I love how many people are jumping in to play Darkstalkers with this collection. Absolutely nothing but love for the series.
It feels like there's always been love for Darkstalkers, but never a truly good way for people to show it outside Fightcade in recent time, until this collection that is.
I'm loving it. Hadn't played since a kid. I did think I could just hop online with basic fighting game knowledge. I was wrong. Except for SFII, everyone in the greater Japan area is handing me my ass
@@DragonHeart613 - do your research on how much this game needs to sell in order to consider the thought of creating a new Darkstalkers game…
To use idiom Darkstalker has always been bridesmaid, never a bride. Caocom is so focused on Street Fighter that they tend to forget that Darkstalker even exists let alone has it's own passionate fanbase.
@@Mecha82 I've always loved Darkstalkers more then SF
The pixel art and sprites of this game will never get old
Wow^
Virgin Morrigan vs Gigachad Felicia.
It really is a shame Darkstalkers never really got a comeback like Street Fighter did because there really is a lot to love about the series.
I wished they released a physical copy of Darkstalkers Resurrection for PS3.
@@Kaiser499TV They did in Japan. It may have gotten one for 360 there, as well.
Maybe we will in 2030
@@MarcusRoy
Two? That's less than both MvC3 and MvC2.
Morgan kept it alive by been in a million cross overs
Darkstalkers is still one of the best looking 2D fighters to date.
imagine if someone like Arc Sys is commisioned by Capcom to work on the IP? It would be CRAZY.
@@NataliaNeeSama 3d models in the gg style would look AMAZING
Yeah games like these make me question why people craved 3d so badly in that age, this game is absolutely stunning
@@NataliaNeeSama Not everything has to be GG
@@Raging_Asura It won't be GG, the same way Granblue isn't GG, same how DBFZ and DNF aren't GG. At this point Arcsystemworks or even Frenchbread are the best to do Darkstalkers justice.
The capcom collection was my first time playing any darkstalkers game, and I immediately fell in love with it!
After being reminded of how Victor's body parts change size when he attacks, it made me imagine how amazing Victor could look with the RE Engine they're using for SF6, considering the incredible under-skin muscle flexing they've pulled off so far with, for example, Ryu during his super uppercut, or his win animation.
Meticulously hand drawn 2d sprite work trumps epic 3d realism individual hairs ultra photorealistic nutsack 21 jeff anyday
This must happen
Nah.
I've playn darkstalkers in the past but it was before I knew the mechanics of the game, thank you Rooflemonger, and now I play darkstalkers everyday. It is so much fun and it's the perfect middle of easy and complex in its gameplay. I love this game and it instantly jumped into my top 5 favorite fighting games of all time.
happy to see you jumping into the series!
PS: 15:09 Damn, Dimitri’s theme is so good
Anita is the small girl that always follows Donovan Baine around. She is 2'9' and 29 lbs. Anita carries an old doll that seems to be a memento of her mother. She had always been with Donovan ever since she was adopted by him from her orphanage. Because of her inhuman powers, she was shunned from society. This, coupled with witnessing her parents deaths, caused her to lose her emotions. She regained her emotions back as Donovan lost his humanity in the events of Night Warriors. She is also the probable ruler of humanity, which both Donovan and Jedah knows.
Isn't there a crazy, non-canon story of her growing up and going after the now fully Darkstalker Donovan in one of the games, or am I nuts?
@@vahlok1426 It is actually the ending for both Donovan and Anita in the Darkstalkers collection for PS2. Not exactly considered the canon one but more of a "what-if" scenario indeed.
Not to mention she also appears as a secret fighter in Marvel Superheroes.
She's actually the ruler of Darkstalkers foreshadowed by a prophecy, which Jedah knows about it. The future ruler of humanity is Cecil
@@TheJackx666 you mean that little boy Huitzil wants to protect?
In Japan, there was a split in regards to preference of the game. Daigo (pyron main) for example said he much preferred Vampire Hunter over Vampire Savior. Also said that the arcade scene in the 90s was way more active for the Vampire series prior to Vampire Savior.
Still blows my mind that they don’t/haven’t capitalized on this franchise more. It has 2 of the most iconic fighting game wifus, Morrigan and Felicia. That alone would sell a modern version the game.
Im not into furry but...
Morrigan/Felicia > Chun-li/Cammy
I'd raise you Hsien-ko if it weren't for her (and Felicia) being kids.
