* FranchiseKiller: The hastily-released [[NoExportForYou Japan-only]] arcade [[UpdatedRerelease updates]] ''Vampire Savior 2'' and ''Vampire Hunter 2'' are widely regarded as having heavily damaged public interest in the series. On top of being [[CapcomSequelStagnation slightly modified versions]] of ''Vampire Savior'' (and said modifications being largely disliked), [[OneGameForThePriceOfTwo the roster was split between two separate games due to hardware limitations]], and the ''Vampire Hunter 2'' [[NeverTrustATitle title was misleading]] due to the original ''Vampire Hunter'' being a fairly different game gameplay-wise. Even the fact that three previously dropped characters were brought back into the mix wasn't enough to counter all the negatives, and series' remaining fans quickly abandoned these versions in favor of previous entries. Every ''Darkstalkers'' release since has been some kind of port of the existing entries in the series.

Creator/UnshoIshizuka voices him in the ''Vampire Hunter'' OVA.
** Creator/AkikoYajima is the voice of Anita in the ''Vampire Hunter'' OVA.
** Creator/MichikoNeya voices Hsien-Ko in the games, except in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'', where she's voiced by Creator/SaoriHayami.\\
\\

\\
Creator/MayaOkamoto voices Mei-Ling in the ''Vampire Hunter'' OVA.

\\
Creator/StephanieSheh is her English VA in ''Cross Edge''.\\
\\
Creator/YukaImai is her seiyuu for ''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom'' and ''VideoGame/CrossEdge'', which counts as a case of TheOtherDarrin from the original series.
** Creator/IsshinChiba is the main voice of Jedah, which makes Jedah the Darkstalkers's version of [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Dio Brando]]. So, expect a lot of '''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!~]]'''-like [[EvilLaugh laughter]].\\
\\
TravisWillingham is his voice in the English dub of ''VideoGame/CrossEdge''. Oddly enough, he delivers all his lines like Roy Mustang talking about making female officers wear tiny miniskirts.
** Two voice actors from ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' also star here (in the OVA). [[Creator/FumihikoTachiki Gendo Ikari]] is Jon Talbain, and [[Creator/YukoMiyamura Asuka Langley Soryu]][[spoiler:/Shikinami]] is Lei-Lei/Hsien-Ko.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The OVA was initially released by Creator/VizMedia on VHS and DVD, but those releases are now out of print. Fortunately averted now that Creator/DiscotekMedia has picked up the license.
** The american ''Darkstalkers'' cartoon, along with the ''Street Fighter'' and ''Mega Man'' cartoons, was distributed on DVD by Creator/ADVFilms, before going out of print due to the company going under. Sadly, while the ''Street Fighter'' and ''Mega Man'' cartoons have been license-rescued by Discotek Media, the ''Darkstalkers'' cartoon has yet to be rescued, though Discotek license-rescuing the OVA as noted above has given rise to some hope.
* NoExportForYou: ''Vampire Hunter 2'' (Which features everyone in ''Vampire Savior'' sans the characters introduced in that game) and ''Vampire Savior 2'' (Which features everyone in ''Vampire Savior'' except Jon Talbain, Rikuo and Sasquatch; plus Pyron, Huitzil and Donovan) never left Japan. We ''did'' get ''Darkstalkers 3'' though, which is sort of a mash-up of the two.
* PlayingAgainstType: Demitri's voiced by Creator/NobuyukiHiyama. This doesn't stop him from having some {{hot blooded}} battle cries.
* TalkingToHimself:
** Creator/NobuyukiHiyama voices both Demitri and Pyron. In ''Night Warriors/Vampire Hunter'' he gets a third character in the form of Donovan.
** Creator/YujiUeda voices Jon Talbain, Lord Raptor and Rikuo.
** KanTokumaru voices Anakaris, Bishamon, Sasquatch, and Victor.
** Creator/JurotaKosugi voices both ''Huitzil'' and ''Donovan'' in ''Vampire Savior 2'' and '"Darkstalkers 3''.
** In the western cartoon, Creator/ScottMcNeil voices both Rikuo and Lord Raptor.
** MiyukiMatsushita voices both Q-Bee and B.B.Hood in ''Darkstalkers 3/Vampire Savior''.
* UnCanceled: Well, not quite, but Yoshinori Ono of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'' fame is pushing to do this with the series. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_skngJlTDg A teaser trailer was released affirming the possibility of it happening]], but he said it will only be greenlit as long as enough fan demand gets through to the higher-ups. This is part of the reason ''Darkstalkers Ressurrection'' was announced.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: There were plans for a fourth title in development for the CPS-III system. It is said that Vampire Ace (or Vampire Soldier as it's been called in some places) would have had the core gameplay of Vampire Savior with CPS-III fluid characters. The reasons for the cancellation are unknown.
** Every character's final design and story is a far cry from the original intention:
*** Demitri had a much more minimalist, agile-looking design.
*** According to the ''[[WordOfGod Darkstalkers Graphic File]]'', Morrigan was originally going to be the "cute" character of the series, while all of the sex appeal would go to Felicia.
*** One of Morrigan's preliminary character designs eventually became Jedah, which is probably where they got the preliminary sibling relation from.
*** Lord Raptor was supposed to be a vengeful zombie soldier from WWI, hence his birthdate being stated to be in the 1800's--they forgot to change it to reflect the metal image.
*** Bishamon himself was going to be possessed and not wear any armor.
*** Rikuo looked "like something straight out of the CthulhuMythos".
*** Anakaris was a slender pyramid guardian.
*** John Talbain looked more man than wolf and had extremely long claws on one hand.
*** Sasquatch was an animalistic brute bound in chains.
*** Victor was a complete lift of Karloff's Monster before being modified into a robot.
*** Huitzil was a much more modern robot designed for labor. He also had an unfinished super in the first game that was abandoned and never brought back in any of the sequels.
*** Pyron's looks varied too wildly to do justice in such a small space as this.
*** Donovan underwent through a large amount of changes:\\
\\
He was originally a stereotypical Caucasian Vampire Hunter with a broad-brimmed hat that covered his eyes, resembling a masculine Vampire Hunter D or Van Helsing. As designs changed some Asian martial artist themes were added with braided hair and a nunchaku like weapon. Finally we were given the Hinduism/Buddhism themed dhamphyr.\\

