Alright Capcom. You have my attention again.
And be sure to add Ruby Heart, Amingo, and Son Son.

So, Raptor and Donovan. Nice.
Also its nice that the footage wasn't just of the boobie mascots that always get the coverage for the franchise.
To be fair Morrigan is just abou the only thing I remember from that game lol.
I enjoyed the PSP version of this which is the only version I got to play. Mildly excited for this, it's Capcom so likely it'll have half the cast as on disc DLC and be the first of a bunch of yearly installments like Marvel vs Capcom and Street fighter was. I have no interest in buying the first knowing that there's a good likelyhood of a full game being released about a year later.
But that would please some people anyways. Capcom needs to do something spectacular in order to make this game stand out. Like announce whenever you unlock someone you actually unlock the option to download them. Or make all fights long QTEs. Or announce it's exclusive only to the Wii U and PS Vita. (not that the latter would be a bad thing. But it would sure piss some people off)

In order for Capcom to do that they have to do with this game what they couldn't do with the previous DS games Make people want to buy itand play it. And that's just one hurdle .

Donovan? I thought it was Dimitri.
Yep. Donovan is the monk dude with the big ass sword.
Donovan? I thought it was Dimitri.
Bleh. Yeah. Mind fart.
Haven't played the game since the Sega Saturn days.
Well, time to break out the nunchucks with Talbain.
Gotta stick with my girl Morrigan, although if Ruby Heart DOES get in this game, she'll be my secondary.

Too bad all the characters you want aren't even related to Darkstalkers (Ruby and Amingo were both original characters for Marvel vs. Capcom 2, and Son Son is from the 80's arcade game of the same name).
But yeah, I'm planning to sport the Bruce Lee werewolf and the unusually attractive catgirl once this develops and the HD re-releases of DS2 and 3 come out next year.

Still say Rose from Street Fighter looks and feels more like a DS than a SF. Even if they did eventually explain her crazy powers.
unusually attractive catgirl
Nearly all cat girls are attractive, nothing unusual at all!
And the line is "Curiously attractive fishman."

Correction. Ruby Heart was confirmed by Ono to be a rejected Darkstalkers character, and people have begged Ono to include her (along with Amingo and SonSon).
What now, son?
they're not getting in
Son Son? Maybe not.
Amingo? He's got a chance.
Ruby Heart? I'm willing to wager.
hey what's this. i've never been into fighting games, but I just love the darkstalkers characters. I got the old school artbook/strategy guide for the first game. did they say what system?
damn those fanboys in the video though. SHUT UP.
I only care for the B.B. Hood.

It'll probably be the next installment of Darkstalkers, so a fighting game. Fans have been asking for another one for a long time (last one came out 1998).
Probably PS3/360. Maybe Wii U.
Capcom, this is your chance for redemption. Do not blow it. Ono is in charge (well, I would assume so considering he's been pressuring Capcom about it for years) so I trust it would be a good game, I just hope it won't suffer from a re-hash or DLC bullshit.
I think it's safe to say that all the past characters people want will be back, maybe with the inclusion of Ruby Heart. As long as Morrigan and Lilith are in I'm fine ^^
I only care for the B.B. Hood.
THIS! but with my luck, she'll be DLC and the last person released.
Pff! B.B. Hood will be in the game. The amount attention female Darkstalkers generally get, I'd be shocked if any of them get dropped.
There hasn't been a DS game in so many years, I don't know if there are going to be many characters dropped, if any. I mean, DS1-3 has 18 characters in total. That's less than 90% of the roster in most fighting games these days. That's less than SF4's console roster of 25 characters.
And be prepared for Super Darkstalkers 4. Hopefully it will be much more like Super Street Fighter 4 and much less like Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3.
Game could definitely use some new characters. Can't think of any other monsters to add.

At the same time, rosters have to start low-ish so everyone can learn them fresh and be on even ground. Starting with too many characters, especially after so many years, could be overwhelming and difficult to learn the chess game.
But yeah, the character count is low enough its easy to think everyone will be included.

They've used up the hollywood movie monsters sure, but… Already 3 vampire/succubuses, and 2 robots (though based on different civilizations) and 3 corpses (Raptor, Hsien Ko and Anakaris are all zombies... albeit from different cultures) . They can overlap some more if they need. Raptor is pretty close but they have no actual skeleton character... Pyron is a fire alien with no real horror movie equivilent, and most of the characters from part 3 are nonsensical anyway. They can be creative and do whatever they want without being tied down to the classics. They can hit up mythology and folktales too, since B.B. Hood already set that precedent. Bee woman had no real bearing. Jedah is sorta the Grim Reaper, but not the typical personification at all.
Lizardman
Skeleton
Invisible Man
Witch
Tentacle monster
bride of frankenstein
Jeckyl/Hyde character
Tengu
Hunchback/phantom of the opera type
Different non-Pyron aliens (like the Queen from... Aliens)
Cyclops/Harpy/Manticore/etc.
more badass normal human hunters
Its refreshing that Capcom gets out of the antics some other great fighting game franchises. I have alway loved the atmosphere and character design of this series.
I am praying for Rival schools 3.

Two robots? Huitzil and… ?
Also, Jedah is supposed to be a classic demon while Q-Bee is a reference to this trope, which is actually very common in the Horror genre.
And I doubt we'll get any other humans besides B.B. Hood. She worked as a character because she sent the message that even humans can be worse monsters than actual ones.

Victor, the frankenstein with all the electric moves.
I suppose you could count him as a zombie instead and that would put them up to 4.
I heard a good idea for a marionette/doll/mannequin monster. That'd actually be pretty scary.

Oh yeah! Forgot about her. Well, I'm hoping for much more of a playable character, but yeah, that works too.
A Djinn would rock in this game.
That trailer was awesome
for new characters i would like
Genie
Chimera
Minotaur
Gargoyle
Anubis
Computer Virus Monster
Nature Monster or put Amigo in the game
Gollum/Rock Monster
Garuda
Dragon
Griffin
Cockatrice
Kappa
Abacai
Ganesha
If we're gonna get new characters, I hope they focus on monsters from countries that haven't been represented yet.
A French Gargoyle or a Greek Gorgon would be neat.
