Vampire Savior for Dummies: A Beginner's Guide

[@dingusdangus9299]

What I learned form this video is that VS invented literally every mechanic in fighting games.

[@Vic_v._Gerdenheim]

Not even 5 minutes after the premiere and you've already got bots. Here's to all the Victors heading into Capcom Fighting Collection!

[@stalkerstomper3304]

Hopefully they've prepped with my Victor Combo and Tips Guide on my channel, especially Part 4: The Great Geldenheim 3 video! Get out there my fellow Darkstalkers and get the hype out!

This is gonna be the second fighting game that I'm going to practice seriously. I started 3 months ago with KoF 98/2002 on Fightcade and got my ass handed to me for 90% of the matches. Not gonna lie, I expect a similar situation with this game, but I just looooooove the characters and animations of the Darkstalkers franchise.

[@rrrrr0_]

same - everything from the franchise is so alien to me but i just owe it to the iconic character designs and aesthetic of the game i've been fascinated by for decades!

[@RaSungodFGC]

Im considering jumping into this myself as a mk/street fighter player. How was it for you, you still playing? You enjoy it? Greetings from the future.

[@RetroGameQuest]

Thanks for the video! I was feeling nostalgic and wanted to pick this game up, but I only played very casually back in the day. This was what I need.

[@InfinateRadiant]

Just got this game with the collection. Haven’t played since the 90s. Man does it feel good. Can’t decide between Talbain and Sasquatch!

[@PuellaSins]

Hey thanks for showing off some of my footage at the end when you talked about Vampire Hunter, that was awesome! This was a very informative and well done video! Can tell you put a lot of thought and time into this!

This is the guide I had been waiting for for years, THANK you just subbed, can’t wait for more videos!

Hope you keep making Vsav videos man. Your love for the game shows and you have a fun personality for it. Every time I come back to this to refresh on some of the mechanics I'm overcome with the urge to go practice my Lei Lei.

[@gwitch]

Thank you for all the work you put into these!

[@Cmaximus7]

Thanks for the vid man appreciate. Never had the chance to play this game and with no fg i really like rn im going back to see what i missed.

[@Dunbeezytv]

Amazing video!!!!

[@stalkerstomper3304]

Wow man... love it. So happy to see you not only post a new vid, but a deep vid. Love ya my fellow Darkstalker buddy... keep bangin' it out my friend! One last note, Dark Gallon is mostly cosmetically different, but he does actually have a bit less health points, though I believe it's only 15 less. And tech rolls can be controlled by distance too, not just direction, by using different strength attack buttons.

[@AmeriKameVictor]

I heard about the dark Gallon thing, always thought it was a unfounded rumor

[@vstalbain]

@@AmeriKameVictor It's not hit points, because no one has lower HP in VSav (everyone has 144 HP, and a different defense modifier). The difference is that Dark Wolf's damage proration at low life kicks in later than regular Wolf, making him worse (but so inconsequentially worse that it's not worth worrying about). This was confirmed on the SRK forums a long time ago by one of the really old VSav scientists named Xenozip, but I'm sure that post has been long lost to time. If you wanna know some exact values, I'm sure Kyle W can hook you up with that.

[@stalkerstomper3304]

@@vstalbain Ah! Thanks for the clarification, and yes I agree that the damage difference is pretty much inconsequential. The modifier explanation makes sense, as I've tested Wolf's damage received against a full life bar bat, and it seemed as though he had about 10 to 15 less HP depending on his opponent when low in life. I thought I read spmewhere in the past too that HPs were equall but damage modifiers being varied between characters. So the best I could come up with was that it was though Dark Wolf had 10 to 15 less HP when low. Again. thanks for the clarification and reminder for others to see. Hopefully, VSav will prove to be popular for the new upcoming release, though it's pretty safe to assume most people outside of Japan will purchase it for its other games. We'll be lucky if we can get a good 6 months of regular competition daily before it dies out like Resurrection did.

[@Polk]

Definitely interested in seeing that Sav2/Hunter 2 video. I've been playing the Fighting Collection and very much enjoying VSav, but I'm not very good yet

[@VileLasagna]

Keen on hearing more about them balance changes. Also I'm really surprised that to this day there seems to not be a romhack that just adds Pyron, Huitzil and Donovan in, since technically this isn't being run on CPS2 boards any more anyway

[@murph_archer1129]

Thanks for this. Cant wait to put some time into this as it's my first fighting game

[@corel7966]

i suck at fighting games in general but i looove darkstalkers (especially vsav) so if i want to enjoy myself a little and not get my ass whipped in arcade mode i gotta learn a thing or two at least... thanks for the vid!

