Figuring Out Fighters - Darkstalkers 4 

Darkstalkers 4 character ideas: The first 18 characters from the past three games. Characters that have appeared but have never been unique playable characters *Dee* (He would be both playable and act as the game’s final boss) *Anita* *Marionette* *Shadow* *Khaibit* Brand new characters *Voshtal* - a green devil with the power to control plant life. *Akaen* - a female red oni that can control fire. *Erik* - a once famous opera singer who after suffering an on stage accident was left severally scarred across his face and forced to wear a mask to hide his scars. After finding out that it was not an accident but an act of sabotage, he is now on a path of vengeance. *Ki2Ne* - Originally a guardian fox spirit named Sakuya who now moonlights as a famous J-Rock singer named Ki2Ne. She sees Felicia as her rival and has shown to have a crush on Jon Talbain. *O'Lantern* - a scarecrow with a jack o'lantern for a head that is possessed by the spirit of a dead farm hand. *Quasi* - a gargoyle that acts as the guardian of Dee's castle. *Trexx* - an alien with the appearance of a small blue T-Rex. *Mr Eddy Hyde* - the physical manifestation of the darker half of the kind scientist Dr Henry Jekyll. *Ooblii* - a sentient female humanoid slime monster. *Wechuge* - a Wendigo that was accidentally released from its ancient prison. *Agnes* - an ancient elderly witch with powerful dark magic. *Brynhild* - a Valkyrie from the heavens. *Jolly Johnny* - a former birthday clown turned psychotic serial killer. *Beel* - a dark fae searching for a way to become a light fae. *Sophia* - a young witch in training who was a former apprentice of the witch Agnes but left her after opposing her dark methods. She now travels the world in search of a new teacher to learn under. *Medusa* - a gorgon queen that seeks for a way to rid herself of the ancient curse that causes her to turn others who look at her to stone. *Rakshasa* - a demigod with the appearance of a humanoid tiger who serves as the guardian of an ancient city in India. *Anna* - a demigoddess who is the child of the spider god Anansi. *Kurama* - a young tengu who seeks to free his people from imprisonment. *Ikabod Krane* - a Dullahan or headless horseman. Guest characters *Amingo* *Ruby Heart* *SonSon* *Tessa* from Red Earth *Arthur* from Ghosts' N Goblins *Dante* from Devil May Cry Sorry if this was so long. I had to put this somewhere.

I appreciate you mentioning the "Embrace the Dark" character design contest, as it inspired me to start working on OC ideas. I still enjoy hearing DS fans speculate about possible characters... there's just so much potential for a new game.

Some hypothetical additions that I have thought up: * A male Gorgon who can not only turn opponents to stone, but also any part of his body into snake heads or tails to attack. * An animated scarecrow cowboy with a crow familiar, who acts as a rival to Lord Raptor and, unlike him, is loyal to Ozomu. * An onryo, who is really not vengeful, but very shy and kind of adorable, yet terrifying when pushed. * A mantis-man mutant, inspired by The Fly as well The Guyver and Kamen Rider Shin. * Harry Grimory from the cartoon. He's an awkward young wizard. * Firebrand from Demon's Crest as a guest character. * An androgynous angel, who shapeshifts in various "biblically accurate" ways, as the final boss.

Damn, this was way better than Thorgi’s vid. All of the guests make sense and there is actual new characters. For shadow’s moveset, I would have it use moves from dormant Capcom franchises.

I love thorgis video of his build a roster of Darkstalker 4

Having a Tengu as a fighter is a great idea! I would pick the Karasu Tengu versus the red-faced tengu, though, as the Karasu Tengu would find into the "cocky bird character" archetype that a lot of video games use, and crows fit the "spooky" aesthetic of Darkstalkers more.

The exciting thing about a Darkstalkers 4 is they can bring characters from exclusive versions like Shadow, Marionette, Dee and a grown up Anita for people who have not played or experienced these characters at all. I absolutely adore the idea of bringing in the MVC2 Trio of Ruby Heart, Amingo and Sonson! Spider-Man alone would bring so much clout to Darkstalkers and continue the fanart he gets with Morrigan. I’m a bit disappointed you didn’t consider Tessa from Red Earth at all, she was in Super Gem Fighter and is that Witch Archetype we are missing, she would fit nicely along with the cast, other than that great video.

