Dimitri
The resident vampire of the Dark World. Dimitri wishes to overthrow Pyron to take control of the powers of darkness. He has an unhealthy obsession with Morrigan. Strategy: Dimitri is kind of hard to use. His dark cradle attack only has forward motion if used during a dash. His moves are kinda odd, often confusing people who have never seen them before Battle Plan: If you have seen his moves in action, they lose a lot of their power. Dimitri's specials rely on surprise as much as damage. Almost all of his moves leave him wide open for a counter if blocked. Combos: Similar To: Ken/Ryu Family Stats: Power: 5 Energy*: 7 Defense: 6 Speed: 4 Strength: F Weakness: H Ratio: 2 Special Moves: Bat Flare*: Dimitri sets a bat aflame and sends in at the enemy. (A)(F) Dark Cradle*: A jumping uppercut attack. (A) Vanish Drill*: Teleports upward and flies toward like a drill (A) Vampire Fang: Grabs the enemy and bites them. (Drain) Bonus: When in danger, Dimitri gains +2 energy. Basic Throw: Gives the enemy a hot foot (F) Bonus: Shadow Slide Launcher: Basic standing uppercut Hyper Attacks: Gatline Rage*: Dimitri throws a huge fireball that hits 16 times (F) Winged Aflame: Dimitri turns into a swarm of bats that charge the enemy. 15 hits (A)(F) Nighttime Visit: Slides forward (C), turns the enemy into a girl (if not already) and bites behind a curtain (Drain) Enter: A coffin opens and Dimitri climbs out Taunt: Bows to the enemy Victory: Puts head back to laugh and a flaming aura surrounds Dimitri. Special Block: Draws his cape around his body to block Top |
Morrigan
The one and only horny succubus! Morrigan hates Demitri, and tries to avoid him as much as possible. Her problem with Pyron stems from the fact he has been trying to stop her orgy. Strategy: Morrigan's best tactic is to stay way from her enemy. Her low power and defense make it better to stay back, throwing non-stop Soul fists. If the enemy jumps in close, use a well-timed shadow blade to keep them away. Battle Plan: Most fighters need to stay close to Morrigan. Other projectile users need to outgun or out-smart her. Combos: Similar To: Ken/Ryu Family, Ken most of all. Stats: Power: 3 Energy: 7 Defense: 4 Speed*: 8 Strength: D Weakness: H Ratio: 2 Special Moves: Soul Fist*: Morrigan launches a large ball of energy from her fist. When used in air, travels downward (D) Shadow Blade*: Turning one wing into a blade, Morrigan does an uppercut attack (A) Succubus Flip*: A forward moving kick flip. Hits up to 5 times Jet Wing Slam: Grabs the enemy, turns her wings into a rocket pack, and slams the enemy Air Dash: Dash forward in the air. Either straight and slightly down or down, then forward and up. Basic Throw: Pokes the enemy, finger extends into the wall Launcher: Her wing transforms into a blade that shoots out of the ground directly ahead of her Hyper Attacks: Soul Eraser*: Turns wings into 3 cannons and fires large beams. Up to 32 hits (D) Silhouette Blade: 3 shadows of Morrigan rise out of the ground using the Shadow Blade attack Darkness Illusion: Flies forward (C), splits into 2, and performs a 37 hit combo. Air Twilight Rendevous: Blows a heart at enemy (C)a pink curtain masks the two having "fun". Unblockable Enter: Two shadows of Morrigan combine into a single succubus. Taunt: Lilith Appears and Morrigan pats her on the head Victory: Transforms into a business women Special Block: Morrigan's wings transform into a shield Top |
Lilith
Morrigan's "little sister". When Morrigan was born, the dark gods decreed that she had too much power. So they split her spirit into two and sent part of it into the future. That is Lilith. Just remember, the idea of a 14-year old succubus is rather frightening. The temptation attack listed below is actually a real attack from Darkstalkers 3. Strategy and BattlePlan: Lilith is weak version of Morrigan, so look at her battle plans. Combos: Similar To: Morrigan, Ken/Ryu family; Sakura in particular Stats: Power: 3 Energy: 3 Defense: 3 Speed*: 7 Strength: H Weakness: D Ratio: 1 Special Moves: Sodesune*: Lilith fires a heart-shaped projectile out of her mouth. Short range(A) (H) Shining Blade*: Changes her wing into a blade and does an uppercut attack (A) Skirt Cutter*: Turns wings into blades around her waist, dashes forward and up.