It didn't sell whats so mind blowing about that
Facts@@budaroddy
This send me straight to 1998 when I used to play in the arcades while my dad worked extra hours as segurity just besides the arcade saloon... Actually I didnt remember those memories... It was the other day when everything came back to me like a bucket of cold water, I was almost crying, of joy of course, grateful to have those beautiful memories
I work a arcade long time ago stay very late after close play many free games told everyone my name Ryu every round eye believe it and called me that name
I remember playing darkstalkers in the arcades so FUN 😆😆👍
Victor's animations are too good. I have to say though, Donovan's sword getting impatient if it stays buried on the ground for too long is a nice touch as well.
Hopefully this collection does well and we get a new Darkstalkers
Capcom have already said sales for this collection will not impact if a new Darkstalkers gets made or not.
Love the coverage you're giving the Darkstalkers games Max!
I love the Darkstalkers franchise! So much personality, so much fun to watch, so satisfying to play.
To sum up the story between Donavan and Anita. Donavan saved her and the village she was in Anita decided to follow him because she couldn't show any emotions and much like Donavan has mysterious powers. At least that how I remember
Anita couldn't emote after witnessing the destruction of her home village. Other than that, pretty much.
I so wish this had the Dreamcast Vampire Chronicle in it, by far the best version of all Darkstalkers games.
I'm so happy capcom finally released a Darkstalkers collection. I bought 2 copies just to support.
Got an extra copy for an Xbox user? 👀 🤣
Demetri would've been sick in Marvel vs Capcom 3 or in the Streets Fighter universe. I would love to see Akuma meets Demetri
That last thing happened in SNK vs Capcom Chaos
Savior is hardly a bad looking or sounding game, but there's something really special about this era of Capcom that we see in games like the first two DS titles, SF Alpha 1 and 2, COTA and MSH. The attention to detail in each individual character is absolutely stunning (partially because Capcom hadn't started running into the CPS2's memory limitations quite yet) and the vibes has this cozy and unique charm to it.
Finally got to play Darkstalkers online. Didn't win many games, not even make it to Bronze, but I love Felicia and Q-bee. This collection was absolutely worth the price, glad to see Darkstalkers back!
I only ever played Darkstalkers 3 on the PS1, so I've never seen these stages, but loved the individual character themes in the training mode. Now that I have the pictures to associate with them, it's like the darkness in the background is finally gone.
love the cartoony animation of Victor
Darkstalkers needs a remaster ❗
Imagine darkstalkers with guilty gear graphics!
That would be Godtier!!
RE engine makes monsters scary
I have a crazy theory that is already in the works, if you look at one of the new Darkstalkers artwork included in the CF collection, there is this artwork with all the darkstalkers and Morrigan in the center with a hand on her chest, then is Bishamon below and Bulleta(BBH) at the left, I think you can get which one I'm talking about, take a closer look at the characters, I'm an artist, and I know that now in some digital art apps you have 3D mannequins to pose to ease the character drawings and stuff, but these seem like the artist somehow had access to 3D models for every DS character, look closely at Morrigan and Lilith head wings, bishamon armor, Jhon talbain tail, Lord Raptor hands and feet, Hsienko's metallic hand blades, the apple and the wine bottle, all of them seem like 3D models with a filter and some hand made art over them... supposing that the artist just used the models to make a better piece how would he get access to all those models, from what?, I doubt he made them, maybe Capcom wanted to hint something there, to see if the fans catched it, or maybe the artist actually made his art look like straight 3D objects ??...
Another detail is Hsienko's dress flaps, still look geometric and flat, also Bulleta's Uzi looks perfectly 3D xDDD....
Hey Max. I am pretty bad at fighting games, but I love them. So awesome to see you playing these classic games and kickin' ass!
I remember playing these games at an arcade as a kid. It was a little arcade hidden down in the circus circus. Good times. When i saw this was out i jumped on it!
We need more cyberbots forsure. That game is amazing. Didnt realize i was gonna enjoy it this much.
Cyberbots is hype af. A classic Capcom dark horse
@@aegisreflector1239 Cyberbots and Techromancer are both giant mech fighters, by Capcom, that everyone sleeps on nowadays, that are both awesome.
@@vahlok1426 Agreed. I still have a copy of both, Cyberbots for Saturn and PS3 and Techromancer for Dreamcast. I think Capcom will probably do Capcom fighting collection 2 with Techromancer, Power Stone and Rival School games
@@aegisreflector1239 I would love a collection that finally includes Power Stone. What a gem (haha) of a series.
@@vahlok1426 I had that thought myself. A second Capcom Fighting Collection with the Power Stone games, the Star Gladiator games, the Rival Schools games, and others to round it up would be great.
Still the best move is using Jedah's Blood Super vs. Lilith.
