Work on your neutral game and avoid getting hit in the first place.

Any version of VSav with the extra characters is usually referred to sa VSav Arrange. Though more often than not, people will use this to refer to the PS2 version in Collection since it can be made arcade perfect via dipswitches.

Tech hit is basically an early implementation of push blocking. Air chains are in VSav only, not VS2 nor Hunter2. PSP version is basically a port if Vampire Chronicle for Matching Service on the DreamCast. It's basically the " Hyper" version of DS that allows you to play all versions if the...

The consensus among most DS/Savior fans on SRK is that VSav is where the series really distinguishes itself from other 2D FGs. This is why we all insist that a new DS should retain the pace of VSav.

The key here is to actually tell Capcom what it is the community loves about competitive Darkstalkers. Look at it this way, MvC3 turned out the way it did because the most vocal folk during its development were vets like Fanatiq who kept pushing for a high stakes, broken, touch of death game...

Darkstalkers pioneered chain combos. Most every 2D FG with a chain system owes its existence to the Hunter Chains introduced in VH. Savior on the other hand is its own beast. It's a fast paced game that has a heavy emphasis on oki. The most distinct thing about Savior is the stock system where...

Series arcade release titles with the US name on the left and the Japanese name on the right: Darkstalkers: the Night Warriors (US) / Vampire: the Night Warriors (Japan) Night Warriors: Darkstalkers Revenge (US) / Vampire Hunter: Darkstalkers Revenge (Japan) Vampire Savior: the Lord Of Vampire...

It would be pretty dumb to make a Wii U exclusive update when the competitive community plays on PS3/X360. If anything does happen, I predict it'll be like TTT2 Wii U edition where all that is added is fluff non-competitive modes, but the basic game remains the same.

The problem is that you're holding the other player up to some arbitrary standard, when in fact, their only responsibility is to try to beat you as quickly as efficiently possible (and the same applies to you as well). What the OP needs to experience is classic, 2D fighter "vortex" where...

Actually, what he's describing is something similar to the E3 builld - a build which many players agree was the best build of DOA5.

Patching and balance fixes have nothing to do with how competitive a game is. The number 1 competitive fighting game in the United States, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is one that will never, ever be getting a patch. The community is strong enough anyway that patches aren't needed. All you...

Just make the game like the E3 version where it was easy to get Critical Burst.

Saturn version has cut frames of animation and, more importantly, links that aren't possible in the arcade version.

Neither the PSP nor DC game are arcade perfect. The only close to arcade perfect port of VSav (which face it, is really the only one that matters) is the one in the PS2 collection, and that requires playing with the dipswitches. Now consider the fact that Iron Galaxy is working on this game...

Still wasn't top tier, at least not based on what we know know about Viper's 50/50 wake up game, Seth's "I touch you and turn the game into Marvel" and Akuma and Cammy's sheer offense. Doesn't make him top tier in a game where 80-90% of the cast can get 1 hit kills. Sent neither has the...

Vanilla Sagat isn't even the strongest character in that game (Seth, Viper and Akuma are). Speaking of balance issues thanks to patches. There are multiple cases of patches screwing things up. 3rd Strike rev. 990608 took out "broken" things like Urien's unblockables, stuff that he actually...

Because patches, especially big ones, cost money to put out.

Let me just point out the one, big difference between baseball, or any physical sport and fighting games. Not everyone has the chance to become a top baseball/football/basketball/etc. player, anyone can come from anywhere and become a top fighting game player, as Seth Killian has so eloquently...

Now if only those who bought the game could make it out to events.
