Darkstalkers 3: Vampire Savior - Strategy Guide (Page 04)
Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Darkstalkers 3: Vampire Savior - Strategy Guide (Page 04).
6.5) DX MENU EXPLANATION
I put on the left the Menu line, and on the right all the possible options and their proper
explanations
1P DX CANCEL ==> You can select between OFF (default) and ON,if this option is ON you will be
to do some fantastic and otherwise impossible CANCEL COMBO. In other words
this option gives you the possibility to cancel your combo easily than
without it, also you will be able to do some cancel combo otherwise
impossible. Always for the 1 Player.
2P DX CANCEL ==> Just like 1P DX CANCEL, only for the 2 Player.
1P SECOND JUMP ==> You can select between OFF (default) and ON. If ON your character wll be
able to jump 2 times. This works for 1P.
2P SECOND JUMP ==> Same as 1P SECOND JUMP, only it works for 2P.
BGM TEST ==> You can play with X and stop with T (triangle).You can select the group of music
by pressing UP or DOWN in the left menu, you can select a music of the selected
group by pressing UP or DOWN in the right menu.
6.6) ORIGINAL MODE LEVEL UP CHART
You certainly noticed playing the "ORIGINAL CHARACTER"that there is a limit in your character's
status that doesn't make you go any further;one thing that probably most of you didn't noticed
is that this limit is not always the same. I mean, the "standard" limit is Power 8, Life 2 and
SS Gauge 10; you can change this limits making certain things...
The limits DON'T depends on the following things:
- the character you chose
- the colour you chose your character
- the mode (DFC or DFP) you chose your character
- wheter or not you change the character's colour with the apposite COLOR MENU
- the difficulty in the option menu
- any other things
This mean that you can chose any character, in any colour, in any mode, at any difficulty BUT
the limits of its status will depend ONLY on... guessed already?? Yes, by its name.
So according to wich name you give him its maximum status will change, here follows some
examples.
note: I'm sure theese all works for the american version, I don't know if it's the same for the
Japanese version but i believe it's all ok.
name Power Life SS Gauge
SHADOW 2 4 99
MARIONETTE 4 4 50
$ 4 4 50
ECAILIF 6 3 99
FELICIA 6 3 99
? 6 4 99
$$$$$$$$$$ 6 4 99
AKUMA 8 2 10
BERIAL 8 2 10
BULLETA 8 2 10
GOUKI 8 2 10
JAE 8 2 10
LEI LEI 8 2 10
LEI-LEI 8 2 10
MORRIGAN 8 2 10
LILITH 8 2 99
AFKPUZ05$ 8 4 10
DONOVAN 8 4 10
ARTEA 8 4 99
Well, theese were only some examples, I'm sure all of you would like to make his own names
OBVIOUSLY knowing before the status it will result in.
I.E. the perfect condition would be to have a good name (a name you like) and the max status
(8-4-99).
Eheh,I've really passed SOOOO many of my nights on it that you couldn't trust me even if I
were to tell you... but I've FINALLY discovered the laws that regulates the names creations,
so i can tell them to all of you and you will be able to develop his own "perfect" names!!!
As I told you before the status depends ONLY by the name you give to your character, it works
this way, all letters and symbols have a rating, so you take all the letters of the name, you
add all of their values and the result will be a number that identificates what the max status
will be; it may sounds complicated but follow me at least a few more lines, I'll make some
examples and you'll surely understand it all!!!
This is the table in wich you can select the letters ans symbols to create your character's
name.
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O
P Q R S T U V W X Y Z . ! ? &
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 $ - + / \
<== _ END
These are the "values" of every singol letter or symbol, take it in the following scheme...
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 11 11 12 13 14 15
<== 0 END
...Or if you prefer take it in this sequential list.
_ ===> 0
A,P,0 ===> 1
B,Q,1 ===> 2
C,R,2 ===> 3
D,S,3 ===> 4
E,T,4 ===> 5
F,U,5 ===> 6
G,V,6 ===> 7
H,W,7 ===> 8
I,X,8 ===> 9
J,Y,9 ===> 10
K,Z,$ ===> 11
L,.,- ===> 12
M,!,+ ===> 13
N,?,/ ===> 14
O,&,\ ===> 15
Obviously "END" and "<==" have no values.
This is the points table, when you have the result of the addiction of all the letters of the
name watch in this table to know what will be the max status. Remember that when you have a
result greater than 15 you have to restart in the table, so 16 is like 0, 17 like 1, 18 like 2,
19 like 3, 20 like 4 and so on, understood???
