Ope Awe Problem is the Darkstalkers name isn't as widely known as SF. Companies hate risks when they don't need to take them. Plus capcom probably feels like they'd be competing with themselves because of how they're trying to shoehorn SFV into the esports world.
File2ish That is why I want companies to ask what fans want. Honestly Capcom/Nintendo/Sega have great franchises but don't take risks and stay safe. I want Darkstalkers but the company is being save.

This reminds me of how I wish Capcom would take a risk and reboot Darkstalkers, despite the weak sales of Darkstalkers: Resurrection. Come on Capcom, a random reboot of Kid Icarus worked for Nintendo, so why not give Demitri Maximoff and friends another chance!
Just watched some of that series. Pretty standard for a budget kids series at the time. Apparently the Street Fighter cartoons were done by the same outfit like half a year later? Probably switched because it was a more recognizable franchise.
+Jurassic Reptile Zabel was one of my fave characters in the original game. Top 3 for the game were Jon/Gallon, Raptor/Zabel and Rikuo/Aulbath with Demitri coming 4th. Zabel, for having absolutely no projectiles has ridiculous range with his chainsaw leg and bone spike move.
Is it wrong that each and every single fighting game created by Capom after SF was born turned out to be a whole lot more interesting than SF itself? Leaving crossovers aside (because usually, those require another company's approvement), you've Darkstalkers, Rival Schools, Star Gladiator, Powerstone, Red Earth, Cyberbots, Saturday Night Slam Masters and Tech Romancer
Dude what Dan said man. WHY DO WE NOT HAVE AN SF UNIVERSE GAME!?! It's all right there for the biggest roster in a fighting game EVER. Would balance be an issue? You bet your buns. Would it be the raddest, hypest shit ever? DAMN STRAIGHT.
Maybe back then Capcom was careful of not overloading their main fighting game franchise with crossover characters. Regarding Slam Masters, Gunloc was the very first Capcom character that I know that crossed over from one Capcom game to another (Slam Masters to SF: The Movie The Game). He's Blade in the SF:TMTG roster
this is perhaps the most underrated 2D fighting game franchise in North America. In my view vampire savior is easily one of the best 2D fighting games of all time.
I love how cartoony and fluid they make all the animations. I just gives it so much life and memorable charm. Couple that with the spot-on character designs and you've pretty much got me hooked immediately. It's kinda hard to find a character in this series that's not appealing in some way as opposed to SF which can be hit or miss occasionally for me -Laura-
they reuse a lot of the backgrounds but the gameplay changes a lot especially in 3 so they are similar but not extremely plus each new game had new characters
I noticed as well; Charlie has the same pose and has a third eye in SFV much like Urien. Factor in that Pyron looks like Gill in his portrait, and we might've seen an early clue in regards to Nash and the Illuminati.
Oh wait Zabel the zombie...his stage with a tree...this music...an english flag on his trousers...should it be an hommage to Eddie from Iron Maiden?....I think it can be.
Man, you can tell they had so much fun making this game, with how crazy elaborate the stages and animations on each characters are. They just make them like this anymore.
Since ye asked -- You could hit an enemy who was knocked down with up+any kick in Nightwarriors (DS2), unsure about this one. Up+2 kicks for the super version. Some of the latter had special animations -- Demitri's made him dance on the enemy's back, take a bow, and backflip off. Chain/autocombos -- Again, this may apply only to NW and later, but all characters could use them in the "weak to strong" order (you can skip button presses, but NOT go back). You can chain a punch into a kick, but not vice versa. E.g. LP>MK>HK will work; LP>MK>HP will not. Morrigan's dashes - Try holding LK and then dash to fly (almost) straight up :) Bonus factoids -- Morrigan's Darkness Illusion (raging demon) move has a really short range in DS1, but it's *unblockable*, only in that version. In "collection" versions where her air fireball is QCF+P (instead of U, UF, F+P) this *may* not be the case. In DS2 and later, and possibly in DS1, her standing close HK (makes her spin like a pinwheel; you more or less need to overlap the enemy) will cancel into the DI.
