I remember playing the PSX version of Darkstalkers 3. It was so awesome, because every character was available on the 3 incarnations, I mean, you could use Donovan in Vampire Savior, using Talbain in Vampire Savior 2 and Lilith in Vampire Hunter 2. Not to mention that feature to switch the music between the three games. One of the best versions, if you ask me. Renegade, I hope you really played the PSX version of DS3. If not, I wish you good luck getting in on Ebay. =3
Like seriously...Ahem..Back when they actually gave a F&k about music. It makes me mad..with all this synth blending of instruments with the occasional vocals thrown in that ultimately sounds like nothing, or overdone 20XX war music with guitar riffs...This is true video game music
Donovan made an appearance in Dr. Strange's ending in UMvC3. Here's to hoping he makes it in eventually. Oh, and the other Darskatlkers getting buffed. Felicia's going to do fine, I think. She wasn't bad by any means, just had a hard time getting in. Morrigan needs more damage and the ability to combo off throws, and Hsien-Ko needs her Pendulum cancels that should've been in there in the first place.
Also, does Don here remind anyone else of a JoJo's char? He even has a music name.
Interesting, quite a few of the Darkstalker characters that appeared in Puzzle Fighter used remixed versions of the Darkstalkers 2 themes.Capcom was king back in the day. Still is, but not as much as they used to be.
I want this soundtrack!!! My friend and I would have countless battles on this stage for hours on end because of this music. Would happen to know where I can get this soundtrack?
Donovan has such a mature theme under behind his character. It's amazing what these Japanese game designers/artists can crank out from within there culture in hybrid with western myth.
This guy WOWED us in the arcades with all that sick elemental animation. It was the first time we had seen a sprite as well animated as little Anita parlaying in the background off of another main character sprite. Capcom used to be a pioneer. That was then. His theme fits his gameplay style.
@massivewad im glad to see that im not the only one that thinks capcom has lost much of its luster....what made it fun....let us all pray that they will make a new darkstalkers and rival schools....
@Renegade466isback ive alredy uploaded the other theme for Donovan. y'kno, the 1 4rm Vampire Chronicles, Revenger's Roost? ive uploaded it, but if u dont have the theme, i culd send it to you if u like
That's too bad. There's so many loose ends to tie up that they have to make a part 4. Gameplay wise you're not missing much since it's the same thing as in MvC2.
Capcom really needs to bring out a Part 4.IMO they've dropped the ball too early on this series & I was done with it after DS3.If they do come out with then I would like to see an entirely different system,keep the chain combos but add some elements from SF4.Also they need to clean-up the characters stories instead of throwing half-ass stuff together
Man oh man I remember such nostaglia favorite character and freaking favorite theme thank you Renegade for the sweet memories and you to Capcom for making such great 2D fighting games.
His ending in Night Warriors (Vampire Hunter in Japan) tells us clearly. Technically, he was never meant to be in Vampire Savior/DS3. That is why he's the DS2 title character.
