lark about to say "i do know that person" when he sees felicia killed me, like she just comes into his work sometimes or is a friend of a friend or whatever
I believe the thing with Victor's butt is that the artist who designed him liked men with big butts, so she gave him a big butt. John Talbain is funny because he was a werewolf first and a karate master second. He tried to learn karate for self-control to stop the werewolf and all it ended up doing is teaching the werewolf half karate. BB Hood is really cool as well. She's a trained killer who hunts down darkstalkers for sport. Her animations are all attacks disguised as something else, like chasing butterflies or petting her dog. When she actually wields her guns, her true nature comes out.
What do you mean? John Talbain's karate training worked. Before, he was basically a stock standard bloodthirsty beast, but the training has gotten him to the point where he has actual control of himself when transformed. He's still pretty beastly, but he can actually think rationally.
problem: i turn into a werewolf solution: learn self control and self discipline through the use of karate to stop the ill affects of becoming a werewolf problem: i turn into a werewolf that knows karate
bb doesn't hunt for sport, she hunts for money, dark hunter is literally just her occupation. does she enjoy her job to an unhealthy degree? absolutely, anyone looking at her animations and win quotes could tell you that, but those same animations and quotes also tell you she still sees the hunting of the makai's residents as a job first and foremost.
It’s pretty well known at talked abt within the fighting game community, but it’s surprising how it doesn’t get more recognition outside of it given how many things morrigan is in
Dude if you see woolie or Maximilian when someone mentions darkstalkers they always die inside a little because it's so good and not enough people talk about it or give it the attention it deserves
the main reason people don't talk about it is that its just so out of the main streams notice becauseof the time it came out in during the earlier days of the more well known fighting games it was ALREADY an OG thats just sadly how the march of time goes though, the DNA that makes up the current popular media is out meanwhile its influence remains.
i felt so recuperated when they declared Talbain as a "lame fighter." This is a game where each fighter is an MGM toon on crack. How did they include a literal *wolf guy* who *knows karate* and make him devoid of bonkers animations???
Darkstalkers has so many awesome character designs and it’s a real shame that capcom refuses to make any new instalments. I know developing games isn’t cheap, but not a single new Darkstalkers since 1997 is unreal.
Makes me think of the horrible rerelease they did, Capcom pretty much said "if you want a new Darkstalkers then buy this worse version of a game you probably already own, if you don't then no new stuff". It's just really sad and I do hope they bring it back.
Check out the OVA movie for Darkstalkers. It's pretty good if you keep your expectations low. Not much plot and | wish it didn't shaft a lot of characters ion the screen time, but I feel like it mostly kept the general theme of the games. I do want a modern game. But then, part of me is glad it hasn't been become what Street Fighter has.
They're probably trying to get 3d animation down, characters like Dhalsim still look kinda fucky in the newer games so it wouldn't be a stretch to assume most Darkstalkers characters would have a harsh transfer.
When gray said that there's a lot to process at 3:38 it was a subtle reference to the fact the hardware couldn't process all the frames of animation for all the characters so the game ended up looking super choppy, what a smart, subtle reference.
16:05 If I'm not mistaken, the reason Rumor Honeybottoms has that knife and fork animation is because of Q-Bee and that specific animation from this game. I could be wrong though, it could very well be a trope
@@sansprobus7209Cuphead has a ton of arcade fighting game references Rumor Honeybottoms has Q-bee’s Fork and Knife The leader of the Howling aces is based on Cammy Ribby and Croaks are based on Ken and Ryu
@@KingExalted The OTHER leader of the Howling aces is based off of Rolento, Chef Saltbaker's kill quote is a street fighter 3 reference, iirc. The Devil's kill quote is an M. Bison quote, Cagney Carnation does Necro's taunt from Street fighter 3 at the start of his battle.
If you don't know, lilith has a super grab where she forces you to play a mini rhythm game, and depending on how well the opponent does, they take more or less damage
Boss fights with Kenji should be like Sans' fight in Undertale where he counts how many times he's killed you, but here he just tosses another hat into a pile each new attempt
I find it funny on how Grayfruit knows nothing about the mechanics of many of these games yet he knows about SG and can parallel Talbain's moves to Beowulf lol
Skullgirls straight up lifted half the moveset and characer art of this game. Filia for example has about half of morrigans moveset. Fortunes walk cycles is the same as felicias. Etc. It was obvious even before they mentioned it.
Another fun fact: That's apparently called a _fulu_, and is meant to be a ward against curses (I believe the implication here is that Lei-Lei's undead and the _fulu_ was placed over her face when she was laid to rest?)
I love that in each edit it feels like Grayfruit comes back in more and more fighting game knowledge out of the blue, like the next one he's gonna talk about frame data and the recent Evo results
As a neat lil tidbit, there are a few moves in Red Earth that provide unique death animations when used to kill a boss! There's animations for getting chopped in half horizontally, vertically, and a special one for one of Kenji's moves.
