Darkstalkers: Vampire Savior - How to choose your main character!

hello and welcome this is ruffle monger and my friends if you're looking to get into dark stalkers specifically vampire savior and you're wondering well what character should i be picking you know everyone is so wildly different in this game everyone has such crazy different things who should i be picking well this is the video for you how to choose your main character as we'll be going over just every character in the game and giving you a synopsis of what they are all about so that said here we gotta start at the start morgan is the main character as it were so let's start with morgan so to start off with morgan you know who morrigan is it doesn't matter if you've ever played dark stalkers in your life at all doesn't matter if you've never played a fighting game in your life before you know who morrigan is and it's uh two big reasons why her design's so really good because she stood the test of time she hasn't been in a game in her own series in over 20 years and yet people still know who morgan is so in the game well morgan i guess you could call her a shoto a ryu like in that she's got the fireball and you better believe she's got the uppercut right and for morgan specifically her fireball game is pretty decent in this game uh you have a lot of space control options here different speeds of fireball she also has air fireballs and they come at very aggressive angles and also move her backwards just a little bit just to make it all the more annoying to deal with now on the whole as far as some of the characters can get in this game morgan is actually fairly basic one of the big things though is her unique movement specifically she does not run or dash like a lot of the rest of the cast does she flies so when you hold ford forward or back back she basically turns her bat wings into jet engines and from there if you're holding forward she can also go straight up and she has the ability to basically super jump sort of if you hold down that hit up now one of the better things too about this super jump is you don't have to let it complete right you can just kind of let it do it it's like sort of a short hop and if you do it as a short hop it's basically like an auto cross up well as long as you time it right anyways right and her regular offense just off the four dash basically lets her get jumping normals very low to the ground so you have to stand block a lot against morgan because a lot of her offense will be from the air besides that she has some decent normals too uh crouch heavy punch really good she has a really good sweep as well and you'll use those a lot and one of the bigger things is the darkness illusion so that slight punch light punch forward light kick heavy punch and you might think wait a second i know that isn't that akuma's raging demon input and yeah it is except well she had it first it's a trend you'll find throughout a lot of what dark stalkers is as you'll find dark stalkers sort of did it first and that happens across a lot now one thing about morgan specifically in uh the darkness illusion which is very good is it counts as a different kind of special than other super moves do which means you can basically do it off chain combos which you cannot do for other super moves say something simple like close meaning pick into close heavy kick right the way this works i couldn't even get a fireball to cancel off this let alone anything else however darkness illusion will work off this as you can see there and all super well most supers take only one bar and this does a lot of damage for one bar so it's a pretty decent size part of her game plan besides all that she has workable buttons once again as we mentioned you know the fireball stuff a lot of the good traditional fighting game character gimmicks and because it's dark stalkers you better believe she has a command grab and yes this command grab has no whiff animation so if you miss you just get your normal move you went for instead so go for it there's very little consequence for missing all in all morgan is considered all right she's definitely not one of the top tiers or nothing uh but also not necessarily the dirt dog worst that'd be anacars but yeah so morgan is definitely a good character to help start you learn the game with now how about dimitri if morrigan is the ryu then i guess dimitri is the ken because yes he also has fireballs they're basically fireballs that turn in the bats and yes he can do him in the air as well although his unlike morgans go straight across which is both good and bad they're basically better at different things yes he has an uppercut one of the things about him though he has a very unique dash and that you can see kind of teleporting around and when he's not on the screen he is not on the screen meaning he is full invincible for that brief period which is very good and also this unique little dash here you can totally cancel it into special moves and in fact the uppercut if you do the uppercut while you are doing the dash it changes the motion of it and makes it go upwards so basically alters your angles so that's pretty interesting besides that he's a character with just really solid buttons here like you know his sweep is really good and also like morgan yes indeed he's got a command grab his is a 360 like zangief style he's got that command grab for sure and yes i command grab you can totally take your unique dash and cancel it into the command grab so you get like a running start to your grab that's great now here's some of the more unique things about him he has the very infamous midnight bliss move this is also a command grab right now they're set