Do we?

Capcom has changed.

Theres never going to be another game mate. Fighting games is fucking niche as hell already and moat people dont even care about moat francjises besides SF and tekken. Even the sf is already in ruins after thet desaster that is 5

I don't want it to come back. Those that want to play it can do so. Those that don't will continue image dumping and shitposting. Inb4 Boco.

wow the nipples are too high up in that pic

Do you think she would like a ball of yarn?

I don't trust modern capcom to faithfully revive it, vsav is good enough for me

>Those tits

Fuck proportions, right?

After SFV?

Nah man. Its like the old guy in Pet Semetary. "Sometimes...dead is better..."

While I'll agree that Capcom these days are pretty sketchy, I'd at least like to see an attempt at a new one.

Maybe sell it to Arc System if that doesn't work?

You're talking about a Darkstalkers character, proportions don't fucking exist for that game.

...

God I wish it was possible for Arc System to make a Darkstalkers game. Guilty Gear's current style would look way better for Darkstalkers than current Street Fighter.

I don´t know, how about some of you play at Fightcade, motherfuckers? You have it free and it works on a toaster. There are always like 8 people in the fucking room and nobody plays.

The game is not going to return if nobody plays, idiot.

I'll go back further: after SFIV? No way I'll trust Capcom with anything until they gain back that trust.

I always wanted to play a game with Blanka and J. Talbain on the same team. I'm kind of disappointed that it never happened.

This. Or get Resurrection so some of that money goes to Capcom

i do

I though 4 was considered good?

3S was da bes

Not by my friends or me, that's for sure.

After how shit SFV ended up?

No thanks.

I hate when an artist can render nicely but can't do structures for shit.

>new DS by ArcSys
>new Soul Calibur by TN

Someone needs to make it happen.

It's hard for any fighting game to maintain a playerbase after so many years. 3rd strike is really the only one.
also CUTE.

>Soulcalibur by Team Ninja
Fuck no

No

The more you play the game the more you realize its fucking dumb. Nobody wants to deal with shit like Sasquatch and Zabel

Nice work then but in KoF there are like 200 persons and at times at 3S there are like 100. We really need more people if this has to work.

...

if people dont want to play darkstalkers and just jerk off to the characters instead, there's really not much we can do

Art Design: yes

Gameplay: fuck no

Hey, where's Primal Rage?

I don't have a problem with asw games gameplay wise but I would prefer it if they just went with a more updated version of the gameplay from ds3.

>Bloody Roar 4 that low on the list

I still don't understand why people hated this game. I actually enjoyed being able to permanently maintain beast form when you transformed with a full gauge, and Reiji seemed almost busted if you could use him well.

And maybe i'm tired, but I don't see the first Rival Schools on the list.

...

I'm not saying their gamplay are bad, I just love the feel of DSs gameplay

Because the game was a broken mess that was released while it was still in its Beta/Alpha stages

Give Felicia her muscles back.

yeah, so now her breast are level while her shoulders are not.
Great job, but don´t quit your real one.

She does look nice with a little bit of tone.

...

Wish Capcom was willing to take a chance like Microsoft did with Killer Instinct and try to recruit new fans to the series as well as old ones.
But Microsoft has money. Capcom does not.

Never there will be again a more stylish set of characters designed for a game again

>tfw Morrigan and Lilith has the same hip size

>Capcom doesn't have cash

What are they doing with all of that Street Fighter money? And don't they have other IPs that are currently profitable.

Nah, the best art is that of her with big powerful arm and leg muscles and a nice stocky torso.

That's how all feral cat people should be.

I'd pop a gigantic boner and immediately die if they did this and did a Guilty Gear x Darkstalkers crossover game.

SFV didn't hit their sales goals so it wasn't really profitable. Also they have Monster Hunter which is a massively popular franchise.

This is why it's dying, waifufags always corrupt it and don't play it

Felicia is cute

Putting it into games that aren't Darkstalkers. Also, I think the Panta Rhei engine cost them a fuck load of money.

At least there's the crossover comic, I guess.

That should be fun. shows that Capcom hasn't 100% disregarded the series outside of Morrigan shilling.

The preview they showed of that comic is ass. Characters acting out of character and Udon is using their own canon.

You ever get the feeling that the Darkstalkers crew secretly wanted to add Shuma Gorath to the cast?

If any character was going to get fucked for not taking a fight seriously it would be Morrigan though.

True. A pity, really.

That'd be nice. The series needs more doses of Lovecraft.