That definitely wouldn't fly today in modern gaming and graphics.
Always amazed me that DS more or less died out while SF lived. I'm not trying to start beef but I always found the DS cast (not just Morrigan/Lilith/Felicia!) more interesting than the SF roster.
Dope collection!!
Donavon is still one of the coolest characters in Darkstlkers
Zappa (Guilty Gear) has a very Donavan vibe. Gameplay looks similar just with the whole possession/host theme.
Man, I had forgotten how many JoJo references there were in Capcom's old games...
Loving the classic DS Content
If CAPCOM EVER makes a new game will it be called Darkstalkers 4 or Vampire Savior 3?
Hope this new interest in darkstalkers pushes capcom to make a new game
I put 40 hours into this collection already without realizing. My friend I gifted a copy to loves it also.
Darkstalkers? YES, MORE PLEASE!
Gallon/J.talbain was my main before. I love the character design also really fun to use. His triple kick gives ton of damage and I'm glad he's coming back again
Dude with the sword is just Mohammed Avdol - even with flame stand.
man it is good to see people playing this again
Darkstalkers is a great series!
Which one is the best?
Always loved the darkstalkers series. If they ever do a Capcom all stars/mvc follow up Viktor should be capcoms hulk instead of Haggar (or as well as).
10:25 - Is that Chun-Li's theme?
Awesome Darkstalkers Reunion with the Street Fighter Anniversary series keep up the great work 👍
I wonder how the sales are for this game. if it does well, we might see that new darkstalkers game!
I remember when Darkstalkers released, in my mind it looked like disney level animation for the time and I was like "They should do SF in this art style!"
Not long after, Street Fighter Alpha released❤️❤️❤️❤️
The SF Alpha series will forever have my favorite sprites in the whole franchise.
Wow, Donovan really is Jo Jo character huh?
Yep
Vsav2 was like, “let’s take the best characters out and put in some mediocre ones. That’ll be fine…”
They removed all three characters I play! 🤦♂️ 😂
Hey don’t disrespect bb hood, lilith and Jadah
@@Zeronigel332 all great characters… but not Talbain / Sasquatch / Rikuo tier!
I forever wish that they put Donovan in Vampire savior because he’s such a great character. I know he’s in VS2 but the most played game of the series is VS1
Man this whole series is the predecessor to MvC with the crazy and fast fighting, Vampire Savior is definitely the one that you can just tell the similarity between it and MvC. And if we ever get a new Darkstalkers game it would probably be as similar to the combat in MvC as possible, I mean they have the perfect formula for most characters in those games
I've always loved Darkstalkers more then SF
I hope and pray we get a Darkstalkers crossover with Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak since the expansion had so many classic horror themes.
@@Despots_Blitz86 Thinking more along the lines of Jon Talbain armor that shifts between Wolf and man
Darkstalkers needs a new game by the Skullgirls team.
Now if only I still had my Darkstalkers: Jedah's Damnation Gamefan strategy guide! I don't know why Capcom didn't follow-through with that great title for the world release.
Here's to hope that Capcom adds a "Complete" roster toggle option in an update that adds ALL extra content from the home ports of the applicable titles. It's actually crazy they didn't consider including this in the beginning.
CFC should be the one-stop place for these classics! The JP physical release was SO close to delivering that.
Make no mistake: This is still a must-buy!
Def time for a new Darkstalkers game.
Donovan's story is actually rather tragic. In his ending, he is corrupted by the blood of the Darkstalkers he slays, losing his humanity. In the Playstation Darkstalkers 3, they added a weird Mugen hack type character called Dee, who is a hybrid of Dimitri and Donovan who is supposed to be corrupt Donovan.
Dee's ending after you beat Jedah has the game pretending to continue at first, sending you to an unknown location where you fight an unnamed opponent who is obviously an adult Anita. As soon as the announcer says "Fight!" it fades to white and goes to a credits sequence where Anita visits Donovan's grave, with the scene hinting that she ripped his heart out in that fight.
Awesome matches back there, Max!
Man I love Darkstalkers. I've been playing this collection a lot, but I must say I forgot how hard the cpu is for the 1st game 😂. Even on like the lowest difficulty they can be tough. Could also be from how the timing for the combos are as I feel like in 2 and 3 not only is the game play abit more fast pace, but it feels like combos or special moves are much easier to pull off.
I would probably actually shit myself if they made a new Darkstalkers
We need to see Max and friends just heckle the Darkstalkers cartoon
Max doesn't use air soul fist enough. It's a good angle to keep people on the ground
Ive had this game since it came out nd ive never managed once to get a match online, im on xbox maybe thats it but its been so annoying
Psp version of this as a game that came with psp was dope as hell
So glad I no longer have to emulate this game. I can take it with me to go and play a couple rounds.
