I actually finished the game with all characters, witch doesn't mean that I get all the aspects of the game... Still hanging on guard reversals. Somebody found out combos to add? I am waiting for any addition, correction or suggestion. E-mail me or post to this newsgroup. Want to do list: - color schemes: come on, there are only a few missing - translations of the Japanese names of the moves - endings (quotes + descriptions) Sasquatch and more exact versions of the ones given there. Look at Victors for a good example. - any proposals for better descriptions - victory quotes: Bishamon, Pyron, Sasquatch - combos - codes for the Saturn version CONTENTS: # Changes from the previous version # General playing # The fighters # Color schemes # Speed change # Auto-block mode # Quarter and half circles # Move names # Special meter # Pursuit # Throw softening # Throws # Safety roll # Guard reversals # Button specials # Notation # Methods to win # Extra Specials # Thanks to # The moves for each character, in alphabetical order of their performers # Endings # Short moves list # Changes from version 3.3 - All of the names are now taken from the Japanese movelist of the Saturn # Changes from version 3.1 - the faq has a HTML sister at http://www.geocities.com - Got Saturn's NightWarriors manual: All moves are now exact - Added info about Saturn Version # Changes from version 3.0 - added first combo : Morrigan's 54 hit - found minimal motions - found Rikuo's Oyster Smasher history - corrected some ES-moves (imaginary, unknown, real) - finished with all pursuits - major retyping work done - added short moves list - added description of half-circle motions # General playing Kick buttons : Short Forward Roundhouse o o o o o o Punch Buttons : Jab Strong Fierce All move notation (in keeping with tradition) Will be for characters facing to The right. Characters now have very special rushes forward -o -o or backward. Try out the special use of each "punch+kick" means to push relative punch and kick buttons together such as jab+short, strong+forward, or fierce+roundhouse "all punch" means to push 2 punch buttons together "all kick" means to push 2 kick buttons together "all button" means to push four buttons in unison It's actually easier if you push 3 buttons, because you're sure the games registers at least two of them... A dot .o- means charging a little while ES stands for ESpecial-A normal move used with 2 buttons. Uses 1 level EX stands for Extra Special-A unique move which uses 1 energy level GR stands for Guard reversal move # The fighters The coolest is the category for the best moves, style, etc... The best is the best computer-killer The brain is the best computer AI Personal: The coolest The best The brain Victor Rikuo Rikuo Actually 5 votes : The coolest The Best The brain Felicia 2 Felicia 1.5 Rikuo 2 Raptor 1 Morrigan 1 Morrigan 1.5 Talbain 1 Anakaris 1 Talbain 1 Bishamon .5 Rikuo 1 Demitri .5 Huitzil .5 Raptor .5 Also, the best fighter against humans Raptor 1 Demitri 1.5 Pyron 1 Morrigan .5 # Color schemes All warriors can be chosen in eight different colors. Find out your favorite. Use roundhouse to get the classic color of the first game, start to get the alternate color of the first game. There is also a special dark color to get. Hold down jab+forward for this one. Anakaris jab+forward: White bandages, black and yellow mask Bishamon start : Grey skin and blue armor Demitri roundhouse : Blue clothes and aura Donovan jab : Gold and brown robes Huitzil roundhouse : Golden Huitzil Lord Raptor forward : Gray skin and black pants Pyron jab+forward: Full blue flame Rikuo fierce : Golden and purple Talbain start : Gray hair and red pants Note that all of the dark colors look plain cool to me # Speed change You can use normal or turbo speed. In a two player game, the winner chooses the speed # Auto-block mode In this mode, as long as you aren't pressing a button to attack, the computer guards for you. You can walk around not being hit. The computer will guard automatically 10 times per match-up. Being in auto-block mode gets you auto-chain-combos. Push three attack buttons (kick or punches), and the computer chains jab-strong-fierce or short-forward-roundhouse into a combo. You can't make manual chain combos in this mode... #Chain combos In the Darkstalkers Series, there is a combo system that allows you to chain a series of normal attacks together. It involves you cancelling the animation of a normal move into another normal so that the hits come out in rapid succession. To do a chain combo, you must hit the next attack at the precise moment your first attack makes contact. The order you can chain moves together goes in the following: Jab-Short-Strong-Forward-Fierce-Roundhouse Thus, conceivably, you could do a 6-hit combo with all six buttons in sequence if your moves could reach your target. However, you can skip any of the attacks in the sequence; i.e. you don't have to follow up each attack with the next button in the sequence. For example, you can do a Jab, Strong, Forward, Roundhouse chain combo. Or, you can do a Short, Fierce Chain Combo. However, you cannot ever go backwards in the sequence. And while you are chain comboing, you can do any kind of move: standing, crouching, or directional moves, moves that require you to hold a particular direction on the controller... an example is Donovan's standing Roundhouse: you can use either the regular Kick or the Hopping Kick. You must also make contact with the target in order to do a chain combo whether they get hit or they block. You cannot miss the target and still cancel your move's animation. Also, for multi-hit moves (like Rikuo's standing Strong or Morrigan's crouching Jab), you can cancel the latter hits. You are not forced to cancel the first hit. Thus, you could let the move hit more than once and on ANY of