Points Status
0 8-2-10
1 8-2-10
2 2-4-10
3 2-4-10
4 2-2-99
5 2-2-99
6 8-4-10
7 8-2-99
8 2-4-99
9 2-2-10
10 4-3-50
11 4-4-50
12 6-3-99
13 6-3-99
14 6-4-99
15 8-4-99
Now some examples just to make you understand how it all works.
Let's take for Example the name "JAB", J (10 points) + A (1 point) + B (2 points) makes 13
points: the status for 13 points is 6-3-99, infact a character named "JAB" will have 6-3-99 as
maximum status; understood???
Let's try another example: "JACK", J (10 points) + A (1 point) + C (3 points) + K (11 points)
makes 25 points, as you know when you surpass 15 you have to restart from 0, so it will be like
having 9 points, so 2-2-10 of max status for the name "JACK", is it ok now???
Eheh, and now entertain yourself in developing POWERFUL characters in original mode!!!
6.7) BLOOD IN DARKSTALKERS 3
As you may have seen, the american version of DARKSTALKERS 3 has no blood, well, to be truth it
has "magically" become white... Thanks to the american programmers of CAPCOM. -_____-
Only some special move of Jedah has the blood, all the other has a "white" blood, at the
beginning I even didn't noticed it was blood.
I'm still searching for a GS/PAR code that permits to see the blood but until now I'm still far
away; if someone have the code please send it to me, you know my email address, isn't it??
Anyway I don't think (like many of you who sent me a letter) that the Blood is indispensable.
I play with the game and with its characters and their special moves; no matter if there is a
lake of blood or not.
It's not the presence or the absence of the blood that makes a good or a bad game, isn't it???
Toghether with Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Real Bout Special Fatal Fury : Dominated Mind,
Darkstalkers 3 remains one of the better conversion and one of the better 2D beat 'em up ever
produced.
No matter if there is Blood or not, I don't play with blood, but with the game and its
characters.
Someone of you doesn't agree with me? Feel free to write me your impressions, I'll publish them
in this FAQ if you want.
6.8) CHARACTERS ENDINGS
- JEDAH :
In the ending, Jedah says that all lifes began with one life form and that to correct the
errors of this world he has to go back to the beginning.He has to recreate life to save this
world. Then the "Fetus Of God" (the child seen in Jedah's background)appears to be assorbing
energy as Jedah stand in front of him. Then a strange green babe appears and Jedah says that
before he can make the demon world into the primary world of this dimensional plan he has to
destroy the human world as soon as possible. He has to detstroy it before its savior come to
life, before SHE fully awakens. (Is the green babe the savior of the human world? And it a
female savior?)
- BABY BONNIE HOOD (BULLETA) :
In the ending,a wolf family watches a newscast on TV about how a serial killer in a red hood
is ruthlessly massacring wolves. One of the wolf children watching the TV says that he is
scared, but the mother wolf replies that the father wolf is always with them. Outside the
house, we see Baby Bonnie Hood. One of the best ending, you MUST see it!!! ^_-
- Q-BEE :
In the ending, Jedah wonders why Q-Bee interfered with his plans. Q-Bee's fellow insect
population keeps increasing, and we are left to wonder if they are doomed because of over
population.
- LILITH :
In the ending, Lilith almost reaches Morrigan, but vanishes before she can do so. When
Morrigan wakes up,she puts on an isis ring, which her servant says is proof of the master of
the Aenslad clan. Morrigan wonders why her left hand desires to wear the ring.
Perhaps Lilith has already reached her own body even if she vanished just a moment before
doing it???
- DEMITRI MAXIMOV:
In the ending,Demitri is holding a fallen Morrigan. He says that it's over, and that he will
make Morrigan his. But Morrigan turns herself into stone. Demitri laughs and says that
Morrigan is indeed from the Aensland clan.He guesses that Morrigan turned herself into stone
to resist his power.He tells her that resistance is futile,and that he will eventually reach
into her closed mind. He says they'll wait forever until then.
- MORRIGAN AENSLAND :
In the ending, Lilith tells Morrigan that all she wanted was a body to live in. Morrigan is
sympathetic, so she tells Lilith to just come inside her. Lilith does so, and Morrigan says
to herself that the world looks so different, and wonders if it is because of Lilith.
About this ending I want to remeber you a thing (just in case you don't remember... ^_^;;;):
Lilith is in reality a body where the true soul of Morrigan lives, a soul who was sealed
centuries ago by a certain Berial inside of Lilith's body.
So we can say that the Morrigan that we see in her endind should be the "real" Morrigan.
