Introduction
"Come On Baby!" This is Demitri, an incredible character from the Darkstalkers series. He may look like a Shoto(He has a fireball and a good DP), but he is very different from them. He is great to use in this game, and very unique compared to the other characters from this game. If you never played a Darkstalkers game, he can be hard to you, so learn at your risk. Now for his Good and Bad Things:
The Badass Vampire's Good and Bad Things:
(Note: Some of the things below are compared to the Darkstalkers series, only for those who used him in that game, so if you're used to some of his strategies, sorry, but you'll need to change part of them.)
Good Things:
- Fun to play;
- He is very good for intermediate players;
- Nice walking speed;
- Can approach and run away from the opponent with ease in the battle(Yeah, he is free);
- Has a great zoning game in MAXIMUM Move;
- Can use ES projectiles(In the ground and in the air) and Pursuits(More details about pursuits will be on the Command Moves section);
- Can do Hunter(aka Savior) combos(More detais will be in there too);
- His Exceed can beat probably any projectile in the game;
- He still has his teleport dash from his game(But it isn't a normal dash, and you can still followup with his different DP);
- Has unblockable Supers(He can still do some of his setups with the dash);
- Can do damaging infinites on MAXIMUM Mode.
Bad Things:
- Cannot combo with his Supers(Don't worry, he can combo with the Exceed);
- Has a high standing/crouching hitbox;
- Doesn't have air grabs/Special grabs anymore;
- Cannot use his DF(Dark Force, and he would be broken if he had it);
- His MAXIMUM Mode infinites are only possible on the corner;
- Cannot link normals in the air(In Vampire Savior he could link some of them);
- He still don't have quick overhead options;
- Cannot block in the air anymore;
- Cannot do Tech Hits while blocking(He can GCF/CD cancel instead);
- Exceed doesn't knocks down.
How to Select Demitri
Hmm... So you really want to play with him, huh? And you're using the Arcade version of the game in an emulator? Don't worry, really... You can select him by cheats, or even with an input in the Character Select screen. It is here:
(While holing start) Right(3x), Left, Up, Right, Down, Up
After that, just press a button(Not the directional ones) to select him. Oh, and there are some hacked versions of the arcade version(You can play one of them online on Fightcade, and Demitri is selectable in there). Remember that this input needs to be done before the timer reaches 10(ten).
