Darkstalkers 1 [Arcade] - play as Huitzil (playthrough)

This is a play-through using Huitzil / Phobos in the Arcade version of Darkstalkers. Read on below for more information...

Huitzil is the 1st of 2 bosses in this game. He is a non-selectable character in this version of it.

===== About Huitzil / Phobos =====
He is one of thousands of identical robots built by Pyron millions of years ago for the purpose of eradicating all life on planet earth. The robots successfully obliterated the dinosaurs, however a major earthquake ends up trapping everything under the Earth's layer. Many millions of years later, one of the robots were found and unearthed by the Mayans, and was reprogrammed to act as a guardian of Central America against war. The robot was abandoned in the ruins of the Mesoamerican city of Teotihuacan (in pre-Columbian Mexico).

When Pyron returns to Earth, he finds and revives the robot to get it to carry out and complete Pyron's original tasks, but a malfunction causes the robot to instead carry out different orders of guarding a young Mayan boy named Cecil from Jedah Dohma. This robot is of course, Huitzil.

Design-wise, he is basically a transforming robot, equipped with all kinds of weapons at his disposal.

===== Additional Information =====

---- He has an unused Laser move appears to be an unfinished and unused super move where he gears up one of his arms and fires out a beam that lasts very briefly. After this, he is stuck in this animation and you cannot regain control. He needs to be hit out of it by the opponent to regain control.

---- He doesn't have a Special gauge/bar at the bottom of the screen.

---- Despite being an unselectable/unplayable character, he actually has a 2nd colour palette if both players use alternate methods to select him.

---- On the character select screen, if Huitzil is highlighted, pressing Right will highlight Pyron (the final boss).

---- When playing as him in single-player mode, you will not fight CPU Huitzil. Instead, you will skip him and go straight to Pyron. This is because you never fight yourself in single-player mode of this game.

---- On the character select screen, his cursor/position is at the bottom-left of the screen. This position of course changes when you reach the 2 bosses and the grid 'extends'.

---- When playing as Huitzil in single-player, when you reach the 2 bosses and the route character select screen 'extends', you can actually see your own cursor on Huitzil's icon.

---- If you complete the game with him, he actually has an ending with images and animation. However it is incomplete as there is no music, and it has nonsense text being just blocks of the letter 'A'.

===== About Darkstalkers 1 =====
This was the debut game of the Darkstalkers franchise, and is essentially a fighting game with iconic horror monsters. Back then I imagine it amazed (and surprised) fans of the fighting game genre with it's superb graphics, style and animation.