Playing the secret characters is always fun. Playing Shadow and watching it possess the opponent after the end of the round. Don't know if it carries on to the next round with your opponent though.
Same!! Thank god I don’t think people understand how convenient it is to have all the Darkstalkers titles I had to emulate them just to play
Vampire Savior is one of the best 2d fighting games of all time and I play it regularly online on PS5. Its too bad its not crossplay and its not really crowded. Because this game is ridiculously good, the controls, the movement, the pace. Vampire Hunter is also sick but the original I don't really like, it has no chains and its a more standard fighter.
Yeah they need to add crossplay
The one thing I never understood about Night Warriors is why, with the exception of Hsien-Ko and Donovan, is their default color pallet set to the HK button?
Beats me lol
Maybe it was copying Super Street Fighter Two Turbo with the different default pallettes
Every once in a while if you ever go to old laundry mats you can find some old gems it's getting harder to find them now tho but in 2005 one place had KOF AND IN 2010 another had soul edge and would play them while I waited on the cycle.
Been having crazy fun w darkstalkers and cyber bots
I like darkstalkers series, this collection allowed to play them for the first time. I have a blast even if there is a lot of blocking.
This game 100% needs a 3d remake.
Why does Victor moves looks like Hulk in Vs. Series and War of the Gems(SNES)?
Not enough ZAPS in this video…..we need more zaps😢
Hope to see Dark Stalkers reboot or sequel series.
Victor is the neutral king...
A very REAL shame that DS Chronicle-the one that has every character in every form a la Hyper SFII (and in the West referred to VH2/VS2 mode as DS3 Special)-was only ever released on the Dreamcast and PSP. And we STILL don't have Ruby Heart, Amingo and playable Anita in there. Still, it's great that Darkstalkers is finally getting the proper fresh chance it needs.
My favorite part of Vampire Chronicle (I wound up, err... playing it through the means I could on the Dreamcast) was how it even had modes for versions that shouldn't exist, like Darkstalkers 1 BB Hood, which clearly shouldn't be a thing, and DS1 Huitzil and Pyron are pretty close to their boss selves.
The music in these games 👍
If we got a new darkstalkers with a good single player mode and the option to use simple inputs I would no life the crap out of it
I had Darkstalkers on the Sega Saturn as a kid. I played quite a bit of Jon Talbain. Also as wifus go I preferred Hsien-Ko over Morrigan or Felicia.
I think that yellow and green victor color is referencing battle toads 🐸🤔
Wassup Max? Good matches bro! :)
Start up vid and first thing I hear is "Alright lets hit some buttons." - My button mashing brother in arms. lmao x'D
Is that Morrigan from Capcom the game ?!?!?!?
Have you checked out the new Bayonetta 3 release date trailer, Max?
I still hear Morrigan's DP as "chowder brain". :p
4 real lmaooo
Man! Darkstalkers looks crisp! Can't wait to play it! I've been out of the fighting game bandwagon for years. I wanna get back into it. What would you guys recommend to start with?
Thanks in advance!!!!
Jagaço hein Max, abraço aqui do Brasil!
Honestly I'm kind of surprised Max picked up Donovan, considering how his moves are..."unorthodox?" BUT THEN AGAIN, Everyone in Darkstalkers is unorthodox, even the Shotos have weird stuff in their kit, like Morrigan's dash, being a jet pack. (I mean....what else would you call it?)
You would think these games would get released with X-men Vs street fighter that’s coming with marvel Vs capcom collection you would think the punisher would get released with the be em up collection that comes with final fight capcom isn’t thinking correct
Zap summon can be mashed to do more damage ^_^
You can do the same with Anita's in Marvel Super Heroes. Funny part is some hits give the opponent _negative_ meter, and if you stun an opponent with that hit, it can drain more than a full level.
Neat thing about Anita is she's basically a mini-Donovan if you think about it. Pretty sure she can even plant the sword.
How has donovans big ass sword never made it into monster hunter yet
Oh yea I forgot…Donavan has stands lol
Anita needs a special to help out... that would be cool.
Good god man, put on the CRT filter for DarkStalkers!!!!😂 Absolutely adore the game, but my goodness it looks ugly in its original form in HD without the CRT effect. Amazing battles!!!🌟
LOVE IT
I really wished DEE was in the Dark stalkers because he is a great character and fusion of Donavon and Dimitri
Haha! I'm just about to hop on this right after A DNF session!
