History ComicBook / StreetFighterVsDarkstalkers

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:On the upside, Jedah's plot is foiled and all people trapped in the Majingen returns to their homes - including Victor, who presumably perished when fighting Bishamon and his phantoms. On the down side, Gill is brought back to life albeit depowered and Ken still has his "Violent" side in him, which awakens when he reunites with Ryu, prompting a fight between the two friends. Also evil darkstalkers like Morrigan are still alive and free to keep tormenting and killing humans]].

* TheCapitalOfBrazilIsBuenosAires: Issue #3 features lost {{Mayincatec}} pyramids in Brazil where Necalli (an Aztec warrior no less) shows up. While there are pyramids located in South America, they are none in Brazil since the local natives weren't as advanced as the Aztecs and Incans who build these monuments. Though in all fairness, the pyramids in these comics were believed to be legends and were just discovered by a archaeologist duo.

* MoralMyopia: Morrigan has killed countless humans to feed on their souls and even kills an archeologist for attempting to save his friend from her. However, when she finds out about Jedah's plan she immeadiatly steps in to stop him, furious that he is threatening the makai world.

* SignificantWardrobeShift: Chun-Li originally wears her Amazon outfit given to her by Vega in the main comics[[spoiler:, which ends up being how Raptor finds her group. When she recieves aid from Gen's spirit and taps into the Satsui no Hadou, her outfit changes to that of her classic Street Fighter II outfit]].

** Ryu is a straighter example, given that he appears in several covers and variants, yet he is absent for most of the series only appearing during a extra-side story and the final issue.

* VictimizedBystander: The two archealogists that find Necalli's pyramid in Brazil. They are tricked and killed by Morrigan, with one of them getting his soul drained and his friend being killed when he attemps to save his partner. None of the other characters of either Street Fighter or Darkstalkers find out about this, which makes Morrigan trying to make an alliance with humans like Donovan and Chun Li the more disturbing.

** KickTheDog: In Brazil, Morrigan tricks two archeologists by pretending to be a wounded human woman. As they approach and one of them helps her to get up she drains him then kills his friend when he attempts to stop her. She callously says she would've had given him eternal bliss had he "waited his turn".
** Gil is a downplayed example. He is defeated and loses his powers, but is still brought to life by his cult.

* WoundedGazelleGambit: Morrigan uses this tactic on a duo of archaeologists in Brazil, by taking the form of a female explorer that twisted her ankle and is completely helpless. As soon as she has one of the men in her grasp, she completely sucks him dry. The other guy attempts to save his friend, but Morrigan hits him against a wall before he can even attack her.

* HoistbyHisOwnPetard: Morrigan frequently tricking and killing humans ends up biting her when Chun Li and her group meet with her just as they are about to fight Jedah. Chun Li obviously doesn't trust her and even thinks she is behind the whole mess, which Jedah uses at his advantage to get everyone fighting each and feed the fetus even more. Chun Li even reminds Morrigan how she's treated humans as nothing but food before fighting, and the battle could've resulted in her getting killed and Jedah winning hadn't Chun Li noticed the fetus draining everyone's energy at the last moment.

* Morrigan and Lilith don't get punishment for killing countless humans, the latter even helping Jedah on her own will. They even get a happy ending since they fuse together and defeat the evil messiah. The last we see of them is when Morrigan is crowned queen of makai and Lilith cheers her up, free to keep going to the human world to kill humans and provoke destruction.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:On the upside, Jedah's plot is foiled and all people trapped in the Majingen returns to their homes - including Victor, who presumably perished when fighting Bishamon and his phantoms. On the down side, Gill is brought back to life albeit depowered and Ken still has his "Violent" side in him, which awakens when he reunites with Ryu, prompting a fight between the two friends]].

* KissOfDeath: How the succubi drains men's souls, unlike in the games. Lilith tricks a group of monks into letting her into their circle, draining one dry before killing the rest with her wings. Morrigan does the same to an unsuspecting archaeologist before killing his friend for trying to interfere. Later, in order to convince Akuma to help her, Morrigan shows him a vision by kissing him. This means that being kissed by a succubus doesn't necessarily mean instant death, since she admits that she'd claim Akuma's soul if she didn't need his help.

* WoundedGazelleGambit: Morrigan uses this tactic on a duo of archaeologists in Brazil, by taking the form of a female explorer that twisted her ankle and is completely helpless. As soon as she has one of the men in her grasp, she completely sucks him dry.

** It happens again on Issue #6 when [[spoiler:Chun-li and her friends confront Morrigan, Lilith, Akuma and Donovan when they are face to face to Jedah, but the two groups fight among each other since 1) A previous duel happened between Chun-li and Morrigan 2) Lilith was responsible for locking everyone there and 3) Akuma is an enemy to most Street Fighters]].

