It was weird to see James Chen with that Cammy cosplayer at SF25th. Just like in SF4, he didn't know what to do with her.

But seriously, it was strange not to hear UltraDavid's and James Chen's commentary when at the tourney. Glad I caught the rest at home.

I'm pretty sure he knows what to do with her. ;)

Vampire/Darkstalkers news time! On December 15th 1PM JST (December 14th 11PM EST/8PM PST), there will be the Vampire Darkstalkers Carnival 2012! A yearly celebration of the Vampire/Darkstalkers franchise, with four games being featured that span the franchise's history. The tournaments/games featured are:

  • 1on1 Night Warriors Tournament
  • 1on1 Vampire Hunter Tournament
  • 1on1 Vampire Hunter 2 Tournament
  • 3on3 Vampire Savior Tournament
I'll post more info (Stream, Players/Teams, etc.) when we get closer to the event. Here's a trailer.
 
So how has Vampire Hunter managed to live on alongside Vampire Savior?
Besides Street Fighter games, I can't think of any other series where people still actively play the older games.

I've seen a few vampire hunter games here and there in Japan, but everyone probably plays DS3. It is a different game, so it's fun to play once in a while.
