In 1985 Dr. Strange makes a rap album.
It's only really tangentially related to fightin games (and it's probably been posted) but I wound up stumbling across some guy on Youtube who's done a ton of character themes for various Capcom/Marvel/DC characters in the style of the old CPS2 fighters. It's pretty great because he absolutely nails that old QSound style of music.

I'd be scared that Ono would design it, and they'd add a mechanic called Hellraiser that would allow you to attempt a 0-frame one hit kill when you had less than half life. Then they'd add "souls" that you could buy as DLC that would give your characters extra frame advantage. Then they'd have a cycle of characters that would be rotated out every two weeks, and you could only play as those characters until you accumulated 500 hours of playtime, at which point you could buy one character permanently. Or spent ten bucks for them, either works.

Oh yeah, and it would have HD Remix graphics. And for no reason in particular Felicia would get MvC3 Berserker Slash and AE Yun's EX lunge. At least James Chen would like it.

Also on the presentation front, instead of the cool, pulsing, horror tinged soundtrack the series had we'd just get lots of lovely Fukusawa techno.

I think Darkstalkers would suit Arc System Works sprites more than anything else.

Oh my loving god no. Big HD sprites sure but Darkstalkers' entire visual appeal with the wacky animation would be lost in lovely, stiff, low frame count animation.

Say, what happened to the Bloody Roar games? People used to play them, but they weren't very well known in the west. Now that I look back at them, the games got shittier as they progressed.

BR4 was, by all accounts, such a massive piece of poo poo that it basically killed off the series. Funny enough, it was developed by Eighting. They were actually planning on making a new game but then Hudson's U.S. branch closed down and that ended that.

I can find almost nothing rewarding about the series as a whole other than the fact that it helps get more new players in to fighting games.

Soul Edge had really cool music at least.