I love the music in this game and in Darkstalkers revenge, is probably the one thing i like more in the prior games, over Darkstalkers 3/Vampire Savior where the music felt more generic for exception of some few tracks.
Overall, I like the Vampire's Revenge OST over other two in the series, but I enjoy DS1's Felicia and Anakaris over DS2, and you gotta love DS3's Forever Torment.
they wanted to make a new dark stalkers, but the re-releases of the the three original games on the 360 and ps3 sold like garbage. so Capcom figured there wasn't enough of a market for the game to warrant a sequel.
capcom wanted to make a new darkstalkers game but the re-releases for the 360 and the PS3 sold like donkey dick. so from that they determined that there wasn't enough of a market to warrant a new game, so they scrapped the project.
i remember back in the early 90s growing up in a small city dark stalkers was only for the rock and roll kids and sf was for the bboys and neighbourhood kids im glad we all came together as a comunity . its such a great game.
Yea. I'm average at fighting games in general and I can make it 4 matches in before I hit a wall in this game. Its hard as balls and some enemies you just gotta cheese to win.
Oh man this whole video gets me right in the nostalgia. The one and only arcade in my hometown had this game (well, Darkstalkers 2, I think). Merman was my absolute favorite character. Of course, back then I just mashed buttons and cool shit happened. Good ole days. Thanks Max for putting this together. Good times.
All of the characters on the actual character select screen look incredibly like the stuff by Fred Perry. I guess it makes sense that he's done stuff on them before, lol
Go online and get the Japanese versions. Even if you can't read Japanese. They're better. Darkstalkers has a better manual, additional intro, additional tracks. Jojo supports pocketstation, has better manual. Both encourage you to learn Japanese. Both games have playthroughs online on youtube if you have trouble with the words.
wait a minute they took it off the american psn store but left it on the Japanese psn store ......another case of japan gets the better games then america once again
I'm sure there's an alternate world I live in where instead of Street Fighter V we had Darkstalkers V And I'd still be disappointed in it and go back to playing Darkstalkers: Third Spook
I really dig this. I've heard of Darkstalkers but never really thought much about it until recently when I watched a MvsC2 upload provided by my favorite Dood :) Max is right. This game does have a charm all its own. Plus It's dubbed in Japanese which makes it all the more wonderful. Thanks for the upload. VERY enjoyable.
Only Zabel can hit you when you're down. Having meter buffs up damage on normals. The closer you are the stronger the damage from fireballs. Fireballs don't outright cancel each other out but use momentum in this game.
Yup. The series uses "fireball battles," and may have introduced them...? Unsure. When two are onscreen at the same time, the second will push the first one back. Certain exception exist, such as the missiles for the robot. It *does* work against the fireballs and fire columns from Pyron, however; the latter simply gets canceled out (happens once during the video).
I come back to this video every once and a while and I just wish capcom would make a Darkstalkers collection for the Switch. Or even better, make a NEW Darkstalkers. Please capcom, PLEASE! Stop neglecting these gems. Don't be crapcom.
Jose Colella She pretty much has to rape as it sustains her life force. Human males are pretty much cattle to her and our world is a feeding ground/ playground for her pleasure.
oh wow, this just came up on my recommends. It's been so long since I've seen this game. John, Raptor (Zabel), and Morrigan have always been some of my favorite characters from this series. And the music really brought me back. John and Felicia were probably my favorite stage themes as a kid.
People saying Capcom should make a new Darkstalkers are CRAZY - they'd just ruin it with shite 3d graphics and bias 'balance' patches, they only way too currently get the game the franchise truly deserves is too sell Darkstalkers to Arc System Works and let them animate the graphics and mechanics.
