I decided to dip into Darkstalkers: Warriors of the Night and after two hours of getting beaten up by this annoying, unjust fireball-thrower vampire I must say, after having finally defeated him*:

Fuck you Demitri

*I admit I had to use savestates inbetween each match that I could finally win in order to not lose it, which took me a good while on itself

#not gg #guest darkstalkers of the day #gameventure tag2b named #thoughts for now: rikuo and jon seem friendly #lord raptor's design is the epitome of 90s cool and I am legally obligated to like vbictor #like you might've guessed I HATE demitri. maybe the more I learn abt him the more I'll like him but for now all I got is that he's:#1. smug 2. probably an unfun womanizer 3. his fireball attack has some of the most absurd range I've seen in fighting games in a good while #morrigan is predictably my fav. look she's a fun and inhuman pretty lady with long green hair and stuff sticking out of her head #who's more surprisingly layered and silly-funny than she looks like at first glance. AND she's from a fighting game #guys I think I might have an archetype. one specific archetype but there's at least 2 of these #sadly she apparently gets mischaracterized in related media a lot 💔 even the wiki mentions fan outrage at her writing in the comics...#not a good sign #also imo some stuff is very... well let's say. aged. which doesn't make the game BAD. it's just that you can really tell its age #oh and I wish there was a training mode. the player select screen and the spritework are a delight #and the battles are refreshingly fast paced