to block everything and there's a couple unique things about it so one you see morgan completely change right every character in the game has unique art when hit by midnight bliss and the other thing is the motion's really weird it's like a reverse dragon punch and normally a dragon punch is forward down down forward this is down forward down forward and then two punches together and then he'll just sort of glide and if it connects at all he will do his thing now he's got another version as well this version's with kicks although this is a proper attack so you know don't get blocked on that one but yeah dimitri he's the vampire man he's got a couple other fun gimmicks like teleports and he can just turn into like a demon while he's like biting into you right so if you like a more traditional style of play but not necessarily the morrigan style then dimitri's the guy to go to now victor so victor is the big guy right so you would assume off the bat well he's the grappler and well sort of but not really because as we already went over with morgan and dimitri they have command grabs right because everyone has command grabs so victor is not very unique in that way yes he's got command grabs as well like he has the mash grab where he's shocking you he's got the more traditional like 360 style grab where he just like dunks you up right but the thing is a lot of other characters are a lot faster than him it's a lot easier for them land grabs so if you want to say the term grappler i don't know if he fits but where he does fit is the buttons he's got huge gigantic buttons the range of what he has for a lot of his just basic normals just absolutely surpasses everybody else and he has the added additional benefit of he can hold everything that's on light and it charges it up with electricity and it does a few things one it extends the range of the move like this is stand heavy punch this is a whiff if i hold it all of a sudden it connects right and also you might notice well shocks them right so if it connects it's a lot more hits done versus if i just tap them they just float out and just kind of recover immediately right so there is some benefit versus doing the base hit versus the electric hit that trigger has more range it shocks them although the negative is usually they're much less safe on block or at least much more negative on block so you don't always want to do them there is value doing the tap version versus the held version also the held versions although you gotta time it correctly can destroy projectiles but you've got to play around with it because it's very easy to just kind of be a second too late and get hit anyways so on top of that this where had like the big normals all that kind of stuff just eat up a lot of real estate huge especially if you hold them to get the electric bonus he has stuff like jump heavy punch and jump heavy punch is ridiculous like tear-wise unfortunately victor is considered a lower tier character but this isn't one of the reasons why this thing's redonkulous it just owns so much real estate you can for the most part just be honestly just ignorant with it and just kind of bulldog your way in and it's going to take a better player to stop you from doing that he does have other traditional big character things like he does have a spinning lariat similar to zangief although it does destroy projectiles it does not have any sort of real admits ability so it's not necessarily a defensive move just a move to kind of work your way in while destroying projectiles and he has a couple ways to work his way in he has the big head butt this is like a charge move like e honda sumo headbutt he has charge down up punch and this is like just kind of the neutral skip move he'll just hop over everything and just put this massive normal out which does combo into itself that's really handy and the perhaps most important thing is he has an ass-based offense what am i talking about an ass based offense i'm talking he literally will beat you up with his ass he can electrify his butt and slam you around with it and he has a lot of moves that use his butt like that's his forward throw right he literally takes his butt cheeks and wraps you in them and flings you around and to the point like we mentioned how he has like the 360 command grab right he has a 720 super grab as well and that 720 super grab he's like grabbing you with his butt while a bunch of ghosts are shocking the enemy like so if you are looking to like humiliate your enemy with really silly moves victor this is a pretty good place to do it because the electric butt attacks on top like actually good normals like his uh big jumping normals his titanic standing normals all that kind of stuff so if you want just big normals a lot of screen presence you know gigantism in your head and you know occasionally landing a command grab because you know you can do that just he's not as fast as everyone else and victor is the character next is lord raptor sometimes known as zebel the punk rocker zombie man now this is something that matters to you he's widely held as the single best character in the game this game is 25 years old it's not getting a patch anytime soon let's put it that way right so he's going to remain the best now why is that it's quite a few reasons not the least of which is just really good normals and all these normals are modular so every single normally has us grounded he can hit forward and the button and you get an increased range version of the move and some of these have huge range like look at this so his ability to just be on the ground and do buttons is good but the thing is that that was just sitting whatever because he's also the master