Lmao, how weak is Pyron's spaceship that his transport beam is just stopped by minor inconvenience? Talbain, Felicia and the Merman just hid and it gave up. Frankenstein just tossed a fake body and it accepted it. Sasquatch and his family just snowballed it out of there.
I always wondered what season 2 would've looked like (if it had one.) Jedah would be the new antagonist from another dimension with Q-Bee as his goofy assistant, B.B. Hood would be a failing hunter using random gadgets out of her basket to catch monsters, and then there's Lilith as Morrigan's bratty little sister who just so happens to have a crush on Harry.
And if it had Season 3 (somehow especially if the quality was still virtually the same), then it'd be an all out war between the heroes, Jedah and Pyron's forces respectively resulting in goofy and mostly stupid moments. And maybe throw in a crossover between Darkstalkers and Street Fighter. Or another Capcom franchise that could work well in Darkstalkers like Ghosts n Goblins.
Never saw this show, but even as a kid I woulda been so damn confused how the tractor beam could lift Morrigan and a whole ass pyramid straight out of the ground, but it couldn't get Talbain out of a cave and then gets beaten by snowballs. I like Pryon being an alien. Makes him like the King Ghidorah of Darkstalkers. But that space ship is so very goofy.
Lots of American shows do that. Sometimes it less bad then others. Like 'Whose Line is It Anyway?' which has ad break just before credits, they at least have another skit during the credits, involving the credits themselves each time so it's something to come back to at least.
Oh, so they did like in SF cartoon latin spanish dub. Most of the Columbian cast was recasted to redub both Van Damme and SFIIMOVIE. Was a god awful acting but consistent nontheless.
@@gonzalotorres5282 Kinda funny that they did that instead of just hiring voice actors that speak the language. That's like what if for English dub of anime they just get the Japanese voice cast and all we get is awkward engrish.
Since the show managed to feature Donovan & Hsien-ko, part of me kinda wished how would they handle (& butcher) the Savior newcomers (Jedah, Lilith, Q-Bee & BB Hood) out of a sense of morbid curiosity. God, I'm weird.
I Imagine B.B. Hood as a Valley Girl, Q-Bee saying Bee related Puns, Lilith as Morrigan's second banana and Jedah as a Babysitter to the Fetus of God (or Baby of God to not be as graphic for the kiddies).
5:43 Dimitri”What do I get out of it?” Pyron: “Power beyond your wildest dreams and ever lasting life” Aren’t vampires supposed to be immortal and super strong???
I think this version of Darkstalkers is interesting because the actual plot is that everyone is a gelatin creature but they have all forgotten, considering the way they all move and emote.
You wake up one morning to find a practically naked cat girl in your room; that’s a dream come true. I mean, it’s amazing that the American censors let that slip by considering that Felicia is not wearing any clothes and she’s alone with him in his bedroom. What an awkward conversation that could’ve been had his mother walked in. “Mom, this Cat Girl followed me home. Can I keep her?”
If there's anything we've learned in life, it's that certain criticisms only work in context like behind the scenes info or playing the source material to learn this stuff which this show barely has any substance of. Otherwise you can get away with stuff like Felicia in a kids show or Bayonetta in Smash Bros by tweaking their clothes to make it less revealing. LOL
Harry is the worst part of this. No one, let alone a CHILD would have his level of cool-headedness and guts encountering Felicia in their BEDROOM!!! If I were him, I would have probably fainted or combusted into flames.
Hell, if when I was a teen I discovered that the cat I found yesterday and brought into my room to sleep with me is actually a semi naked catgirl I would've freaked out, to be honest I would freak out nowadays too but back then I would probably start panicking about panicking cause I would think its a dream and I wouldnt want to end it by getting too excited
I will say that this show has a surprisingly decent voice cast. This was the first and only instance of a Scottish Morrigan for decades and Scott McNeil was so good at Lord Raptor that he later reprised his role for other projects.
This show is a tragedy because it shouldn't have been hard to make the Looney Tunes-ass Darkstalkers into an action comedy and it's obvious that someone on staff really did their homework on the game's story and characters; the difference between this and the Street Fighter cartoon in this area is night and day (though technically it's the fault of the SF cartoon following the movie, which by mandate shoved nearly every SF2 character in). But of course, all that hard work got sandpapered out by the time it left the board room and reached the unfunny writers' hands. And the horrendously cheap animation makes things ten times worse. It must've been hell for those poor underpaid animators to rush out such a shoddy adaptation of the wildly imaginative spritework. Even Harry could've been OK with better writing, as human characters have worked in the games, and the show's premise of monsters teaming up is ripe for the inclusion of a kid keeping these terrors of the night on the side of good.
Aahh, the 80s and 90s, the era of questionable cartoons based on licensed properties for an older demographic. For every Ghostbusters and Beetlejuice cartoon there was at least 10 of these
Is no one going to address Felicia's attire in this? How can that pass the “kid friendly” test? And yes, I know she's wearing more clothing than in Darkstalkers.
@@buchiklop110 late to this, but also The Toxic Crusaders. I'm sure we all remember how totally-for-kids the movies were, especially the first one lmao.
Hah, I said "just powerbomb him!" at the exact same time Matt did. I'd totally be down for a quality, episodic, Saturday morning style adaptation of most of Capcom's IPs, could be fun.
Remember seeing this... and the anime, and yes it odd they added a wizard kid, so basically Harry potter in Darkstalkers lol. I wish the game came back, even if it was a spin off, even like Devil May Cry style game.
@AT Productions Well it always been a trope/cliché, the "chosen one" to save the world or to bring balance etc etc. it depends how good or bad the character and writing is. been around the since books are made and the beginning of media made then hollywood 40's to 90's tropes and even today.
The Darkstalkers cartoon is just too hilariously goofy for me to me to put it in the Bottom 5 Worst Game-to-Animation Adaptations. (And apparently, it reflects the comedic tone of the games better than the otherwise much prettier OVA)
5:46 - 5:49 Look at Pyron's right arm, seems they were using a Fill tool to generate the pattern on Pyron, but it misinterpreted the boundaries for about 10 frames.
I'd also say better voice direction since some of them are good VA but are given poor material to work with along with better writing because jeez, the whole "stop Pyron from capturing the other Darkstalkers and collecting Earth" plan could have been decent but it's kinda Next Mutation levels of dumb and wasted potential. IMO.
Yup, I made the unfortunate choice to check this version out and I only made it through that first episode. Uuooff! Then I watched the 4 episode anime version. Holy shit! The anime one is the adult version.Made me wish for a dark netflix remake in the same vein as the castlevania anime.
So we have Koga vs. Naraku or Bale and SIIIIINDRHIIIII vs. Gabriel Angelos or Eliphas the Inheritor vs. pretty much the entire Soulstorm cast. Hope Scott has more lines on par with metuhl bawxes and Steel Rehn - Rikuo and Lord Raptor already show some promise. 🤣
American Megaman was low-key fantastic. A braggadocious Super Fighting Robot ™ going around yelling “Now I’ve got your power” all the time was hilarious!
Matt as long as your enduring this pain I’ll join you on this journey. Darkstalkers is my all time favorite fighting game series… and it really hurts to watch how bad this truly is. I literally wrote this out of my mind. Hopefully you’ll continue to do it all.
Wow. My nostalgia brain remembers this show looking way better. I'm so hungry for more darkstalkers content, idc where I get it. I'll settle for darkstalkers cereal... or stickers!
Because she's not really a hero. In this show, she's a poorly written antagonist who's mainly fighting for herself but has to fight for Pyron and even Demitri at times.
Imagine the possible Capcom animated universe. I could've seen crossovers with Red Earth and even Knights of the Round given the show's connection to Merlin and Morgan le Fey.
i love the darkstalkers cartoon. my old roommate has the whole series on dvd. we would drink and marathon it. we did the same with street fighter. its a shame we could never find the mortal kombat cartoon from the same era.
@13:01 Really visible garbage area where they didn't finish painting the background. Nice! Shocked that Matt didn't even seem to notice that blatant error.
I used to have vhs of Saturday morning cartoons and I def remember having some of Darlstalkers next to Biker Mice from Mars and probably Life of Louie.
Nothing about Harry's reaction to waking up to find Felicia in his room is believable. Look kid, the cat woman is begging for your help while sitting on your bed just go with it.
So when are we watching the OVA? Speaking of, Lord Raptor’s VA in this show actually reprised for the OVA. To the point that if we, somehow, get a new Darkstalkers, I hope they bring him back a third time, provided he’s still around and active.
Felicia: Yer a wizard, Harry! In what universe is "Grimoire" pronounced "Gra-more-y"? I guess the same one as where Rikuo is pronounced Rikuuuuu. Harry is animated like a CD-i Zelda character.
Yeah but part of Darkstalkers' charm was its silly animations and alike. It wasn't really a dark series nor should it be. It was a blend of both dark and goofy western stuff.
@@dnmstarsi You do have a good point and I did enjoy it as a kid, you know I wish that it had a 2nd season like Street Fighter as well as Mega Man did.
@@stainshield Yeah. Though I will say if it got a Season 2, it needed to get serious and dark as possible. Heck, Mortal Kombat took notes from Batman TAS on its visual look. Should've gone with a Gargoyles vibe at least if they couldn't go dark.
It's cool that it shows the heroes when it shows the ad bumper and the villains when it comes back to the show, did they do that with others back then too? There was this scene in the Simpsons where Milhouse was being chased by a sun ray like 13:59 , surprised you didn't reference it Damn, 17:45 must have been an awakening for a lot of people (NSFW) Okay, okay 21:08 was cool

