well written and very well presented. despite it being so underrated, I kind of like how low-key the series has become because it turns the atmosphere into one of those “if you know, you know” type situations. makes things more exclusive for the audiences who appreciate it for what it is.
I remember playing the darkstalkers arcade game at an old restaurant when I was a kid. There's something special about these old Capcom games. Thanks for the vid. Definitely going to pick up the remaster
Yo this video is awesome, I love how you went into the inspirations of the artists like Disney and Hannah Barbera cartoons. I need to get the capcom collection and play me some darkstalkers
Capcim should make a new darkstalkers/monster game .put all their monster like characters into one fighting game. Like akuma, blanka in darkstalkers would be so hype
I really think Capcom would have a hit on their hands if they released a new Darkstalkers game. There are so many assets they could reuse from SFVI to keep the costs down. They could basically have the same gameplay as Vampire Savior with new graphics and I would be more than happy.
33:27 so on paper, the tech hit push block introduced in Vampire Savior seems ridiculously difficult to perform. However, while at EVO, I spoke to high-level players about it and discovered you’re supposed to swipe your hand across the buttons on the arcade cab layout from left to right or right to left while blocking. Do it quick enough and you push block the opponent. Obviously, VSav was created at the height of the arcade scene and not the console scene, hence a maneuver made easy when on the arcade cab. With a little practice, you can do it consistently. It’s ingenious yet also made clear why it’s simplified for the Marvel vs Capcom series (just as they simplify supers) and would likely be refined in a new Darkstalkers game for the future.
Great video, but I feel the need to correct you on a small detail about performance of Darkstalkers Resurrection. It did not flop, it was actually in the top 10 of best selling games for March, 2013 on the Playstation Store charts, at number 7. 1.) MLB 13: The Show 2.) Journey 3.) The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct 4.) Terraria 5.) Tomb Raider 6.) BioShock Infinite 7.) Darkstalkers Resurrection 8.) Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s Decade Duels Plus 9.) Call of Duty: Black Ops II 10.) I Am Alive Bioshock Infinite sold 878,000 units in March. Capcom simply had unreasonable standards for the SIXTH rerelease of a 16 year old game. Please do not fall for Capcom's gaslighting and blaming the fans for their mistakes. Especially when they led the Darkstalkers fanbase to believe that they were getting a new game, but chose to test the waters instead after Street Fighter X Tekken truly flopped, which scared from risking it with another fighting game besides Street Fighter. The failure of Marvel vs Capcom Infinite 4 years later probably didn't help either.
I remember playing one of the Darkstalkers games at a friend’s house around 7 years old. I’m loving Darkstalkers 3- so much so that I’m working on a poetry book based on the characters.
@@SergioHernandez-le8wpwell guilty gear and dbz fighterz are made by arc system works and dbz was heavily influenced by mvc thats why i asked i didnt know if you meant it more for gameplay or graphics.
@@SergioHernandez-le8wpoh ok yeah that would be cool though i doubt it would ever happen but who knows maybe capcom could outsource darkstalkers and give it to ark system works that way capcom wouldnt have to worry so much about the time it would take to make a new game but sadly this is capcom we are talking about and they havent made a new darkstalkers game since what 1998 ? With the 3rd game so i doubt we will ever get anything darkstalkers related sadly besides old ports that we have gotten for the past 20 years. 😂
personally i think rikuo is the best character in all of the darkstalkers series he has one of if not the best design the best moveset and the best lore i loved how at the start he had nothing but as time went on he found a loving wife had a son and found a new kingdom and his story by the end of the 3rd game finished quite nicely. I think he is the best character for all of those reasons i just wish people loved him more for some reason people dont like him but for me rikuo is number 1 im just glad capcom finally is giving him some love by putting a skin of him in dead rising deluxe remaster and the fact that its in the re engine i may not ever get another darkstalkers game but seeing a rikuo skin thats made in the re engine yeah i can live with that.😂
The true fans DO WANT IT. Capcom seems to put it off, and cancel it's resurrection, I believe because everything has to be Street Fighter in their eyes. Or they really hate the OG fans, and want to panter to the woke fans. I really liked the color relationship explanation. Well done!!

This is a love letter to Darkstalkers!
I'm just getting into learning this game and it is hype AF.
hell yeah! You play on fightcade or the capcom fighting collection?
@@trevorpgamer1936 , fightcade. Still at the point of learning things in training mode.
Same

Darkstalkers is a great series and Morrigan Aensland is my favorite character because she's iconic!
I wonder if a animated série could resurrect this game. Aniway great video.
That's even worse
@@koby_mitchell Why? On contraire if its done right it could be asome.
They already did plus several manga and comics. The Darkstalkers OVA was pretty cool
yeah I know but I was thinking abaut a new one with modern designes@@Wsfgjjnkk

I would KILL for a Darkstalkers 3 re-release with the Dbz Fighterz/Guilty Gear game engine
So you mean something like mvc ?
@pumpkinpie1509 no

@pumpkinpie1509 yeah, think Guilty Gear X (gameplay and, most importantly, graphics) but the whole roster is Darkstalkers

LEGENDARY CAPCOM WORK FROM CPS2 ERA. SO MUCH AWESOME
Awesome video of my favorite fighting game! Keep up thr great work ans keep the videos coming! Liked and subbed👊
When 12 year old me took home night warriors for sega Saturn I had only played the arcade original shit blew my mind.
Darkstalkers is better then StreetFighter2 but its many names made it to hard to market it... in a pre 2010-internet era of infomation

🔥Darkstalkers🔥
I have a retro game emulator and dark stalkers is all i play lol
Morrigan is the worst capcom villain
She's technically not. Not even a hero... just like living her life.
@@MangaBear Still a villain, Pennywise is also just feeding himself.
I don't want to talk about this anymore.
She's not a villain and she's never evil
she's care free youthful succubus.
@@christopherwashington2417 That goes around raping and killing innocent people.
She is a villain, toxic simp.
Notice how you come to EVERY Darkstalkers related space, and do shit like this?
