@@skeetermagee2487Personally I'm more interested about his relationship with Le Malta.Apperantely Lord Raptor considers Le Malta as a little brother wich is very adorable.Haha can you imagine Lord Raptor and Hsien-Ko arguing with each other and in background you have Mei-Ling and Le Malta just getting along and shipping their siblings.
My favorite Capcom character. It saddens me that he's not in many other games because I swear he'd be a fan favorite! I mean look at the equations: - Mobile zombie with retained personality -Guitar that shoots soundwaves -Australian -AC/DC connection -His human form is handsome (plus the Black Sabbath connection) -His zombie form is grotesque and awesome (the fact he's also Eddie the Head is great) - Uses chainsaws like Leatherface and Ash -3:11 That's a personality I can respect on some level, not caring about others seeing your weird side -The most creative set of moves using his body ever -A personality that's part Freddy Krueger part Ash Williams -Electric powers (better than Blanka) - Cute little sidekick with absurd moves (basically Jake from Adventure Time) - The King of Pop references -Has a crush on the best Darkstalkers girl -Malta has a crush on the craziest Darkstalker -Hell Dunk Add that all together and multiply by Scott McNeil and you have a fantastic character
Really!?!? After so many years playing with him After 2 cosplay of him... only NOW I know he's australian? I always thought he was british, because the flag he show all the time!!!
That's probably a remnant of his original concept as a British WWI soldier (his nationality was only changed later because it was initially shared with Jon Talbain, and they felt having two Englishmen was redundant).
This would have made my Halloween. Welcome back. I always noticed a resemblance between Zabel Zalrock and Sammy Curr from the 1986 movie "Trick Or Treat." Sammy burned to death in a ritual, then returned in a record that released a villainous spirit when played backwards. I was under the impression that movie was an influence.
Hey somebody else knows that movie, I can see how it would have had influence on Lord Raptor.The electric powers are both similar, I could totally see Lord Raptor being like the Electric Gremlin from Gremlins 2 and zapping through technology or making giant hurricanes of electric death. They also had Ozzy Osborne in the movie who was a clear Raptor influence.
Nice, great to see that Lord Raptor/Zabel was the next character to be covered. As always, I like to see videos of the Darkstalkers and for you in continuing the series. One thing that disappoints me is that Darkstalkers is a series with so much potential and still has a lot to give but Capcom relegates to the very back. In my opinion, this series has so much more going for it than SF in terms of characters, design and gameplay mechanics. You are very spot on in that this series takes the archetypes of the most popular monsters and spins them in ways that make them entirely unique. Hopefully the Darkstalkers return. After all, they are not dead...
Lord Raptor is without a doubt one of my all time favorite video game characters for how off-the-wall and original he is. He's inspired by some of the greatest rockers in history and even references Michael Jackson! His human form is Hansom while his true zombie form is so delightfully grotesque. He's like an occult more insane version of me! I like to walk with headphones bobbing my head to the beat and I'm a huge fan of metal. I'd definitely love to go to his concerts if I didn't know my soul would be the ticket fee. His play style is insane! He contorts his body while using his bones for spikes and grow chainsaws out of his body. Chainsaws! He takes almost every zombie cliche and turns it on its head! He plays fast hard and can hit for big damage if used right and all the while it looks like he's having the time of his afterlife! He's a perfect representation of everything about Darkstalkers! So why is he stuck doing cameos?! If he doesn't appear in marvel vs capcom infinity I will go ballistic!
Excellent video! Glad that the series continue! As for the next Darkstalkers, I would like to see Jeddah, for alot of reason: -He look cool -His fighting style is quite...unique. -Even tough he only apparear in Darkstalker 3, he is still a major character. -He is voiced by the same person who voiced DIO, so that make him cool no matter what. But really, I be just OK to see another episode of this great series!:)
I'd just like to let you know you're one of my favourite channels on RUclips, keep up the great work and let's all keep the spirit of Darkstalkers alive! Darkstalkers Forever!