of the skies because all of his air normals also are modular they have the regular version and a downward version so like this jump heavy punch okay this jump down heavy punch okay that's a much more aggressive angle right than this which is good for air-to-air but jump down heavy punches the big one and now add this to it that he can air dash he has like a little leg helicopter thing going on and since he can air dash he can instant air dash and since he can instant air dash that move we just talked about here jump down heavy punch well he can get like a very uh aggressive from a range that's very difficult to contest kind of offense going on and that's once again just the basics he also has a unique dash and that puts him very low to the ground and things can literally like you know a lot of normal stuff go over his head he also has crouch walks and that he can hold down forward or down back and just advance while lowering his hurt box so now once again even more things are going to start going over his head and yes just like everyone else he's got command grabs going on that's very good invincible teleports like he's got a lot to work with also just to go back real quick to that command grab his command grab doesn't have a whiff animation so it's a half circle back and punch so if i do it i miss i just get this instead so if you jump out of my command grab i do this move instead which will hit you out of your jump because grounded normals are air unblockable and you see where i'm getting at here right so if he puts you in that position it's real bad and then he can just dunk your ass like very literally like no allegory literally dunking you right like this is also unblockable although uh there's a little bit of startup to it right so you know the enemy if they know it's coming they can get around it but yeah just dude has like mostly like very good or best-in-class kind of everything so that's why he's considered a very strong character going to lilith lilith is the counterpart of more well she's actually literally morgan that's like weird plot stuff but yeah she's a lot like morgan now unlike morgan she has a normal dash right so she doesn't have her weird air mobility but unlike morgan she does have a proper super jump in fact i think she's the only character in the game up top my head that has like an actual normal like anime style super jump and it's just you know down up and you get more momentum right her normal set's a little bit different a lot more like axe themed stuff on a lot of her normals compared to morgan one of the biggest things here that defines loaf as a character is her projectile now i'm going to blow your minds here hang on hold onto your butts yeah scared yet yeah i know right so in a lot of ways like this is the heavy punch version you can say well isn't this like dan's gadokan like this doesn't look too scary and you'd be right right the heavy punch version is mostly for like combos but the light version is nice and slow and lilith can move before the move is like actively done yet right so she can basically use this as like a bit of a wall and not only that it's totally air okay right and not only that you can also tiger knee it so you can do it like just barely off the ground and just create a big difficult to get around wall for the enemy like it's not like you know you're not gonna win games off this alone but it's a great frustration tool the fact that she can just regain her ability to move a little bit before the move goes away as well and just nice and slow just eats up a lot of real estate it's really good also like morgan she has the raging demon so the animation is a little bit different but it's effectively the same same deal right and he puts the same so light punch light punch forward leg kick heavy punch and if you do it quick then you get the move and just like morgan it doesn't count as a regular super and that you're allowed to do it off combo chains whereas normally other supers you can't do that so say something like crouch medium kick into crouch heavy slash and hers is also very good just like morgan's like normally i can't even do a basic fireball off that but i can definitely go into the darkness illusion from it and get that big damage so that's very interesting besides that if you're a fan of alex from street fighter she has a hop grab and it's very silly uh she turns you into a the arrow and a bow and arrow and flings your butt across the screen also if you do the ex version it actually creates a wall bounce which you can combo from so uh it's definitely a reaction test it's not quick like a lot of other command grabs but because everyone's got command grabs that's hers also she has gloomy puppet show which i'm not even gonna lie to you over the years i never learned how this move works like you just hit buttons and you just you don't spend meter on it sucks takes two meters and does no damage versus you have darkness illusion which does like all the damage so save your meter for that so whereas morgan has a more traditional like shoto style of game plan lilth is a bit more slower she'll have a slower match uh because she'll be doing like tiger knee fireballs uh she does have a lot of easy knockdowns though because she has like effectively what it would be uh a hurricane kick if you want to call it that and that always knocks down so that's good for pressure but yeah so different game plan than morgan now the sasquatch so first and foremost very important to learn he is one of video gaming's very few canadians yes he's a horrible monster man but by gum he's canadian i'm canadian so it matters to me all right he's canadian i consider that more important than anything