Day one!!
So Gaf, Savior or Night Warriors?
On a casual level, my brother and I totally prefer jumping in Night Warriors over Savior. The speed is easier to manage and I'm definitely more a fan of that game's stage selection (Victor, Bishamon, and Anakaris stages in Hunter are waayyy better than the majority of what's exclusively available in Savior).
It's unfortunate that the game apparently has a problem with infinites when dealing with higher level play though. Oh well, I'll Savior it up when it's serious time, can't ignore BB Hood either.

Don't have to deal with convoluted pushblock mechanics either. /scrubquote

This is super irritating IMO. Why wouldn't Sony allow for extra trophies?

This series has some of the best art and illustrations.
It really does. The Graphic file for this fighter had some really good art even though it was not really an artbook
Really awesome thing to have if you are a fan of the games.

Like you did in marvel? Pffft
Same. I only found out a couple of days ago that he is suppose to be the protagonist. I always assumed that Morrigan was the main character.
As someone who knows nothing about the series, which characters are the basic/beginner ones? Is Demitri the game's 'Ryu'?
Morrigan and dimitri would be the most shoto-esque characters.

Demitri by far, but you can go a looooong way with Wolf.

Seriously digging the OP title, even if I never watched the show too much. Speaking of watching things, I might as well rewatch the Vampire Hunter OVA.
Oh well, can't wait to show the world how scrubtastic I am at this game on tuesday

I'll keep an eye out on this, one of my favorite fighting series. Night Warriors was a favorite on Saturn, and I still have Darkstalkers 3 (PS1) and Darkstalkers Chronicle (UMD/PSP). May just slap the latter in and see where I left things. Maybe I'll use that 3-mo XBL Gold card I've been sitting on if I pick this up.

Ugh the OVA was good in the first two eps., but then it goes downhill...

Forgot this was coming out...
I've played way too much DS3 back in the day where I've gotten burnt out, but I do love Galaxy's grinding up point unlock system... plus it'll be fun to play this online finally.
I think I only saw the first 2 or 3 episodes back when it came out... maybe I saved myself some pain.

I dunno, I like it a bit. There's definitely better out there but I don't mind watching it from time to time

Can we all agree that DS3 has one of the best character select themes in a fighter?

I think the 2nd game is better than the 3rd as well.
On the fence for this game, remember not liking it much in the arcades years ago.

so they took characters out for the third game?
It was an issue of space, as they couldn't fit them all in the arcade version and sacrifices had to be made. Don't know why they didn't bring them back here like in Darkstalkers Chronicles.

I don't quite get what you mean with your question; do you mean back when the game was in development?

ah...that sucks but whatever...I'm buying this regardless.
I try to support most of the fighting games as I can..even tho I am pretty bad at most of them lol.

He's talking about Donovan, Huitzil (the robot thing, whatever his name is), and Pyron not being present in Savior.
And yeah, as mentioned, it was due to space limitations on the arcade board.
I miss it. I would have so mained it. Was so glad when it appeared in DSC, even if I could only play it for fun.
I can feel it coming over me...

Ugh, I wish next week wasn't busy as fucking hell, I want to play this really badly D:
Hope we can organize a GAF Vampire scrub group or something.

Definitely going to pick this up. Might even import the JP release since I like having physical copies of games.
Been trying to reacquaint myself with the game using the Saturn version recently. I should really look into getting a USB adapter so I can use my Saturn pad on PS3.

Nice OP!
Favorite bit of Darkstalkers trivia: Q-Bee's eyes? They're decoys. Her real eyes are those buds on the top of her head.

You just killed my boner forever, thanks.
Hell, they're even in the PS1 Darkstalkers 3. But, what I surmise from the recent Japanese staff interview is that they wanted arcade perfect replicas of NW
R and DS3, so there you go.Hell, they're even in the PS1 Darkstalkers 3. But, what I surmise from the recent Japanese staff interview is that they wanted arcade perfect replicas of NW
But you couldn't pick Gill in the arcade version of SF III...

For the first day. Then they'll be replaced by a wave of Talbains, Demitris and Sasquatches.
I suspect that they 're looking to use "are people playing DS2 or DS3?" data to assist with DS4 development.

Demitri is FARRR more annoying than Morrigan. Better normals (dat sweep), safer DP, more solid runaway options. He laughs in the face of corner pressure. His drill kick is unsafe on hit in some situations right? I feel like learning what punishes that now is going to help me a ton in that first week online.
I don't think we'll see that many Sasquatches early on though, Ive always felt like he takes a fair amount of effort compared to Talbain or Demitri to really be effective with.
I'm skeptical if that'll be reliable though. How many people are gonna be playing Savior just because it's the more recent version vs. Hunter? Hmm
Nightmare fodder.
Oh, I don't disagree, I'm a Donovan player after all. :/

forgot about this... will probably buy on day one for Xbox 360.
Which will be biased if they do, since everyone will give 3 the first shot, and that will become standard. 2 will likely wither away instantly. If the games were equally regarded in the US, it would be useful- like say a KOF98UM or KOF2k2UM or SFA2 vs SFA3.
3 was the only DS game that got any play in the US really, DS2 was a Saturn exclusive, that's how rare it was. (and was half the reason I bought a Saturn - the other being the ability to import SNK games with a simple cart)
