INFO

For MUGEN 1.0
Resolution: 384x224 / 768x448

 

Beserker989 did a while ago a screenpack based on the first Darkstalkers game, very accurate to the source material.
As a huge fan of this franchise, surely i did some necessary work and additions in the screenpack.

Contains:
-Intro
-QSound logo
-Win and Game Over screens
-Lifebars with hitsparks
-27 Slots (you can make it have more but it may look weird)

I mean... it looks good... whether it's accurate or not is a different story...

 

a lot of things just... aren't DS1

 

 

there are some compromises made that I can excuse, no animated small portraits, said small portraits are mostly not DS1 (I'm surprised Morrigan and Riquo's portraits are actually the original sprites, doesn't matter if they're shrunk and/or cropped)

 

but also

 

1. All of the big portraits are from Vampire Savior

2. The Special meter mechanic wasn't even attempted to be replicated (though that I'm not too suprised about, because you'd have to do that on a per character basis)

3. The movesets are mostly just Vampire Savior, since from the video, Demitri has his vsav fireballs, his kick throw, his taunt (yes, they were only introduced in Vsav) Midnight Bliss, and presumably his Dark Force (judging from Lord Raptor letting his rip the others likely have it) and pursuit (Since I saw Huitzil attempt one). and that's just Demitri. I get it, you don't want to make all of them from scratch, but at least put SOME effort in removing some moves

4.  There is supposed to be a "KO" splash effect

5. Raptor, Bishamon, Talbain, Morrigan, and Huitzil's stages are NOT from DS1

6. The chain combos here are a lot more freeform than DS1, because in that game you can't alternate between punches and kicks of the same strength. But you could also cancel your chains into specials, so they made that tradeoff for Hunter and Savior.

 

all in all, it's a well put together screen pack, but there are a lot of problems that don't quite make it as source accurate as you might have hoped. I get that this is from 6 years ago (Jeeze louise), but this just ain't "very accurate to the source material" like you claim. Close, but no cigar

 

Lifebars look sick though, have to give you that. And I do think Huitzil is almost completely DS1, almost.