Watching this video reminds me just how much I'm annoyed at the extent that my main Gallon has been shafted in reason years, always being the cameo never the playable fighter in so many crossovers, the pinnacle being when his likeness was pasted onto Ammy in Marvel 3 as a dumb alt costume, I really hope this changes soon as it gets to a point where playing as Beowulf, Sabrewulf and Cinder (KI 2013) because they have similar moves/appearances to him gets dull. I'd pay good money to see Jon "Gallon" Talbain playable in a fighting game instead of being a background character and most certainly not to be some damn victim of some sick fetish 😠
FuzzyVids Same here, he's my main in that game. I'm just saying that I wish I could one day see Jon in a new fighting game, even if he does an Akuma and jumps to another series.
Hey no argument here on that seriously I would love to see Jon get a proper role in a crossover game. With there being evidence point towards Capcom might renew their crossover contract with Marvel and releasing an MVC4 basically what I'm getting at is if MVC4 does happen please finally put Jon Talbain as a playable character on the roster.
Derrick Haggard I would love to see that happen too, as mentioned I would pay top dollar just to see him included in the game, he would fit perfectly in the game plus it would be nice to see his moves being used by Jon himself especially his Beast Cannon that has been used by the likes of Beowulf, Cinder and Ruby Heart.
MoonlightStrider Yeah that would be awesome. And Darkstalkers came out I think a couple of months before KI so yeah Cinder totally stole Jon's Beast Cannon.
28:01 - LOL, I wish Pyron had given Max a couple of more beatings, seemed like Max was on the verge of legitimate rage and that would've been funny to listen to. Also, I never noticed this before, but the design of the next-to-last boss Phobos is based on the design of the pre-historic figures found throughout Japan that are like thousands of years old.
tbh i prefer Night Warriors over the original. i don't know, it might be a thing i have with upgrades (just like i prefer Super Street Fighter II over the vanilla versions, Turbo included). but still i would love to see Capcom leaving SF aside for a while and bringing Darkstalkers to the eighth-gen for good. introducing some new characters, redesigning others (a new take on their visuals would be cool), and maybe even a new storyline dealing with either the aftermath of Jedah's defeat or some sort of prequel.
I first saw this arcade cabinet in a Wal-Mart in 1994. Felicia is why I kept playing, but I saw the attract mode, and it had a *kung-fu werewolf fighting a Frankenstein's monster,* and I was debating on if I could cram that arcade cabinet into my car and take it home.
Dark Stalkers is easily one of my favorite fighting franchises. Now when, oh WHEN, is Max gonna get around to Red Earth? It needs to happen like, 2 years ago...
Fun Fact: Remilia from the fighting game "Touhou Hisouten ~ Scarlet Weather Rhapsody" has alot of moves taken from Demitiri. (And Sakuya has alot of moves taken from DIO from Jojo Biarzze Adventure : Heritage of the Future, another capcom fighter~ )
Out of all of the really cool characters in this game, Max HAS to pick the fan service shoto character. Also, the in-game sprite for Pyron likes a lot like Guile, lol.
I have a feeling a very specific fighting game is gonna be featured in one of these. Don't want to give anyone ideas though. Let there be a surprise factor, y'know.
I hated the fact that almost everytime darkstalkers characters would appear in other games it was always morrigan, anakaris (might be wrong spelling) or demitri... I wish lord raptor or sasquach or bishamon had been in tatsunoko vs cap instead of morrigan...
People like shoto-type characters sadly. As for Anakaris, maybe because of his peculiar gameplay. I think he's one of the rare characters that can store and use another character's projectile not outright deflect or neutralize it. His specials are fun to look at even if he's slow as tar.
Ah yes i remember reading this on Sega Saturn Magazine as one of those games i never saw in my shores. Still didn't know it started with the name Vampire.
People will hate me , but i always found Darkstalkers more interesting than Street Fighter.
WELL YOUR WRONG! RYU 4LYFE! (just kidding everyone has their own opinions)
no people wont, because is true
I got the same feeling for Rival Schools too
Gabriel Iatarelli kinda of wish capcom would bring it back
mechassault2012
that would be great indeed
The first time I saw Morrigan was in Marvel VS Capcom. Her sprite changed me from a boy into a teenager.
