Darkstalkers Carnival 2013 starts streaming in a few hours. http://ja.twitch.tv/newton_ooyama Looks like I was mistaken in my earlier post, this year's Carnival actually features DS1, Savior 2, and Savior.

Pink sections are ones with the "ignore hitstop" property. Those sections of animation will continue to advance even during hitstop. So to make up for no DCC this year, Judgement Day is coming back on Dec. 22. Savior 3 on 3, plus Hunter singles. Also the annual Darkstalkers Carnival will be happening the day before. No Savior 2 or Hunter 2 this year, but DS1, Hunter, and Savior will all be featured.

Going by this wiki: High: Victor, Anakaris, Sasquatch, Huitzil Mid: Donovan, Demitri, Bishamon, Rikuo, Pyron Low: Hsien-Ko, Talbain, Raptor, Morrigan, Felicia

She has low stamina in Hunter too. However it should be noted that Hunter only has 3 stamina classes as opposed to Savior's 5.

Start color can't be selected in VH/NW. That's been addressed on the official blog and will probably be fixed in the upcoming patch.

TKO posted a new tier list last month, as well as some matchup info. S: Sasquatch, Bishamon A: Rikuo, Pyron, Huitzil, Morrigan B: Talbain, Anakaris, Raptor C: Felicia, Demitri, Hsien-Ko D: Donovan, Victor Sasquatch has favorable matchups against pretty much everyone. Bishamon and Morrigan give him a pretty even matchup. Bishamon also has favorable matchups against pretty much everyone. The ones that come slightly close to giving him a hard time are Rikuo and Talbain. Pyron has bad matchups with Saquatch, Bishamon, and Rikuo. Rikuo has bad matchups with Sasquatch and Huitzil. Huitzil has bad matchups with Sasquatch and Bishamon. Morrigan has bad matchups with Pyron, Rikuo, and Raptor. Anakaris has bad matchups against Pyron, Bishamon, and Sasquatch. Victor could almost be considered E tier. He's that much worse.

The Darkstalkers Combination Cup used to have a tier list and analysis of each character. Their tier list was: S: Rikuo, Bishamon, Pyron, Talbain, Sasquatch A: Morrigan, Huitzil, Anakaris, Raptor C: Demitri, Felicia D: Hsien-Ko, Donovan, Victor I'm guessing the lack of a B tier is supposed to indicate that there's a wide gap between the S and A tiers and the C and D tiers. As for Felicia, one disadvantage that she has is a low health rating, compared to Savior where it was average. On that subject, Hunter only has 3 health rankings (high, average, low) compared top Savior's 5 (very high, high, average, low, very low).

VSAV2 changes from VSAV. FYI Throw invulnerability in reversal situations was made almost non-existent in VS2/VH2. That's why you have that weird Bishamon throw tech loop that you see in the Darkstalkers Carnival matches.

Fetus of God is wider. It's leftmost camera value is A0, and its rightmost one is 2E0. Compared to every other stage whose leftmost value is 100 and rightmost value is 280.

Here's something just for laughs: This also works in Hunter (although it messes the character's colors up), but I don't know if it works in Savior.

Yeah, Darkstalkers has this property where certain frames of animation continue to animate during impact freeze. It makes recovery time on hit/block different that you might expect at first. One of the problems with Chronicle was that this property was removed, making the recovery of many moves longer.

I think "Phobos" was probably chosen because it sounds like "robo". Likewise with "Zabel", which sorta sounds like "zombie". No clue on Aulbath, though.

As far as differences in Chronicle go, I've heard that Savior Morrigan's c.MK is a mid when it was a low in the arcade, and Original/Hunter Aulbath's Screw Jet is an overhead (?) when it was a mid in the arcade.

A glitch of some sort. I'll try and translate the note about it at the end: "If both players perform ES Henkyouki then LP Ankihou at the same time, they will be reflected infinitely and not disappear. You can accumulate up to 28 Ankihou items, after which no more will come out. Touching them will break the balance and cause them all to fly out at once."

TKO has made a new all-character Vampire Savior combo video. He first released it on this year's DCC DVD, and now he's uploaded it to Nicovideo. He's also made similar videos for the first two games in the series which you might enjoy: Original Vampire Vampire Hunter
