message: Who wasn't in the OVA series? A lot of characters appeared just to fight Pyron (and lose) but this article suggests someone was missing. Who? Rikuo maybe? --Feitclub 04:00, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
:As I recall, Jedah, B.B.Hood, Lilith and Q-Bee (the newest characters) were not in the OVA. Otherwise, everyone else was a story character or tossed into that scene near the end with Pyron going on a rampage; I'm sure I saw Rikuo in there. -- VederJuda 20:00, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

message: It might be useful to elaborate there, state what other games these characters have appeared in. Most are probably just featured in the Marvel Vs. Capcom games, but if they've made other substantial appearances -- like Morrigan as a playable character in the Dreamcast port of GunBird 2 -- they should be mentioned. --alpha5099 1:45, July 2, 2005 (EST)

thread_title:  Characters with appearances in other series 

message: We need to decide this once and for all: should characters be listed in categories by their first or last names? For example, "Morrigan Aensland" or "Aensland, Morrigan". My suggestion is that for the Darkstalkers characters category, it should be by first name because that's how they're usually refered to in the games. For other categories it should be based on what's done there already; if characters appear in a category where it last name first, then we'll do that. It's really getting annoying seeing people change it back and forth; it's like watching kindergardeners going "Mine!", "No it's mine!". -- VederJuda 18:57, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

message: I play a table top RPG called World of Darkness (WoD) by White-Wolf. My GM is one of the few players who started playing it when it first came out. You may be wondering why I am telling you this. Well, I remember talking to him about Darkstalkers and he said, and I quote, "Darkstalkers used to be an aproved World of Darkness game." Which I take to mean that Darkstalkers used to be considered a part of the World of Darkness universe, does anyone know if this is true?
what exactly does the word "darkstalker" mean?  I didn't see any info on that.
:As far as I know, that's not true... Darkstalkers is completely different from the World of Darkness. However, White Wolf may have mentioned it as an influence in a book somewhere, or made passing reference. That doesn't make it an "Approved Game", especially since who would care that a little company like White Wolf approved a game made by Capcom? White Wolf barely gets any cover space on their own games... --Serow 20:36, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Why should MobyGames not be included? The page has got its own article as well as its own template. The template is frequently used among articles on video games.
::Yes. And in stub articles, I can spy the need for insertion. But WP:EL and other policies dictate that articles that hold suffucent information should have revatively few external links, especially if the site in question posseses less increments of information here. As far as concensus, I do not see it. Many veteran editors such as I remove them on site in regards to the thesis of the article. We are not a link-site. -ZeroTalk 19:47, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I reject some of my previous statement. Most articles shouldn't have many external links at all, that's what editors are for. There should only be an exception when the composition is drawn from said several websites and its listed under references. Somehow, I doubt the claim of this site providing the data for this exhaustive article. -ZeroTalk 19:51, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There is information on MobyGames that would not fit into wikipedia but is still both useful and related to the game - take this for example. Neither leaving this out nor integrating it into wikipedia would be a solution imho. Eliashc 19:57, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually we do have that information. Look at the character articles (Such as Morrigan Ashenland). Its all there. Any other tidbits..? We are not a link haven. Have you read the various wikipedia policies on this yet..? -ZeroTalk 20:12, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The whole staff-section is nowhere to be found on wikipedia, why should it even? And yes I've read the policies. And no I don't mean to flood wikipedia with links - although I do admit I tend to, I think it's not the case in this case. Guess you don't see my point in linking to a resource where the whole staff can be found but I don't care enough to keep arguing. Fine with me...  Eliashc 20:17, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

: Home console versions have all characters, the arcade versions don't (because they've already reached the 48MB limit on the CPS2 board's RAM, Japan-only alternate versions (By the name of Vampire Hunter 2 and Vampire Savior 2) were made to replace certain characters with others that can not fit on the board.

message: There have been a couple of edits now where the credit for the American TV series was changed from DiC to Graz. Searching for "darkstalkers" and either of the company names shows that DiC returns a lot more hits, but Graz seems to return hits that are more closely tied to the production (such as personal resumes), though these are not reliable. My gut feeling is that both companies were involved in the production. Someone who has a copy of the show can look up the credits to see what is what, but in any case we need a reliable source to verify. I don't want to keep reverting edits if they are true, but at the same time the credit for DiC currently has more weight and it'd be preferable to settle the matter definitively than compromise by having two unsourced credits.

message: Well, I finally got tired of the overloaded infobox that the article was using. Since it seems like there is some aversion to splitting up the article, I opted to introduce collapsible infoboxes instead, so that each game can at least have its own clean infobox. So far I've only gotten the 3 main games. I may get around to the other titles eventually, but if someone feels like doing it before me, by all means. Ham Pastrami (talk) 19:46, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

message: While it is often appropriate to group some things together, this particular article 'contains' a video game series, manga, comic, anime, and American animated series.

message: It's just a possibility, and not a very high possibility that we will see a new installment any time soon, or at all. I don't think gossip and off handed mentions by a lone developer should constitute as valuable information. As a long time fan of the series, I have to say that that section will give readers the wrong idea about the prospects of a new entry. Prospects that seem almost certain, but in reality, are not. This leads to cases of misinformation.  — Preceding --184.78.0.157 (talk) 05:27, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: , I know the same info exists in both locations, but List of Darkstalkers characters recently survived two AfD's, so I thought it should be more obviously linked somewhere (since navboxes don't show up in mobile), and I do not want the community's time wasted with a third AfD. I was considering removing the character list from this page since it's redundant if the info exists on a separate page, but I didn't know if removing such a large amount of content would be seen as disruptive. Unnamed anon (talk) 16:28, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a fair point. Honestly I still feel even with the reception brought up the list should be in here, all of that can work into this article just fine and a lot of the backlash was due to the BLAR. I'll put the main link back and approach it again later after I've gotten the reception from the AfD worked in.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 16:32, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I do also see your point in the 2nd AfD that having the list here does strengthen the article's notability, as it directly shows that Felicia, Morrigan, and to a lesser extent Hsein-Ko and Lilith are often reused in crossovers despite Darkstalkers' dormancy. That's also part of why I kept the list on this page even after linking the list's page. Unnamed anon (talk) 16:49, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
