[@odracircomix7359]

the golden age of capcom when there was imagination and originality unbound.

[@Wolfiyeethegranddukecerberus17]

There is, SF6 is excellent, all the new characters are greatly designed

[@Acesahn]

His moves are nuts! What an amazing fighter for any game!

[@betaraytasty5109]

I love Lilith's little reactions in your videos.

[@jcplays5831]

Wouldn’t be surprised if Lilith was his favorite character in Darkstalkers

[@markel9000]

I want you to know that these videos are really fucking good, I love youuuuuu so much

[@meheecan123]

What can we do to let Capcom know that we need another Darkstalkers Series???

[@drumcorps0junkie]

yung Meheecan yeah

[@drumcorps0junkie]

yung Meheecan 👌😎👌

[@AirKangLocker]

Make it mainstream in terms of popularity

[@Rgoid]

“Anakaris, the supreme pharaoh, has awakened! All hail the Imperial . . . pudding! There are lizards in my pants!”

[@TheUPChannel]

"Let's kick Tut!"

[@ronniejohnson3113]

Ive watched and rewatched the "meet the dark stalkers" series and i never get tired of them lol

[@Solqueen86]

Mummies alive! Anakaris!

[@Davethe3rd]

And all this time, I've been pronouncing it "AnaKAHHris"...

[@mr.g9761]

I don't know if you will read this, but a big fan of Darkstalkers and your series. I hope you will finish this series, I need that Jedah episode to sleep well at night.

[@neonredhead]

The spins that darkstalkers did on classic monsters is the greatest part of this series. I mean turning a werewolf into a martial arts master and making my favorite character Hsien Ko.

[@tracyndiyob162]

anarkis is one of my favorite mummies in fiction along with menace from queens blade(especially their neutral but caring morality to their followers and making outsiders there's.) also ingrid jumping between the falling sarcophagus was funny :3.

[@rodimusrider8798]

"He went out for a little walk! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" Seriously though this character is nuts not mentally but design and power wise I hope he returns for a modern fighting game his moves would look insane in 3-D

[@Estmaraver]

I've always loved Darkstalkers, ever since I played it on my PS1 when I was a kid! My favorite was Sasquatch, being short and kind of a goof but also serious when it came to his people... Although not the most popular Darkstalker, a good Sasquatch player can be very tricky.

[@RonaldDregan]

Man Anakaris is now my favorite capcom character !!why not?

[@mercutiolavantine5584]

I hate to play as him but GOD it’s fun to see him fight! So many unique moves and animations!

[@anthonygonsalves7020]

Anakaris' backstory was the most intriguing thing back when I first played Darkstalkers....and well, even to this day.

[@tracyndiyob162]

kinda suprised you didn't mention that anarkari's wife actually appears rarely in some winposes(i remember an old darkstalkers pv where she showed up.)

[@popsicleblues6569]

Holy shit he is so much cooler than i thought! I already thought he looked too lol. Those animations are awesome

[@heathazezero3967]

3:51 is my jam

[@mishikomishiko9088]

My most favourite fighting game character.

[@Space__Burrito]

Such an interesting character and one of my fav his theme song says it all , would love to see jedah next

[@chrishaddock5886]

Glad to see Anakaris get his moment. Sasquatch next please.

[@MrRolyat98]

Thanks for these. I wasn’t surprised to learn that Anakharis drew inspiration from Dhalsim. The character seems to have a lot of fighting techniques and combos but due to his slow movement most people aren’t interested in playing him. Most of these attacks I never knew existed.

[@jalenikezeue4114]

🎼I can feel the ribbon listening to that tune🎧

[@felineki]

I like that you went into Kimo Kimos' penchant for coming up with all kinds of wacky ideas without really thinking through how they'd work in terms of gameplay. That's a trait of his Akiman has also commented on. Kimo Kimo also worked on Donovan, who, like Anakaris, is known for being an interesting but unwieldy character.

[@BonusPokus]

You're on fire dude, love the pacing of these videos.