[@jdestroyer9721]

Great work on the video I hope to see more!

[@jjh01harmon38]

Fun fact, the names were changed in Japan, NOT in a America.

[@bloodykenshiro8218]

Very nice video. I only really got to play the lousy PS1 port of Savior years ago, so I'm sorta rediscovering this thing now. Hopefully the collection will get more people into playing Savior 2 and Hunter 2 because the split roster has always been an annoyance of mine (and I like Hunter 2 for restoring the old, character specific songs). I still think the collection should have included the PS2 version (Vampire Collection) as an AIO solution for those that would prefer to have a full roster without dancing around different games.

[@snake_eater1963]

thanks for the vid. found out about this franchise through marvel vs capcom 3, became a big fan of morrigan and felicia, next thing I know im trying to main them in 2 separate games at the same time lol

[@frshcooking2450]

Amazing video thank you for the info

[@chimps121]

really sick video! only feedback would be, if you can, to record at 60fps so recoverable life shows up properly when you're demonstrating the game. this is a super pedantic point and almost no one would notice but it's the only thing i think that would be an easy fix that directly improves the video.

[@ghostl3]

Wdym not even 1000 subscribers this is an incredible guide

[@gundamsdm]

1) Es Moves with which 2 buttons exactly? 2) In "Guard Cancel" section, is "623" a DP or Reverse DP or something else? And how do u do either one while blocking? 3) I'd probably need an entire separate video just explaining Links & how they differ from Chains, but maybe that's just me. BTW great video!

[@anongoldster9915]

The Es moves are usually two punches or two kicks depending on the move and character

[@gundamsdm]

@@anongoldster9915, Any 2 punches or kicks or do they have to be a certain strength based on certain characters?

Yeah but in a different way. I was way too ambitious and wanted to make this giant video with voice guests from a ton of pro players. Predictably that fell through, but I wanna do smaller 5-10 minute character guides. I got a few in the lab but my work flow is terrible lmao

[@jotakux7489]

I see people in tourneys and commentators constantly warning to turn off dark force before the timer runs out. I don’t understand, why should people turn off dark force before the timer runs out? Is there some kind of benefit to turning it off early or some kind of penalty for leaving it on till the timer runs out? Yes.

I know this video is years-old but is the Capcom Fighting Collection version different from the Fightcade version? I notice some of the combos and stuff I find don't seem to work on CFC version. I learned about Fightcade afterward and when I try them on Fightcade they come out like nothing.

@@AmeriKameVictor Hey no worries, as an ADHD-afflicted goblin I totally get it. And shorter videos are good too, you can make one big one out of them at the end and double dip, like That Blasted Salami does with Their character overviews. Loved the video btw.

If your interested in Vic I already made a 3 part victor tutorial lol. I have a few other character guides written up but I'm very slow on working on things. Out of curiosity, what other characters would you like to see?

[@temoharri8848]

@@AmeriKameVictor Sasquatch, Albath, Bishamon, Hsei-Ko. The whole game is rather saucy for move potential. My main experience of Darkstalkers comes from the early on Marvel vs. Capcom games. I used to play Felecia. Though I really fell in love with Phobas the other night playing one of the new CFC Darkstalker games. I tried out some of the stuff you were showing off with Vic in the Vampire Saviour game last night. I think I could really like Vic, even though he sort of struggles against projectile users like Demitri.

[@stalkerstomper3304]

@@AmeriKameVictor If you got a minute, I could really use your personal advice. Hopefully you can help. I didn't have ANYTHING before this afternoon. Not a ps4, not the game, etc., so I picked it all up at my local Gamestop. Everything is still in its packaging unopened. Should I return everything for a full refund and just pick up the PC copy? I put about 500 bucks into the ps4, game, and accessories. I wouldn't play anything else on the ps4 other than the new collection. The way I saw it was that the scene will probably dry up within 6 months to a year, and then I'm left with needing Fightcade on my PC. Seems like I may as well just return everything for a fat refund and just spend 40 bucks on the PC version, and then upgrade to Fightcade when the PC version of the collection dries up online. What do you think? Take your experiences in the FGC and where competition plays regularly and help me decide my friend. I could use your experienced opinion. Thanks!

[@AmeriKameVictor]

@@stalkerstomper3304 the majority of longtime players play on PC. We'll almost certainly migrate back to FC when the collection dries up. There's probably a higher player count on PS4, more new faces than anything. If you think playing more players now is worth the extra $500 it say keep it but personally I'd just return it and get the PC copy. Also I'm poor as fuck lmao so that may be influencing my thought process