Capcom should take a break from Street Fighter and make a new Darkstalkers.
Ope Awe AGREED👍
Ope Awe Problem is the Darkstalkers name isn't as widely known as SF. Companies hate risks when they don't need to take them. Plus capcom probably feels like they'd be competing with themselves because of how they're trying to shoehorn SFV into the esports world.

The reboot only semi worked the 3ds controls hurt the game a lot cause the controls were cramp inducing
It worked because he was reintroduced in smash bro’s brawl
@@AdrianGonzalez-sh7qm And Morrigan and the Darkstalkers are being added in multiple crossover games
"...although, you are oddly attractive for a fish-man"
"...so I've been told."
ok time to watch that vid again
blip bloop blap "Does anyone know the area code for New York City?"
*dials phone*
(Scared deer face)
And so The Shape of Water was born
Just watched some of that series. Pretty standard for a budget kids series at the time. Apparently the Street Fighter cartoons were done by the same outfit like half a year later? Probably switched because it was a more recognizable franchise.
Finally , one of the best capcom fighting franchises ever made
man these character designs are sooo good
Lord Rapta! Baby!
Hsien-Ko man!
KholdKhaos64 Ray Both Lord Raptor and Hsien-Ko are my two favorites. The two best zombies ever!
+Jurassic Reptile Zabel was one of my fave characters in the original game. Top 3 for the game were Jon/Gallon, Raptor/Zabel and Rikuo/Aulbath with Demitri coming 4th. Zabel, for having absolutely no projectiles has ridiculous range with his chainsaw leg and bone spike move.
+ShinKyuubi yea that's probably why he always kicked my ass in the arcade mode
I miss Morrigan with the eye bags.
Those portraits in the char select screen were drawn by Bengus.
Oh, the character art is Bengus? Man, I miss his style.
Yeah I always thought the eye bags were a nice touch to her. Makes her look more sinister.
Is it wrong that each and every single fighting game created by Capom after SF was born turned out to be a whole lot more interesting than SF itself?
Leaving crossovers aside (because usually, those require another company's approvement), you've Darkstalkers, Rival Schools, Star Gladiator, Powerstone, Red Earth, Cyberbots, Saturday Night Slam Masters and Tech Romancer
Slam Masters and Rival School is in the same Street Fighter Universe i wonder why they don't become as playable character
Dude what Dan said man. WHY DO WE NOT HAVE AN SF UNIVERSE GAME!?! It's all right there for the biggest roster in a fighting game EVER. Would balance be an issue? You bet your buns. Would it be the raddest, hypest shit ever? DAMN STRAIGHT.
Z Williams *Capcom Fighting all stars

He's Blade in the SF:TMTG roster
SlayerofAllLife it's sad not that many FG players know of red earth
this is perhaps the most underrated 2D fighting game franchise in North America.
In my view vampire savior is easily one of the best 2D fighting games of all time.
I always loved whenever you land a hit on Demitri he goes all batty! :)
It's the little touches!
I love how cartoony and fluid they make all the animations. I just gives it so much life and memorable charm. Couple that with the spot-on character designs and you've pretty much got me hooked immediately.
It's kinda hard to find a character in this series that's not appealing in some way as opposed to SF which can be hit or miss occasionally for me
-Laura-
Holy Crap, what is up with this crazy and sweet ass Animations? This is supposed to be from 1994?
Manti Core In retrospect Capcom must have kept their artists in the building 24/7 working.
And to think that some people actually said that SNK had cooler characters and graphics.
I was thinking the same exact thing. They have so much life, energy...