[@ultimatekd]

So glad you are still doing these! This is a wonderful series and both this and the eponymous franchise deserve more love than they currently get. For your next video, I'd love to see Rikuo!

[@tikalthewhimsicott2736]

One of Anakaris' early design looks sort of like The Hanged Man stand from Jojo's bizarre adventures to me.

[@CouragePope]

Dude this is super quality content your channel deserves far more love

[@moor2k136]

3:51 kills me

[@bolerie]

Would just like to thank you for making these videos, keep it up!

[@heynae2016]

3:54 That's actually kinda catchy

[@Slayerthecrow]

I'm assuming that Lilith would be the last one of this list of Darkstalkers profiles

[@eon001]

Took me years to start playing as Anakris. He's actually alot of fun. He's becoming one of my fave's.

[@apolloeimai]

He also has some of the coolest musical themes of all Capcom characters!

[@MikeDeeJackson]

yes! another video! so glad I found this series. idk why but I really like it. keep them coming!

[@barrythechopper]

"There are lizards in my pants!"

[@PaleLotus9]

Q Bee episode would be amazing due to how obscure she is.

[@Shadowheartmk]

I love that cat @ 1:59

[@yourcreaturesofthenight4502]

Anakaris is my favorite DarkStalker!!!!

[@dirtkills]

I can honestly say im going to be sad when these are done great videos!

[@brazilmugenteam]

Oh, what a nice job you made here, sir! Congrats.

[@Nocturne22]

I'm almost certain that Capcom incorporated futuristic technology into Anakaris' moves based on the conspiracy theory of aliens giving the Ancient Egyptians technology.

[@neetboss]

im loving these videos, hoping you make one for lilith! best girl.

[@MissNessaBless]

Anakaris is a okay character in my opinion. Fun to watch yes, however, I still think he's a very slow character to play as.

[@Vastad]

Great video! Please know your work is appreciated. looking forward to the rest of the Darkstalkers.

[@danielcardenas5680]

Are you going to continue doing this to the remaining characters? I hope so. I'm glad to see a Darkstalkers Fan!

[@samuraiforever9120]

I like to think the mummy in arms might have been inspired anakaris.

[@AdamYJ]

You kind of simplified the Western world's fascination with the "supernatural mummy". A lot of it actually goes back to the Victorians and their fascinations with both ancient Egypt and death. It was writers like H. Rider Haggard and Bram Stoker that actually put the idea into writing. Still, a nice spotlight on an unorthodox character.

[@grandoblivion5268]

MvC2 made me love Anakaris, but in Darkstalkers, he’s easily the best ever

[@StreetFighterWWE]

Would love to see Lilith, Jedah or Pyron in your next installment! These are absolutely FANTASTIC, and I hope you keep it up!

[@Rockleedrunkpunch]

I'm surprised you haven't done Lillith yet, with how often she appears in your videos

[@walter4191]

pleeeease do more of these, I freaking love Darkstalkers

[@priestskorge]

Dude i love these videos man. Your quickly becoming my new favorite channel. Very professionally done high production quality great commentary. Great work man really enjoying this. What is your next project after darkstalkers.

[@jonathanday2509]

I love these videos

[@petertilton7004]

Hey Dimitri, now you know how it feels to be a woman. "All hail the imperial... pudding. There are lizards in my pants."

[@prettyugly166]

what you're doing is awesome keep it up ,now I like even more anakaris ,thanks again.

[@Mattitude23]

Yes yes keep them coming. Love your videos

[@TheCharAZAD]

this is so dope, hyped for the new menat skin in sfv and hopeful darkstalkers news one day, cmoooon capcom. Great video :']

[@johzho123]

These are pretty good! I've watched a good handful of em in one sitting already!, you should do a Jedah one next, would be a great primer for those wondering who he is what with his appearance in MvCI

[@jorgeren8230]

Drop a new one already I loved these vids to much

[@CronosXWorld]

Please do the rest of the roster please? these videos are superb

[@OriginalKasym]

I've never played Darkstalkers, but I feel like every game agaisnt an Anakaris main is just 3000 IQ shenanigans

[@Yagoshi300]

Do Q-Bee plz

[@datrickster8674]

No one: Anakaris: “guys don’t swear my mom checks my phone.”

