Darkstalkers, known in Japan and Asia as Vampire, is an arcade game developed by Capcom in 1994 on the CPS-2 hardware. It is the first in a series of games that are notable for its cast of characters based on well-known fictional monsters (hence its Japanese title, Vampire) and introduced many of the concepts used in later Capcom fighting games, including the use of sixteen color animation sprites later employed in the Street Fighter Alpha and the Marvel vs. Capcom series. The game features the same gameplay system Capcom developed for the Street Fighter II series, but with several new gameplay features such as Air Blocking, Crouch Walking and Chain Combos. The game featured a Special meter similar to the Super Combo in Super Street Fighter II Turbo, which the player could fill up to perform a super powered special attack. The Darkstalkers concept was a bold move for Capcom, as all of the characters were entirely new and, other than the legends that they were based on, completely unknown personalities. The roster comprises of ten playable characters, and two non-playable boss characters: Anakaris a Mummy, Bishamon a Cursed Samurai, Demitri Maximoff a Vampire, Felicia a Catwoman, Jon Talbain (Gallon in Japan) a Werewolf, Lord Raptor (Zabel Zarock in Japan) a Zombie/Ghoul, Morrigan Aensland a Succubus, Rikuo(Aulbath in Japan) a Merman, Sasquatch a Bigfoot, Victor von Gerdenheim a Frankenstein, Huitzil (Phobos in Japan) a Robot (pre-boss), Pyron an Alien (boss).