else now besides that the second most important thing is he's really easy to learn and he's like a broken cheap character he's definitely considered one of the higher tier characters in this game um there's a lot of reasons but the main one is the way he dashes so when he dashes he just flings himself at you right and sure enough you can like do air attacks and all that from it you can even get multiple air attacks in if you have right timing but the thing is you can also cancel that hop so that's the regular hop now if i hold back immediately oh look at that and what does this mean well you still get to do air moves from this hop so this is now effectively like a king of fighters style short hop and this means basically you can get hit over and over and over by unseeable overheads i generally use like jump light punch for that but like you're not blocking that kind of stuff on reaction and yes just so you know totally leads to combos as well and of course i can hit you with the overhead then go low or i can hit you with the overhead then go for the overhead again then go low right or i can just hit you with the overhead then go for the command grab which is the capture state and then get a free combo from there right like yeah the options from it are overwhelming to say the least so that's the big thing about sasquatch and also like he's got pretty serviceable buttons as well uh like a lot of easy anti-airs you just want to spam specials for meter gain his breath is really good we mentioned he has the command grab this is the capture state command grab so they're frozen for a short time and after that you can just kind of walk up and hit them with some buttons guaranteed and yes besides that he has a more traditional 360 style although honestly it's not as good like you just get less damage so might as well just use the other one his ability to control the full screen with meter is good so ex ice pillar is just just really good projectile he also has a beam super so if you got meter your presence from the screen is good and you can just do the full dash and like medium kick or something that's not even bad either like he getting in for the most part is not too difficult if you uh have people just sleeping at the wheel just a little bit yeah it's quite a fast unblockable for what it is like no amount of blocking will save you if you're on the ground you will get hit by this and the damage is also very respectable and if you're just looking to style people he does have a 720 where he gets his little team just like mush on your face there so yeah sasquatch there's really very little in the way of faults he's just a good character qb so qb before i gotta get any of the good gameplay stuff she's so weird and i love it so bees bees bees look at they sting you when they fall over and they die how crazy is that hey and you know qb's not gonna be out shown by like a worker bee right oh you're gonna fall over and die screw you i'm gonna fall over and die and then a new one will be hatched from the enemy and then i'll be playing an all-new qb for the rest of the game like that's literally how this is working the old you died now you're playing a different qb from this hit grab like that's gonna make i love it now let's show you the flash stuff before we get some more by the number stuff so her air mobility is really good she can hold up while in the air and she can just kind of hover in place and if you do it while jumping forward specifically she will stay up in the air quite a bit longer and she has like pretty good air normals jump uh medium punch specifically really good angle can stuff a lot of stuff she also has the air forward dash only forward and it's a homing dash in that it'll home to the enemy so if you are directly on top of them it'll go directly on top of them which also means if you instant air dashes she has like unseeable instant air dash offense and these are overheads which lead to no combos right like you actually gotta if you don't block this you're gonna get smoked like and she can just kind of do it and do it and just do it over and over again until you just don't block right and of course it helps that she can just go for it and go for that command grab because everyone's got command grabs right and hers also has no if animation so if you want to do the medium punch one specifically it's half circle back and a punch she'll get her medium punch and her medium punch is like i don't want to rate the normals or nothing but it's one of the best normals in the game the range and speed is just ridiculous it's dash uh you can cancel into it from the dash like you would just bully people with this button it's great like she has really good buttons just across the board like crutch medium kicks another one and she's also very low to the ground while doing a lot of these like so low to the ground a lot of stuff will just go clean over her head so it's just fantastic uh we talked to the heck grab this is actually blockable this one here the one that has like the fancy life death rebirth cycle right but the thing is it has like really good priority it beats most things if it gets blocked you just kind of harmlessly bounce off when you're barely negative so it's the move just pretty alright to toss out it is air okay as well i mentioned you know she does have the uh air dash so she can do you know triangle jump offense really quick but uh the thing is she's also very cool just playing it kind of chill like she does not have to just non-stop triangle jump offense over and over and over she can just play buttons and do really well yeah she's got just a lot of fun stuff one's getting a lot of bees you can toss honey at you