It finally gave me the kick up the bum I needed to learn properly how these games worked. It encouraged me- somehow- to play 2D fighting games better. Capcom: Match of the Millennium (at the best place to pick up NGPC games post-system-death, which weirdly enough was 'this one toy shop in the Departures Lounge at Birmingham International Airport') which, I cannot lie, was one of the most important fighting games I ever played. A couple of years later, I got a Neo-Geo Pocket Color and picked up SNK Vs.
VAMPIRE SAVIOR 2 FELICIA SPRITES SERIES
I'm sure this will come as a shock to you, but my education in the arts of the Darkstalkers took a while! I was only dimly aware of the series at first via Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo (no, seriously, this was my introduction to the series, as well as Capcom's #1 Game, Cyberbots) but I never got the chance to look the series up (didn't have a Saturn, so all that was available was the first game's PS1 port). I was not playing fighting games 'properly' (ha!) when Vampire Savior was new. A bit of personal history, how did this happen? Gonna do things a little differently this time. Capcom 1, #2: Street Fighter Alpha 2 / 3 (don't make me choose), and #1: Vampire Savior, baby. they're poor) but there's one thing for certain. My credentials with regards to fighting games have been documented (i.e. And when they changed it to Darkstalkers 3. Thank God they never changed the title for Vampire Savior, eh? Except when they nearly called it Darkstalkers: Jedah's Demnation. This'll probably turn into a game of its own, seeing how long we can go without mentioning them by name. Christ knows how we're going to handle the regional variations for the first and second games. This page originally had the screenshots as-is, but now that we realise people should've shouted at us for that long ago, we've adjusted them in the most hacky way possible (via HTML- we tried editing them and it turned out badly) to be 320 x 240.Īnd speaking of pains in the my ass, names in this game change depending on the region! Sadly, the Darkstalkers community have collectively failed to come up with a convenient Street Fighter-esque Boxer / Claw / Dictator nomenclature for these changes, so for the sake of brevity (please do not make us type out Phobos / Huitzil every God-damn time) we've gone for what was originally intended by the developers, apparently: we're using the US/World names for characters rather than the Japanese ones (apparently the US/World variants came first so they have legal precedent). MAME and other emulators spit CPS2 screenshots out at a weird resolution- 384 x 224- but this is not how they were intended to be seen because arcade monitors are usually 4:3, right? This is explained in-depth over here. Speaking of screenshots, CPS2 is a massive pain in my ass for this. And after all those people, I finally got to read it. Other Ultra Powerful Pal of Gaming Hell checked it for us as well, so thanks for that too. Because they're better when they're taken live, right? He also helped out with the Darkstalkers Resurrection screenshots, and checked this before we went to print, so thanks for that. Shock and he gave us the OK to use shots from our games. The writer plays many fighting games terribly with Mr.
So six of the normal in-game screenshots we have today are, in fact, from the writer's Fightcade matches with Ultra Powerful Pal of Gaming Hell HokutoNoShock. OH MY GOD YES ONE OF THE SCREENSHOTS SHOWS MY WRITER IDIOT LOST 15 MATCHES IN A GOD-DAMN ROW, IT'S BEAUTIFUL, I LOVE IT
Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire - It's so hot and sticky.
