the game. those games require a long period of adaptation and training that in some cases may surpass that of newer fighters too.
Thank you for the honorable mention about me lol.
The biggest travesty the game is undergoing right now is the people not giving the game an honest try. Theres a lot of “fans” of Darkstalkers but, there isn’t enough players.
we could all be playing vampire savior right now instead of arguing about dumb shit as usual
how can we look forward to a new darkstalkers if we can’t appreciate what we already have
I always felt Demitri was the easiest to get accustomed to coming from a street fighter background. He has a great zoning game, he feels most like Ryu to me. With Morrigan you have to master her air dashing abilities, with Lilith utilizing her quick dash to continuously pressure opponents is essential.
The cast is very varied, though the chain combo system does help in learning different characters at least at a basic level.
Fans of Darkstalkers who never played the games?
Well playing always beats discussing. However to address your last point, I think a new Darkstalkers even if it happened to be inferior to the Vampire Savior (which it most probably would be), would bring a ton of new people to the franchise. More people would be curious about playing the older Darkstalker games as well.
I wouldn’t say LI is essential to Morrigan’s game, considering Nishiken swept 4-5 good players at AOW last weekend without using a single LI. But tha’ts beside the point.
Most perceived balance in VSav is due to tech hit. Tech hit gives Jedah a fighting chance against Wolf, for example. If we were to take tech hit away, the top tiers would stomp all over the lower tiers. Wolf would be able to jump all over Jedah’s big standing hurtbox all day with few repercussions.
It’s no coincidence that the worst character in the game (Anak) lacks a pushblock. Even watching someone extremely talented like Chikyuu have to fight Wolf is just painful; Anak has to play perfectly the entire match but if he slips up once or twice he’s going to die. Though he has some other issues that would need to be ironed out like his broken GC, Anak being able to pushblock would open up a lot of doors for offense as well as defense.
Jebailey is going to make the new Darkstalkers.

Damn, I need to get better at that shit!
At the character selection screen jedah players can just press up to give them a better chance
What makes Zabel such a good character?
It’s funny, most DS fans I know openly hate Sasquatch more than Zabel despite Zabel being a better character on paper.
Sasquatch is probably easier to use.
Pretty much. Sas players learn how to shorthop and set up his command grabs to do well with him at mid-level. Zabel IADs, unblockable, and big damage setups require a lot of practice to perform well at that same level.
I know how a new Darkstalkers could be a success in sales.
Make the roster compose of every character of the series just in Midnight Bliss form, and increase their bust and ass size like x3 times. Add a good breast jiggle engine and that would be all.
