We all love Vampire.

(Or Darkstalkers.)

Vampire is such crap. Such fresh, smelly, meaty, tasty, slick shit. Such good stuff.

FighterX- Yes, the music is pretty awesome.. it flows so well with the feel of the game.

Favorites to use: Morrigan, Felicia, Lilith

Like also: Bulleta, Phobos... Hell, all the characters are likable. That's why this game is so good.

And the fighting system is solid as... Very solid.

All hail.

Hey, you won't find a bigger Darkstalkers/Vampire fan than brother Dolemite. I still remember seeing the first game in the arcades and feeling that this was something different. No fighting game has the character design this game has. The animation is fantastic with all sorts of funny little things hidden in the character's various movements. It plays great, too. As far as I'm concerned it's the ultimate "cult" fighting game. I've actually been able to track down a decent amount of Japanese merchandise- action figures, post cards, pencil boards, art books, stickers...I can't get enough. I can't wait until Capcom makes part 4...

Favorite to use: Morrigan, Huitzil (AKA Phobos), Dimitri, B.B. Hood (AKA Buletta), Jedah, Pyron.

I own the original Darkstalkers on PS1 (great conversion- um, aside from all the slowdown), Nightwarriors on Saturn, and, the pinnicle of my collection, Vampire Savior for the Saturn (with the mighty 4MEG RAM cart). No, I don't own the DC version- from what I've heard, there was little point. As for games that tie into Darkstalkers, I have Cannon Spike (DC), Gunbird 2 (DC), MvC 1&2 (DC), Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo (PS1), and Pocket Fighter (Saturn). Am I missing any?

Anyway, it's about time we have a Darkstalkers/Vampire thread. My favorite fighting series ever.

Hell yes.. merchandise! I've seen a picture of some cards... Where the hell can I get them? Or ANY V merchandise for that matter?

I only have Vampire Chronicle (first DC import) and VS with the RAM (LOVE the box) in terms of actual V games, unfortunately... I need the originals.

VS is sorta better than the DC version... but hardly, but whatever. VS is so solid.

VS has more style than any other fighting game, I think. Damn..

So good.

Well, I love this series as well. More of Capcom goodness

I unfortunately dont have original Vampire/DarkStalkers, but have NightWarriors and Vampire Savior on saturn(with 4mb goodness)

The games are beatifully drawn, and quite unique in their presentation. These are not your regular martial artists competing in some tournament, but legendary monsters of horror stories and legends bouting to be the best

And dont forget Dark Stalkers OVA Anime as well, for more DS goodness

I am also a big fan of the Vampire series, I hope Capcom will someday release a new one with nice high res. instead of sprite rips like they always do

My favorite character, this should be easy... Jon Talbain

Hey Dolemite, do they have any cool Gallon / Jon Talbain mechandise; figures, art, anything... he doesn't seem to get as much stuff as say Felicia or Morrigan, so if I could find some cool stuff or at least know it exists then I would be able to search for it ^_^

**Metal_Slug** · 29 May 2002, 05:58 PM

It's funny because the characters looks pretty damn nice in VS (compared to when Morrigan is thrown in CvS)... World of difference, really.

I never liked Gallon too much.... I hate that damn multiple 'fly forward blue streak' move...

I'd love to have a wall scroll of the VS cover art... Too bad I've never seen any...

Was Bulleta a charge character in the second Vampire?

VS... lately, it is one of the few games I can play regularly...

Well a few years ago I had the chance to buy a Vampire arcade machine for about 600 bucks. Well this was when I was just into college and stupid me refused-- now that I think back I should have bought it-- 600 bucks is not much to pay for this amazing game...

Anyway, I like the DC version a little better because the Saturn verison's characters seem to be squished a bit...but that's just my opinion...

I picked up a really sweet B.B. Hood figure at Toys r Us a while back...and yes, B.B. Hood is my favorite character in the Vampire series and in MvC2--she rocks beyond belief and there's nothing like whooping Magneto or sentinel with a little girl...

You may have met your match! I like me some Vampire, man, lemme tell ya

It's nice to find fellow fans. I've even got an intelligent discussion about it going on at Gamefaqs, answering special moves questions and what not. I just brought the DC version recently, and let me tell you, it's pretty nice. It's a good "what if" game, with countless possibilities. I also have Vampire Savior and Hunter on Saturn BTW.

The characters are just so well fleshed out and indescribably cool! All the little subtleties and animations are truely a sight to behold. It's no wonder I used to ride 5+ miles on my bike every weekend just to go play Darkstalkers 1 at a convienience store ^_^

My favs are Demitri, Bishamon, Jedah, Morrigan, Phobos, Talbain, Rikuo ( Screw jet owns ), Felecia, Donovan, Lilith, Anakaris, and Q-Bee! I like basically everyone on the game, and try to rotate regularly.

You know, I wish that it caught on here in America. It's one of the most beautifully animated, balanced, and addictive fighters I've ever played. This game is a testament to the wonders of 2-D. How can anyone or any company ( Sony ) would want it to NOT be on their systems in abundance? I hope things will change now that Capcom vs. SNK 2 is on the PS2 and MVC 2 is coming to PS2 and X-Box.

Vampire owns j000!
