I seriously thought Tessa was a Darkstalkers character until I got Chaos Tower (It was Pocket Fighter's fault).

I would have thought so too If I hadn't played Darkstalkers before pocket fighter.

She's the only non SF or DS character in that game IIRC.

I am a bit concerned about where Darkstalkers4 would take place(if there is one). Up until now, the story mainly takes place in human realm and Jedah's Majigen. Most characters are around B class or B+ with a few exceptions. If D4 takes place in Makai and lots of those A and S classes join the roaster, I believe Demitri, Morrigan, Jedah, Dee, Pyron, and maybe J.Talbain would be the only ones who can stand their ground, but the rest would be far too weak storywise.

I am wondering why capcom has all those A and S classes non-playables and instead gave us those B and B+ classes. Is it possible that those B and B+ we are playing with will eventually grow and take over the A and S classes in background story, somewhat like the French Revolution? Thus make those A ans S classes non-playables insignificant in the story? In other words, do you guys think capcom would sacrifice those A ans S classes non-playables for those B and B+ classes to take over?

I got a character idea "a MEDUSA type character. Yes, Darkstalkers can use a witch, but not Tessa. Finally, how come they can't use those spider-like things from the anime?

Its a liscensing issue. While Capcom liscenses out their characters, the animation studio/production company owns the rites to any original material they put in rather than capcom.

So for the anime, any characters or creatures unique to it would have to be liscensed back the other way for Capcom to use them, the old guys trying to hunt the Darkstalkers, the church guys, the spider demons, the giant foo-snakes, the two headed dragon things, ect...

Just like with the american cartoon, even capcom wanted to they couldn't use with out permission, Harry Grimoire, that british dragon, Terrox, ect...

However when it comes to monsters, they could easily make something simular but not exact and no one could do anything about it as monster designs can be seen as universal.

For instance they could make a Spider-taur, but D&D couldn't sue them so long as they didn't call them Driders or at least give them the same history and stats.

Been messing around in Cross Edge taking pictures of monster's Midnight bliss forms.

This is from the big ugly cat thing with six legs that Judas fights with, looks exactly like Luka from Secret of Mana.

Most dragons have this form

Zuu's form

Those Tyrant grim reaper things

The floating sword boss

Devils

Lizard Man

Werewolf

Big ugly monster that looks like Exploud from Pokemon.

Ugly mole thing

Hairy monster with knives.