Loved this video! It’s cool to see someone else who was inspired by the Thorgi build a roster videos! I just did my own today on MvC, on my channel but I must admit this one is definitely better quality lol. Good job!

Honestly, could be Son Son, Amingo and RubyHeart from Marvel vs Capcom 2....as guest character Shuma Gorath could be really interesting

Loving the roster, though you missed Cecil, the little boy who accompanies Huitzil! He could easily become a mad scientist character. Give him a zoning moveset where he creates floating turret nodes that pepper the opponent. Make him VERY futuristic. Some more character ideas: A genie character. Lots of magic, comes from a magic lamp, and could be the final boss of an Arcade Mode, where he grants the wish of the winner… but screws them over. This would leave Dee as the final boss of a story mode instead. Arthur could be a copy of the classic Arthur we know, but both a member of the Dark Hunter Association, and a potential superboss for the game. He’s essentially a descendent of the original. A Van Helsing. A Dark Hunter who is part of the legendary Van Helsing family line. They could easily be both an arch enemy to Demitri and potentially a rival to Anita. A dragon maid. ‘Cuz why not? I say we could use a dragon character, so put her in! Human maid, but can transform parts of her body into dragon body parts. There are so many character ideas you can go with. You can have holiday-inspired ones like a Cupid stand-in, Krampus, or Easter Bunny. You could reference other media, like a headless horseman with a flaming pumpkin (Sleepy Hollow), the fairies Titania or Oberon (Midsummer Night’s Dream), or go full-on religious (Azazel the fallen angel, trickster god Loki, the Native American Thunderbird). And there’s plenty of 3rd Party reps too. Maybe Dan Hibiki, but he can tap into the Satsui no Hadou more easily. Rose Winters who can use her special powers freely here. A MegaMan Battle Network character who somehow exists despite being made of code. Red Earth’s Tessa as a witch or Hauzer as a dino dragon. This video has given me more character ideas to think about! We need more vids like this!

Actually the last collection was in the Capcom fighting game collection about a year ago I think.

A fun one would be Cecil, the young lad that follows Huitzil. Since we've had a time skip, maybe he's repurposed some older Huitzil tech into weapons for personal protection and Armour.

I think this video was good and It’s great seeing Darkstalker get love these days.

Tessa from Red Earth seems like a natural pick to add to a potential new Darkstalkers game. A witch character would fit right in amongst all these monster guys as a classic horror trope as well.

The final boss should be a huge full screen character like the MvC bosses since they're fun to play against (except for the cheap moves and high damage). Maybe one of the demon lords of Makai perhaps? Talbain should have his human form as a playable character with a slightly different moveset or, at the very least, it should be an alternate costume. There should be a mad scientist character that hunts Darkstalkers for the purpose of capturing and experimenting on them. There should also be a magician/wizard/warlock character whose play style is that of a zoner like Dr Strange or JP. Other supernatural related guest characters from existing Capcom franchises could be Chris, Jill, Wesker or Nemesis from Resident Evil, Tessa from Red Earth, Rose or Menat from Street Fighter, Ingrid from Fighting Jam, one of the Monster Hunters, etc. And Akuma should be a hidden challenger if you fulfil certain conditions because he's always looking for stronger fighters. He could even be wearing the Dirty Beret outfit in the Vampire Savior intro!

Capcom should bring back Rival Schools

Huh nice this is awesome, reslly enjoyed this

So basically Thorgi's BtR with your own OCs added. Got it.

I thinking wraith from slammasters 2 would be sick

You are missing out on the Red Earth Characters that actually have a cannon manga series with The Darkstalkers universe

Shadow is good, but since there’s so many Shadows running around (no pun intended) he’ll probably need a different name. Maybe something like Dusk, Bleak, or Dym.

I love darkstalkers and still waiting for a new game

Tessa is a good new character. I mean… WITCH.