Darkstalkers looks cool man wish Capcom would make more of it
Yup, but they are all extremely similar
Jose Colella Yeah, the 1st two Darkstalker games are the same is just that the 2nd game is a UPGRADE/PATCH of the 1st game.
and there's Darkstalkers 3/ Vampire Savior, which people actually still play online
they reuse a lot of the backgrounds but the gameplay changes a lot especially in 3 so they are similar but not extremely plus each new game had new characters
I don't know about 2 but Darkstalkers 3 uses a health bar system similar to Killer Instinct, where hp doesn't recover after a round
Just gald and thankful i grew up with arcades back in the 90's , these new kids dont know what they missed
Darkstalkers is pretty good.
Anyone else notice Pyron had Guiles standing pose? Coincidence? Maybe.
maybe they used guiles sprite as a base?
Go home and be a family satan.
UniCom *space satan
I noticed as well; Charlie has the same pose and has a third eye in SFV much like Urien. Factor in that Pyron looks like Gill in his portrait, and we might've seen an early clue in regards to Nash and the Illuminati.
He has a lot of guile sprites as base it's really cool honestly
oh darkstalkers is probably one of my favorite fighting games of all time
Love seeing max play darkstalkers. Glad to see more.
In case you'll play Night Warriors too, you select the secret "Akuma" colors by holding LP and MK when selecting a character
Oh wait Zabel the zombie...his stage with a tree...this music...an english flag on his trousers...should it be an hommage to Eddie from Iron Maiden?....I think it can be.
He is supposed to be an undead rocker from the UK, so....
Ok so Fear of the Dark...stalkers...
Actually he's from Australia (like AC/DC).
***** No he's from Australia in the first game too. Look at the map at 9:33
Morrigan,Anakaris,Felicia MvC2 :D
where's B.B Hood?
Thank you so much Max for playing this! This game series is so legit, love it.
This video almost made me cry with nostalgia. I need to play these again. Such amazing childhood memories
Seeing this has put me in the mood for Demon's Crest, personally.
Ah yes Morrigan, the Ryu of the Darkstalkers series
Peedi Piper Ah yes, Darkstalkers, the Third Strike of video games.
Nah, she's the Morrigan of every *other* fighting game ever. Didn't you notice how she's in more crossovers than actual games of her own?
Peedi Piper would that make Felicia the Ken then? Since they're both the only darkstalkers characters that really stay in crossover games?
Peedi Piper The Ryu Darkstalkers is Dimitri :/
Morrigan is the Ken Darkstalkers
Eh... I'd say the Ken of the Darkstalkers series, weaker fireballs then Demitri, but a more forward moving uppercut.
Unpopular oppinion..
Felicia > Morrigan
I remember playing this in the arcade, Felicia was OP.
Man, you can tell they had so much fun making this game, with how crazy elaborate the stages and animations on each characters are. They just make them like this anymore.
Since ye asked --
You could hit an enemy who was knocked down with up+any kick in Nightwarriors (DS2), unsure about this one. Up+2 kicks for the super version. Some of the latter had special animations -- Demitri's made him dance on the enemy's back, take a bow, and backflip off.
Chain/autocombos -- Again, this may apply only to NW and later, but all characters could use them in the "weak to strong" order (you can skip button presses, but NOT go back). You can chain a punch into a kick, but not vice versa. E.g. LP>MK>HK will work; LP>MK>HP will not.
Morrigan's dashes - Try holding LK and then dash to fly (almost) straight up :)
Bonus factoids -- Morrigan's Darkness Illusion (raging demon) move has a really short range in DS1, but it's *unblockable*, only in that version. In "collection" versions where her air fireball is QCF+P (instead of U, UF, F+P) this *may* not be the case. In DS2 and later, and possibly in DS1, her standing close HK (makes her spin like a pinwheel; you more or less need to overlap the enemy) will cancel into the DI.
I love the music in this game and in Darkstalkers revenge, is probably the one thing i like more in the prior games, over Darkstalkers 3/Vampire Savior where the music felt more generic for exception of some few tracks.
bazz Agreed.