\\
Creator/RichardEpcar is his english voice in the ''VideoGame/CrossEdge'' dub.
** Morrigan is voiced by Yayoi Jinguji in most of the games where she was present. The only exceptions in Japanese are ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'', where she was [[TheOtherDarrin darrin'd]] by Creator/RieTanaka, and her guest appearance in ''VideoGame/{{Gunbird}} 2'', where she was voiced by Creator/ReiSakuma, who also voiced her in the ''Vampire Hunter'' OVA.\\

\\
Creator/ErinFitzgerald voices her in the English dub of ''VideoGame/CrossEdge''.

\\
[[Creator/ScottMcNeil Scott]] "[[WesternAnimation/BeastWars Dinobot/Rattrap/Waspinator/Silverbolt]]" [[Creator/ScottMcNeil McNeil]] is his voice in the ''Night Warriors'' OVA, and is the only one to reprise their role from the cartoon. His Raptor voice is so well-received to this day that fans are practically demanding him back if Darkstalkers 4 is ever made.
** Creator/JurotaKosugi is the voice of Huitzil in the games.\\
\\
In the ''Night Warriors'' OVA, he's voiced by WardPerry. You're listening to [[VideoGame/FatalFury Geese Howard]] ([[TheAnimeOfTheGame OVA only]]) and [[Anime/RoninWarriors Rowen of the Strata]]. [[ByThePowerOfGreyskull Armor of Strata!]]
** Pyron is voiced by Creator/NobuyukiHiyama.\\

*** Some rough animation concepts shown in ''Darkstalkers Official Complete Works'' give insight into ideas for moves that didn't make the cut. An anchor could have been among the many weapons Hsien-Ko produces from her sleeves, Huitzil's Confusioner could have involved him summoning a large radio-controlled drone with a grabber claw, and Demitri's Demon Billion seemingly could have been a utility super that allowed him to perform different moves while transformed into a cloud of bats, including jabs, uppercuts, and converging bites.
