Ruby Heart: the lost Darkstalker... OR IS SHE?? 

👍🏿

He means Marrow, SonSon is still an original Capcom game and character

May as well include Son-Son too. All three of them fit conveniently well within a Darkstalkers game.

@@Negajoe I tend to forget her since she is tied to another franchise but I definitely agree she’d fit fine in a Darkstalkers game. Supposedly Ghost n Goblins is also connected since both have the Makai as a setting.

Bring Sonson and Amingo back as well wold be cool

That kind of makes the most sense

I remember that something like that was part of the "Story" of MVC2

That's in the manual.

Lol that’s exactly it

Maybe the idea yes, but Ruby Heart the character I don't think isn't really for darkstalkers, unless she's a captain of a ghost ship or something. Her idle also has too little animation to fit the avatar of the other cast members.

@@Railgun003 I meant more that the basic concept was tossed around in a brainstorming session Before they actually got to work designing things

I could definitely see her as a hunter pirate archetype. Her hunting ghost pirates as her daily basis to get treasures. Like BB Hood hunting down monsters to get money.

I'm banking up tech for this 20? Year old game that I've never played, if I ever end up at a cabinet or tourney, I at least will know what's happening Edit: it must be more that 20 lol it's 2021 30 year old game

Supet ghost kamikaze attack 🤔🤔🤔🤔

@@Guitar-Dog game came out in 2000, it’s 21

Same. I don't care at this point if she was intended for DS4 or not. If they ever make a new DS, just add her, Amingo and SonSon. They all fit perfectly.

Agreed. The same goes for Amingo and Sonson as well. Too bad that would require Capcom to care about _Darkstalkers_ in the first place though; at this point Capcom only cares about Morrigan/Lilith and maybe Felicia.

@@MusicoftheDamned I think the biggest factor holding back a new darkstalkers is the morphing. It would be a LOT of work to recreate all the body morphing from the original sprites in 3D models. My wish wouls be to bring in ArcSys to develop the game with them, as their anime cel shaded style involves tweaking each frame to give dynamic angles. Because let's be honest, while I like MVC3, there was nowhere near the amount of personality in the movements in Morrigan and Felcia than the original sprites (and Shuma Gorath too)

@@MusicoftheDamned Well, I don't think that it's about them not caring for Darkstalkers. I think it's because they lack faith in it selling well. And by well I mean like 1 million+ units out the gate. This is why they only focus on Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and Street Fighter. I think they should try putting together a smaller team with a smaller budget and get it done. The investment would still be positive. They should do this with all their games they haven't touched in a while. Look how good skullgirls turned out and I'm sure it didn't have a half of SF budget.

@@baddabaddabaddaswing Yeah, I vaguely remember hearing that, and honestly, that animation excuse and the simple "creating games costs *a lot* of money (nowadays)" I can understand. It's the other weird excuses, like Capcom apparently believing it can only have one series per genre existing at any time, that get me. What gets me in the case of _Darkstalkers_ in regards to that particular excuse is that _Street Fighter_ and it barely have anything in common, even in terms of just basic aesthetic, beyond just being 2(.5)D fighters. Given how there's always been a vague niche for a more horror-oriented fighter and only _Mortal Kombat_ and arguably _Skullgirls_ get anywhere near that still, _Darkstalkers_ could probably viable if they wanted to actually try. Capcom just doesn't want to take the risk, which is Capcom's prerogative but frustrating all the time. All said, it probably wouldn't annoy me as much it does if Capcom also did anything with _Darkstalker_ characters other than Morrigan & Liltih and Felicia. Outside of whoring Morrigan out, which I guess is at least appropriate for a succubus, Capcon has tended to at best _maybe_ use other characters as one-offs if they show up at all and generally only if they're female. If you're a fan of any of the male _Darkstalkers_ characters, then you've basically been out of luck for literal decades beyond Demitri and Jedah making appearances in really crappy games like _SNK vs. Capcom: Chaos_ and _Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite_ like Capcom is channeling some type of monkey's paw; not like Hsieno-ko got it any better in _MVC3_ unfortunately where she showed up as the worst character in the game. You think at least Talbain | Gallon would have shown up in at least one other fighting game by now since he's a martial artist, but nope. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Just like _Darkstalkers_ seeming chance of returning any time soon.

that's a different sonson

You can actually combo otg from a dhc into it with crouching lk hp i think it is. I watched too many Jwong videos.

Was going to say, the pop up pirate super has a bunch of uses and can do stupid damage if you get lucky

@@chicco5033 Thought it did not connect right if they weren't in a standing position.

@@fakeigniz13 THANK YOU! I was going to mentioned it based on a children's board game game, but I could not remember which one. Never got more then 3 myself, but yeah looked like it could get crazy damage.

@@ReikuYin yeah it doesn't fully connect, but they go in hard knockdown and you can combo otg as soon as they land, the knife throwing thing is indeed inspired by a childrens game where you have to stick knives in a barrel hoping that the pirate's head inside it doesn't pop iirc. Also the super is a 50/50 each time between lp and lk, so it should be 1 out of 16 times you get full damage :)

TLDR she is the long-lost SNK character ripoff version of a Skies of Arcadia character

That's not her at all.

MvC2s artworks actually my favorite.

she says "sublimation".

I mean do all Darkstalkers characters have transformations? Nah.

@@donovanloreman well there’s an “or” in there so there’s more than transforming as a qualifier, noted by the rest of the sentence.

ruby heart+doom or ruby heart+cable are both good and pretty easy characters. Then you just need a good assist like captain commando, cyclops, sentinel, psylocke, etc

@@jmcrofts Woah! Thanks a lot! :D. MvC2 looks really fun with some dose of difficulty. On to the lab now

hi

Hello

He means original characters as in "the character didn't exist before MvC2". Since Cable and Marrow existed before MvC2 (they are Marvel characters) that means they aren't "original"-ly from MvC2