create capture state hit you with that right more bees like these bees will swarm yeah and stab you and create little funny animations every character has their own unique stung animation which i love there's so much love and detail in this game that everyone has their own unique animations for a lot of the moves this qb is just a really cool character i've always found her fascinating what a really cool design so bishomon is a samurai possessed by an evil suit of armor you might notice if you look in the chest that's actually like a demonic face and uh this suit of armor he's playing for keeps uh some of the cool things about bishman besides just you know hey samurai man right uh he has a lot of like dash momentum like way more than the average character people have traditional dashes so his like dashing offense is actually like really good he also has modular normals on everything so light medium heavy punch and kick all the versions if you hit forward you'll get a different version of the move so this is medium punch four mean and punch heavy punch forward heavy punch like kick forward heavy kick and so on and so forth so he basically has a lot more normals to work with than other characters he has a very interesting projectile game these little spears around him you can throw them out and basically creates like a capture state so if it connects then you have two options either you hit it and you can do like a fireball motion and you'll do like you know the anime style sword swings back back right or you can hit back and punch and it'll bring them into you like rip them into you like scorpion or something right and from there you can either like tap them with a normal or you actually have a special follow-up as well and you basically do like an uppercut and the uppercuts not a normal movie has and by the way speaking of normalcy his normals are really good like look at the range on crouch heavy punch there so his angles of attack are very good and the air version is like just a true capture state like a sub-zero freeze or something so if you manage to connect with it you just get whatever hit you want now i'm going to show you an interesting thing i never fully understood why it works the way it works so like you know many characters have many moves if you want to burn meter he has an ex version of the move right but for him specifically at very specific ranges like you see it connected there right it's set to all block like i can't hit them at very specific ranges and very that's like very finicky but at very specific ranges this move is unblockable the ex version and it's difficult to purposely get like it has to be a hyper specific distance there you go right but if you can get it that's really good for you because it's unblockable besides all that he does have command grabs i know it doesn't look like a grab but that's 360. and he also has a super grab the big thing here is unlike the other command grab it has a decent amount of range to it like you don't gonna be touching the enemy to get this one off so if they're a little sleep at the wheel that's a good option for you he's got charge slices like just hold back you know two seconds hit forward punch and it's just like basically screen control normal doesn't have a lot of range but it has enough to make it work and also if you do kick there's a low version as well also has a unique pursuit attack that does a lot of damage as you can see here so normally pursuit attacks only do like white health but his a unique pursuit attack just does a lot of health so it's a really good way to close that around if they're knocked down yeah benchmark just you know good screen presence good uh normals for the most part his dash into a lot of normals is just much better than a lot of other characters versions because he just maintains his momentum a lot better so we just like kind of hitting buttons good character for it now we have anacarus so we talked earlier with the lord raptor section how he's generally considered the best character in the game well anacarus is generally considered the worst character in the game he's the big mummy and there's a lot of things he just can't do like he cannot regular throw you he literally does not have a basic throw he does have a command grab don't worry this is dark stalkers right but he does not have a basic throw and the push block mechanic he can't do it at all and he doesn't have a neutral jump like he can uh jump diagonally and he can actually double jump and triple jump as well that's pretty handy but he cannot neutral jump he just kind of pogo's his way up in the sky and then is all weird like that so dude is the dawson analog in that he's got very big normals they kind of go all over the place but that is also to his benefit a bit uh he actually has a really decent high-low game uh because once again he's a dow some analog because just like dalson has yoga mummy there right he has a pyramid drill and the pyramid is a true overhead right so he can kind of basically just do dive kicks on you and make you block overhead over and over and over now you can't do it immediately off the ground you do have to jump a little bit it is good enough because you know it does natural combos so that's good and it's just as easy as dive kick going to uh kicks right at her lows or dive kick and then go into another dive kick then go for lows or whatever or you can do his uh grabs because he does have command grabs right because everyone has command grabs now his is a little silly uh his basic one is ranged like depending on the button you press is the range of the move now this can't hit crouchers but the ex version which just like travels across the