Let's fight! For Darkstalkers 4!

THE KingofSarus

Capcom's Yoshinori Ono thinks fans should collect signatures if they want a new Darkstalkers title to be made. He posted this message on his Twitter account.

What can fans do to get Darkstalkers 4 made?

Ono: [Please do a] signature collecting campaign! It [will be] sent to Capcom USA!

A thread over on Capcom-Unity has gathered a number of signatures already, so if you'd like to see a new Darkstalkers title, hit the link and let Capcom know.

C'mon you guys! You know you want this!

Do it for this new era of fighting games!!!

Chrissie

I just joined and posted on that thread~ ^^ Hopefully they will make a new game! =)

I've never played any of the Darkstalkers games before. Do they really live up to the hype or are people just overblowing them like they do for GTA?

Hiroy

Darkstalkers is a really flashy fighter. Cool cast and a twisted comedic sense of violence. Other than that, I got pretty bored playing it alone. There wasn't alot of single player features. I'm sure being current gen would fix that.

Hard to say since, by default, they're really old games at this point, so they may not be up to snuff with current standards, and of course theres going to be some nostalgia built in.

But I enjoyed the hell out of part 2, it was my favorite fighter for a looooong time. I was unbeatable as Talbain, and was forbidden from using him in matches against friends.

It's because the last game (Darkstalkers 3) was made in 1997.

Dude… it's been 13 years. People are craving for a new game with new monsters.

Street Fighter was the same way. It took them 10 years to finally make Street Fighter IV.

I want a new Darkstalkers dammit!

@robbybedfart:

I figured…

Robby

….there was a Darkstalkers 3?

Accelerator

People want Darkstalkers 4 more than Rival Schools 3? Really? FUCKING REALLY?

Hiroy

@bunshindattebayo:

People want Darkstalkers 4 more than Rival Schools 3? Really? FUCKING REALLY?

Yes. As much as I like Rival Schools, it does not have any flavor to warrant a worldwide release in this generation. That and RS isn't all that great.

THE KingofSarus

@robbybedfart:

….there was a Darkstalkers 3?

Hurrr hurrr hurrr~!

I know you're kidding and all, but B. B. Hood appearing in Marvel vs Capcom 2 should had been a give away.

@bunshindattebayo:

Really fucking really.

@Hiroy:

Yes. As much as I like Rival Schools, it does not have any flavor to warrant a worldwide release in this generation. That and RS isn't all that great.

Truth.

ChesCa

Unfortunately, I've never had to pleasure of playing any Darkstalkers game.
However, I have played Marvel vs Capcom 2.
3 words: Baby. Bonnie. Hood.
That's right, if I ever get this game, it's so I can play as a little girl.
Where's my machine gun?

GuetaMinute

For a minute there I thought this would be related to Brawl. "Let's fight for our friends"

Hell yeah!

She better appear in Marvel vs Capcom 3.

I couldn't think of something else…

I'm sorry.

Syan Strife

I'd prefer Rival Schools. Darkstalkers is overrated. Decent, but overrated.

THE KingofSarus

A wild Hater appeared!

Syan Strife

Wild Hater is watching cautiously… for KoS's next banning

Won't be long now. :P

THE KingofSarus

Hahahaha! See?! You're such a fucking hater dude!

Quit hatin' and support Darkstalkers 4!

Syan Strife

Not hating. Just know trends. Trend is the dedicated fanboys want DS4 but it won't happen, and that KoS gets banned quickly.

And I will never support DS4.

THE KingofSarus

@Syan:

Not hating.

Yes you are.

Just know trends.

and that's hating and you know it very well.

Trend is the dedicated fanboys want DS4 but it won't happen,

You're acting like Darkstalkers 3 came out last night.

Darkstalkers 4 deserves to be made.

Especially since Street Fighter, VS. series and other fighting games are coming out again.

and that KoS gets banned quickly.

Thanks to haters like you.

And I will never support DS4.

Get the fuck out of here Syan!!!

Syan Strife

@THE:

Yes you are.

Nope. Just don't care about DS.

and that's hating and you know it very well.

No. That's being informed.

You're acting like Darkstalkers 3 came out last night.

Darkstalkers 4 deserves to be made.

No. It doesn't. I may get made, but that doesn't mean it deserves to be.

Especially since Street Fighter, VS. series and other fighting games are coming out again.

Good fighting games that aren't just Street Fighter: Monster Edition can come out any time they want.

Thanks to haters like you.

Not hating. And I've never complained about you. I love you, you crazy bastard! No homo.

Get the fuck out of here Syan!!!

I go where I wanna go. Make me leave, little boy.

_> Where's Rican when you need him…

Aw. KoS needs Rican to make informed posts for him!_

GuetaMinute

Little Halo love invading your thread, KOS, but defending you I suppose

THE KingofSarus

@Syan:

Nope. Just don't care about DS.

Well… there you go. Get out!

No. That's being informed.

No. That's being a hater.

No. It doesn't. I may get made, but that doesn't mean it deserves to be.

Give me a GOOD reason why it doesn't deserve to be made?

Good fighting games that aren't just Street Fighter: Monster Edition can come out any time they want.

Oh, you don't say heh?

"Street Fighter: Monster Edition"

I see now…

Not hating. And I've never complained about you. I love you, you crazy bastard! No homo.

Ewww! Stop being gay to me!! Bastard! DX

I go where I wanna go. Make me leave, little boy.

Why I gotta be a "boy"?! Racist!

Aw. KoS needs Rican to make informed posts for him!

No, I need him to hurt your feelings.

I'm just here to inform you about your haterism.

@ZeArmyOfHalen:

Little Halo love invading your thread, KOS, but defending you I suppose

Hahahahaha!

That's just my wittle buddy being himself~!

