Another difference between the games is that Savior introduced a mechanic known as tech hitting. When you're put into blockstun, you have a certain number of frames to press all six (if you can) buttons. It breaks down like this: 3 buttons: 25% chance of successful tech 4 buttons: 50% chance...

Vampire Hunter/Night Warriors is the same game. It's the second in the series. Hunter is the Japanese name for the game, but when it was released in the US and Europe it was retitled Night Warriors: Darkstalker's Revenge. It's worth noting that there are some minor differences between versions...

Really? I didn't know that. I'm assuming the links are possible because some of the frames that are cut in the Saturn version are recovery frames?

Says who exactly? I don't understand why Savior players look down on Hunter so much. It's a more balanced and all around better game IMO, and I'm not the only one who feels that way. People still play the game, it gets solid numbers in Japan at DCC every year, and it's not any less viable...

I'm sure it'll be like the MvC or 3s re-release where people will buy it, but it won't really do anything for the scene in the long run. They'll pick it up due to nostalgia, but there probably won't be any change in the offline community. I've tried so many times to build an offline scene for...

To be honest, you're not missing too much. Nobody in the States really plays the game since anyone who cares about Darkstalkers is most likely on Savior, and nobody in Japan really plays it either since the version of Hunter that GGPO supports is the European version and not the Japanese...

I can't be the only person who's more excited for Hunter than Savior. Hunter/NW was and still is my main game, and to think that I no longer have to get up at 3 am just to play Japanese people on GGPO is a good feeling.

Ah damn. I search and nothing came up so I thought I was in the clear. Ah well. Hopefully a mod can just merge these together or something.

Totally. I've been trying to change my schedule for the past month haha.

So with the recent announcement of the Darkstalkers Revival collection, I think now's the appropriate time to make this thread. I've been playing Darkstalkers since 95, and I can't tell you how excited I am for people to finally get the chance to play these games. I don't know if we're going...

So I just found out from my boss that if I want to go to NEC this year, I can't use another sick day between now and Dec 1st. As a result, I unfortunately can no longer make this. Hope a fair number of people are able to show up!

Unfortunately I won't be able to attend this one. If I want to go to NEC, I can't take another weekend off of work between now and Dec. 1. As long as these are happening monthly though, I'll be there with the rest of the Boston crew and probably H20 Evil next time.

To be totally honest, I think she's better in 3 than a lot of people give her credit for. I'd say she's more mid tier, but this ain't the place to discuss it I guess.

Technically speaking, she couldn't directly step out of BKO in 3.1. You had to press :f: and THEN step. You're effectively canceling BKO and then instantly using the freestep, but it accomplishes the same thing. It would be nice in 5, but the freestep system isn't quite as good as it was in...

Gill's place is awesome. We're going to start doing weekly ranbats soon and we'd love to have more players!

It is.

It was in 3.1. No idea why they changed that.

Same here. I've only lost once with Helena both online and offline, but I'm pretty sure this just falls in line with what Mamba was saying in his most recent blog post. People don't really know how to fight her yet and nobody's really throw punishing her. Until our opponents start taking...

Yeah I agree with you. I wasn't asking for the 3.1 sidestep in a patch since I know that's not possible. I was just saying that I think it was a mistake to leave it out to begin with. I also agree on the ponytail. It looks . . . odd. I usually just put her hair down when I play so I don't...

This is true, but I feel like neglecting her 3.1 tools was a bad decision on TN's part. Almost every character has something in 5 that helped define the way they played back in 3.1. Tina has guaranteed ground throw setups and air throw juggles, Bass has his super launcher and pickup game...