screen it's really weird like that that one can hit anyone so that's good he also has weird stuff like curse like he barfs a fireball at you and you see morgan's turn to a bat and when morgan's a bat and every character turns into their own unique little thing they literally can't do moves so you definitely don't want to get hurt by this move or your character loses their ability to be a character like he's got a lot of big stuff here like this is a charge attack he has ability to control the screen by like summoning uh coffins and he could just kind of go crazy and just poor crap all over the screen once again he's sort of the dalsom analog it's just sort of difficult to get in on him because he can play really squirrely not the least of which too if he back dashes in the corner look at this see ya if he's cornered like he never has to stay cornered if he doesn't want to he can always risk the back dash and switch sides so it's very hard to get him where you want him also unique to anacars is he has some very oddball supers let's put it that way here like this guy that does a lot of damage that takes three bars right and the inputs really jacked it's heavy kick medium punch light kick down light punch medium kick heavy punch like here are my inputs if you don't believe me on this one like if you got meter to burn it's pretty good i guess right but yeah he has a lot of really oddball supers so even though he's considered the worst in the game or whatever like he's really fun and interesting i think you know this game's 25 years old let's worry a little bit less about the tiers now you know and just play the characters you think are fun here we have bb hood so she's little red riding hood and got a cute little dog butterflies and all that the thing is what makes her unique in this game is she'll literally slit your throat uh she's got the arsenal let's put it that way i'm talking like missiles all kinds of stuff land mines uh she's playing for keeps let's put it that way so some more mechanical stuff she has like a legit double jump which once again everyone has unique movements as far as i can tell uh besides anacar she's the only character can just like do stuff like a double jump so that's cool and well you might notice those rockets right like high rocket low rocket these are charge moves just fyi but she's basically like sagat in a way in that she has multiple options in the landmines the landmines are not jokes they're actually active past the point of the animation like after you recover so they can just kind of stay on the field for a little bit so that's really handy and of course if they connect then they connect and you don't gotta worry they just blow up the enemy she can beat your head with the basket and like shoot you down with the uzi uh one of the most famous things about this character which i can't really show off in this video is the execution as um she has like legitimate no fooling infinites but your execution has to like these if you know the term sacko combos sacko combo started it with bb hood right and i can't show them because i can't do these combos they're beyond me so you just got to take my word for it if you're the kind of person that wants to waste hours learning this kind of stuff google bb hood infinite or whatever have fun with that not for me not for me very like look at this here the butterflies are on the flower and all that and then you shoot rockets so good dichotomy of how the character is very cute but also very deadly and yes command grab because always command grab and she's got a lot of fun stuff here like uh she can cry fake tears while like smashing you to dust here that's great she can like summon the army a bunch of other hunters or just tons of guns and stuff just really cool character i like her so felicia the sexy cat lady honestly if you're the kind of person to play this character you probably already know you're gonna play this character before i even say anything right so before i even say anything just shouts out to the stage felicia stage long before bayonetta long before doctor strange felicia was fighting on the side of tall buildings now you can see the traffic down there and there's the helicopter i always thought that was really cool so what is felicia well she's just a bundle of good everything for the most part like everything felicia does is pretty decent uh just like strong basic stuff like basic hitting the poke does a lot of damage a big thing with her just like sasquatch her dash is a leap which means she can do air based normals very low to the ground so having the block low and high against felicia is is going to be a fact of life because she can just toss out air normals immediately against you and you got no recourse other than to just groove and try to block and of course just being this game then of course you can do it like an empty hop into the command grab because everyone's gotta come and grab honestly i don't feel like there's too much to say about felicia she just is good you just rush down and do your thing or don't because her normals are really good like jump heavy punch is really good uh especially you can use it off a hop to a like for obscene range for an overhead which is crazy uh like her grounded buttons are really good you can kind of just do whatever oh yeah this is pretty good too this is like really good anti-air she has one of the best dark forces in the game in that whenever you do anything the little buddy attacks so your pressure just goes crazier and crazier and crazier like just run forward and hit buttons like that's about it i don't know i'll be the first one i've never been a felicia player but you always seem kind of