Vampire Savior [Arcade] - play as Oboro Bishamon (playthrough)

This is a play-through using Oboro Bishamon in the Arcade version of Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire. Read on below for more information...
Oboro Bishamon is a hidden boss in this game. He is a non-selectable character in this version of it.
===== About Oboro =====
Oboro is basically Bishamon who has control of the evil spirit within the Hannya armor that tried to possess him, which means that the armor isn't able to take over and control Bishamon.
Oboro is almost the "Shin Akuma" of Darkstalkers... both have the same premise - a regular version (Bishamon), and a more powerful version (Oboro Bishamon) that acts as the game's final hidden boss in Arcade mode if specific conditions are met. To Oboro's credit, he is actually a far more unique/different character to regular Bishamon than Shin Akuma is to regular Akuma.
Gameplay-wise, Oboro is a very good character to use, his ability to do basic chain combos is immense because of the sheer long range of his sword. Not only that, but his basics have very good priority as well.
===== Additional Information =====
---- Oboro Bishamon's pre-fight intro duration is much longer than the regular characters and it continues long after the fight starts. This is in fact his full special boss intro, which is used when you fight him in single-player mode. Even though his opponent can move and strike, Oboro cannot be hit during this intro. The reason for this long intro is because he is not intended to be selected by a human player, so there is no alternative 'quick' intro programmed in for him.
---- When human controlled, during his pre-fight intro, it does not play the dramatic boss intro music (the one when you meet him as the CPU boss).
---- If you complete the game with him, you'll get regular Bishamon's ending.
---- Despite being a non-selectable character, he has 8 colour palettes to choose from. However, the portrait colours for his [3P] and [3K] colour palettes are flawed colours.
---- His winning screen music theme is the same as regular Bishamon's.
---- He has his own unique BGM theme.
---- In-fight, he is still named as "Bishamon".
===== About Vampire Savior =====
Vampire Savior took all the elements of the previous two games and refined it into one smooth package. A drawback to the arcade version is the fact that the three characters Huitzil, Pyron and Donovan have been omitted. This was reportedly due to memory limitations of the CPS-2 system.
A major change to the gameplay is that it no longer uses a traditional rounds system. Instead, matches are now just "one single round", where each fighter gets a number of "lives" per match. Each life equates to a full lifebar, and is represented by the bat icon(s) underneath the lifebar. Lose all of these bats and you're finished. This system is known to have been somewhat criticized by players due to the fact that if one player manages to stay on his 1st lifebar retaining most of his life and the other player is already onto his 2nd lifebar, it would make comebacks even more difficult and that it gives higher-skilled players even more of an advantage over lower-skilled players.
Make no mistake... Vampire Savior is a work of art, and is definitely one of Capcom's finest games in my opinion. The level of genius and ideas that went into this franchise is incredible. The game is over 20 years old at this time of writing, but I'm willing to bet that a lot of fighting game players have NOT seen absolutely everything in this game yet. ; )

I'm living for the CPUs trying to attack Oboro Bishamon while he's in the middle of his intro😂😂😂 like dang, be patient, he's gonna run you a fade as soon as he's finished🤣🤣🤣

I like how the CPU tries to hit Oboro while he's doing his dramatic entrance, is kinda funny xD

If they reboot this franchise, should they go for an M rating?
