Darkstalkers IV Idea Thread
This is a thread where you can give ideas about what the next Darkstalkers game should be. I'll start;
I think the fourth Darkstalkers should be called "Blood Moon Tournament: Aftershock", going with the fact that every Darkstalkers game has a different name in the West (Darkstalkers/Night Warriors/Vampire Savior). The graphics will remain 2D, and either be in the same style as the CPS-2 games or be drawn like Rayman Origins. The character roster would compromise of everyone from Vampire Savior who isn't dead plus 6 new ones to replace the dead (maybe the dead guys are unlockable?). These new characters are:
* Demini: Demitri's protege , who is shocked and appalled to hear of his death at Jedah's hands. She trained under Demitri in his same fighting style, but misinterpreted many of his moves, becoming a charge character. Demini is the first primarily charge-based Darkstalker character(though Sasquatch and B.B. Hood are gifted with charge supers), and has fluttery jumps to make up for her inability to truly fly.
** Her specials are based on the late Demitri's, but changed to charge-commands as opposed to rolling ones, both making her less of a shotoclone and altering the timing of her moves. Her Midnight Bliss move has an unchanged input, however, and the rest of the supers are entirely different.
** She is actually based upon the early concepts for Morrigan, which had her as a cute vampire girl rather than a sensual succubus. Other early concept characters may be featured as common enemies in Adventure Mode.
* Pliny: A blemmy warrior from Kenya, he seeks to change the reputation of his species as savage cowards. The resident turtler, he can change stances between a shielded, thrusting stance and a hand-to-hand style.
* Cocytus: A wendigo from Antarctica, Cocytus is ever-hungry. In order to relieve his hunger, he joins the tournament in search of a meal. He replaces Victor as the resident grappler.
* Lurch: A colony of hundreds of Lilliputians operating a mechanical suit, Lurch is a merciless bounty hunter, a Darkhunter-hunter, if you will. While Lurch begins weak, he grows stronger as he takes damage.
* Louise: Ozom once heard a prophecy (not knowing it was completely made up) that a pure-hearted catwoman Darkstalker would topple his reign, Ozom decided something must be done about her. When he heard Donovan Baine had hunted and trapped every one of Earth's other known Darkstalkers, he noticed a young human hearing the cries of Felicia imprisoned within the Iron Maiden, and freeing her. He suddenly jabbed a needle into Felicia's arm from behind and took a sample her DNA. Unscrambling it, he combined it with Cheshire Cat genes to create a warrior who would match Felicia in every way. Upon his defeat at Lord Raptor's hands, "Project X-O" was accidentally sent to New Orleans on Earth, where she took the name Louise. After spending a few years haunting mansions, she heard of Felicia and decided to follow her into the Majijen. She ended up staying there, and claimed it as her own.
** Louise is based on the original concept for Felicia, a sensual catwoman as opposed to a cute one. Added Cheshire Cat elements to add another monster type to the game and make her more original (and creepy).
* Anita: Anita is all grown up and ready to be played as. After losing to Dee and witnessing his suicide, Anita buried Dee in a small plot of land near where castle Maximoff once stood. Now, Jedah targets her as the new goddess of his dream world.
Boss Characters:
*Mivan: Demtri's specter possessed the remains of Dee and became a new being, with two souls operating in harmony. He's Demitri's head on Donovan's body.
*Ozom: Emperor Ozom decided he had quite enough of Jedah's dreams of ruling a new world, and sets out to not only stop him, but also reclaim his creations.
Everyone else gets new special and EX moves.
