Making Adult Anita from scratch! Need suggestions!

So I'm commissioning Chatman to make Adult Anita from the Darkstalkers series. I've got to figure out exactly how she'll play. Any official info on Anita's abilities would be very useful. I'm going to re watch the OVA and read the Udon comics again for ideas. I remember she has healing powers in the ova, shielding in Udon, and she projects herself and Donovan into the future for DS3 so she's got some kind of time travel and or psychic abilities (not sure if they were their real bodies, IIRC they were just projections). Her psychic abilities are pretty strong giving her telekinesis.

I'm thinking however that her theme will be of "the witch". Since she holds a "spell?" book and has a hat it makes me think she would have been the witch for Vampire Saviour had they finished her.

Also, has anything been leaked about her potential moveset from Capcom?

Feel free to come up with suggestions to help out. Thanks for your time!

she seemed more like a creepy child ( think carrie) than a witch.

with that in mind, her powers should rotate around what you already know she can do, the poltergeist type assombration.

She can also inherit donovan Gods, being able to summon then herself.


She should be able to suck them up into a snow globe and eeriely shake it before releasing them again. She could have a super where she makes them appear in the middle of a corn field! Might help to binge on twilight show episodes.

Going to post what you said in the PM when I told you about this thread while you were apparently already replying here...

Quote
also you could probably get a lot from Akira.

Shes a high level telekinetic, you could probably get her that spear move from high priestress in jojo, but with gate spears instead.

going over her art, she is shown balancing on top of stuff, if this was a full game i would say that she should have the head sit like felicia had.
Lacking that, she should always land graciously with one foot, almost like if she does it effortlessly.

Her face could emote as if she had a evil side, with crying blood and other stuff like that,  She could also probably have moves where she extends her shadow ( and her energy ) through the floor to trap opponents.

play a lot of jojo, she looks a lot like a jojo character.

Definitely doing the land on toes thing! Probably have a taunt with it too.

I don't want her to use Donovan's gods. The only thing I wanted that tied her to Donovan's specials was an EX that projected past Donovan, her and maybe his Gods into an attack.

My biggest gripe about her not being a witch is I don't know what simple title she would have. What are those creepy children called? Story wise I was thinking she focused her powers into the occult to try and turn Donovan back to normal.

I'll make a poll and see what everyone thinks though. I'm not too leaning one way or the other yet. The most I'd thought for the book is for it to float and do some attacks kinda like the books in Castlevania SOTN where they open and weapons pop out. Though being a creepy child wouldn't exclude that with her abilities I suppose.

Yeah, I'd give her object based attacks, pretty much. Have her move her body in a very minimal way (like, do a hand gesture) and have the actual attack be objects (like a book, or a teddy bear, or even more and more progressively bizarre and creepy objects) that materialize from nowhere and hit the opponent...

There was a character that did something similar to what I'm referring to... I can't think of who it was... maybe Eddie from Guilty Gear? (except with his shadow instead of random objects)

That make any sense?

No, that's waaaaaaaaaaaaay too complicated and time-intensive for anything in a fighting game, even for a winpose! :noo:

Hey if Pioupiou could transport the enemy to another planet and turn them into a skeleton after Piccolo asks Porunga for victory (back in 2005 mind you), transporting to a cornfield would be easy.

Darkstalkers never had a witch, it's in dire need of one though.

I meant to vote for creepy child.
But now I am convinced I that I really want to see how a Stripper Anita would turn out. Perhaps as a Midnight Bliss.

Well, that's why I always felt that Tessa from Red Earth was the perfect candidate.

But getting back to Anita, just check out some of the odd gameplay she has as a secret character in Marvel Super Heroes;

that should give you some ideas...
Slow and steady wins the race, but there is a darkness... growing inside of me...

And if you provoke it...

I will slay you all.

I was just about to bring up MVC since she was there. Could be something you can bring over since it's...I guess something to use? I dunno...a witch is always a good option IMO, especially since Darkstalkers is lacking that, and it's a classic character for that type of game too! But I do like the whole poltergeist thing that was brought up. Hmmmm....

Stripper Anita as a Midnight Bliss....that terrifies me thinking about that. Why would you think of that for that!? D: There must be something better than that for that, but I digress...that's getting way WAY too ahead of the game! @_@;

Ah yes, Anita in Marvel Super Heroes, that brings back memories. If I recall though, there wasn't much to her. Minimal animation, and everything is just doll heads and Donovans sword... Oh, I almost forgot! Akuma appearing when you do a dragon punch. Come to think of it, she was like a Mugen character  :wacky: .
An anthropomorphic existential nightmare.

Anita in msh had donovan god moves, but they were replaced with other chars


Ugh, stripper Anita? UGH.


Her title used to be savior of humans, but God child or eerie child would probably be a better fit.

you cant make a move to save your life >:C and it would be very simple to play out, rare akuma threw opponents to space, Anita could very simply just have flashes of other places show up while the opponent is on their knees.  I will flesh this out later but I already have a good idea how it would work out and the visual effect would press on her godlike powers, having reality shift to other places.


Other moves she could have would include during throws, hold out her doll and then slam it hard to the ground, the opponent following the exact motion.

The eerie girl is an old horror stereotype, that even the ring furthered some into it, jnp we should talk some over msn or something, to brain storm some specifics.

She really should have a intro mocking mary poppins, floating down with a umbrella.

I read somewhere she was based on Wednesday from the Adams Family, maybe you could do something with that?

She's like Ella in some ways to? Be creative with it to, don't limit it to just to those typical suggestions.

- jedah bloodbath super
- cracker jack's homerun super which launches the opponent into outer space
- baiken and bridget's instant kills
- hazama's 90's cgi-fest of an astral finish
- tenjinbashi (groove on fight) setting the opponent as a firework and seeing them explode from far away

i don't really see how it's too farfetched

The snow globe thing, she could throw the snowglobe across the ground, if it connects, the opponent vanishes.

We then see them getting up in a snowing place, with a snowman, her eyes light up huge in the sky.
Cuts to outside, she is holding the snowglobe in her hand and she shake the hell of it before throwing it to a wall ( at that point it breaks and the opponent falls out of it )

You could send out objects and then interact differently with them, from laying traps to literally being able to jump on them and standing on them with one foot.

All of this paint her more as eerie than a witch, when people think of witch they think black cats spells and witch hats, more like tabassa.

Fixed.

Joking aside that would be a great K.O. variant (although "Rosebud" could get replaced with something like "Die")

creepy quotes from movies would be better than things like "die".

darkstalkers has always been about popular culture mashups

( so rosebud actually fits! )