@@BoogsNStuff he references his love and being inspired by jermbo, but calling him a clone is dishonest and insolent, I'd say (acknowledging that yer just sharing what you've observed). At a most charitable to this idea of grayfruit being a jerma clone, he'd be a derivative, lolz
Now people understand why fans want Capcom to make a Revival out of this. It's funny, it's sexy, it's weird, it's crazy. It is the grandfather of anime games.
I played a lot of Skullgirls when I was younger (mostly story mode) and even though I knew almost nothing about Darkstalkers I can't believe I didn't realize how much Skullgirls was inspired by it artistically. I may have to go learn to play Ms. Fortune because words cannot describe how cool Raptor is and how much I need to play him...
I love hearing the dragon punch motion referred to as "the z shape" Its just tforward, down, then forward a bit Not blaming you guys, its legit is not a very helpful icon to understand Happy you guys had a fun time, Darkstalkers is one of my fav capcom ips!
Grayfruit, PLEASE play Heritage For The Future. It's such a fun game and the community is small but loyal! It's also a really faithful game about part three with an interesting story mode.
the rock hand is actually to ward you from evil and pointing it at someone is cursing them which casting magic is kinda the same (a lot of old wizard art shows them casting magic while doing that symbol) dio learned it from his grandmother then turned it into a symbol for rock after doing it at concerts or whatever also it's not a kunai on a rope/chain it's a kusarigama a lesser but well known ninja weapon a kama and a kusari-fundo love child made to look like farm equipment but able to take out samurai or whomever they are trying to kill
half circles on old fighting games are notoriously annoying, i think because you cant skip any of the directions, but it's really easy to do so. modern games usually let you skip one of the diagonals or something on half circles
I'd like to say again that I'm a really big fan of your series of street fighter*. I'm a huge fan of fighting games and it's so much fun seeing someone dive into older games like Red Earth and Darkstalkers! Keep it up fruit and bird man!!!
I'm glad that this has finally been given the supercut treatment Also for future fighting streams you guys should try emulating from arcade roms since the PS1 versions of are very undercut, especially if you fellas plan to try out JoJo
The Moment in Red Earth when Lark realized that it wasnt the last Boss reminded me of Prinny, where theres also a big awful powered up piece of armor that seems like its the final boss but then it just isnt. Theres a weird old man afterwards as well.
Similar to Donovan, Huitzil also has a small girl following them around. She’s in the background in a green outfit and crouched down when they’re near her, as if they’re protecting her!
After the Chan-o-Chan Combat video and that one batman reference, I'm starting to suspect Grey F. Ruit has watched every episode of Let's Drown Out, and now knows all the hidden knowledge.
31:55 The little guy Huitzil turns into is a famous ~600 BCE Jōmon period “Dogū” statue. It’s also in Animal Crossing as the “Ancient statue”, and its intricate and alien style served as inspiration for the Shiekah tech in BOTW. (It's also what its big form is based on but it's more obvious in the little one ANYWAYS) The more you know 💫🍆
Hot damn tho, this game’s visuals hold up insanely well. Kinda glad they didn't actually put out a game in 2011; now that we're in a post-Guilty Gear Strive world I can safely say they could capture DS' iconic style and flair in 3D. ...not that they'll ever make a new game, but y'know. If they did.
These fighting games videos are honestly my favorite on the channel! I'd love to see these same shenanigans in something like Guilty Gear, since that series is also ridiculous.
About the 2012 darkstalkers trailer, it seems to be for the ds3/nw release on xbox 360 since that was also 2012. I hope I'm wrong but that's all i seemed to find from a quick search!
I must be getting old, I squinted at the thumbnail like a boomer for like three minutes trying to figure out what in tarnation that creature on the right was supposed to be
To properly address Victor's character design I would like to quote a famous US rapper Eminem from one of his songs released in 2005: "The way you shake it, I can't believe it I ain't never seen an ass like that The way you move it, you make my slinky go Do-doing, doing, doing"
16:17 Fun fact: Anakaris is straight up missing moves that are otherwise universal mechanics on top of his slow and floaty grappler self! 24:35 If you wanna know how crazy the jojo game is, there is a comment that describes it pretty well "Most fighting games are like "Do you want to use a TOD?" while jojo is "Which TOD do you want to use?" 26:44 Now this may not be true, but after this trailer came out capcom rereleased darkstalkers for like the 4th time and capcom used that game as a weird benchmark like "Hey if this game does well we will make a new darkstalkers!" and even though the game sold pretty well it did not make what capcom wanted and so they never made one. Also on red earth's real endings there are some interesting stuff. In one of kenji's he kills his shogun and is dishonored Mai ling ends up alone for some reason and finds a dog And tessa gets in bed with a test tube containing a giant version of jojo's Foo Fighters Plankton!