Overall, I like the Vampire's Revenge OST over other two in the series, but I enjoy DS1's Felicia and Anakaris over DS2, and you gotta love DS3's Forever Torment.
Capcom seriously needs to reboot darkstalkers
Boss Rage of Darkstalkers
PS: we really need a new verson of this game
they wanted to make a new dark stalkers, but the re-releases of the the three original games on the 360 and ps3 sold like garbage. so Capcom figured there wasn't enough of a market for the game to warrant a sequel.
Actually it was number 7 on the best selling PSN games in March.
I miss Darkstalkers! I wish Capcom would get it together and bring this series back.
ladynikkie they haven't had it together in years...shame really
capcom wanted to make a new darkstalkers game but the re-releases for the 360 and the PS3 sold like donkey dick. so from that they determined that there wasn't enough of a market to warrant a new game, so they scrapped the project.
and milking Street Fighter 4 didn't help them too much either
to each's own sweetheart
ladynikkie Its just kinda of ridiculous that someone would think a new Darkstalkers wouldn't sell well because of a re release
i remember back in the early 90s growing up in a small city dark stalkers was only for the rock and roll kids and sf was for the bboys and neighbourhood kids im glad we all came together as a comunity . its such a great game.
As Max fought Zabel, all I could think of was BOSS RAGE!
"Gonna be trouble, baby I'm a trouble man."
I feel better about myself knowing that even Max suffers to finish this freaking hard game.
Yea. I'm average at fighting games in general and I can make it 4 matches in before I hit a wall in this game. Its hard as balls and some enemies you just gotta cheese to win.
Man you can really see the dark stalker influence on Skullgirls
Oh man this whole video gets me right in the nostalgia. The one and only arcade in my hometown had this game (well, Darkstalkers 2, I think). Merman was my absolute favorite character. Of course, back then I just mashed buttons and cool shit happened. Good ole days. Thanks Max for putting this together.
Good times.
All of the characters on the actual character select screen look incredibly like the stuff by Fred Perry. I guess it makes sense that he's done stuff on them before, lol
I cheeses me off that I didn't pick this or Jojo up and they are just gone forever.
Thank you for mentioning the Capcom JJBA firghting game. I loved that game as well
Darkstalkers isn't gone forever? You can still get Resurrection on PS3 and 360.
Go online and get the Japanese versions. Even if you can't read Japanese. They're better. Darkstalkers has a better manual, additional intro, additional tracks. Jojo supports pocketstation, has better manual. Both encourage you to learn Japanese. Both games have playthroughs online on youtube if you have trouble with the words.
I'm ok with Japanese myself. It's less helpful for a stream though and a bit of a bother.
wait a minute they took it off the american psn store but left it on the Japanese psn store ......another case of japan gets the better games then america once again
I'm sure there's an alternate world I live in where instead of Street Fighter V we had Darkstalkers V
And I'd still be disappointed in it and go back to playing Darkstalkers: Third Spook
It's sad we will never see Vampire/Darkstalkers again from Capcom x(
ShinZankuro concordo contigo
I really dig this. I've heard of Darkstalkers but never really thought much about it until recently when I watched a MvsC2 upload provided by my favorite Dood :) Max is right. This game does have a charm all its own. Plus It's dubbed in Japanese which makes it all the more wonderful. Thanks for the upload. VERY enjoyable.
I always thought it was goofy that Pyron literally has Guile's stance.
Spooky fighting games!? AND POTENTIAL LEWD MORRIGAN!? ARE WE HYPE, BOIZ!?
Only Zabel can hit you when you're down. Having meter buffs up damage on normals. The closer you are the stronger the damage from fireballs. Fireballs don't outright cancel each other out but use momentum in this game.
Heh, I like that they sorta used that in some of the CVS2 grooves. Pretty neat.
Yup. The series uses "fireball battles," and may have introduced them...? Unsure. When two are onscreen at the same time, the second will push the first one back. Certain exception exist, such as the missiles for the robot. It *does* work against the fireballs and fire columns from Pyron, however; the latter simply gets canceled out (happens once during the video).