[@JurassicReptile]

So that's why he was in MvC2 over Demitri, Talbain and Raptor... That.. No it still doesn't make sense.

[@MissNessaBless]

and personally in my experience playing has him, he is fun to watch but very slow to play has him. They should have given the other male Darkstalkers a chance.

[@pharoahman475]

Talbain is easy, japan does not like him.

[@Next-xm2dh]

Pharoah Man Why?

[@hamiltonchannel1185]

Jurassic Reptile Name Five of your favorite Darkstalkers characters?

[@JurassicReptile]

Sack Daddy 11 5.Sasquatch 4.B.B Hood 3.Jon Talbain 2.Hsien-Ko and Mei-Ling 1.Lord Raptor and Le Malta

[@amalfi5000]

What Darkstalkers to do next? Rikuo? Sasquatch? Jedah Dohma?

[@brunotamburro]

Pls go on with more vidz of this series! Jedah, Rikuo, Q-Bee...

[@troyskeete8372]

I LOVE this series. Will you ever do Sasquatch?

[@nintendoangel2478]

ALL HAIL THE EMPERIAL PUDDING!!! THERE ARE LIZARDS IN MY PANTS!!! WELCOME, AMBASSADORS OF HITTE!!! BRING FORTH GRAVY AND DANCING FROGS!!! Congrats to anyone who gets the reference.

[@JAM-3535]

Goated series thank you!

[@anthonyward8184]

Need dat Jedah video in my life

[@Jokerecho3540]

Tiers make tears.

[@shymickey6]

These are great. Love 'em all! X)

[@phorchybug3286]

Yeah. He's pretty cool.

[@Bunihime]

1:12 lol

[@jalenikezeue4114]

I so love Anything to do with Ancient Egyptians it's my favourite topic

[@pharoahman475]

pleasecan the next be huitzel.

[@TeryJones]

3:51 - WhoaWhoaWhoaWhoaWhoaWhoa hold the fuck up, Anakaris has a sword?! A badass looking mummy sword?! Why the fuck isn't he using that beast?! Or does he and I just never saw it?

[@michelcamachomusic]

talk about the darkstalkers music process

[@amalfi5000]

Do Rikuo next!

[@capicomando]

amalfi5000 he is phisically atractive to be a fish man

[@mathewrivera6492]

Q-Bee or Lilith next. Gonna miss this series when all the characters have videos.

[@rogersnick17]

Not many fighting games that let you use an African king with Trunks-travel.

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

He is actually powerful but not a fave of most Darkstalkers fans

[@Solqueen86]

Q-Bee Please!

[@Jutrzen]

Where's the love for Pyron and Huitzil?

[@ErdingerLi]

Really? No Alien origin? I've always thought Anakaris had an ancient astronaut vibe ever since I first saw him. His designs and moves always hinted that "Egyptian culture shaped by advanced alien technology" vibe..

[@BrendonLee]

Please do the Jedah and Q-Bee! Would love to learn more about the Mujigen world.

[@JohnRaines]

Nice. Are you going to do Rikuo, Pyron, and Jedah as well?

[@soulshower]

That's who I use in DS and MvC2!!

[@AQT187]

Can we talk about them Ingrid dodging skills at 6:30 tho?

[@duranmorgan4063]

How about Q-Bee?

[@Thedesertguy75]

still. my favorite characters of any. game. the originality and creativity is so pleasing.... Felicia. is the sexiest gaming. Charater of all time for me.

[@uzernamefail]

YES MY LIFE IS COMPLETE

[@parkerbrown953]

I've always wondered how to pronounce some of their names. thanks.

[@bagsikdangal]

*Hail Imperial pudding!* *There are lizards in my pants!*

[@sirekumasutra7022]

Rikuo or Huitzil

[@edgardust]

Jedah for the next vid, please!
