* Okay, so: the power-levels given for various demons say that an average demon can take out a small army of humans by themselves, right? So how on Earth do [[BadassNormal B.B. Hood]], and the other Darkhunters make a living killing them? Further, how could B.B. Hood possibly compete with the other characters?

*** That has nothing to do with it. The Darkstalkers have DBZ-style power levels, and again: an average demon can take out a team of humans who are in great shape, and trained and equipped to fight. The only way they can do that is by being miles beyond human capabilities. Further, the Darkstalkers (ie: the bulk of the playable cast) are miles above average demons. B.B. Hood shouldn't even be able to dream about scratching them.

*** Perhaps the "darkness in her heart" does the real work and the bullets are just superfluous? That doesn't explained why she should fast enough to catch or avoid anything from Pryon, who casually travels between galaxies or bother the robot Huitzil or...you know what? GamePlayAndStorySegregation. The same reason character who hover above the ground can slip on a dropped banana peel. The same reason Donovan bothers with fighting at all instead of letting his flying sword and summons do all the work.

**** Was referring to Raptor, but I guess that applies to her as well. Apparently that flesh colored paint also had a magical side effect of making her and her sister shorter and younger like in their "reincarnated as human" appearances (other than her mvc3 ending, in which she looks exactly the same, only human, though it was a technically a drawing). Speaking of MVC3, apparently the Capcom World is a shared universe in specifically that game (or possibly mvc series), seeing how its the Fate of TWO Worlds (the other obviously being Marvel) and how some of the Capcom characters act as if they already know each other (i.e. Haggar and Felicia, Chun-Li and Zero), though I doubt that carries over to the actual respective canons of each series.

** The official explanation is that on the day Donovan meets Anita, she has a prophetic dream/nightmare of the events to come. Donovan is absorbed into that dream during his meditation. Also Dee was planned to be a Demitri headswap from the beginning, what you see in the PS2 collection was mostly finished back in 1997, just left unused.

* As much as I love the Darkstalkers games, you know what's something that always annoyed me to no end? Donovan and Anita's appearance in Vampire Savior. Vampire Savior takes exactly 16 years after Vampire Hunter. I know because Lei-Lei/Hsien-Ko and Lin-lin/Mei-Ling "died" were resurrected as humans at the end of Vampire Hunter, and exactly sixteen years after that happened (their sixteenth birthday), they were teleported to Jedah's new world. I understand characters like Demitri and Morrigan not aging due to being demons with much longer lifespans, and I can sort of understand Donovan as he is a dhampir. But why has Anita not aged at all?! My guess is that "Dee" (the Evil Ryu equivalent to Donovan) is canon, and Anita's psychic powers have grown to the point that she can mentally project herself younger as well as Donovan to deceive her opponents. Either that or Capcom can just completely retcon Donovan's appearance in Vampire Hunter as not canon, just like how Guy and Sodom were technically guest fighters in the first Street Fighter Alpha.

*** Hsien-Ko, Mei-Ling, and Lord Raptor are also in Ken's stage as humans, and Raptor's skin isn't blue like when he tries to assume a human appearance. Also the presence of captain commando, who won't be around until the future, and Strider-fricking-Hiryu being on that stage implies that all the "Capcom characters" are just cosplayers.

**** I wouldn't mind it so much, but they did link him to the story. Jedah tells Donovan that Anita is destined to become the new ruler of the world. The fact that they at least attempted to integrate him to the story rather than give him just a credits ending means there is the chance of a retcon. Besides, almost all of the events in SFA1 was basically written out of canon due to conflicting events in Alpha 2 and 3. Even though adult Anita was planned but removed later, the fact that they went through the effort of putting her in Dee's ending was what led to my hypothesis.

Someone like Yun in SFA3 goes so blatantly against the canon that it is obviously not canon. The developers never explicitly stated that this game was not canon and nothing really goes against it, unlike something like Street Fighter EX. Besides in Capcom games rereleased games (or at least the latest one) like SSF4 are often considered canon unless retconned by a later game.

** Morrigan and Felica are on Ken's stage in Street Fighter Alpha 2 and Blanka is metioned in one of Felicas endings.

to:

*** Rose? Where'd you get that from? Not only they don't look alike (thus shooting down the theory from the get-go), but it's been stated by WordOfGod that Rose is a SoulJar for the long-lost good portion of Bison's soul (for some time, this troper even thought she was the ''corporeal form'' of said soul fragment, given how Bison pulled a GrandTheftMe on her between ''[=SFA3=]'' and ''SFII'' and all, but ''SFIV'' apparently shot this down as well for me).
** Morrigan and Felica Felicia are on Ken's stage in Street Fighter Alpha 2 and Blanka is metioned in one of Felicas endings.Felicia's endings.
*** It might be another Blanka, or an in-joke by the Capcom staff. Considering the game's timeframe (see ahead in the "Donovan in Vampire Savior" section), that could've been just after Jimmy's plane was shot down and he ended up in the Amazon jungle, and the second World Warrior tournament wouldn't have been for some years now. That, ''if'' there was a SharedUniverse.


Added DiffLines:

*** And what makes you think all {{Updated Rerelease}}s are canon? It's not because ''Night Warriors/Vampire Hunter'' replaced the original as canon (that, or it's been aggregated; not really sure) that anything that came after the original ''Vampire Savior'' will. I say they just threw Donovan in as a GuestFighter without really linking him to the story.
