Vampire Savior - DCC4 News Plus Alpha

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.
