So, miraculously my LCS got a copy of the newest issue in Udon's little Darkstlakers/Street Fighter shared universe. Lets take a look and see what they've been up to, shall we?

But first: look at that Talbain. Soak it in. Yeah.

Lemme get you up to speed. Ever since Udon did that DS/SF crossover, they've been releasing one-shots that continue the story. The main crux of the plot is the Shadow Soul (ya know, the hidden fighter in Vampire Savior) possesses/merges/whatever with Jedah, which for some reason causes him to become his Midnight Bliss form.

So BB Hood gets a bunch of Darkstalkers and Street Fighters characters together to stop him. Her. I didn't read it, and I can't find it anywhere online.

Anyway, they must have lost or something, because now half of Chicago is merged with the Makai realm. And Morrigan is being a bitch about it.

I have no clue who these people are. If Udon introduced them in an earlier issue I must have missed it.

Part of me wonders if maybe they should have used the Red Earth cast, but nah. They don't need to be dragged into this.

Technically correct. If you mean Skottie Young, then no, he did not draw this, it was drawn by Brett Bean (It's in the credits), who was the artist of the second run.

Whoops, sorry, I thought you meant Skottie since their art styles are somewhat similar and I always assume that if people refer to "I Hate Fairyland guy" they refer to Skottie since the first run where he was the writer and artist is the most known run of the series (There are still people that don't know I Hate Fairyland returned as an ongoing) and we are already 2 issues out of Brett Bean's run as the series' artist.

>which for some reason causes him to become his Midnight Bliss form.
What a strange premise. I just listened to a Darkstalker Lore video that explained Jedah like Demitri and Morrigan is one of however many in his race and simply the most prominent because he's the most powerful representative of them in Makai, they could have just had Shadow Soul possess and power up another female soul eating demon during Jedah's absence.
>So BB Hood gets a bunch of Darkstalkers and Street Fighters characters together to stop him.
I can't see why Bulleta would ever split a bounty or work with monsters.
Very strange.

Thanks for the effort though, I guess some Darkstalkers content is. Well, I hesitate to say better than nothing, but it's something.

The whole thing feels out of character.
While the usually easygoing Morrigan of all people is giving a stern speech about how dire the situation is and what needs to be done about the slaughter happening across Chicago, then Cammy strikes a cute pose upon being introduced. She has been and can be cute, but this isn't the time.

Lilith is suddenly labelled as a protector of innocents.

Some random nobodies pipe up to tell Morrigan to leave their presence, even though since she's still an Aensland, Makai ruler or not, she has full right to be in the castle and they have none to even be speaking to her directly.

Gill the leader of Earth's Illuminati is just chilling solo, humoring all this.

Also I have no idea where this sits in the Darkstalker timeline or if something happened before this to explain it since there was some offhanded mention of Demitri and Jedah being dealt with, but Donovan and Hsien Ko the dark hero figures aren't there.
None of Felicia's catlady kin are around.
Talbain would be the most rational werewolf to depend on, but there are Wolfpeople in Makai who should be under Morrigan's command that aren't there.
Akuma, the closest to a Darkstalker, isn't there to fight things that would surely give him a challenge.

And why the hell does Morrigan need to focus her nature to go out to battle? She's one of the most powerful Darkstalkers without effort, can teleport and split herself in two.

Yes, of course, the infamous Makai Seven consisting of these 500 random people I've never seen before... and Morrigan and Lilith.

The only one who should even be in this room is, arguably, Jon because he's distantly related to the Kreutz clan, which he has absolutely no idea of and probably wouldn't care about anyway considering his whole shtick.

She as a demon varies in how much shes gets away with being a true monster depending on a type of medium, in that card game, shes basically a villain and in the marvel games shes a seductive whole who isn't above enjoying killing an opponent.

She doesn't need to be a paragon, it's just puzzling making someone who's specifically the most carefree and least dour of the cast act like Nick Fury.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diVng5woVQc
She's a spoiled princess, a seductress, a goof ball, a reckless powerhouse.
Weird ceremonies and rallying speeches are more Anakaris or Jedah's thing.

This couldn't have been more simple. Morrigan and Lilith should have just been curious what's going on outside, decided to go see for themselves against the protest of their keepers, who then gathered the nobles and arrange all this offscreen in narration boxes while everyone else is brawling.

She rules a kingdom of evil creatures that feasts on human lives and souls and has ex attacks that actively seduce and drain the victims life essence. The bitch is a asshole to fellow capcom women so shes definitely not a friendly person.

