I could see how humanity would not accept Talbain as much as Felicia. Wolves aren't usually accepted as welcome visitors in a home, but a housecat can easily walk among people. Felicia in her true form would be considered a normal housecat. But Talbain in his true form as a werewolf would not be as easily accepted.
It's kind of a shame that Jon Talbain doesn't appear in more Capcom crossover games. I would've loved to see him in Tatsunoko vs Capcom or Marvel vs Capcom 3. Just imagine the dialogue and win quotes he'd have. XD
I can't believe I never notice as a child that Gallon was just Bruce Lee wolf.
Jon Talbain is one of the most underrated characters Capcom has created. His play style is so fast, and fun that he would fit in well in Marvel vs Capcom. But for some fucked up reason, Anakaris and Hisen-Ko are in the MVC games and they move like molasses.
So true one of the main reasons ppl even bought Capcom fighting evolution was because Jedah was in it. The don't understand favorite characters sell games.
J.Talbain : "What do you see when you look at me? A Man? Or a Beast?"
Me : "A Husbando."
talbain's wolf form is hotter than his human form, this is not up for debate
Jon Talbain is my all time favorite video game character and I wish we got more of him.
Awesome. Jon is one of my favourite Darkstalkers so learning more about his conception and history is cool.
Its a sin that more people dont know about this character
6:06 I think Jon is more popular than Q-Bee, I heard of him several times before Q-Bee.
A werewolf who can throw flames is not something you can see in another media.
Baby Bonnie Hood (B.B. Hood) needs to be next. She is someone I have always been super curious about.
+Comics And Coffee You did Jon. Might as well do B.B. Hood next. or Felicia. One of the two that you feel a tie to.
Morrigan, Jon Talbain, Donovan feel like the main characters here.
Jon Talbain is such an adorable werewolf, love that cute fanart you included near the end
Jedah, please. The BEST laugh in all of gaming. The guy is so evil he cuts his own head off to beat you. I mean, that's badass, man.
Jon talbain is one of the best characters of all videogames,
I'm glad this game made a benevolent Werewolf.
But they should make a movie of this guy. Or at the least make a figure of him
I think Jon Talbain would fit into Street Fighter pretty well
Mr_Beezlebub Yeah so he slice his opponents in half.
Remarkable Character study to you sir. But I Honestly think there's an Extra layer to Jon Talbain(Gallon) that could be explored in the series if it continues. While both games (in story) focus on his Curse and his inner Darkness, *the Beast* as he calls it. They Explore his need to balance his human traits with his true nature. This form of duality is expressed between Himself, his Interactions with Felicia, and the shared if opposite views that both have about in relations toward Human nature vs them.
Yin and Yang, Good and Evil. But What of the Grey area? This is the Extra Layer.
I believe Jon Talbain has another chapter to add to his story that the creators could exploit. This "Extra layer" is him delving deeper into finding Harmony with his two halves, only to slowly grow mad as he struggles to Tame the Choas within him.
His ending Darkstalkers 3 has him conflicted about Going back to the chilren he cares for...or Staying as the Creature he was meant to be. Reflecting his Choatic Dual nature.
If Capcom ever gets back to Darkstalkers. Perpahs we'll see where Jon has been all these years. Maybe...there's a Darker trutth hidden within that his Father never revealed to him.
Best character in the series :D
I'm surprised nobody got the reference/idea of TF2 that Nostalgic Gamer is using (such as the "Meet The" titles and the "Zoom out from the character of the video to the whole cast" thing that he uses at the end of each video).
Nonetheless, loving this series, keep up the good work.
(And if i REALLY have to vote, i'd go for Q-Bee)
He's been my favorite video game character since I was a little kid. I used to love playing Darkstalkers in arcades, or anywhere it was available. Thanks for making this awesome video!
Why is he my favorite character in this series? Three words: Bruce Lee werewolf.
My favorite Darkstalker, love playing as him and Bulleta the most in the Vampire Savior games. Dude is badass.