Anakaris
An Egyptian God. Anakaris put himself into slumber after eons of prosperity. However, he recently awakened to find this empire in ruins. Anakaris is now preparing to resurrect his kingdom. Strategy: Anakaris's main strength is his unpredictability. The foot teleport in particular can be quite useful when an enemy tries to attack a flying Anakaris. Also, he has moves that cover nearly every range category, allowing him to attack his opponent nearly anywhere on the screen. Battle Plan: Although he can cover any range group, most of his moves leave him wide open for as much as 2-3 seconds on a miss. This mummy is easily defeated if you can predict his attacks. Combos: Similar To: Dhalsim, Necro Stats: Power: 4 Energy*: 8 Defense: 5 Speed: 3 Strength: D Weakness: F Ratio: 2 Size: L Special Moves: Nile Tentacle*: Anakaris' arms form a single large tentacle (A) Space Change*: Grabs at the enemy from a distance.

Victor
A monster build by a mad scientist. To give life to Victor, the scientist sacrificed his daughter. Now, Victor is on a quest to give the life back the the little girl. Strategy: Victor should fight defensively. He is too big and slow to control the tempo of the fight. Stay back and let them come to you, unless the person is a projectile user. Combos: Similiar To: Hulk, Juggernaut Stats: Power*: 8 Energy: 4 Defense: 6 Speed: 3 Strength: S Weakness: H Ratio: 2 Size: L Special Moves: Ground Shock*: Punches the ground and electricity rises from it. (S) Monster Slam*: Grabs the enemy for a spinning backbreaker Forearm: A spinning attack similar to Zangief's (A) Giga Fist: Air only.

Sasquatch
The leader of a tribe of wild animals living in the frigid north. Sasquatch is fighting to protect his people from the humans encroaching on their lands. Strategy: Sasquatch's specials are specifically designed to work well on defense. He is kinda slow, so use this to your advantage. Let the enemy come to you, and if they won't use Ice Shot and Ice Beam to fire at them. Combos: Similar To: Subzero Stats: Power: 5 Energy: 5 Defense*: 7 Speed: 4 Strength: W Weakness: F Ratio: 2 Special Moves: Ice Pillar*: Freezes himself in a pillar of ice (W) Ice Shot*: Shoots 2 small chucks of ice out of his mouth (A)(W) Twisted Ankle*: Wraps his leg up, and puts it out spinning (A,downward) Freeze Breath: Sasquatch breaths out a cloud that freezes the enemy momentarily (W) Wind Up Punch: Winds up his fist, and punches out.

Queen Bee
The leader of a colony of mutant, evil bees. Her goal is to exterminate all life in the Dark Realm and establish it has a giant hive. The giant bee idea is a better idea then actual fighter. Strategy: Although fairly quick, Q Bee suffers from a lack of variety as well as a lack of power. Her moves are actually pretty good, but her Ratio 1 status takes the "sting" out of the moves. I'm sorry. Combos: Similar To: Marrow Stats: Power: 3 Energy: 3 Defense: 3 Speed*: 7 Weakness: B Ratio: 1 Special Moves: Beeshot*: Forms her hands into a bee hive, and shot 6 bees out of it.

Ouch! Enter: Climbs out a giant bee hive Taunt: Wiggles her butt and stinger at the enemy Victory: A giant flower grows, and Qbee drinks Top |
Rikuo
A fishman trying to destroy the human race to save his people. Strategy: Rikuo as some odd abilities. His poison abilities are worth using, and the Sonic Beam attack has quite a wide range for a Ratio 1 character.

BB Hood
A deranged little girl who dresses like Little Red Riding Hood. When her family was killed by wolves, BB Hood dons her red cloak and goes on a wolf (and werewolf) killing spree. Strategy: BB Hood is hard to use, but that can be an advantage if the other player isn't used to her weird moves and timing. Just use her combos, but try to wait for the enemy to make a mistake.

Very Frightening Top |
Felicia
A cat girl. Felicia seems to be some sort of rock star or singer in the Dark World. In the Darkstalkers 3, she leaves her fame behind to try to defeat the evils of the Dark World. Damn, cat girls rule. Strategy: This cat girl is quick and should be used aggressively. Her defense may be a little weak, but her highly comboable moves and speed allow her to charge right in and beat the crap out of enemies.

Hulitzul
An ancient Incan war mech. Hulitzul is revived by Pyron to defend him from the Darkstalkers. While it does not like fighting, Hulitzul will defend himself and his master by any means available. The little boy is the last survivor of the ancient civilization that built Hulitzul. He reacts to the fight, cheering when Hulitzul hits and looks afraid when he is hit. When a hyper is done, a shield forms around the boy. Strategy: This bot is loaded with fire arms. Use them. Although Hulitzul has high defense, he really isn't that good at melee combat.
