Month: December 2017

This year marked the 20th anniversary of Vampire Savior: Lord of Darkness, a.k.a. Darkstalkers 3, and the game continues to enjoy a cult following in different fighting game scenes around the world. At Northeast Championships 18 earlier this month, NYC VSav  managed to capture footage from the tournament along with some first-to-10 sets with the top-placing players.

Vampire Savior has been added to season two of Burst League, an open circuit of anime fighting game tournaments primarily focused in North America. Since September of this year 20 VSAV tournaments have been included in Burst League, including NEC18. The game will also be one of 30 titles at Frosty Faustings X next month, Jan. 19 to Jan. 20.

For those interested in learning more about VSAV, the Shoryuken Wiki has a full breakdown of the game system and mechanics. Once you’re ready to find competition, you can find matches via FightCade or in the Vampire Savior Discord channel.

Some of the most involved and intricate combos in Street Fighter V belong to Rose’s apprentice, Menat. This is thanks to her V-Trigger, Wisdom of Thoth, a crucial aspect of Menat’s moveset for advanced play.

Menat’s high-resource, high-reward playstyle means it’s all the more important to fully cash out on your combo damage when the opportunity presents itself. With the right effort, the extent of your rewards can be pretty crazy: as perfectfaro shows in this video, Menat gets insane damage off of Crush Counters, particularly if she’s already in V-Trigger. With one EX bar and a lot of execution, she can stun the 900-point stun meter of Cammy, or simply chose to go straight into super, if it’s available.