basic to me but basic in the best way i do think she's a good beginner character and that you just kind of attack and hit buttons so we go from the cat lady to the wolf man and he's also in the kind of rush down vein but just even more aggressive and before i even tell you anything about the character here's what's really up this you've seen this kind of move in other games spoiler it was in darkstalkers first right and talbane could just fling himself at you you very low commitment because he doesn't actually have to like stay with his choices he can just kind of run away if you get hit by any straight beast rush it can mean so much damage just like the move itself does already damage but then you get like the ex flash can follow up and that's like 45 or something grab like just the reward scaling for him and hitting a random button like a random move is really big other things he's so fast like look at his walk speed he's also very low to the ground when he walks if he dashes just like felicia just like sasquatch he's airborne while doing it so he has very good access to instant overheads very strong besides that just a little flavor hey he's bruce lee like he's got nunchucks like he'll beat your butt with bruce lee nunchucks like he can summon the dragon like he holds his nunchucks up like bruce lee you just get hit by the spiritual energy of kung fu right like he's just kind of cool like that talbane is no regular werewolf that's for sure and yes he has a command grab because of course he does and has no whiff animation at all so like if they're not there to be grabbed then he'll just get close heavy kick would said which has huge hitbox and i'll like smoke if you try to jump out of it because life's fair that way right so yeah just the beast cannon like that's the main event i'm not gonna lie to you like just this move here you can do whatever the version of the move is right go straight you go down and go up whatever and then just hit any direction and the button again and you just go in that direction and it can be very tricky cause all sorts of cross-ups gimmicks all that kind of stuff that is the main event on top of the fact he's just super aggressive huge normals great rush down and just a pain all around now shinko if you're a faust player in guilty gear i'm gonna break your heart here now cause faust isn't as original as you thought he was cause how about we toss some random items right that was kind of shin coasting first there's a bunch of different items and she can toss them all well okay it was just the items and that's fine like oh no a bomb you can bounce around and explode in your face yeah she did that first so now that i let you know about that how she's the originator of a lot of things let's talk what she does she has a dash very similar to dimitri in that when she's off the screen she's off the screen she is just gone she's full invincible in those moments where she's off the screen and she has an air dash and air backash as well so she can cover a lot of ground and the thing is she has really good normals she can do a lot of interesting things and from that air dash she can create a lot of pressure so she has good grounded offense like four medium punches really good she has ford heavy punch which is like almost such a huge part of the screen like this is stand heavy punch like look at the distance on that and the closer you are the more hits you get as well like her ability to just devastate with normals is great and of course she has a command grab because everyone does and she's the star of the gong show so she can actually reflect projectiles with this which is really handy if you do the ex version like just owns a big part of the screen for a little bit which is cool also she has tender ihop this guy here which is just straight up one of the best moves in the game so here's the thing the input sort of jacked it's light kick heavy kick medium punch medium punch up and trust me i know i know this is not an input you want to learn but here's the thing that anvil hit there like when it crushes down on your skull that's an actual true overhead that's a grounded overhead no need for the air dash shenanigans or whatever and all the air dashers in this game like they're all good right like don't get me wrong you want to use that too but she can basically force like 50 50 mix-ups and you can't do anything about it you just have to guess basically the move just really strong for creating 50 50 situations also all those spike balls if the enemy's already on the ground they do otg so they will hit as well so it's just a really good move it's just a really good move besides that just got good space control like her sword super heats up a lot of real estate a character that can control a lot of the screen so if that sounds interesting to you then shinko is a good character for you so now rico so rico is perhaps the most curiously attractive of all the characters and well for a fishman that's pretty alright now i guess the big thing the famous thing we just talk about is the unblockable so he summons this big bubble and well you ain't blocking the bubble and the bubble puts you in a capture state then you can do whatever you want and the big thing is he can do all sorts of gimmicks tricks like and maybe force you to wake up into it or he's going to do it then chase you down and if he hits you he's going to get you because you can't block it right he is going to be trying to put you in a lot of lose-lose situations like this is the big thing he's going to be spending a lot of his meter on these unblockables and then getting whatever combo from it that was hardly the only thing he does that's the big thing