WTS: CPS2 vampire saviour
- Thread starter Mosque
- Start date
Uh VS and VS2 stand alone from each other and should not be considered one in the same. Both titles have equal game play but there are substantial differences between the two. It's not like comparing SuperT to regular old Super Street fighter as far as gameplay.
mainman, you know your cps2 stuff cold. Could you elaborate on what the differences are, for someone like me that hasn't played VS2. What am I missing out on?
Thanks.
Your info will help me make an informed decision, as I'm considering picking this up.
"Released in Japan in 1997, Vampire Savior 2 (ヴァンパイア セイヴァー 2, Vanpaia Seviā) was released along side Vampire Hunter 2 and uses the same gameplay mechanics as Vampire Savior. The game adds Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge characters Donovan Baine, Huitzil (Phobos in Japan) and Pyron to the Vampire Savior cast while omitting Jon Talbain (Gallon), Rikuo (Aulbath), and Sasquatch.
Although the game was never official released in arcades outside of Japan, the game was incorporated into Darkstalkers 3 (Vampire Savior) and later as it's own standard game in the Japanese only release of Vampire: Darkstalkers Collection." - Darkstalkers Wiki
As far as gameplay differences, besides the character selection, VS2 has every character vs Jedah and one ending.
It's not really a replacement for VS, its like a different flavor, along with VH2.

The obvious difference is the slight change in the fighter roster. Due to hardware limitations in this case the transition from VS to VS2 Talbain, Rikuo and Sasquatch were replaced with Donovan, Huitzil and Pyron. Hardware limits were the same deal with Vampire Hunter 2 (1997) which also was a update to Vampire Savior and not Vampire Hunter (1995) even though they both share the same character roster. VH2 was released at the same time with VS2.
If you had to choose between the three I would go with vampire savior but you still will be missing something. I personal like the return of the roster in VS2 but not at the cost of the ones removed from VS. So basically I personally prefer owning both titles.
As far as tweaks in the engine between the two as I said each game stands alone which includes game play, VS2 combos system nerfed some what.
The rest here is pretty much spot on

It's been fun guys! I know IMO means that. But it's actually not an opinion when it comes to combos vs2 has less combos if your into that and no cross ups. That's a fact. I was saying opinion in regards to you liking vs2 roster better. Personally I think the roster took out really important chars. on vs2, They add Pyron? Really? He's like the dumbest character in the vampire series. They also take out rikuo on VS for Phobos. Not a bad character but bad when compared to rikuo. That rikuo theme is so good too!
