/r/Darkstalkers
Darkstalkers, known as Vampire (ヴァンパイア Vampaia) in Japan, is a series of 2D Gothic terror-themed fighting games produced by Capcom during the mid-1990's using Capcom's CPS II arcade hardware. There have been three main entries in the series with two "updated" titles and several compilations. The characters have made many cross over appearances and the series itself into other forms of media.

Either RE Engine like Street Fighter 6, RE7-Village & DMC5 or go cartoony as usual like Guilty Gear/Blazblue/Dragonball FighterZ from Arc System Works?
the Castlevania DLC collaboration universally massively boosted my interest in that brand and characters! it would take a novel to define it but basically it got me to thinking what a Darkstalkers collaboration would be like with Vampire Survivors. even if its only sized like the Contra collection it would do wonders for the fans and newcomers and the brand.
Castlevania DLC has like around 80 playable characters beyond the 20 or so they hinted at ! the remixed soundtracks are flawless!! the map is one of the greatest maps ever!! the 4 players co-op combined with the favorites is something not found in any other Castlevania game. Darkstalkers DLC for Vampire Survivors would become a favorite game among fans and cause people to warm up to the series! Darkstalkers in Vampire Survivors would be way better than cameos/cosplay in Street Fighter games.
Darkstalkers characters would be able to 4 players co-op with each other! the whole roster could be there!
considering Poncle has successfully done business with Konami and bringing Contra and Castlevania over to Vampire Survivors. not sure if licensing Darkstalkers would be more expensive or troublesome to do? I think it may have been Poncle that got the ball rolling for Contra DLC and Castlevania DLC to happen. so they would have to be a big Darkstalkers fans to knock on Capcom's door.
but yea, Darkstalkers could be something more than fighting games through being featured in Vampire Survivors. though for now, could probably use VS's playable roster to try to simulate what a Darkstalkers VS could be like. but officially, it would have more impact!
I think a way that may make it a probability, is for Darkstalkers fans let Poncle/ Vampire Survivors creators / developers know how much they want Darkstalkers in Vampire Survivors !! Castlevania DLC has already earned new Castlevania fans and even veteran Castlevania fans start to care about Vampire Survivors !!
sure its not a flawless game, would like zoom in options and better graphics, but hey, its gameplay, replay value, co-op and action shine. it revolutionizes Gauntlet and shmups in creative open ways, resulting in one of the most successful revolutionary modern genres that has its imitators and fans. the collaboration could even convince Capcom to make a Darkstalkers 4 maybe. but at least Darkstalkers would have an extra place to play in.
Anyone have ideas for new Dark Hunters & Huntresses to join a Darkstalkers 4? We have a dhampir & Buddhist out of Donovan Baine, a jiangshi out of Hsien-Ko with her sister Mei Ling, as well as BB Hood who's based on Red Riding Hood & yet psychotic.
We're gonna need a fresh new batch of hunters. Let's say a Jekyll/Hyde inspired hunter, even a Christian Dark Hunter joins in as a paladin & the Invisible Man/Woman. And any fairy tales or nursery rhymes (such as Little Bo Peep & Little Miss Muffet) to be inspired in creating new Dark Hunters? There should also be Indigenous characters into Darkstalkers alongside Middle Eastern ones like the Arabian Nights.
Any kind of hunter/huntress from all corners of the globe with their own specialty.
Would like for a Dark Hunter/Huntress like Anita to be the protagonist or deuratagonist.
Would you have Darkstalkers 4 continue the story after DS3? Reboot it entirely or both like the New Era of MK?
It’s a good way to introduce the series to new fans as well for all old fans to join in.
Reintroducing the old characters in their stories & designs, as well as adding fresh new ones!
Since SNK’s Terry & Mai, wonder which Darkstalkers would be suited to guest star in a season 3 or future using Darkstalkers?
Which of those monsters could fit?
I want to get into the game's and the CFC is on sale. I know the collection uses the arcade versions of the games but is there anything missing that I can only get from the home ports like character endings or unique modes? To sum it up, is the CFC the best way to get into the series? Thanks in advance.
Happy halloween!!! Another year another year of being abandoned by capcom 💔 But seriously, does anyone have any hope for something that wont be dlc costumea in sf?
Hey, here's a 44 minute video from a great creator with some history and all his ideas for a new game on the roster, art style, gameplay modes, and so on. Very nice watch!
(Mods: none of the flair tags apply, maybe you could add one for content creator videos?)
Exactly as the title says, I've tried going around discord servers but so far no dice
Would love to play with anyone at any level
I am basically a beginner though, I'm also european
If anybody is interested feel free to either dm or send a message here
Thanks!
As we all know Bishamon was a cursed samurai - a Tsukumogami with the cursed Armor.
Hannya & Kien were cursed.
Wonder if they’ll add a Yokai into the mix? Or Oni?
What type(s) would fit into the Darkstalkers universe?