- ANAKARIS :
In the ending, Anakaris says that the earth is being polluted by too many pathetic species
who will eventually destroy themselves. He says he cannot allow that to happen to his
country. In a town thousands of years later, a boy sees a strange light and wonders what it
is. Two strange things appears and pulls him into the light. The boy is teleported into
Anakaris's country. The boy wonders where he is, and the citizens tell him to rejoice,
because he has been seemed worthy to live in the country ruled by Anakaris, who will be his
savior.
- VICTOR VON GERDENHEIM :
In the ending, Victor wonders why the lightning can't make Emily come back to life. He then
realizes that the lightning is not powerful enough,and that he can generate more electricity
than lightning can. He says that if he can sacrifice himself for Emily, he'll do it, since
he'll be happy knowing that she's alive. Victor proceeds to generate the electricity.
Emily wakes up, and call's Victor's name. But Victor is silent (he used up all his energy to
save her, so he's dead). At least he appears to be happy.
- LORD RAPTER (ZABEL ZAROCK) :
In the ending,Lord Rapter says that Jedah's power has been unleashed and is awesome. He then
says that he is going to take all of it. Le Malta (Lord Rapter's pet) flees. Lord Rapter
proceeds to take all of the power, but he can't handle it and blows up. Far away, on the
ground next to Le Malta, who is cowering, Lord Rapter's head curses and says that he got
greedy again.
- HSIEN-KO (LEI-LEI) :
In the ending, Hsien-Ko and Lin Lin find themselves somewhere strange. A woman appears and
shows them a path to get out.The sisters wonder who the woman is. But then they arrive home.
Their real mother must be happy now. (If you didn't understand it their real mother is the
woman who helped them)
- JOHN TALBAIN (GALLON) :
In the ending, John Talbain says that he has finally found the person with the answers to
what is happening to him, but says that if he gets the answers, he can't return home. He
wonders if he should return, or stay. Meanwhile, two children are on opposite sides of a
campfire. One wonders if John Talbain will be back, and the other says that John Talbain
promised he'd be back. He says that John Talbain never breaks a promise.
This endings also works for Dark John Talbain.
- FELICIA :
In the ending, Felicia opens an orphanage. The children, who call her Sister, tell her that
they have finished their studies, and would like her to sing a song. Felicia sings "Happy,
Happy, Joy, Joy," which the children say is their favorite song. -_- very SAD ending, if you
know what I mean...
- RIKUO (AULBATH) :
In the ending, Rikuo hears a voice. He sees his son, Ricky, and asks if heis OK. Ricky
introduces Rikuo to a girl named Micky. Ricky says that he and Micky are best friends. Micky
then points out that they are arriving at her home. Her home's name is Sargasso, which up
until now has been isolated by a mysterious power.It turn's out to be Jedah's power, because
since Jedah has been defeated, the power is removed, and the two sister species can live
together.
- SASQUATCH :
In the ending, Sasquatch says that he can't forgive those who try to hurt his people. He
breaks some bars and ends up in a room full of his people. They say that Sasquatch is just
in time, and that Jedah invited them there. They also say that Jedah is such a nice guy and
has been really kind. Then they laugh and Sasquatch feels SOOOOO embarassed. See this ending
if you wanna make a laugh or 2!!! ^_-
- BISHAMON :
In the ending, Bishamon's evil armor,which is controlling him, says that it will soon devour
all of the world's souls.Bishamon says that he can't allow that to happen. He manages to get
free will long enough to expel the armor from his body. He has finally regained peace...
Or has he?
- DONOVAN BAINE :
With Jedah's defeat the Devil's Dimension inside of Anita's mind vanishes, and so does her
nightmares. Donovan tells Anita to wake up, then Donovan's sentient sword touches Anita and
she wakes up. Then Donovan wonders if their destiny is a great burden also for Anita.
After this he swear to Anita that he will be right by her side to protect her in the name of
Human Blood until all of the Darkstalkers are defeated.
Then he tells Anita that after this Anita will be free to choose her own path in life.
- PYRON :
We see a victorious Pyron who says that the "Devil's World" is not as bad as he thought, and
that if it were not to be destroyed he would have enjoyed in making it his.
Then he tells that there is no more things to do there for him and that next he's heading
for the Andromeda galaxy.
- HUITZIL (PHOBOS) :
We see in first plan a defeated Jedah and a brocken Huitzil after him. Before he remains out
of energy he transmit the order "Protect the boy" to others Huitzil-type robots.
Then we see a sort of "Earth-Ivasion" from thousands of theese robots.