That's actually a good idea. I like it! Shoot, add in Shadow and Marionette for later episodes.
And if it had Season 3 (somehow especially if the quality was still virtually the same), then it'd be an all out war between the heroes, Jedah and Pyron's forces respectively resulting in goofy and mostly stupid moments. And maybe throw in a crossover between Darkstalkers and Street Fighter. Or another Capcom franchise that could work well in Darkstalkers like Ghosts n Goblins.
@AT Productions Making her more of a Bounty Hunter than a Merc. "They offer more for them in one piece, so..."
I like this and maybe have Morrigan finally get fed up with Dimitri and Pyron that she outright leaves and goes off to do her own thing.
@@dnmstarsiwe need a NEW Darkstalkers cartoon
Blood Fuckers sounds like a Cannibal Corpse song name.
the two good things that this show gave us was a very strangely attractive fishman and Scott McNeil as lord raptor.
McNeil even reprised his role for the OVA, and even then, he was amazing. If we ever get a new Darkstalkers game, I hope he comes back.
Also Trouble Man playing in the end credits.
@@dnmstarsi BABY I'M THE TROUBLE MAN!!
And Morrigan’s accent
Never saw this show, but even as a kid I woulda been so damn confused how the tractor beam could lift Morrigan and a whole ass pyramid straight out of the ground, but it couldn't get Talbain out of a cave and then gets beaten by snowballs.
I like Pryon being an alien. Makes him like the King Ghidorah of Darkstalkers. But that space ship is so very goofy.
Why did you do Ghidorah like that?
The Darkstalkers games should really have cartoon style and on-model characters designs from the show as alt-costumes, as part of a free update.
Maybe for an April Fools thing. Also throw in their voices from the show. Same goes for Street Fighter and even Mega Man.
I like how they made extra sure we knew it was Germany by putting a delivery driver in lederhosen.
"Choose the best Schwarzenegger Impersonator we can afford!"
Now with 50% more dark stalking and trouble men!
They really just put an ad break BEFORE THE CREDITS?? I don't remember a show being this evil in my childhood.
Lots of American shows do that. Sometimes it less bad then others. Like 'Whose Line is It Anyway?' which has ad break just before credits, they at least have another skit during the credits, involving the credits themselves each time so it's something to come back to at least.