* Many covers show Morrigan as a friendly succubus and getting along with the other characters, such as Chun Li. In the comic itself, she is much more villainous and Chun Li is her main enemy from Street Fighter.

* InfantImmortality: Subverted. [[spoiler:When Donovan's vampire self takes control of him, he impales Anita when she tries to calm him down. She is able to use her magic power to bring his normal self back and seemingly dies on his arms. Then doubly subverted when Elena heals her and saves her life]].

The comic didn't sell well and it became a failure.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Both Morrigan and Lilith are portrayed as sadistic and malevolent succubi, just like the previous ''Darkstalkers'' comics.

* TheBadGuyWins: Given that the comics portray Morrigan and Lilith as evil scumbag, they reuniting and Morrigan being crowned queen of Makai is certainly this.

* CanonWelding: The two comic book series are shown to take place in roughly the same setting, but neither are canon to the games of either franchise and take too many liberties regarding the lore and the characters' personalities.

* Many covers also show Morrigan as a friendly succubus and getting along with the other characters, such as Chun Li. That's the closest she's is to being portrayed right, since in the comics themselves she is depicted as an evil demon, and Chun Li is her main enemy from Street Fighter.

* KarmaHoudini: Infuriatingly, Morrigan gets away with tricking and killing countless innocent people, having complete freedom to keep draining innocent people's souls. Lilith as well, as she helped Jedah with his plan, killed innocent people through the story (even attempting to kill Elena) and never truly realized that helping Jedah was wrong, only helping the heroes to fuse with Morrigan. Not only they get away, but they achieve their goals and get a happy ending (Morrigan gets her power restored and is crowned queen of Makai whereas Lilith gets her true body back).
* KissOfDeath: How the succubi drains men's souls, unlike in the games. Lilith tricks a group of monks into letting her into their circle, draining one dry before killing the rest with her wings. Morrigan does the same to an unsuspecting archaeologist before killing his friend for trying to interfere. Later, in order to convince Akuma to help her, Morrigan shows him a vision by kissing him. This means that being kissed by a succubus doesn't necessarily mean instant death, since she admits that she'd claim Akuma's soul if she didn't need his help. This is one of the many mistakes with their portrayal in the comics, if not the biggest one (aside from being evil demons).

* MoralMyopia: This version of Morrigan is an amoral Darkstalker who has no problem taking advantage of and killing humans, but it's completely enranged when she finds out about Jedah's plan and her kingdom is threatened. She even has the nerve to ask Donovan and Anita for help, having previously killed innocent people before.

* WoundedGazelleGambit: Morrigan pathetically uses this tactic on a duo of archaeologists in Brazil, by taking the form of a female explorer that twisted her ankle and is completely helpless. As soon as she has one of the men in her grasp, she completely sucks him dry, which only shows how much of an evil bitch the comics keep portraying her.

* CanonWelding: The two series are shown to take place in roughly the same setting.

* ContinuitySnarl: The previous ''Darkstalkers'' comics, whose events are acknowledged as canon in this comic, show that [[BrokenMasquerade the existence of monsters is public knowledge]]. This crossover treats the Street Fighter characters just finding out their existence now.

* TheDragon: Just like in ''Darkstalkers'', Lilith serves Jedah as his most important minion, since she is the one tasked with capturing all the warriors and bringing them to the Majigen. However, she abandons him when she reunites with Morrigan and agrees to help her stop him if they [[FusionDance become one being once again]].

* KissOfDeath: How the succubi drains men's souls. Lilith tricks a group of monks into letting her into their circle, draining one dry before killing the rest with her wings. Morrigan does the same to an unsuspecting archaeologist before killing his friend for trying to interfere. Later, in order to convince Akuma to help her, Morrigan shows him a vision by kissing him. This means that being kissed by a succubus doesn't necessarily mean instant death, since she admits that she'd claim Akuma's soul if she didn't need his help.

* StealthSequel: Who thought that they'd adapt [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Vampire Saviour]] as a merger of both the Street Fighter ''and'' Darkstalkers comic timelines?

* WoundedGazelleGambit: Morrigan uses this tactic on a duo of archaeologists in Brazil, by taking the form of a female explorer that twisted her ankle and is completely helpless. As soon as she has one of the men in her grasp, she completely sucks him dry.

* KarmaHoudini: Infuriatingly, Morrigan gets away with tricking and killing countless innocent people, having coomplete freedom to keep draining innocent people's souls. Lilith as well, as she helped Jedah with his plan, killed innocent people through the story (even attempting to kill Elena) and never truly realized that helping Jedah was wrong, only helping the heroes to fuse with Morrigan. Not only they get away, but they achieve their goals and get a happy ending (Morrigan gets her power restored and is crowned queen of Makai whereas Lilith gets her true body back).