- OBORO BISHAMON :
Bishamon tells that he can finally get rid of the Hannya armor. He tells himself that until
his life lasts he this error would never be repeated.
Then we see the background of the "Fetus Of God"background and we are get to know that until
darkness will exhist in the human heartsthe "Devil's Dimension" will always appear and that
ther will always be a "Hannya" even in a more dreadful form.
- ANITA :
In the ending, Oboro Bishamon is standing next to a table. The table has a bunch of objects
that oddly have a trace of the different combatants in them(to be more precise it's the part
of the opponent that Oboro takes if you finish a fight with a "Soul Torment"). The table is
scrolled over,and standing next to it on the other side is Anita. Anita points at the table,
which is washed away by a tidal wave.Once the table is washed away,the tidal wave covers the
bottom half of the screen. The tidal wave has in it the different combatants in their ball
form, until Anita is shown riding the wave on an innertube. Then the tidal wave ends, and
Anita runs from the left side of the screen to the right, with several doll heads following
her.
- SHADOW and MARIONETTE :
The ending is just another version of the ending credits, with the faces of the different
combatants appearing in the background.
Their endings are the same in all Game Modes.
- VAMPIRE SAVIOR 2 :
This is a really cool ending! The ceremony of "Relief" conducted by the Savior, Jedah, ended
in a failure and so as the Savior vanishes the same does the Devil's Dimension.
But the sacre entity he created (the Fetus Of God) still remains, waiting for the souls it
needs... For Jedah,the lord of Hades,the Savior of the Demon world, is only a matter of time
before he comes to life again (as being a god he's immortal)and at that moment he will bring
all of the souls of this dimensional plan to their source,melting all the souls in one being
the Fetus Of God infact. The mission of the "Savior" is to create an utopic perfect demonic
world in this dimension, and we will return over and over until his mission is accomplished.
- VAMPIRE SAVIOR 2 (JEDAH) :
Jedah is standing victoriously after his battle. Is this his true soul or just an illusion?
However the Devil's Dimension is now completed, his next step is to put to life the sacred
entity he created (the Fetus Of God).
From the Devil's Dimension the message of the savior reaches all of the beings of the demon
world: "All the sould unite with my being, as this is your only chance of relief".
- VAMPIRE HUNTER 2 :
Pyron feels his body being weakned little by little, as his life has being sucked away.
Anyway that is no new from him,now that he think about it he was only mental food for "HIM",
as he also has been transported into the Devil's Dimension.
"HE" is the master of the "Dark Intent" (O_o;) who will soon unsleash all of his power. Fear
his voice coming from the deeps of darkness!!!
Now a little note about this ending, the "HE" of this ending is obviously Jedah (or perhaps
the Fetus of God, but at the end they're both the same being), but there's a thing that made
me think about a citation from capcom.
Could the "HE" be AKUMA??? Just think about it, HE ONLY IS THE MASTER OF THE "DARK INTENT"!
The same powers awakened in himself when he used the SHUN GOKU SATSU
to kill his master!!!
Yeah!!! It could really be! If you remember in the arcade version of VAMPIRE SAVIOR there
was a screen with AKUMA and a mysterious "DIRTY BERET"!!!
Let the people get their own conclusions... ^_-
- VAMPIRE HUNTER 2 (PYRON) :
Pyron says: "Ah Ah Ah! I'm the true ruler of this dimension and universe!". And so Pyron
takes over the world, but doesn't realize that Jedah is slowly taking control of him. When
Jedah will fully awakens, only at that time we will be able to tell who the real ruler is.

7) ADVANCED TECHNIQUES
------------------------
==> FIREBALLS
Since the first episode DARKSTALKERS has a particular system when occurs the event "fireball
vs. fireball".
In other games, such as Street Fighter, when 2 fireballs meets they eliminate each other(made
exception for "super fireball vs. fireball"), here in DARKSTALKERS many different events may
instead occur; the following chart explains all of the possibilities:
- The fireball done with the powerful button wins.
For example if you do a fireball with hp and your enemy with lp your fireball will "pass"
over the enemy's fireball.
Obvioulsly Medium attacks (mp and mk)beats Low attacks (lp and hp),and High attacks (hp and
hk) beats Medium and Low ones.
- If both of the fireballs are done with the same button then the fireball done LATER will
pass over the one done sooner.
- If both of the fireballs are done with the same button AND at the same moment than the
fireballs will eliminate each other, just like in "classic" games.
- I think I don't have to say it, but ES fireballs pass over normal Fireballs.
