Darkstalkers is one of my favorite fighting games and I think it’s time we finally cover it for a full list. But instead of talking about the heavy hitters of the series, like Morrigan, Felicia, and Demitri, I want to look at the lesser seen members of the series. The characters that appear alongside the main, selectable fighters have some cool hidden lore that we tend to overlook. I’ll be covering some of the most significant side characters in the series, whether they’re in characters animations, backstory, or just a hidden fighter.

Nice list. I liked hearing all the lore the characters have. If they came out with a new Darkstalkers game, I think a Headless Horseman would be a good character. Being on a horse would automatically make him stand out and play differently than the other fighters
You forgot anakaris wife Anamaha ,Donovan's Sword Elementals & Marjorette The Witch from the udon darkstalkers comic on the list.
Go Baby Bonnie Hood/Bulleta!
I've always wanted to create a concept for shadow. Something like Abyss from MVC2. Adult Anita, man if there were sprites for it I'd love to see Dee's ending realized
The Cartoon
Me : USE DEE NOT THAT STUPID IDOIT
wish capcom revitalized this series…
Most dark stalkers charters
I fight by my self
Lord Raptor : You fool I have THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP
Are you doing arcade videos again this year?
There's also Amakaris' wife, Anamaha
Honestly I would feel Anita would be good as a magical puppet master charakter given that she allways has her doll with her.
29:55 "None lethal soul energy" Are you sure it is none lethal? I always assumed she killed people when she feed on their souls.
In her ending, she feeds on Pyron and that kills him. Why wouldn't it kill anyone else?
I would like to see what happened with the third Demon Lord and they are doing?
I learned that I need to know DS lore
Anita super move in Marvel Super Heroes was damaging even when you blocked it.
Q-Bee is my favorite character! Sad she never appeared in another fighting game! 😞
It would've been more fitting for Harry to be a descendant of Van Helsing rather than Merlin. And if a Darkstalkers 4 ever happens I would like there to be a Van Helsing inspired character.
I would love to see a future Darkstalkers game with an older Anita as the protagonist, Dee as the antagonist and Belial as a playable giant boss, which is something the Darkstalkers series has never had unlike a lot of Capcom's other fighting games, preferably with a manageable size like Onslaught and Abyss' first forms.
Nice list! Though I will add that there is another hint of Pyron's siblings also from a non canon source, Teramon from the Darkstalkers cartoon, I think he was Pyron's older brother in that, I'll have to look into it again.
Got to be one of my new favorite videos from you. I had no idea Darkstalkers had all this yummy, obscure lore

Guest characters
Amingo
Ruby Heart
SonSon
Tessa from Red Earth
Arthur from Ghosts' N Goblins
Dante from Devil May Cry
Sorry if this was so long. I had to put this somewhere.
Morrigan – the boobs of the Darkstalkers franchise.
You know, with a good rewrite Harry could be an interesting fighter for the next Darkstalkers since there's little magic focused characters and turning him into a fortune teller or hunter with a more noble alignment would stand out.
Do a top ten homeless fighting game characters
cool video.
I like how you pronounce Huitzil very wrong but with a lot of confidence.
10:04 So Bishamon is like Nightmare in Soul Calibur 3?
Will we also get a "Top ten Rushdown Characters" <3 ?
I'm creating a cartoon. It's called, Forgotten Tales! It's about these forgotten and obscure characters that go on wacky and crazy adventures.
Hm, how interesting, i hope something new will happen with Darkstalkers at some point.
Hm, who are the most recognizable characters in Darkstalkers?
I want to see a Death Battle between Q. Bee vs D'vorah (Mortal Kombat). Just to see who is the one true insect queen! 🐝
The first place really reminds me to the Medichis on the story of Skullgirls, that family is involved almost in every single story of all girls and makes conflicts with everyone. Thank you Mr top your videos are always chill and amazing ❤️
Top 10 forgotten Guilty Gear characters next
Darkstalkers is a fantastic topic to bring on this show.
27:16 Huh…giving Pyron a family is also what the last episode of The U.S. Darkstalkers cartoon did. His hyper competent brother (he's got a name, I can't remember it off the top of my head) shows up and starts upstaging him. I think there's also mentions of like a mom existing as well. Did Capcom Fighting Jamolution really reference an obscure cartoon that had been cancelled for years by then or is there just something in some Lore Bible about Pyron being A Family Man? I guess we'll never know.
Yet to watch but aren't all darkstalkers, like, forgotten?
I always liked how Shadown just leaves the "host" he possessed body to go onto the fallen fighter he just defeated. I also used to think that the host turning grey after Shadown leaves implies that he stole their soul before possesing another corpse.
Marionette & Shadows lore was written into the Morrigan comic book you showed published this year.
Fun Fact the reason why Darkstalkers was alittle goofy 🤪 because the creator who made this game wanted Darkstalkers to have a Looney Toons and Tom & Jerry twist to it.
All of these great ideas for characters wasted because Capcom wants to be cheap and lazy.
Seeing videos like this mae me wanna play Darkstalkers, I most know this series because of the crossovers
In my opinion Dee could easily be The Final Boss of a Darkstalker 4
Especially if he absorbed the Power of his/Donovan Guardians/Spirits
Jesus loves you and died and rose again for your sins everybody
Marionette/Shadow will always be my favorites for all the bits of extra flavor related to them. Their creepy entrances and arcade endings, the fact that you never get an in-game explanation for them, the fact that they visibly fatality the opponent at the end…all perfect.
