Darkstalkers

Didn't Guilty Gear do that already with Zappa?

If they made a Darkstalkers 4 they could totally make a Ring Tribute character. :P
Sadako was based on Oiwa so, with that in mind, I think I'd prefer a character inspired by the OG onryou. :3

In any case, there's loads of untapped potential - witch, harpy, gargoyle, homunculus, golem, gorgon, dark elf, lich, dullahan, slime, etc to name some archetypes.

Side note, while I'm mostly against the notion of guest characters, I'm also a hypocrite when it suits me and there's a couple of Capcom characters I'd love to see in DS - Daniella from Haunting Ground, who's a very effed up homunculus and Oichi from Sengoku Basara who's a onryou-inspired emotional trainwreck.

I bought the first Darkstalers on the PSN and played it a few times. I don't know if it's me, but it's very hard. I should dedicate it full practice, it seems like a fun game.

How about the sequels?
 
I will play vsav with anyone.

Just call me.

its a really great game. and yea your right compared to newer games it is a really hard game. i think it only got harder to be honest with the later games. DS3 in particular is a very fast paced game. more people should play it really.

I had no idea Capcom had shown a teaser for Darkstalkers 4. WHY DID THEY NOT GO THROUGH WITH IT?

Because Capcom wants money, and they think only four things can get them money: Street Fighter, Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and mobile games. Darkstalkers 4 would have to be none of those.
 
they actually blamed the fans: said them haven't shown enough support for the series because darkstalkers resurrection haven't sell millions and millions
 
They probably wouldn't have done it even if it did sell millions and millions.

That's part of the essay I'm writing entitled "Capcom Sucks at Making Games"

You know, the day I saw this video in school, back in 2012, I completely destroyed my car on the way home after. This was my first (and only) real car accident. No joke, I was that hyped, I couldn’t drive properly anymore. I climbed out of my car wreck without any scratch afterwards, and saw this as a heavenly sign that I should live and play the new Darkstalkers someday.

If a certain company doesn’t make a new Darkstalkers in the near future, I will.

They claimed the same thing with Mega Man Legends 3. Not enough fan support and all. Loads of nonsense if you asked me.
They even cancelled a fully playable demo for the game not even giving the project a whim of a chance, in case you don't remember.

actually that was a teaser for darkstalkers resurrection, not DS4.

everyone was massively disappointed when they found out it was just for the re release.

if anyone is ever up for any DS on xbox im game.

But it’s way funnier than saying "I drove too fast". The accident had nothing to do with my hype, but because of the accident happening that day I always remember that video.

And since nobody was harmed on that road other than my car, the joke’s on me anyways.

That wasn't actually for Resurrection at all. The teaser was for what could have happened if Resurrection did well. Of course, Capcom then effectively ensured it would fail.
 
Found an interesting retrospective that should be required viewing for anyone who's a big fan of the Darkstalkers series.

Man, kinda wanna learn this game after watching that. No promises
 
Yeah, I think it'd be pretty hard to get into a Darkstalkers game and play it competitively, especially with all the little quirks like how projectiles interact and the intricacies of pushblocking.

It's not that hard to learn at all (since when do you have to master all the quirks and intricacies on day 1?). It was very easy to pick up and play back on GGPO. Obviously like any fighting game, you're not going to become a master of the engine over night, but good fundamentals will help you get some great matches right away.

I highly recommend it. My third favorite fighting game (Mvc2 > Skullgirls > Vampire Savior).

I wasn't saying that it would be hard to learn Darkstalkers at all. The problem would be mastering it. Then again, that's the case with all fighting games, so I don't know.
 
I'd really like to have a buddy to play Darkstalkers with. Skullgirls and DS and some Guilty gear are the only fighters I care about anymore. Average to above average skill. PSN MGSArturo17.
 
Playing Vampire Savior on Fightcade would probably be more convenient for me. I mostly play Bishamon and fool around a bit with Lilith and Morrigan on the side. I haven't played in about 2 years, but I'd be up for some casuals if anyone wants, just let me know.
 
I play on Resurrection from time to time. Main's still BB Hood. Wouldn't mind some matches.

(screw pushblocking in this game btw)
 
I'd love to play some Fightcade some time with some folks, interested in this game a great deal.

What system?
 
after a few hours of hammering around, this is one of the two games i got working right on fightcade. So, I guess i'm up for getting my scrubby morrigan beat up
