Darkstalkers in SFV

[gdm314]

CAPCOM, assuming you read this and care, instead of simply having Darkstalker costumes why not have the actual Darkstalker characters? Or some of them. If you are still adding characters every year witht he character packs, surely that would not be difficult. And it would be better than simply costume swaps.

Short answer:No
Long answer: Darkstalkers won't come to SFV or any SF for that matter, they're not fitting the universe and implenting whats basicly anime characters into SF is difficult for multiple reasons.

Only character that can theoreticly make it in to SFV as a guest character is Felicia.
And only becuse of the fact she doesnt have supernatural moves or transforming limbs and the fact Necali exists wuld not make her too much of a sour thumb.
Even psycho power which is suposedly the msot supernatural thing in SFV is not as over the top os what Darkstalker characters can do even necaly a literal non human monster fights mostly using normal human moves.
All other characters would be horribly out of place not that felicia would not be out of place also she is just be the least awkward character.
I gues you could technically also add Human form morgian but she is basicly jsut ryu wit comand grab insted of tatsumaki and we already have roe than enough Shoryuken Fireball characters in game right now.

But in the end im preaty sure msot fans wuld rather get more SF characters as dlc insted of guest characters.

And all of this doesn’t even take into account the sheer amount of development that would go into each unique Darkstalkers character move set and how it would look and move within the game environment itself.

I would personally like it only my boy Oni was included in SFV. But as much as I liked him in USF4, he would just be too much of a boring shoto character for me to want to play as him for very long.

Just a note, they do take place in the same universe, according to the official story (not the udon comics) Darkstalkers takes place along time before Street Fighter, but yeah most of the Capcom games are actually part of the same timeline, just at different points in time.

Didn’t really know that tbh. Makes sense though.

Forgotten World(Two P in final fight), Final Fight, Street Fighter, Saturday Night Slammasters (Birdie was a former wreslter), Captain Commando, Strider, and Darkstalkers are all part of the same universe. And that's just naming a few.

But we really need another "sf vs capcom universe" thing?
However darkstalkers are too different in chara design/style for sf universe, imho.
