    Default Darkstalkers Pronunciation

    Does anyone else find "Darkstalkers" to be difficult to say?

    Why, what happens when you try to say it?

    "Hey, have you played Darksta- Darkstalkers before?"

    Ever since then I call it Dirkstirklers.

    I normally end up saying Darkstarkles or dirksterkles.

    I missed the first 2 games so Darkstalkers III on PSX was my introduction to the series and it was a very good port despite the PSX's 2D limitations. Had a lot of fond memories with that game. I only wish every character had their own background instead of some being shared. That last boss Jedah was such a bad ass. Such an epic fight with him at the end.

    What's so difficult about "Dark Stockers"... It's obviously a reference to the black guys working the late shift at Wal-Mart.

    (I usually wouldn't but I couldn't resist... I really need to go to bed)

    Not at all, I long ago learned how to say the names, though I do call them by their Japanese names after the first game, thanks to playing a lot of the PS2 Darkstalkers Collection, and the 2 Saturn games, Vampire Hunter and Vampire Savior.

    Not at all, have you had yourself checked for any speech disorders?

    I can talk fine.


    I always stumble when trying to say darkstalkers for some reason though. I'm not the only one, too. I've heard other people do it.

    No, I do not, but upon hearing that you do, I am now happier knowing I am yet again someone else's better.
    Sorry. (Not really)

    Crap, I thought this was going to be news about Capcom bringing it back with the SF4 engine. I guess that would be a weird subtitle.