I really enjoy these spotlight videos. They are very, very well made, and they highlight what makes Darkstalkers so great: their unique characters and lore. Please keep making them! If I may make ONE suggestion: I'd love just a little comment about the Midnight Bliss form of each character as you make them, since MB is my favorite move in the series. I like how the last piece of art in the Lord Raptor video featured his MB form; I just think it'd be a neat little thing to add and show the unique sprite. Thanks for continuing to make these!
My favorite Darkstalker, if a true MvC4 happens he better be on the roster! Quick notes: -Ghouls and Zombies are kinda the same thing. -The girl at the end is Zabelle aka Midnight Bliss Zabel/Raptor
Lord Raptor now has a new band, in my fanfiction, The Return of the Mobius Bloodline, he, along with Slash beast from Megaman X4, Neon Tiger from Megaman X3, Crescent Grizzly (Grizzly Slash) from Megaman X5 and and a Dark Bloom version of Musa from Winx Club, form a new band caled Corruption, with Raptor himself on Guitar, Slash Beast on Keyboards, Neon Tiger on Base, Crescent Grizzly on drums and Musa being the siren songstress of the group.
Actually Lei Lei is a Chinese Zombie, I don't know why people translate "Jiang-Shi" to Chinese Vampire when it has nothing to do with vampire but shares similar ideas and characteristics with the zombie of the western world
I didn't know there is a Darkstalkers cartoon in America in 1995. :-( They never aired this in the Philippines since 1996 until Mega Man was aired in 1997
I wish his love for lei lei gets expanded upon. That seems like a real funny storyline. But I mean I dont blame him lei lei cute asf
I think it's more like a crush than love.
I agree and it be hilarious to see more of it expanded on
@@Luminus2 Isn't that technically the same?
If you have a crush on someone? You love them?
@@skeetermagee2487Personally I'm more interested about his relationship with Le Malta.Apperantely Lord Raptor considers Le Malta as a little brother wich is very adorable.Haha can you imagine Lord Raptor and Hsien-Ko arguing with each other and in background you have Mei-Ling and Le Malta just getting along and shipping their siblings.
My favorite Capcom character. It saddens me that he's not in many other games because I swear he'd be a fan favorite! I mean look at the equations:
- Mobile zombie with retained personality
-Guitar that shoots soundwaves
-Australian
-AC/DC connection
-His human form is handsome (plus the Black Sabbath connection)
-His zombie form is grotesque and awesome (the fact he's also Eddie the Head is great)
- Uses chainsaws like Leatherface and Ash
-3:11 That's a personality I can respect on some level, not caring about others seeing your weird side
-The most creative set of moves using his body ever
-A personality that's part Freddy Krueger part Ash Williams
-Electric powers (better than Blanka)
- Cute little sidekick with absurd moves (basically Jake from Adventure Time)
- The King of Pop references
-Has a crush on the best Darkstalkers girl
-Malta has a crush on the craziest Darkstalker
-Hell Dunk
Add that all together and multiply by Scott McNeil and you have a fantastic character
What ur not tired of all the morrigans yet? Ok, ok.....have a Felicia
I'll honestly take any character next, I'm just glad to see the series back up and running.
My favorite character was just done, so uh.... Sasquatch?
'Heavy metal bands like AC/DC' Gonna be honest that hurt a little
Really!?!?
After so many years playing with him
After 2 cosplay of him...
only NOW I know he's australian?
I always thought he was british, because the flag he show all the time!!!
That's probably a remnant of his original concept as a British WWI soldier (his nationality was only changed later because it was initially shared with Jon Talbain, and they felt having two Englishmen was redundant).
He's like Beetlejuice, HP Lovecraft and Slayer put together. Love it
The way he moves: Thrillerrr thrillerr niight lmao
You're completely right about Darkstalkers being unique. Best animation assets in any fighting game.
I'm a casual gamer and I find Darkstalkers far more fascinating than Street Fighter.
Yeah. Darkstalkers is a far more interesting series!