Nash's halloween costume looks like Victor
His whole appearence is basically a younger Victor
I come back to this video every once and a while and I just wish capcom would make a Darkstalkers collection for the Switch. Or even better, make a NEW Darkstalkers. Please capcom, PLEASE! Stop neglecting these gems. Don't be crapcom.
Morgan and her soul fisting
Gallon(J. Talbain) will always be my favourite character!
Morrigan, my waifu!
Hsien-Ko is mine
She's everybody's waifu
But she is dead! D:
Yeah, I loved her ending in this game...it was clear as fuck that was jizz coming out of her mouth, I dont know how Max didnt got triggered XD
Jose Colella She pretty much has to rape as it sustains her life force. Human males are pretty much cattle to her and our world is a feeding ground/ playground for her pleasure.
oh wow, this just came up on my recommends. It's been so long since I've seen this game. John, Raptor (Zabel), and Morrigan have always been some of my favorite characters from this series. And the music really brought me back. John and Felicia were probably my favorite stage themes as a kid.
Phobos is basically bastion that learned cqc
I'll been waiting for this video for so long
My favorite fighting game next MVC 2
Morrigan's ending with the ultimate S U C C
I love how Capcom classified "Frankenstein" as a monster. lol.
I wish this series would come back. It's awesome!
Bishamon's stage has Hype Dog! :D
0:17 - Ballz 3D confirmed. FInally!
That intro music always makes me so hype!
Can you play skull girls pleeeeeaase max?
Edward Park he has there's old videos from 2013
Ssssh! Cross your fingers.
Edward Park Dood legit said he doesn't like skullgirls
That's why we're crossing our fingers.
+Nico Gaiden really? he looked like he was having fun in the old videos... that sucks
2 things i wanted to do in this game as a kid: see everybody's burnt sprite, and everybody's chibi sprite from anakaris' projectile
Imagine a revamped new gen Darkstalkers game!
I heavily approve of this. Here's hoping we see more Darkstalkers titles throughout the week.
Zabel has best animations confirmed.
A lot of the visuals and character designs in Darkstalkers still hold up to this day and it's a fantastic game. Still waiting on that sequel Capcom.
People saying Capcom should make a new Darkstalkers are CRAZY - they'd just ruin it with shite 3d graphics and bias 'balance' patches, they only way too currently get the game the franchise truly deserves is too sell Darkstalkers to Arc System Works and let them animate the graphics and mechanics.
Max: I played this game so much because it was at a pizza parlor when I was a kid.
Me: ME TOO and a Blockbuster
18:29, if you are still wondering where in Canada this stage takes place, it's Toronto.
I just came to this after watching a dark noob tas run and it's so interesting to see the differences
that Pyron's theme just makes me remember completely of the OST from Super Bikkuriman
The background animation is stunning.
Watching this video reminds me just how much I'm annoyed at the extent that my main Gallon has been shafted in reason years, always being the cameo never the playable fighter in so many crossovers, the pinnacle being when his likeness was pasted onto Ammy in Marvel 3 as a dumb alt costume, I really hope this changes soon as it gets to a point where playing as Beowulf, Sabrewulf and Cinder (KI 2013) because they have similar moves/appearances to him gets dull.
I'd pay good money to see Jon "Gallon" Talbain playable in a fighting game instead of being a background character and most certainly not to be some damn victim of some sick fetish 😠
MoonlightStrider I get by with Beowulf in Skullgirls.
FuzzyVids Same here, he's my main in that game.
I'm just saying that I wish I could one day see Jon in a new fighting game, even if he does an Akuma and jumps to another series.
Hey no argument here on that seriously I would love to see Jon get a proper role in a crossover game. With there being evidence point towards Capcom might renew their crossover contract with Marvel and releasing an MVC4 basically what I'm getting at is if MVC4 does happen please finally put Jon Talbain as a playable character on the roster.

