Vampire Savior 2 & Vampire Hunter 2

Vampire Savior 2: The Lord of Vampire
Also known as: Vampire Hunter 2: Darkstalkers' Revenge Developer: Capcom Publisher: Capcom Platform: Arcade (CPSII) Released in JP: September 1997 This game has unused playable characters. This game has unused graphics. This game has unused sounds.

Vampire Savior 2 and Vampire Hunter 2 are updated versions of Vampire Savior, making some adjustments to the game and restoring the three characters that were previously dropped. However, it exceeded the CPS2 system's storage capacity, resulting in the game being split into two. They're virtually identical, save for differences in characters and presentation (music, win quotes and intro). Also, it introduced balance changes that did not go over well with competitive players.

Both games are part of the Capcom Fighting Collection, making their debut outside of Japan. The original Japanese ROMs are used, despite English text existing for the content from these games that is in the PS1 version of Darkstalkers 3.

To do: There exists an issue where a match between Shadow (while possessing Anakaris) and Felicia would not start correctly.

Unused Graphics

Alternate Character Select Icons

Contained in the graphics data are what appear to be icons and cursors for an alternate character select screen. These were later used in the Chaos Tower mode of Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower.

Alternate Logo

Setting RAM address FF8089 to 01 and inserting a coin in Vampire Hunter 2 will display a Night Warriors 2 logo, presumably intended for an unrealized international release.

Unused Huitzil Normal Attack Frames

Huitzil has one frame each in his standing medium punch and jumping light punch animations that go unused.

Huitzil Alternate Genocide Vulcan Recovery

Huitzil has 3 unused frames of animation that form a recovery motion from his Genocide Vulcan special. These go unused, and the game simply plays the move's startup frames in reverse as a recovery motion instead.

Unused Sounds

Vampire Hunter 2 contains a few unique unused voice clips:

Demitri Joke Takes

Demitri: "Genmai rice! (Brown rice!)"

Demitri: "San bai gaeshi! (Triple payback!)"

Two voice clips of Demitri's voice actor Nobuyuki Hiyama performing famous Japanese mishearings of his "Get my rage!" voice clip.

Donovan Voice Clips

Donovan: "Tsuranuke! (Run through!)"

Donovan: "Moetsukero! (Burn!)"

Donovan: "Itetsuke! (Freeze!)"

Three unused voice clips for Donovan, presumably intended for Kill Shred, Efreet Sword, and Blizzard Sword respectively. They are stored at a higher bitrate than most other voice clips, implying they are a left over from quite early in development.

Intro Dialogue

The following French language dialogue is actually used as part of the intro sequence, but at such a low volume that it is very hard to make out over the music.
"L'ennemi. (The enemy.)"

"D'où venais-tu? (Where did you come from?)"

"Notre peuple est ennemi du tien. (Our people is enemy of yours.)"

Hunter 2 Lilith

The code for all 18 characters exists within both games, and the supposedly missing characters of each game are more or less playable, albeit with no graphics or voice clips. However, Lilith's graphics are intact in Vampire Hunter 2, making her perfectly playable aside from having no voice. Her voice clips actually do exist in the raw PCM data, but they have no instruments defined and are thus inaccessible.