>>149356093
I disagree, I feel she has to justify being a s class god like being that comes from hell and doesnt have any interest in playing by then, her lore has her setting revolving around villain protagonists, and she herself isn't a heroine, shes a party girl who accepted being a queen of demons and monsters who hunt the human world and dark. I never liked her being a girl who chills with Spiderman or Amaterasu when shes likely to eat or seduce prey from their homes or lands for fun. She needs to be like Mxyzptlk, a stranger who looks for fun and games but in the heroes perspective and narrative her actions are a force of evil if let unchecked. Morrigan as a villain feels more compelling because it creates more opportunities for her foils or heroic rivals to shine and develop, like Felicia or Chun Li or Ammy, they would oppose her and stop her immoral neutral ways and demonic sense of hedonism to allow true idealism to shine.

I don't like Morrigan always getting her way, makes her a Mary sue and one note wish fufillment gimmick

>Beautiful, sexy, confident, conceited, and playful, Morrigan may be called many things given that she is a succubus, but she is not truly evil despite her heritage as a demon of the Makai realm. Instead she is friendly and approachable, perhaps in part due to her frequent visits to the material world to pursue her hedonistic tendencies and has found herself willingly aligned with the forces of good on many occasions.

>>She likes humans, loves to fight, and feeds on humans without killing them.

Which makes no sense and is a gaslight exaggeration of who she would be if shes paired with family friendly characters like the Marvel Superheroes and Street Fighter cast. In a mature and darker story, shes a monstrous/intelligent demoness and a demonic queen and traditional succubus if you consider her games having her basically Anti Christ ruler of Makai and Makai is a world of evil. That's why Udon is good here, they're making her more than a one note Mary sue gag and more a fleshed out character that makes sense what makes a Darkstalker a Darkstalker.

>That's her family's whole unique trait, they can non-lethally drain people.

But that's lame and a cop out from keeping her from being a actual demon that's not meant to be a good guy.

So...what's the point of this ritual? For Morrigan to fight with no restraint? She's already one of the strongest characters lorewise, and is the defacto strongest in her ending in 3.

How is it a "gaslight exaggeration" and flanderization if that's literally who she is?

Shes killed Pyron, and shes cool with her subjects killing humans to survive. What is canon anyways, shes for killing others based on her victory quotes of she has too as shown in the mvc games, so shes not truly good.

Morrigan doesnt have a concrete personality udon is just canonically revealing her in a light where she acts more like her more believable self where she could not care less if she works for good guys or bad guys. Not her family friendly flanderized self in crossover games.

She's never taken a NAMED character's life. She's been fucking and feeding on humans for a LONG time. WHat part of "succubus" don't you understand? Her title doesn't mean she doesn't need to feed. She eats SOULS, not just a little life energy from a guy who gets to go about his life like nothing but a booty call happened. She leaves men withered corpses.

I hesitate to ask but where is this hate towards Morrigan or desire to see her be Maleficient or something coming from? Is it contrarianism from how popular her r34 was back in the day? Or her being the most prominent face of Darkstalkers over whoever else? Salt over Chris G's attrition strats in MvC3?

As far as I'm aware the character hasn't said or done anything in any media appearances yet it seems like people want her to have a downfall as ruinous as Ironheart, sans the Bendisisms.

I have a bit more context now, but remain torn.
Chun Li going Gen, and Shin Morrigan taking out the Fetus was fine, but Donovan and Anita only being as significant as allowed or prevented plot progress wasn't, nor Akuma kill stealing and I'm still wary about the characterizations and developments in this but it's not like Udon is official or the sole source of adapting Capcom stuff anyway.

The soul of slop that sells only because of the licensing. All 4chan would need to do is for anons to raise like $342 dollars to secure the publishing rights from Capcom and make some quality comics.

Nothing, just what you see in the games themselves and what's written in the official guidebooks. That's generally true for Street Fighter as well.

The Trouble Man by Eikichi Yazawa. It was used for the japanese PSX intro song of Vampire/Darkstalkers, the OVA, and the shitty US cartoon used it in the credits as well. That crap cartoon's ONLY saving grace. So this song is basically a Darkstalkers' tradition. I would love to see a crossover fighting game that has a character intro trailer where a Darkstalkers character is revealed and The Trouble Man starts playing.

There's a couple good short manga continuities. One of them by... Run Ishida, I think?

The OVA has this weird post-apocalyptic status quo that I don't recall being mentioned for the games. Good animation and ending theme, though.

Yeah, it's pretty much the anthem of the Darkstalkers franchise much like how "Itoshisato..." is Street Fighter's. It'd be hype if it played during an announcement of a new game, but alas...