MoonlightStrider Yeah that would be awesome. And Darkstalkers came out I think a couple of months before KI so yeah Cinder totally stole Jon's Beast Cannon.
Damn, when I saw this vid come up in my subscriptions, I clicked it ALMOST as fast as the Mark of the Wolves vid. Love DS, such a good game
28:01 - LOL, I wish Pyron had given Max a couple of more beatings, seemed like Max was on the verge of legitimate rage and that would've been funny to listen to.
Also, I never noticed this before, but the design of the next-to-last boss Phobos is based on the design of the pre-historic figures found throughout Japan that are like thousands of years old.
This true classic Capcom right here. Please bring back Dark stalkers!
tbh i prefer Night Warriors over the original. i don't know, it might be a thing i have with upgrades (just like i prefer Super Street Fighter II over the vanilla versions, Turbo included).
but still i would love to see Capcom leaving SF aside for a while and bringing Darkstalkers to the eighth-gen for good. introducing some new characters, redesigning others (a new take on their visuals would be cool), and maybe even a new storyline dealing with either the aftermath of Jedah's defeat or some sort of prequel.
Finally one of the best FG series ever made.
literally the first fighting game i ever owned. Nostalgia
something about all these old sprites is super awesome too
I first saw this arcade cabinet in a Wal-Mart in 1994. Felicia is why I kept playing, but I saw the attract mode, and it had a *kung-fu werewolf fighting a Frankenstein's monster,* and I was debating on if I could cram that arcade cabinet into my car and take it home.
Was just playing this last night good stuff. I really want a new Darkstaklers game so bad.
Darkstalkers deserves a comeback! Street Fighter IV/V style!
I've always loved the character design from Darkstalkers. Esp. Pyron. They don't do man sized flame monsters like this any more.
Dark Stalkers is easily one of my favorite fighting franchises. Now when, oh WHEN, is Max gonna get around to Red Earth? It needs to happen like, 2 years ago...
I've never played any of Darkstalkers but I would like for Capcom to bring this series back.
Fun Fact: Remilia from the fighting game "Touhou Hisouten ~ Scarlet Weather Rhapsody" has alot of moves taken from Demitiri. (And Sakuya has alot of moves taken from DIO from Jojo Biarzze Adventure : Heritage of the Future, another capcom fighter~ )
Out of all of the really cool characters in this game, Max HAS to pick the fan service shoto character.
Also, the in-game sprite for Pyron likes a lot like Guile, lol.
For a moment I thought this might have turned into a Boss Rage video during the fights with Phobos (Huitzil) and Pyron.
I have a feeling a very specific fighting game is gonna be featured in one of these. Don't want to give anyone ideas though. Let there be a surprise factor, y'know.
Anyone else getting an issue where the video is just black? I am trying to refresh but nothing is fixing it.
Nothing messed up here. Odd.
Victor's animations are god tier
i love morrgian and the music in all vampire games so goog
The soundtrack in this rocks.
I hated the fact that almost everytime darkstalkers characters would appear in other games it was always morrigan, anakaris (might be wrong spelling) or demitri... I wish lord raptor or sasquach or bishamon had been in tatsunoko vs cap instead of morrigan...
Hugh James Cooksley Lord Raptor is a major antagonist in the Project x Zone games.
And Felicia
People like shoto-type characters sadly. As for Anakaris, maybe because of his peculiar gameplay. I think he's one of the rare characters that can store and use another character's projectile not outright deflect or neutralize it. His specials are fun to look at even if he's slow as tar.
i would agree with you but i love morrigan so much i dont mind her being in every single game lol
They also should use Donovan more as well.
Ah yes i remember reading this on Sega Saturn Magazine as one of those games i never saw in my shores. Still didn't know it started with the name Vampire.
Q Sound is still glorious...
Max- He looks like Gill!
Ironic since Gill has a Pyron skin in SFV
3:15 reminds me of Halloween Nash that Max was playing!
