Art by Gorobots.Darkstalkers Combination Cup 4
The fourth Darkstalkers Combination Cup is scheduled for September 20th. Vampire Hunter singles and Vampire Savior 2on2. There are a few videos from earlier events on the official site here. Vols 8, 9 and 10 — the DCC3 Orekon (Felicia) & Ouchi (Jedah) vs. Shimatsuya (Jedah) & kaji (Lilith) match — are really hot.
For Vampire Savior, there will be five preliminary contests all over Japan. The first one will take place during Nagoya Monogatari 6 the first week of May.
DD and Company's New Diagram
DD Sasquatch recently posted a new Vampire Savior character ranking chart over here. He consulted with the following players: Kosho, Kaji, Shu, Chikyu, KEN and Hai-iro. (The version one committee included Buzz, Sakamoto, Ego and Sasunii, too.)
Figures that changed notably from version one (per Chikyu's input, mostly) are colored green. Two tentative Gallon figures are colored red. DD goes into some detail about why those are hard to pin down.

ReplyDeletePart 1, Part 2, Part 3
As a Talbain player, I'm interested in knowing what they had to say about those matchups. Or like, if they say how those green matchups have changed since then, I'd like to know (as far as I knew, for example, Talbain vs. Bish/Morrigan was always 7/3).
ReplyDeleteOh hi here's the gist/very rough tl
ReplyDeleteGallon:QB
When Talbain gets close is hard for QB to deal with throw [option select rh stuff] but otoh Talbain is wide easy to hit with QBs four hit chain combo so that hurts.
Talbain heavy hit
QB attack loop, defeating guard
Tricky match
Gallon:Felicia
Basically the cat has the advantage. Hard to anti air her jump fierce. Dash strong mixup yadda yadda. Very good low rh.
Nevertheless werewolfs air to air attacks and air-to-surface beast for anti air / beating felicia low rh get a chance to mix her up in corner.
Felicia ESGC doesn't hit well.
Its tough for talbain but hard to put a number on.