I was afraid that this series died. Happy to see it back and great video as always.
I went nuts when you mentioned the part that he resembled Eddie,up the irons!
Its fun to blast the Killers album while playing Lord Raptor. I also like playing Rust in Peace by Megadeth.
I'm hoping Raptor makes it into Marvelv Infinite. He's such a damn cool character and it's a mystery why he wasn't in any of the past MvC games.
Does Lord Raptor Remind you lot of Lobo
@@jalenikezeue4114He reminds me a lot of Wade Wilson actually.
My favorite rock zombie!
Nice. I was a Lord Raptor main back in the day when arcades were a thing.
8:54 I've never felt like curling up into a ball and start dying inside so badly in my entire life...
I always thought Le Malta has a crush on B.B Hood's Dog instead of her.
Lord Raptor going awooga over lei lei is a funny little interaction.
His English va is very charming, but I also enjoy his demonic in-game voice
The track you use at the end of the video is my second favorite song from Darkstalkers. I used to blast that everyday on my 16 inch speakers.
Correction: that is my third favorite song ('Forever Tournent"). My second favorite from the game is called "Revenger's Roost" Good chunes.
This dude doesn't understand that the Zabel Party Hardy beach clip is the most important piece of animation to ever be concieved.
This would have made my Halloween. Welcome back. I always noticed a resemblance between Zabel Zalrock and Sammy Curr from the 1986 movie "Trick Or Treat."

3:54
This guy has been literally dunking on his enemies before it was a thing
Lord Raptor is a mini-boss in the Project X Zone games
Lord Raptor is without a doubt one of my all time favorite video game characters for how off-the-wall and original he is. He's inspired by some of the greatest rockers in history and even references Michael Jackson! His human form is Hansom while his true zombie form is so delightfully grotesque.

Lilith: I can't go on.
Me when I watch Player Select on Disney XD and boy it is painful.
Raptor cracked me up in the dark stalkers cartoon series.
thanks for continuing this series
My favorite character out of the franchise
3:57 the original GEEEET DUNKED ON
Excellent video! Glad that the series continue!
As for the next Darkstalkers, I would like to see Jeddah, for alot of reason:
-He look cool
-His fighting style is quite...unique.
-Even tough he only apparear in Darkstalker 3, he is still a major character.
-He is voiced by the same person who voiced DIO, so that make him cool no matter what.
But really, I be just OK to see another episode of this great series!:)
I'd just like to let you know you're one of my favourite channels on RUclips, keep up the great work and let's all keep the spirit of Darkstalkers alive!
Darkstalkers Forever!
happy birthday scott mcneil!!! :3
What is raptors fav. Movie director
Rob zombie
How about Anakaris as the next Darkstalkers spotlight?
I don't care how many times I watch these. They always hit the spot when I'm trying to relax. Great videos!
10:08 This is the best song out of all the Darkstalkers ones.
Nice video, be sure to come out to my next show. It'll be a hell a performance.
Thank you for continuing this series
Super glad you returned to these. Keep up the good work.
He's a zombie 🧟♂️that knows how to rock. 😀👍🤘🎸🎮
I'd love to see one of Lilith, unless you're doing one of her, then Q-Bee would be cool.
:3 it's back! and with my favorite zombie rockstar!
00-1:25 he's already my favorite
nostalgic gamer information god.keep the excellent work coming boss
9:04 Neither can I, Lilth.
this is why I subscribed awesome video man
awesome channel! High quality stuff, keep it coming.
3:57 OOOH! OHHHHH! GET *DUNKED ON!*
If he is voiced by Scott McNeil that mean he a good guy
Uh, he's sort of an anti-hero in a lot of instances sooo.. sure.
Yeah I mean he was nice enough to save Felicia from some corrupted dark hunters.
Finally these are back.
I really enjoy these spotlight videos. They are very, very well made, and they highlight what makes Darkstalkers so great: their unique characters and lore. Please keep making them!