SF5 could have still made money even if it didn't hit the 2 million mark. It wasn't even that far from the goal anyway. Plus you have to factor in Sony funding some portion of the game so if money was lost, it wasn't that much for Capcom. You also can't really ignore every other thing that's been selling well enough for them.

SF3 was a MUCH harder hit for the company and I'd be more worried about Sengoku Basara considering how much of a drop the new game was when comparing first week sales to the last one

the thing with SF is that when a new game comes out, people start saying "Well the previous entry wasn't that bad."

The same thing will more than likely happen to 5 when SF6 comes out. You'll have people saying "well it got better as time went on."

>danon
The way he draws nipples makes me erect.

That's pretty neat.

It won't come back unless someone funds it. Nobody even plays it.

Everyone laughed at DSR saying they'd play it on fightcade but only a handful of people actually do.


From a business perspective, of course the folks giving out funding for the games would be hesitant to do so for an IP that's been asleep since the 90s. It's a risk and Capcom doesn't have money like people think they do. Most japanese devs don't.

Yeah it was Popular in arcades in the 90s but things have changed since then. Budgets are much higher and the series never really did that well on home consoles compared to SF and the Vs Games. Capcom doesn't have that sweet arcade money coming in like they did back then.

DSR "testing the waters" gave the suits data that just told them "it wouldn't really be a wise investment"

It probably won't happen. But old series have come back before so the dream always lives on.
>Sweet arcade money
I really don't know what they were thinking skipping the arcade phase.

How often should I be trying to hold a charge for BB's missiles? Also, are the hunters any good to waste meter on?
Fucking love playing this character.

missiles are for anti air or finishing combos and generally controlling space
most of her supers are pretty useless

I actually read that the MvC3 team specifically demanded Shuma being allowed on the roster, they were largely indifferent to losing Venom and some of the X-men, but the eyemouth tentacle monster was a special case.

Well duh. It's Japan. Tentacles and what not.

Darkstalkers vs Killer Instinct when?

So what happened?
Shouldn't it be in the game?

I'd play it.
Would be cool is Darkstalkers vs Street Fighter became an actual game after the comics. I kind of miss any Capcom vs game even if MvC3 had pretty bad balancing and SFxT was just bad.

He is. Just as DLC. Which is no longer available.

All that and we could have gotten John Talbain instead.

I know...I know...

yo, that is what im working towards
muscles are hard shit to draw, but i want a big powerful cat lady. i mean shit, she would be by the time darkstalkers 4 hit

Stop tripfagging.

>Also, are the hunters any good to waste meter on?
You can try whipping that one out against characters that will be up in the air a lot during a match. Gotta watch out for full screen punishes and the like though.

How come we didn't get the SFV story stills to look even a tiny bit more quality like this than the way they actually turned out? Not that I cared for any of that but still.

Yeah man I hate the dumb cutesy way felicia's done these days. Her bio describes her race of cat people as being super strong and vicious. Hell even her concept art has her baring her fangs and flexing her back muscles.

It's one of the reasons I liked Aisha in Outlaw Star. She was fucking mean and strong and vicious.


Besides, if you're gonna make a cutesy cat person, you should make it a boy.

They probably rushed him a lot when he made these.

Still a really fun cover art. I appreciate Jedah vs. Gill happening way in the back.

yeah, its in bengus's art, she has some muscle even without flexing and dem delts is big

That does look a whole lot better than their usual output.

Rushed, also probably didn't pay him enough.

I just want Best Bot back.

Such a fun character to play as in Hunter2/Savior2. Too bad no one gives a shit about either of those ones.

post more lei lei

I understand Raptors crush.

I love AULBATH

At least, I´m not the only one with this idea. My ideal game would be something like this
-Funded by MS.
--Fighting system is a mix of MvC tag team and Killer instinct Combo system.
-Same online system of KI.
-Big Roster.
-Art, animations, and characters models by Capcom.
-Music by Mick Gordon.
-Xbox Play anywhere.

Surprisingly attractive for a fishman.

My second favorite character.

Darkstalkers Resurrection would have been pretty cool if it included Hunter & Savior 2 or had an arranged version of Savior 1 for online with all characters.

I want to kiss his green lips

is there anywhere to go for combos and learning the game in general?

You mean his fish lips?

I feel like if Darkstalkers 4 happened instead of Street Fighter V, the FGC would be much better off than it is now

I just get a big sense of exhaustion and annoyance from people when it comes to SFV, it's a big mess of a game and there's already some big burn out

Capcom is gonna end up killing SF at this rate, there needs to be other fighting game IPs being put out by Capcom that isn't reliant on fucking SF all the time