the latter hits, you can press a later button in the sequence and cancel the move. Also, once you begin a chain combo, you can no longer cancel a move into a special move. An example: With Felicia, you can do a crouching Forward and cancel that with the Rolling Buckler special move. However, if you do a Jab, Short, Forward chain combo, you can no longer cancel the forward kick with the special move. # Quarter and half circles How many times did you want to make a half circle motion and got a quarter circle instead? These times are now over, thanks to a new move recognition by the game! Let's take an example... You took Rikuo, finished charging up your special meter, and want to nail the opponent with a magnificent Sea-Rage EX o - / | - o + All Punches o o o The problem is that, Mr.Murphy aiding, you get a Sonic Wave ES | - o + All Punches o o Rage! But there is a sure-shot method to make the move you want every time. New in DarkStalker's Revenge is the modified half-circle motion: o - / | + All Punches o o o The fact that you stop the movement in the diagonal ensures that the game doesn't register a quarter cycle motion instead. There no single standard half-circle motion left in the game. # Move names All the move names here are taken from different sources. Mainly from the Darkstalkers FAQ. But every new move and throw that isn't described there is obtained from my own imagination or from the move lists of Mr.Wong and Mr.Griffith. Some of the names may have originally come from Gamest, but I'm not sure if they were in English first... Given the choice, I chose the coolest name or the only one that came to mind. Please e-mail me the genuine names if you want them to appear... # Special meter As you perform hits and moves or block a hit, this bar fills itself up. Once it is filled, it begins to fill again. There is a counter on how many times it has been filled. - blue is for one level - green is for two - orange is for three - and so on Most special moves or throws can be powered-up to ES-versions. This uses one level. The EX-moves require one level also. It appears than having more that one level loaded can be handy as you can perform multiple EX-ES-moves consecutively. Read the descriptions for more infos # Pursuit Once an opponent has been knocked down by your character, pressing or holding up + kick will cause your character to follow up and land on the downed character for an extra hit. It seems that the Short kick hits more often that the Roundhouse. If done with 2 buttons, you get a ES pursuit that does more damage. Best pursuit : Bishamon Best ES pursuit : Demitri # Throw softening If your character gets thrown by the opponent, hitting strong or fierce in the first frames of animation of the throw can have your character land on his/her feet and be in a much better state to retaliate. You can also throw soften hold moves such as Raptor's fierce button hold (Raptor's Bone Thrust). If you hit the fierce or strong button at the beginning frames of the hold, you can flip out right after the first hit of the hold and avoid taking more damage. You cannot soft land after throws requiring a joystick movement. # Throws Each character has a throw o- or -o + kick or punch (except Anakaris). This one can be used in air or on the ground. Each character has special throws requiring a joystick motion and most of them have charged up ES versions. Best throw : Raptor's Bone Thrust Best move throw : Tie : Rikuo's Crystal Lancer and Hsien-Ko's Houtengeki Best ES throw : Raptor's Skull Banish Best EX throw : Victor's Great Geldenheim # Safety roll After being knocked down, you can press toward or backward to move while getting up, so you can elude your opponent. You are invincible to all normal attacks while performing the moving get-up. Also, keep hitting the buttons to recover more quickly and elude the pursuits on your still knocked down character. I try to throw my foe while getting up rather than try to flee... # Guard reversals In Darkstalkers, there is a system of counter attacks called Guard Reversals. A Guard Reversal is the ability of each character to cancel his/her own block into a particular special move, depending on who the character is. To perform a Guard Reversal, you must FINISH the code for your particular Guard Reversal at almost precisely the same moment you block the move you are attempting to Guard Reversal. It is very difficult to perform a Guard Reversal at any given moment because it takes a great amount of timing. However, performing a Guard Reversal against any multi-hitting move is relatively easy (examples are Morrigan's Valkyrie Turn, Rikuo's dashing Fierce, Felicia's Delta Kick, or any chain combos you block). After you block the first hit, you can just repeatedly do your Guard Reversal code motion and there is a good chance it will come out. Note: Anakaris has no Guard Reversal. Best guard reversal : Huitzil Best ES guard reversal : Bishamon # Button specials What I call button specials are EX moves that require you to press four buttons and one direction. To do them correctly, you don't want to wait for the animation's of the punches/kicks to finish before pressing the next button in the sequence. The key is speed. If you perform the code correctly, any move you were currently doing will be instantly canceled and your EX will begin. It doesn't matter which move you are doing as long as it is a normal move (not a special move, not an ES, and not an EX). Try Morrigan's Astral Vision it's the first I ever did. Best button special : Anakaris' Pharaoh Magic # Notation In the following move descriptions, 'you' will mean your character and 'It' the opponent. It is always assumed that you play the character facing right. If you are facing left, reverse the motions for left and right # Methods to win When a round is finished, the winners bubble