Indeed, rapter's name is misspelled. You knownwhat I know a lot of trivia about this game so: -viktor has been confrimed as the sexiest character by the artist. She make the but funny and central in some attacks just cuz is funny and hot. -similarly to most-boring-chracter-dracula, Q-bee has an attack that injects so much poison that inflates a character on a specific bodypart with unique animations. -there are 2 animes. Japanese one is a serious but not so good but really good in ambience. USA one has more memes than the street fighter one, Lord Raptor does the most wicked shit like entering an office with a summoned elevator from hell doing the hardest scream ever. -i don't know the kid from hutziel, but the girl from Donovan is the strongest character (a psychic) and I know no more -jedah, same voice actor as Dio, also inspired by jojo -i don't know if you've seen the jedah's standing pose in which he sweats Blood. I think is edgy and cool. -actually, Q-bee has the most porn. Unrelated to the inflation. -of all the characters, I believe sasqwatch is the "joke character", but this game feels like they try to make the characters too cool to be a joke. -lilith's gender has been a discussion for some time. Which is funny. -as far as I know, this is the only fightning game that lets you use all the old specials in the newest game, with the different modes. Probably it's about how fucking hard all the animations look and how sad woul It be to lose 'em. -there is a lot about the samurai and I remember nothing about It -hsien-ko sometimes summons her sister, her sister is the talisman. The name of her sister is Lei-Lei. I guess they're reversed. If I remember anymore, I'll come back. This is still my favourite fightning game. Making a Dracula Jhon Guy with Donovan is interesting aaand the music theme of B.B is fucking sad.
I honestly think that capcom doesn't need the marvel anymore. They have such a wealth of ips that they can make a baller crossover fighter like smash bros
I'm a sucker for all things classic fighting games. I've played a lot of street fighter and BlazBlue but never have seen Nightstalker gameplay at all. After watching this I 100% want to give it a try

I know they probably won't, but I'd love to see them try Heritage for the Future. Fruit man would go insane over the attention to detail in that game.
I’d think that if he hasn’t already, Lark would absolutely LOVE skullgirls
Well looks like my question’s been answered
mrfroot what an excellent series to select
The use of Goosebumps music at the start was a stroke of genius
I remember Fighterpedia talked about that stage, Fetus of God. I miss Fighterpedia.
God I need a new instalment of Darkstalkers just to see BBHood in the hood again
Indeed, rapter's name is misspelled.
You knownwhat I know a lot of trivia about this game so:
-viktor has been confrimed as the sexiest character by the artist. She make the but funny and central in some attacks just cuz is funny and hot.
-similarly to most-boring-chracter-dracula, Q-bee has an attack that injects so much poison that inflates a character on a specific bodypart with unique animations.
-there are 2 animes. Japanese one is a serious but not so good but really good in ambience. USA one has more memes than the street fighter one, Lord Raptor does the most wicked shit like entering an office with a summoned elevator from hell doing the hardest scream ever.
-i don't know the kid from hutziel, but the girl from Donovan is the strongest character (a psychic) and I know no more
-jedah, same voice actor as Dio, also inspired by jojo
-i don't know if you've seen the jedah's standing pose in which he sweats Blood. I think is edgy and cool.
-actually, Q-bee has the most porn. Unrelated to the inflation.
-of all the characters, I believe sasqwatch is the "joke character", but this game feels like they try to make the characters too cool to be a joke.
-lilith's gender has been a discussion for some time. Which is funny.
-as far as I know, this is the only fightning game that lets you use all the old specials in the newest game, with the different modes. Probably it's about how fucking hard all the animations look and how sad woul It be to lose 'em.
-there is a lot about the samurai and I remember nothing about It
-hsien-ko sometimes summons her sister, her sister is the talisman. The name of her sister is Lei-Lei. I guess they're reversed.
If I remember anymore, I'll come back. This is still my favourite fightning game.
Making a Dracula Jhon Guy with Donovan is interesting aaand the music theme of B.B is fucking sad.
I love the combos, the mirage, just going crazy
I honestly think that capcom doesn't need the marvel anymore. They have such a wealth of ips that they can make a baller crossover fighter like smash bros
The perfect stream for my Covid delirium
i played marvel vs capcom in my local arcade recently and lark has NO IDEA what he's looking forwards to, that game is inscrutable
This video came out right after my darlstalkers obsession started
Beowulf the classic .50 caliber assault round
Gotta get through those engine blocks somehow
Hsien-Ko is still my favorite after all this time
something interesting to note is that blades weapon is referenced in the monster hunter ancient/ rusted lance weapons
ain't red thirst the limp biskit guy
Oh my god, the pixel art in this game is fucking INSANE
0:59 I've seen this same sorta "cute girl" art thing with Yuri Sakazaki, fighting games always have weird fan art.
I'm a sucker for all things classic fighting games. I've played a lot of street fighter and BlazBlue but never have seen Nightstalker gameplay at all. After watching this I 100% want to give it a try
I think it would be REALLY funny to watch y’all play guilty gear that game has some insane shit
The protagonist’s name is literally “sol badguy”
It's nearly midnight, this is a good way to lose sleep. Thank you very much, desaturated plant
Please GOD tell me lark ended up convincing him to watch Deathgasm. That movie SLAPS
I hate that this is the first time I have heard of this game and it looks phenomenal it has so mich personality