If I may make ONE suggestion: I'd love just a little comment about the Midnight Bliss form of each character as you make them, since MB is my favorite move in the series. I like how the last piece of art in the Lord Raptor video featured his MB form; I just think it'd be a neat little thing to add and show the unique sprite.
Thanks for continuing to make these!
I've been waiting and boy was it worth it, keep up the great work dude.
BTW I'd love to get some more insight on Q-Bee.
havent watched yet but im really glad u doin these, dark stalkers is criminally underrated
Yeahhhh!!!!! Evil dead
this rocks! thanks for your hard work
Actually the characters were made and named in America so the name was actually re named in Japan instead
At the end of the video, around 10:20, who is the little girl? Is she part of his story, or just some fan art?
Anyone know this song at 4:37?
great video as always!
I want more of this character
Thank you so much ❤️ waited for this one for quite a time
I concur. I too wanna see Anakaris next.
Thx 4 this! Een lookin 4 this character 4ever! Goin 2 watch every vid.
As a musician and guitarist, Lord Raptor is my main! You rock, bro! What’s the name of the theme at 4:37?? I like the theme!😊🤘🏾🎸❤️
I like this guy. Rock is my favorite music
This is such a cool video series! I only came across Morrigan’s but now I’m going to watch all the characters’
ITS BACK !
Well done dude!
thank you 💙
Raptor was listed as a Ghoul which I suppose is a kind of zombie.
My favorite Darkstalker, if a true MvC4 happens he better be on the roster!
Quick notes:
-Ghouls and Zombies are kinda the same thing.
-The girl at the end is Zabelle aka Midnight Bliss Zabel/Raptor
Isn't there also a reference of Brandon Lee as Eric Draven from the Crow? One of his victory stance with a crow on his shoulder I recall.
I just realized how similar he is to Brook from One Piece lol
8:07 I ship it
best ship
I have a few of the original cels from this show of lord raptor
He is so badass
The Original "GET DUNKED ON!"
Lord Raptor now has a new band, in my fanfiction, The Return of the Mobius Bloodline, he, along with Slash beast from Megaman X4, Neon Tiger from Megaman X3, Crescent Grizzly (Grizzly Slash) from Megaman X5 and and a Dark Bloom version of Musa from Winx Club, form a new band caled Corruption, with Raptor himself on Guitar, Slash Beast on Keyboards, Neon Tiger on Base, Crescent Grizzly on drums and Musa being the siren songstress of the group.
aweeet video :)
i love how informative this series is
which character will you be doing next?
Wait this dude adores Lei Lei/ Hsien Ko?
I need to see more of this lol
Actually Lei Lei is a Chinese Zombie, I don't know why people translate "Jiang-Shi" to Chinese Vampire when it has nothing to do with vampire but shares similar ideas and characteristics with the zombie of the western world
Neat how with B.B. Hood and Lord Raptor two of the most villainous members of the cast are ones who either are or where born human.
For the next episode could be Anakaris or Victor.
that was awesome!
I hope to see more! Do Rikuo next!
Can Q-Bee come next?
What's the name for the soundtrack at the end
Josh lawson(kano) should portray this guy live action
Love your videos!! Thank you for these
In Japan Michael Jackson is considered heavy metal.
9:05 i thought it was lord arthas from world of warcraft
I cannot be the only one who gets starscream vibes from lord raptor
Love him
finally!!! dont let this die good sir!
If a Dark Stalkers 4 is ever made, Dante and Bayonetta should be guest characters
I didn't know there is a Darkstalkers cartoon in America in 1995. :-( They never aired this in the Philippines since 1996 until Mega Man was aired in 1997
there is a reason the why it wasn't aired there.. x'D the episodes are still here, you may look for yourself ahahaha!
Who is the pale young woman pictured with him in the end credits of this video?
She is his "midnight bliss" (gender bender) version
Easily the coolest Darkstalkers character ever. Too bad he's hard as balls to play.
Rock and roll Baby🎸🎶🎸🎶🎸🎶🎸💀🎸💀🎸