This one episode was more awkward than the whole street fighter cartoon
Archaeologists once found an Egyptian temple underneath the streets of a town in Egypt, so yes Matt the scene with the pyramid is accurate.

I would love if everyone who spoke to Rikuo added "You're quite attractive." or "Youre mysteriously handsome." to every conversation with him.
Somehow this one episode alone established so much lore.

It always blows my mind how Saffron Henderson was voicing Gohan in Dragon Ball Z at the same time as voicing Morrigan.
13:00 "How do you sleep at night?"

So the question becomes: from a visual standpoint, which version of Morrigan is worse, Dark Stalkers or Captain N?
@AT Productions you're right. I saw two screenshots that made her look so ugly I thought it could only have been in a show like Captain N.
Is the result of not giving modelers enough time and money to create fitting models, aka MvCI Morrigan, also in the running?
The only good thing about this show is the song during the end credits that's from the Japanese commercial for the game.
Pyron's plan seems quite logical with no excessive extra steps or anything.
I find it hilarious that Ego family probably been staying there most of their lives and they never buried the scientist😂
So we have Koga vs. Naraku or Bale and SIIIIINDRHIIIII vs. Gabriel Angelos or Eliphas the Inheritor vs. pretty much the entire Soulstorm cast. Hope Scott has more lines on par with metuhl bawxes and Steel Rehn - Rikuo and Lord Raptor already show some promise. 🤣

I like how Dimitri is just kinda crap at the tractor beam thingy.
I'm somewhat disappointed we never got a Frankenstein action movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger as Frankenstein's monster.
So when are we watching the OVA?
Speaking of, Lord Raptor’s VA in this show actually reprised for the OVA. To the point that if we, somehow, get a new Darkstalkers, I hope they bring him back a third time, provided he’s still around and active.
16:47 - "I don't like the looks of that!"
Totally wrong approach here, Dmitri. Just wave it in front of her and get her to chase it.
Felicia: Yer a wizard, Harry!
In what universe is "Grimoire" pronounced "Gra-more-y"? I guess the same one as where Rikuo is pronounced Rikuuuuu.
Harry is animated like a CD-i Zelda character.
The same universe where Ryu is pronounced as "Rye-u" and where Guile taught Fei Long how to use his Chi.