I’ve created my own new characters too. The Invisible Man who is a Graffiti artist, a Gargoyle Mafioso, a Nine tailed Korean fox girl, a gorgon fashion designer, a pirate skeleton with a ghostly form of Captain Calico,a gentlemanly Hyde, an Arabian Djinn with a lantern for a head, an Archangel, and a character named Sander Van Hellsing. I also incorporated Shadow, Marrionette, Dee, and Anita, as well as the comic exclusive Majorette and Thomas (witch and catman). I also decided to remove Lilith, Jedah, Pyron, and Victor adding them back as DLC but removing them from the main story since Lilith is part of Morrigan now, Victor gave his life for Emily, Jedah is dead, and Pyron was sent back to space. As an added bonus I toyed with the idea of Dhalsim, Blanka, or Akuma joining the game since each one has monster like traits (Dhalsim being some demihuman, Blanka being the jungle boy, and Akuma being a “demon”) And the random select would basically be Eleven from Street Fighter 5

Too many guest characters for me. As far as a monster archetype the series never had, I always wanted a witch.

An idea I had was "Megaman" But its actually a demon taking the form of a famous character, like Sonic.EXE. Really playing on the goofiness of creepypasta culture, maybe have a Ben Drowned type backstory.

We need a new darkstalkers game

If DarkStalkers can build a large fanbase n recognition, like it once did so many yrs ago for Capcom, I hope that when Capcom does another new verses series, that Capcom work alongside ArcSysWrks as the product development team benefactor. DarkStalkers will finally have achieved 2D/3D model work us fans of the DarkStalkers franchise have always longed for, made by the best fighting game developer currently in the gaming industry ArcSysWrks. Hopefully, we can finally get my dream game crossover, DarkStalkers verses Guilty Gear, developer ArcSysWrks and production Capcom. To me that will be much bigger than the MvC franchise ever was, with no limitations to what these developers can bring into their game.

Demitri 1st Donovan/Lei-Lei 2nd Morrigan 3rd Protagonist of each game is as listed

I think new characters should be based on the gargoyle, invisible man, golem, and hunchback.

I think a more fitting guest character that's probably be more realistic than Spider-Man would be Dio Brando, since Capcom made that JoJo fighting game

I always had an idea to make a new Darkstakers comic to do it on webtoons

I definitely agree with Thorgi’s thoughts on the DMC characters like Dante and Nero! Any one of those Characters will overshadow the Darkstalkers Cast due to the gap in popularity and the Amount of time that both series have had relevance! In order for a Darkstalkers Game to Succeed, it Needs another fighter, or a Spin-off franchise other Another Crossover game!

6:50 I hear what you did there. ;D

Street Fighter characters that can work into a DarkStalkers universe as guest Necro, Akuma, Rose, Blanka, Gill and Oro

I like your Dullahan but you could cheat a little and use who I think is a fan fav anime girl with Durarara's Celty. She could be fun in this universe with the motorcycle and such

no Tabasa/Tessa or the other Red Earth guys?

Firebrand would be a great pick since he would be both a gargoyle and a crossover character. And Arthur is annoying.

The new character ideas are great, and I'd love to see Nero in a fighter :))

40:17. Absolutely not. Nero was already pushing it in this regard, but Spider-Man? No, you cannot put him in here AT ALL. Not because of the gameplay or tone, mind you, but rather this: He completely overshadows the rest of the roster and makes them all useless. Who the hell wants to play as some vampire character from the mid 90's when you can play as one of the most popular Devil May Cry characters ever and one of the most popular superhero characters in the entire entertainment industry? You see the problem here? You add Spider-Man to a Darkstalkers game and it immediately turns into "Spider-Man's Grand Makai Adventure" and basically the entire roster would be ignored. Think of it like this: Imagine if a Killer Instinct 2 reboot got made and suddenly it was announced that Ryu from Street Fighter was gonna be one of the guest characters. He would overshadow the rest of the cast and it would immediately turn into "Street Fighter featuring Killer Instinct 2".

Nemesis or Mr X from resident evil as guests

Dee can maybe seen as Violet Ken.

Take out Jack, from Power Stone, and add Vampire Hunter D, as a guest character. Capcom will sell more Season Passes with VHD.

POKKEMON The end credits

Good video, me personally would like a Slasher based character like Jason or Michal Myers since DS is Capcom homage too horror films

For the algorithm!

Put the Crow in it.

It's only proper to say Victor's full name at all times.

I'm all for a dark stalkers 4 But what they need to do is not to omit any characters but they also need to add a few There should be a dullahan A Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde mad doctor A hunchback A gargoyle A witch A sorcerer A priest A banshee A mutant A swamp creature An insect creature A limia A golem A living doll

I love Amingo

throwing in guest characters but ignoring SF3's Q. for shame

Just do SF vs Darkstalkers crossover already. :)

bof characters would work.
