      Other Guest Characters I’d add are Q from SF 3 Final Impact since his entire past and origins is a mystery and he seems to be unnatural, Akuma since his teleportation and Raging Demon fit in nicely with the series, and Jill Valentine/Leon Kennedy who are investigating reports of monsters attacking humans worldwide. Maybe Necro and Twelve from SF 3 Final Impact as the human made creatures of the game.

      @@danielramsey6141 I definitely get where you're coming from, but this logic is precisely why they SHOULD add Dante as a guest character. The reason Darkstalkers gets treated like the redheaded stepchild of Capcom fighters is because of a perceived lack of popularity and widespread appeal. Adding a popular guest character to the mix is how you pull in people who might ordinarily not care about Darkstalkers. Just look at how many Street Fighter fans who couldn't care less about Tekken suddenly became interested when they brought Akuma into the fray.
      One of the best ways to bring something out of the shadow of something else is by leveraging the appeal of the very thing they're in the shadow of.

    Some hypothetical additions that I have thought up:
    * A male Gorgon who can not only turn opponents to stone, but also any part of his body into snake heads or tails to attack.
    * An animated scarecrow cowboy with a crow familiar, who acts as a rival to Lord Raptor and, unlike him, is loyal to Ozomu.
    * An onryo, who is really not vengeful, but very shy and kind of adorable, yet terrifying when pushed.
    * A mantis-man mutant, inspired by The Fly as well The Guyver and Kamen Rider Shin.
    * Harry Grimory from the cartoon. He's an awkward young wizard.
    * Firebrand from Demon's Crest as a guest character.
    * An androgynous angel, who shapeshifts in various "biblically accurate" ways, as the final boss.

    Having a Tengu as a fighter is a great idea! I would pick the Karasu Tengu versus the red-faced tengu, though, as the Karasu Tengu would find into the "cocky bird character" archetype that a lot of video games use, and crows fit the "spooky" aesthetic of Darkstalkers more.

  • @brandonwilliams6119

    The exciting thing about a Darkstalkers 4 is they can bring characters from exclusive versions like Shadow, Marionette, Dee and a grown up Anita for people who have not played or experienced these characters at all.
    I absolutely adore the idea of bringing in the MVC2 Trio of Ruby Heart, Amingo and Sonson!
    Spider-Man alone would bring so much clout to Darkstalkers and continue the fanart he gets with Morrigan.
    I’m a bit disappointed you didn’t consider Tessa from Red Earth at all, she was in Super Gem Fighter and is that Witch Archetype we are missing, she would fit nicely along with the cast, other than that great video.

    Loving the roster, though you missed Cecil, the little boy who accompanies Huitzil! He could easily become a mad scientist character. Give him a zoning moveset where he creates floating turret nodes that pepper the opponent. Make him VERY futuristic.
    Some more character ideas:
    A genie character. Lots of magic, comes from a magic lamp, and could be the final boss of an Arcade Mode, where he grants the wish of the winner… but screws them over. This would leave Dee as the final boss of a story mode instead.
    Arthur could be a copy of the classic Arthur we know, but both a member of the Dark Hunter Association, and a potential superboss for the game. He’s essentially a descendent of the original.
    A Van Helsing. A Dark Hunter who is part of the legendary Van Helsing family line. They could easily be both an arch enemy to Demitri and potentially a rival to Anita.
    A dragon maid. ‘Cuz why not? I say we could use a dragon character, so put her in! Human maid, but can transform parts of her body into dragon body parts.
    There are so many character ideas you can go with. You can have holiday-inspired ones like a Cupid stand-in, Krampus, or Easter Bunny. You could reference other media, like a headless horseman with a flaming pumpkin (Sleepy Hollow), the fairies Titania or Oberon (Midsummer Night’s Dream), or go full-on religious (Azazel the fallen angel, trickster god Loki, the Native American Thunderbird).
    And there’s plenty of 3rd Party reps too. Maybe Dan Hibiki, but he can tap into the Satsui no Hadou more easily. Rose Winters who can use her special powers freely here. A MegaMan Battle Network character who somehow exists despite being made of code. Red Earth’s Tessa as a witch or Hauzer as a dino dragon.
    This video has given me more character ideas to think about! We need more vids like this!

  • @matthewbreen1951

    I’ve created my own new characters too. The Invisible Man who is a Graffiti artist, a Gargoyle Mafioso, a Nine tailed Korean fox girl, a gorgon fashion designer, a pirate skeleton with a ghostly form of Captain Calico,a gentlemanly Hyde, an Arabian Djinn with a lantern for a head, an Archangel, and a character named Sander Van Hellsing. I also incorporated Shadow, Marrionette, Dee, and Anita, as well as the comic exclusive Majorette and Thomas (witch and catman). I also decided to remove Lilith, Jedah, Pyron, and Victor adding them back as DLC but removing them from the main story since Lilith is part of Morrigan now, Victor gave his life for Emily, Jedah is dead, and Pyron was sent back to space. As an added bonus I toyed with the idea of Dhalsim, Blanka, or Akuma joining the game since each one has monster like traits (Dhalsim being some demihuman, Blanka being the jungle boy, and Akuma being a “demon”)
    And the random select would basically be Eleven from Street Fighter 5

    If DarkStalkers can build a large fanbase n recognition, like it once did so many yrs ago for Capcom, I hope that when Capcom does another new verses series, that Capcom work alongside ArcSysWrks as the product development team benefactor. DarkStalkers will finally have achieved 2D/3D model work us fans of the DarkStalkers franchise have always longed for, made by the best fighting game developer currently in the gaming industry ArcSysWrks. Hopefully, we can finally get my dream game crossover, DarkStalkers verses Guilty Gear, developer ArcSysWrks and production Capcom. To me that will be much bigger than the MvC franchise ever was, with no limitations to what these developers can bring into their game.

    40:17. Absolutely not. Nero was already pushing it in this regard, but Spider-Man? No, you cannot put him in here AT ALL. Not because of the gameplay or tone, mind you, but rather this: He completely overshadows the rest of the roster and makes them all useless. Who the hell wants to play as some vampire character from the mid 90's when you can play as one of the most popular Devil May Cry characters ever and one of the most popular superhero characters in the entire entertainment industry?
    You see the problem here? You add Spider-Man to a Darkstalkers game and it immediately turns into "Spider-Man's Grand Makai Adventure" and basically the entire roster would be ignored. Think of it like this: Imagine if a Killer Instinct 2 reboot got made and suddenly it was announced that Ryu from Street Fighter was gonna be one of the guest characters. He would overshadow the rest of the cast and it would immediately turn into "Street Fighter featuring Killer Instinct 2".

      As base roster picks, I'd agree. As DLC picks? Nero is FINE. As a DLC pick, he's fine. Spider-Man is...I think a full blown guest IS actually a good idea, but Darkstalkers is supposed to be a tribute to ALL monster fans (horror tinged or not) and...Vivzie is RIGHT. THERE. I'd still go with Alastor as the best fit, but Stolas could also be pretty cool if Amazon doesn't want to play ball and Viv is the only one receptive. But, if Capcom just really wanted Spider-Man in Darkstalkers in spite of the mismatch and has NO interest in Viv? I would tell them "Okay, but if it's going to be Spider-Man it HAS to be 6 Arms Saga Spider-Man."
