      Hey jerk. At least "post millennials" are playing classics and masterpieces like this game unlike new and overrated garbage like CoD, Fortnite, and other new games. I can also say some newer fighting games aren't that great either compared to older ones.
      I'm a post millennial as you call it. The correct term is Gen Z btw and Darkstalkers is my favorite fighting game franchise. I bought Resurrection on Xbox 360 around 1-2+ years ago as I wanted to try it out and it was awesome. The soundtrack, gameplay, characters, artstyle, it even has some deep lore. Everything about Darkstalkers is amazing.
      Some "kid" enjoys and plays an old game. How about that? Too bad it doesn't have a sequel, but its for the best as Capcom hasn't been nailing it on their fighting games. SFV was ok, but MVCI was just not ok.

      @@HumanPhilosopherPatriot while I agree with your point, we have Had some FIRE fighting games in recent years, and just games in general. CoD is honestly a super fun casual game to fuck around on with your friends especially like Bo1, Mw3 and Bo2 i see why the more modern ones get hate but still. You don't need to hate on a generation or genre of games to reinforce your argument about old games being good, I think its better to argue to merits of old games over the short comings of newer ones.

    Dark Stalkers def has a special place in my heart.
    This came out during an era where i was gobbling 2d fighters left and right. Between the Snes, Neo Geo, and my PS1 i spent a lot of time on like KoF, Art of Fighting, Samurai Shodown, Battle Arena Toshinden, SF, and pretty much anything else Capcom (Dark Stalkers, Rival Schools, Children of the Atom, Versus games, etc).

      Honestly I think Microwave Mayo would've done better if he stuck to Anakaris. His fights earlier in the tournament showed he was really good at adapting his gameplan with the mummy, and he lost every round that he played Zabel or Gallon. If he more consistently played Anakaris, I think he could've seen jmcroft's gameplan and countered. Overall, though, he did really well and was definitely one of the best players in the tournament.

    This is why darkstalkers is so deep.

You can really be so creative with whoever you choose to main and make them totally your own.

    This game is so cool, but good god, why the hell are the health bars the most confusing thing in the world.
    They go the opposite direction of every other fighting game ever made, have a bright red background that makes you think it might actually be the health bar, or at least that the second health bar would be that color, but it isn't. And the round counts count down instead of up. It's like it was designed purposefully to be as confusing as possible.
    I've watched a decent amount of this game over the years and it takes me 20 minutes to remember how they work every time I see them.
