@Petiew DansGame --> PogChamp --> SwiftRage

Playing on the stage Fetus of God: that's what I call a proper quicklook of Darkstalkers.

Delish.

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Oh man, it's LinkyShinks!

I can't believe no one has commented on the fact that Vinny actually beat Jeff in a fighting game for what seems to be like the first time ever on a quick look! Has this actually happened before? I think it might be a first.

Chris G no pls.

SARKDALKERS

Glad to see this but what kind of mental problem happened to get the rights for 2 & 3 on this and not the first one. Just seems freakishly odd but glad this is coming out.

Love watching fighting games, since I'm definitely never going to play them.

Sweet jesus, that smoothing filter is TERRIBLE! Who plays these games like that?!

Yay! Vin and Jeffy!

I'm stoked for this release! DS 3 is the definitive version IMO. Including 1 would be a novelty. Used to play the shit out of 3 on the Saturn with my friends. These are direct Arcade board ports so that's awesome. Only thing that sucks is DS 3 is missing a few characters in the arcade version that were included in home console releases. Arcade boards didn't have enough memory at the time to have all the characters so they released two versions in arcades!

If you are new to fighters or experienced and want helpful basics/techniques check out UltraChenTV on twitch. Here is their youtube channel which they update every week from twitch. FIrst Attach is their show aimed for beginners while Lvl 3 Focus deals more with intermediate stuff. They also do a show just talking about the Fighting game scene and past tournaments.

When you try to watch this video via youtube on the player it says the video is private.

lol

That over the shoulder view is fantastic.

I really like that they tell you stuff like "this character doesn't have a good high/low mixup but is good at crossups", that sort of basic strength/weakness stuff is cool for newer players to the series.

I get that they put in both games to make it a better deal but why would you even bother playing Night Warriors when Darkstalkers 3 is clearly the better game?

Really excited to play this.

What am I missing here?

Over the shoulder view! Heck yeah~

A very unique Fighting series and one I hope Capcom continues to support going forward from this. Also, if successful, they can bring back the cartoon initiative that made the franchise as a whole recognizable to a wider audience.

It's the same filter the Super Nintendo emulators use, 2xSAI It's called I believe.

oh shit, this is a Dave Lang joint?

Regarding fighting game tutorials on Twitch, UltraChenTV does a weekly show called First Attack showing newer players some basic concepts and advanced strategies universal to most fighting games. It's worth a look if you're serious about getting into fighting games: http://www.ultrachentv.com/shows/first-attack/

" Get leady, FIGHT!"

Seeing a non-jaggy font on the speed select really freaked my brain out.

@milkman: They need to stop doing it. I never looks good.

They should either redraw all the sprites or just use the originals as they are.

Weird I actually like that smoothing filter on the characters they looked ok to me

YouTube video is set to private... btw.

J. Taliban, best character ever.

Aerial chains or no aerial chains? Which version of Darkstalkers 3 is this? The original is a buy for me while I'd pass on a Savior 2 port.

Great quicklook, duders!

Darkstalker and the Warriors from Hell?

So are we gonna have a Darkstalkers TNT this week?

Also, congrats to Vinny for beating Jeff in a fighting game.

I can't wait to get this, I'm a huge Darkstalkers fan.

@mocbucket62: TNT this week is Brutal Legend on PC with Tim Schafer

love the sound of fight sticks in the morning

man jeff was totally sandbagging that whole time, ikno he's secretly amazing at this game and didn't want to embarass vinny live. good man jeff

That werewolf has nunchucks BTW...

Man, the animation in Darkstalkers 3 is insane.

That must be CPS3, right?t

I know people have been waiting for this for a while just like the Marvel Super Heroes/Xmen CoA game but I just feel like this is just an HD wet fart of an arcade port. Who the hell is going to use the over the shoulder view/sprite smoothing to play this game? I mean I saw that they added it to the CAPCOM cabinet and asked the same question.

It really makes me mad because every fighter CAPCOM made for arcade cabs were totally awesome and these versions are just terrible let alone not worth $15

No one's teaching basics on Twitch?

A couple to mention:

Rushdown Live - Valle's new series that started yesterday.

They left the original out since Night Warriors is more of an upgrade than a sequel. It added new characters, but all the endings and whatnot for the characters are still those from the first game.

Music in the Vampire Saviors were always so damn good.

Been playing the Saturn port lately, myself. Gallon woof.

That guy is strangely attractive for a fishman.