another big thing is his dash so his four dash puts him very low to the ground can go underneath quite a few things and he also maintains a lot of some momentum while doing it and he also gets some different moves while doing his four dash like that's four dash heavy punch this is the normal heavy punch right so they're very different moves so it's a decent part of his offense his normals are pretty good for what they are good range good pokes and of course the dash adds more range than you already have as well so that's really good his ability to control space like he has a dizzy state like a capture state move in the hypnosis right so if he hits you and you're stuck and you have to get hit and also the poison kind of the same deal and the poison comes in multiple ranges so we can see us uh that was light then heavy than medium so if you just want to kind of lay him out and hide behind stuff if you're finding character that can't fight you that well from that far away it's also a perfectly valid example of a way to go about it because we're mentioning for every character you better believe there's command grabs in fact he has two uh one stays same side and the other one's switch sides because why not right everyone's gotta have command grabs his dark force gives him hyper armor so there ain't no stopping him no matter how many times you hit him he's gonna keep riding that horseshoe crab and beat your head in so it's a very good way to spend meter if you just want to bulldog in because the enemy cannot stop you for the most part while this is going on it's very very handy to have he's basically a tank while it's going on yeah he's kind of like i don't mean this in a bad way but he's kind of a basic character but in a really good way he just has all the tools he would want like he's not super top tier or anything but there's nothing to be steered wrong here rico has everything you could want in a character and finally jeddah marvel vs capcom infinite's favorite son i know there's a big baby don't worry about the baby this isn't about him this is about jeddah so jenna first thing here he's a little similar to morgan in that like the dash you can kind of go up and back just like her but unlike morgan he does have an air dash it's a bit of an arc i guess you could say it kind of goes down before barely going up just a little bit so morgan can't quite do that and one of the bigger things here just the normals he's got really big boy normals and a lot of his like you see here like his arms exploding out of his body and then coming back in like he's got a lot of gross stuff so he can just you know fly poke with his airdash into the big buttons he also has stuff like jump heavy kick so jump heavy kick has the ability to cross up off his just normal dash which is really good and of course naturally you can like go combos and all that kind of stuff if you get the hint so it just kind of enforces like some easy left rights which hey we all love easy left rights right we don't have to actually earn our hits and speaking of not having to earn our hits uh jenna's got a lot in the way of uh unblockables so the enemy is set to currently block everything right so of course when you know it we got command grabs because this is dark stalkers and jetta also has an air command grab as well so can't block those he also has the back slice and the back slice is also unblockable so we're already up to three how about some uh supers here so how about the hand so this is half circle forward two kicks and you toss out this little bit of a puddle and when you hit kick again then a hand comes out and hey when you know at the ranges you want to use it at well it's basically just a long range command grab and yes it's unblockable because they're set to block everything uh there's also this which catches them anywhere they are on the screen this is also unblockable a lot of what jetta does cannot be blocked is what i'm trying to say now it doesn't mean you should always go for them because they're all a bit slower or you need a specific angle but thankfully he's got a great way to help frustrate people in making mistakes because he's got the pinwheels so these are just cortisone forward and a punch and he tosses out like his wing he rips one of his own wings off right and then it just stays on screen for a while and just chills it's a big active head box he can effectively lay up like a minefield and just be very frustrating and annoying to do it while he flits around his jump arc's also crazy like he can cover the whole screen in one jump with a jumping normal which is really good so yeah so it's a combination of just good normals controlling the screen a lot and the enemy legitimately cannot block most of what he can throw out so if that sounds good to you then jetta is your boy and that my friends is an overview of all the characters in the game not meant to be a you know big guide for everyone because it's already a long video and that just be hours and hours more right but just to give you an idea of what they're capable of and why a lot of people love these characters over the years because the dark stalkers cast is truly iconic right so many great characters obviously so many great ideas because so much of what a lot of these characters can do have echoed on through the ages yeah you could say it's a rip off i'll choose to say it's an homage right but yeah it's a truly classic cast and i hope there's someone here that piques your interest because well dark stalkers is just plain cool so that all said well we're at the end of the video so thank you very much for watching hope this video has found you well and go out and play some dark stalkers [Music]