fill with one of these icons: T - Time - Won by having more energy than your opponent when time runs out V - Victory - Won by a normal kick or punch S - Special - Won by finishing the opponent off with a special move, fireball or special grab ES - ESpecial - Won by finishing off the opponent with an augmented special move EX - Extra Special - Won by finishing off the opponent with an Extra- Special move D - Double K.O. - A round ends in which both opponents defeat each other at the exact same time (trading hits that completely drain the energy of both characters. This can only happen where both players are given "D" in both of their first bubbles and only 1 round remains. If a double K.O. occurs on the second round, the winner of the first round wins the match. If a double K.O occurs on the third round, the computer somehow figures out a winner, but I'm still not sure how... Still trying to figure that out. There are four quotes for winning with every character: One for an excellent victory: Huitzil-"Target neutralized. Threat evaluation: Wimp." Raptor-"Bah! I have no time to waste on such inferior opponents!" Demitri-"Your pathetic attempts to defeat me where truly laughable!" One normal Pyron-"I have crushed stars! What chance do you have against me?" Bishamon-"There is no dishonor in falling before me, it's only natural." Morrigan-"My victories, like my beauty, are eternal!" One for a victory where you where nearly defeated: Huitzil-"Target neutralized. Threat evaluation: Severe danger. Recommend unit upgrade." Anakaris-"You could challenge Ra, but I Pharaoh Anakaris am the greatest warrior of all time!" Talbain-"You skill is great, but mine is supreme!" One for a victory against a copy of your character: Huitzil-"Rogue unit deactivated. Commencing production of new unit." Felicia-"A cheap copy, and I do mean cheap, is no match for me!" Donovan-"Get thee away from me phantom! There can only be one!" The only round that affects which quote comes out is the final one There are also different winning poses/animations that each character has after they win a round. Every character has at least one. There are special poses for special situations, such as getting a perfect (Donovan), beating the computer Pyron (Raptor and Bishamon), defeating the computer Pyron the second time on Round 2 with an EX Special (Anakaris), and holding all three kicks or punches before the pose comes out (Morrigan). There may be more. If anybody knows more... Also, everyone has animations for the beginning of a match and most characters have more than one: one for normal battles and another for when the computer controlled player appears on their own stage. Example: Felicia's normal match entry animation is her as a cat which gets shot by lighting. The cat grows into Felicia who reels with the shock and then gets ready for the fight. On her own stage, however, Felicia appears as a cat walking on the wall for a brief second and then suddenly rolls toward the fighting area towards you and gets ready for the fight. There is also one special entry animation in which Raptor fights Hsien- Ko. Check this one out for a total laugh! # Extra Specials It appears that not every character has 2 Extra Special attacks. Some have 1 (Pyron) while other have 4 (Rikuo). The Move Lists have all of the EX's I know of, and I think it's pretty complete Rikuo's fourth EX may seem like a joke... Ineffective, ugly, and poor damage... The reason for this is that it could in fact be a joke! In the original Darkstalkers in Japan, Rikuo's Crouching Fierce, which has the exact same animation of Rikuo's 4th EX, had to be blocked high but many people complained that it was a cheesy move. So in the American release of DS, they took it out and let you block the move if you were crouching. When DS Revenge came out, the programmers decided to stick the move BACK in the game, but only as an EX and only for the original two colors (Roundhouse and Start). I guess it was a joke or something but it is useful. It might be a waste of a full meter, though. #Saturn's version The Sega Saturn now has it's own version of Nightwarriors. From my point of view, there is very small difference to the arcade. The problem is we have no NW arcade left, so I can't make direct comparisons betweenthe two. Gameplay is intact, but there is a option to speed the game up. All moves are there (I made them all), as far as I saw, some animation is missing: ex: Victors muscles don't move when he does a roundhouse... This version is really no disapointment to me, so that anyone who loved the arcade, or actually anyone who loves fighting games should enjoy it greatly. There are actually two codes known for this version. I heard from the newsgroups (rec.games.video.sega) that there should a third code for this game, but at the time of writing I've got no idea on what the code is or might actually do. Any input will be welcome on this one: Speed code: 8 stars instead of 4 Go to the options screen Move to the line: Turbo speed (with the stars) press X X right A Z (Morrigan's Doppelganger) There should be a sound. You can now change the speed up to eight stars Appendix code Go to options screen Move to the line: configuration press A or C press B X down A Y (Anakaris' Pharaoh Magic) There should be a sound, and a new config line called appendix has appeared. There you can change: Turbo select: on, off, free Auto Guard select: on, off, free Maximum rounds: 1, 3, 5 Background music: hunter, classic, random Scenery: hunter, classic, random Cpu color: hunter, random, classic Animation: full/cut BGM test The full animation is only enabled in mirror matches (same characters), but is worth it, especially with Victor. # Thanks to - James Chen : Morrigan 54 combo, Oyster Smasher, minimal moves, Sword Toss descriptions, main tester co-writer thanks to his work.