This series is the absolute best. I loved darkstalkers since I was a kid and I just found your series Monday. I have been binge watching everything! You do such a wonderful job bringing back the nostalgia! All the info on the characters is perfect I have learned so much and I thought I knew it all. Thank you so much for this it has rekindled the darkstalker in me !
somehow, I can just imagine Robby Benson voicing Talbain (if you need to know who he is, he's the Beast. Not the Marvel Beast, the Disney Beast)
Jon Talbain, the werewolf who swung nunchucks left and right. AWESOME XD
Jon Talbin in my opinion was an interesting character and some of his moves were similar to Adon and other kick boxing characters.
I hope he makes it in Marvel vs Capcom Infinite. I would love to see him with a 3D model
Tehmazing Muffin if he isn't I probably won't be his only fan to raise he'll at capcom hq.
Came here to say that I am with you. It's time for Talbain to make a playable appearance in his first crossover.
if he appeared in crossover games, I would love to see him have a sparring match with Ryu
I remember seeing a fanart of both characters together
My favorite Darkstalker.....even though I have little knowledge and experience in the series itself. XD Thanks for the history, TNG.
Jon Talbain is a great character. Jon Talbain, Jon Talbain, Jon Talbain..
For some reason, all I heard was Jon Talbain. Over and again. It's the weird name. Jon Tabain.
Capcom should got jon talbain more respect. Out of all the darkstalkers he's still the most popular character around. Hope the next capcom vs marvel game will have him.
I've been searching for the meaning of that final quote for so long and finally, here it is! Thanks man, keep up the great work!
Justice has been done to my favorite character of Capcom....
I think that he has the potential to become one of Capcom´s most know, I thnk that he even ranked top on the character poll in the USA, even being number one dare I say.
And what is the ending music that you use. I sware it sound like SF III
+radiak55 The ending theme is called " Darkstalkers IV Project - Gold Rail Glows "
+Jurassic Reptile thanks Mai Neen Ja
To add that
The DarkStalkers IV version is actually a remix to the version made by GenesisKeys.
And the name of the title is "CPS3 Originals - Gallon's/Jon Talbain's Theme".
That should already give you a clue that it's SF3
bro, the Darkstalkers franchise can easily compete against DC or Marvel, excellent character designs...
This guy deserves his own game
a werewolf and knows martial art
sounds op
Hands down, Jon talbain is the coolest character of darkstalkers
A lycanthropic Bruce Lee? Sign me up!
I've been waiting for the one as Jon is my favorite Darkstalker! Thank you!
Next should definitely be BB Hood
Awesome you did talbain this is a great series love it.
So glad you're doing these! I look forward to every character. Darkstalkers Forever! :)
@The Nostalgic Gamer
Thank you so much for another great video! Fantastic work! :D
You know between Donavan and Jon that makes two western characters who turn to eastern mysticism to control their darker nature... It's almost like a theme.
First character I played as and fell in love with this game.
My favorite character
My favourite Darkstalker
If Darkstalkers have their Spirit Battles, Jon is likely represented by Wolf O’Donnell from Star Fox.
6:38 Sonic the Hedgehog: “Hey, that’s my line!”
The theme at the end is really good
Coolest. Werewolf. EVER.
Fight me.
How does Capcom have one of the coolest character concepts sitting in a vault somewhere and not use him in more games?! At least put him in some crossover art or something...
If Capcom wanted to put a Darkstalkers representative into Smash as future DLC and if ever to promote a future Darkstalkers game, Jon Talbain would fill that slot perfectly. I’m not saying as a fan favorite or because he’s an animal or an anthropomorphic character. But the dream battles Jon can fit perfectly into Smash with the other fighters who have appeared as DLC. Ryu vs Jon is the Street Fighter X Darkstalkers fight everyone wanted to see. And Gallon translates to Hungry Wolf, there happens to be a Terry Bogard who’s title is The Legendary Hungry Wolf.
Well done! I can't wait for the next episode!