He just wuvs to hate~!!! Don'cha boy~?

Syan Strife

@THE:

Because it's just Monster Mash: The Game with Street Fighter gameplay.

And hate makes me stronger. I just had a large glass of haterade. 'Twas delicious.

But seriously, all I wanted to say was that I'd much rather see Rival Schools return than DS. Talk about ignored underappreciated franchises!

Hiroy

I met alot of douchebags on Arlong Park, but you just push it. Why the hell did you come into this topic with your petty little taunts Syan? I mean seriously. What's your problem?

Syan Strife

Because I talk to KoS all the time about this and felt like messing with him.

GuetaMinute

Couldn't that same logic apply to all genres? Crash Bandicoot is just 3D Mario with furries, COD is just MOH with perks and killstreaks, Gran Turismo is just Forza with more cars and better graphics..

THE KingofSarus

@Syan:

Because it's just Monster Mash: The Game with Street Fighter gameplay.

Pathetic.

And hate makes me stronger. I just had a large glass of haterade. 'Twas delicious.

I bet it was.

But seriously, all I wanted to say was that I'd much rather see Rival Schools return than DS. Talk about ignored underappreciated franchises!

Good for you.

Start a petition for it with the "really fucking really" guy.

@Hiroy:

No matter what he says… he's still a ~~douchebag~~ hater.

GuetaMinute

Anyway, most fighters have the exact same core gameplay once you strip them of additional features and characters, unique gameplay mechanics and special additions each one has, just like any other genre

I can't say I'm big on fighters since I always get my ass kicked in games like SF (They treat the novice like crap) but MvC3 is actually an under-the-radar game for me.

Silence

Darkstalkers is amazing, shut your whore mouth.

HEATXZ

I support a new Darkstalkers game :D,if they make new characters i would like a Griffinman,Computer Virus monster,a Chimera man,Minotaur,a Dragonman,a Ghost Girl and a Gargoyle

THE KingofSarus

@ZeArmyOfHalen:

Don't worry. Marvel vs Capcom 3 will be perfect for newcomers.

You tell 'em!

Interesting.

RuNa

I have the Chaos Tower for PSP….but I kinda AT LEAST wish they would have ported it to PSN if nothing else.

I do want a fourth game....but I would absolutely hate it if it was in the style of SFIV (which it probably would be) so I'm not sure...

How about a new Waku Waku 7 instead?

THE KingofSarus

I don't think they would make it run like Street Fighter IV.

Graphics? Maybe.

RuNa

@THE:

Graphics? Maybe.

That's what I'm talking about.

Although, I guess I would be fine with completely cell-shaded graphics.

THE KingofSarus

I think they would look fine with the graphics.

I just hope the "waterink" doesn't go with it.
That's totally Street Fighter IV's.

captain usopp

i'm not much for fighting games…...but I LOVE DARKSTALKERS! awesome concept. awesome art. awesome characters. I can't get enough.

THE KingofSarus

Captain Usopp, you're cool as fuck.

captain usopp

that's what i keep trying to tell everybody, but they don't listen. :D

THE KingofSarus

They're probably deaf. Ever thought of that? :\

Insider2000

Kukukuku.

Morons fighting over fighting games is quite amusing.

I am going to sign however, because Darkstalkers, Morrigan, Felicia, and B.B. Hood are the shit.

THE KingofSarus

Who the fuck you callin' a moron?

…

Oh, Syan? Ah, okay. Cool.

RageaSarus

I don't know, if you guys hear about it, but apparently the "Petition for Darkstalkers 4" has reached 100,000 signatures. That means, we're 10% there.

Which. Is. Bullshit.

Yoshinori Ono said that Capcom will raise an eyebrow if it reaches 500k, which is also bullshit, but I revived this thread to say this:

If you haven't voted or want to create a dupe account, then do it right now!

A goddamn shame how this beautiful series is treated. They might as well stop putting Morrigan in VS. Capcom fighters. Shit.

Insider2000

100,000 signatures, and they're not impressed?

I'll post on different forums to get some more support. This is horse shit.

Robby

Apparently the franchise would be more fondly remembered if the entire cast was female or something.

Or some of the others might make it to the crossover games, in any event.

RageaSarus

I mean, I know Ono got ~~Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition~~, ~~Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition~~, Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online, and Street Fighter x Tekken and all, but he can't even hint that he's been working on it?

Especially since Sven (Christian Svensson) was like, "We are every busy, we are working on list above and maybe something else somewhere."
I hope that 'maybe something else somewhere' is Vampire 4.

If Street Fighter can be revived, then Darkstalkers can too, for fuck sakes.

However, at the same time, I'm a bit worried how it would look. Again, I believe Sven said Capcom aren't doing 2D sprites anymore and Darkstalkers was a gorgeous 2D fighter.

Sigh… just don't give us Street Fighter IV art. Please...

Robby

Something with a lot of heavy shadows could work well for the monsters. I realize the old games were bright and colorful, but… mood wouldn't work against them.

Especially if fireballs lit them up, as cg animation can do.

StrawHatRican

@Insider2000:

100,000 signatures, and they're not impressed?

I've said it plenty of times… we ALL love Darkstalkers, but clearly for Capcom that series is best left in the past unless they see $$$ in the horizon.

Shit, look at how Bionic Commando (a decent game by all means) came out RIGHT after their insanely popular and critically acclaimed Bionic Commando Rearmed, and it STILL tanked (it sold 100,000 less copies than the Bionic Commando Rearmed game).

I'm starting to understand more and more with each passing day why Megaman left…

RageaSarus

SAME FUCKING HERE.

StrawHatRican

We agreed on something…?

Holy Fuck.

Capcom is bringing the goddamn Apocalypse (not for DLC unfortunately)

RageaSarus

Put your goddamn dick back in your pants.