A fun tip:
Jon's forward walk lets you walk under projectiles.
..a fun but wasteful thing with Jon in DS3 is activating his wolf pack, dark power, into an ES nunchaku flail. Most wasteful of what I would call an auto combo.
Keep going, keep going! You're doing awesome work here! Can't wait until you cover some of the later characters like Jedah and B.B. Hood!
Absolutely adorable character
it would have much cooler if Talbain's martial arts teacher were the same person who trained Ryu & Ken
I love how one of his early designs makes him look like vega(claw)
As much as I liked the art style of the anime, I hated how the English dub didn't give Jon an English accent. All in all, I am a huge fan of Jon Talbain. I have been since the 90's. He is a dope character and he needs to make a comeback in a modern fighting game.
My favorite Darkstalker✊🏿
"You're too slow"
okay sonic
Capcom should be listening to the fans and see that fans want to see more of Jon Talbain.
I really don't understand why Japan fan hate him but the rest of world love him. He's greatest i all darkstalkers games. But never the others capcom mix games like ( marvel vs capcom 1 to 3, Snk vs capcom 1 to 2, and the others).
The base concept of his character is so ridiculous, and its perfect
To think that Bruce Lee was born the same year of The Wolfman's production.
I really hope when Smash 5 comes around Sakurai includes Jon Talbain as a newcomer to Smash so he can be with his buds, Mega Man and Ryu
That would be awesome, but never.
These are so well composed! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THEM!
this is my FAVORITE character from the Darkstalkers franchise- 👍👍👍
Keep them coming, this are awesome, I hope they do all of them (or at least all of the female characters).
What a sweet remix of Killing Moon.
Whipped a lot of tail using this guy! 1of our fave!!
I rewatch these videos every October and wonder why hasn’t this been made into an anime series. Using the lore from the game.
I love John I've beeten dark stalkers with him
My fav Darkstalker. Imma need that remix of Killing Moon at the end too lol
This was such a wonderful video thanks again nostalgic gamer for such a good review.
Jon should have gone on to play in other capcom titles, it sucks he was left behind
What a great video man. I subscribe
6:36 sonic: hey that it's my line
Man, you should really use this guy for crossovers, already, Capcom! Stop staying stubborn from Capcom Fighting Evolution, just move on! Just because it sold, poorly, doesn't mean nobody would be any new installment from your dormant franchises. Make more Darkstalkers, make more Rival Schools, make more Viewtiful Joes, again! Also, for your next crossover game (If ya even got plans for one), PLEASE add this wolf boi, he's literally one of the BEST Darkstalkers characters, ever, who deserved more than to stay way from Marvel Vs. Capcom, Capcom Vs. SNK or Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom!
My favorite 🙂, him & Felicia are my two favorites in the series & main chracter s.
Nice video, the END song at 6:50 is dope.
Excellent series .keep up the good work
Best theme music in the series!
He was my favorite character
RW:Talbain kinda reminds me of Weregaruumon from digimon.
By the way nice video, can't wait to see who you choose to talk about next.
Here's the theme at the end he used. th-cam.com/video/zQNsqetQHpQ/w-d-xo.html
when i was little i loved wolf and werewolfs cause of sonic unleashed....and now years passed and i still play that game and when i saw Jon talbain (from a random video) where somesaid "and get this...this werewolf uses nunchucks.... nunchucks for a werewolf" and them i saw this video and thats how i loved this character and he is my favorite character to play as in darkstalkers but it sucks that hes not in any capcom crossovers.....(i just want the dlc costume for ameterasu in umvc3)
I believe that John has been freed from his Curse and making his way back Home as we speak
I love this character...wish Capcom game him more love too.
hes so adorable!!
This guy would've made a great addiction to mvc series.
Bulleta/ B.B.Hood next, please!
I swear to god if Talbain isn't in marvel vs capcom infinity, there's no telling what's gonna happen!
Yay! It's back :)
Jon talbain is one of the best characters of all videogames,
Excelent video!
