As you can see VH2's intro is a parody of
Vampire Savior's alt intro where one of the
Aenslands is at someone's mercy.
0:00:36.000,0:00:40.000
Of course instead of Lilith being held hostage by
Baby Bonnie Hood its Morrigan held hostage by
Donovan Baine.
0:00:50.066,0:00:52.000
There's an unused "Night Warriors 2" title screen
in the game's coding as well so it might have
been considered for an international release.
0:00:54.033,0:00:56.033
When you insert a coin, you get Pyron laughing at
you. Vampire Savior 2 did the same thing but
with Jedah chuckling at you instead.
0:01:01.033,0:01:05.033
Oops. That's not supposed to happen. You're not
meant to be able to fight Vampire Savior
characters in vampire Hunter 2's arcade.
0:01:08.000,0:01:12.000
Lilith is the only VS character who's sprites are
still in the data. The same can't be said for
Bulleta/B.B.Hood.
0:01:13.066,0:01:17.066
All the VS music was taken out too, hence the
silence. B.B.Hood is also mute. So we're playing
Semi-Invisible Darkstalkers.
0:01:21.066,0:01:25.066
On the other hand as the first opponent, Hood's
AI is weak (I had this set on the default Normal
difficulty in the dip switches.)
0:01:27.000,0:01:31.000
Hood's sound effects are still there. But
otherwise its a fight with an invisisble AND
mostly silent enemy.
0:01:57.000,0:02:01.000
I can't read Japanese all too well so I can't tell if
those are Lilith's own winquotes or someone
else's.
0:02:07.066,0:02:11.066
And now a return to normalcy as we fight against
Aulbath/Rikuo. Yes yes, he's nice looking for a
fish, heard it all before.
0:02:13.066,0:02:15.000
I remember Jesuszilla telling me a long time ago
that "Aulbath" is an engrish mistranslation of
"Albus."
0:02:16.033,0:02:17.033
"Albus" is a species name for a variety of sea
creatures like sea urchins, for example. Rikuo
turns into a sea urchin, so it makes sense.
0:02:18.000,0:02:21.033
More sense than the wolf's name spelt as Gallon
but pronounced Garou (As in Fatal Fury's JP
name) which is why I always call him Jon Talbain
0:02:21.066,0:02:24.000
That's probably Engrish too. They might have
been going for "Garon." Which is one letter away
from "Gauron", the baddie from Full Metal Panic.
0:02:24.000,0:02:28.000
The katakana for Aulbath, オルバス (Orubasu)
reads and sounds similar to "Albus" as well so it
could work. Or just call him Rikuo and be done.
0:02:53.033,0:02:57.033
Most of Lilith's moves like Luminous Illusion still
have death-type effects like you just saw.
0:03:16.033,0:03:20.033
I find it funny they keep balancing Victor between
having comical animations and mostly sad
endings. His Japanese NW ending for one.
0:06:24.066,0:06:28.066
Here's everyone's favourite werewolf (And mine)
Jon Talbain. As before I mentioned his JP
name's spell "Gallon" pronounced "Garou"
0:06:28.033,0:06:32.033
"Garou" meaning "Hungry Wolf" (As before, like
Fatal Fury's JP name "Garou Densetsu")
0:06:35.033,0:06:39.033
Talbain actually gave me a little trouble here. Also
I'd love for someone to start calling him "Fatal
Fury" for a joke.
0:07:51.000,0:07:55.000
I was lucky to be able to get Showtime off. And I
coudl have sworn it played random music tracks
in this. Not that I'm bothered since I beat Talbain.
0:07:56.000,0:07:58.033
I still think Lilith's outfits here are better than her
Cross Edge outfits.
0:08:08.066,0:08:12.066
Our penultimate opponent is Lord Raptor/Zabel
Zarock, star of the phenomenal "Wide World Of
Raptor" music video.
0:08:14.033,0:08:18.033
"Zabel Zarock" is a likely alliterative homage to
Ozzy Osbourne, prince of darkness.
0:08:18.000,0:08:22.000
Either the joke flew over Capcom USA's heads
and they thought it was a silly name or it was
changed for reasons similar to M.Bison/Balrog.
0:08:23.066,0:08:27.066
"Lord Raptor" is still a pretty metal-sounding
name though. I use it more often than not.
0:08:27.033,0:08:31.033
Furthermore like me Raptor's British and...sorta
like me, he has a serious *** for Lei-
Lei/Hsien-ko.
0:08:36.066,0:08:40.066
Might be me using Lilith in this game but the AI
has slight problems dealing with her Arrow throw
special.
0:08:43.066,0:08:44.000
The only reason people play as Lilith?
0:09:35.066,0:09:39.066
Normally I think you only fight Pyron as the final
boss in VH2. Lilith still ends up fighting Morrigan
though. I'm guessing left over data from Savior 1.
0:10:27.000,0:10:30.000
Quick off topic: I don't mind Stephanie Sheh as
Lilith in Cross Edge but she shoulda tried to
imitate a Scottish accent.
0:10:31.000,0:10:35.000
Morrigan's voice actress in MvC3, Siobhan Flynn,
tries a Scottish accent and she's Welsh. Not to
mention her US cartoon accent too.
0:10:35.066,0:10:39.066
IIRC Lilith was born from some of Morrigan's
power so I think she could have an accent
unless Jedah fiddled with her voice.
0:11:11.000,0:11:15.000
Funny fact: Did you know Morrigan used the LPx,,
LP, F, LK, HK button combo for her Darkness
Illusion before Capcom gave it to Akuma for his
0:11:15.000,0:11:19.000
Shun Goku Satsu super which finally became
usable in Street Fighter Alpha?
0:11:28.033,0:11:31.066
Don't mind this weirdness too much, I think its
meant to segue into Lilith's normal Vampire
Savior ending.
0:11:31.033,0:11:35.033
Vampire Hunter 2 only has 2 endings: A generic
ending when you beat Pyron and one where you
beat the game AS Pyron.
0:11:36.000,0:11:40.000
Once again my Japanese skills are limited so I
can't tell which ending this is since I didn't fight
Pyron.
0:11:40.033,0:11:44.033
So it looks a bit strange when I beat Morrigan,
watch Lilith fly backward and suddenly I get
Pyron grinning at me.
0:11:58.066,0:11:59.000
After Pyron's impression of Bison's grin from
Alpha 3 you get a random pic of some DS chars.
0:11:59.000,0:12:02.033
I'm not sure if its random or depends on certain
things but here I got Lei-Lei stacking up some of
her stuff with Anita balancing on top of them.
0:12:02.033,0:12:06.033
One of the times I did a playthrough of this (as
Liltih mostly) I got that delightful pic of naked
Morrigan and Lilith in a rather incesty hug.
0:12:31.033,0:12:35.033
Fun fact about Lei-Lei/Hsien-ko: I learned form
Felineki that Lei-Lei's a pun on "yuurei" the
Japanese word for ghost.
0:12:35.033,0:12:39.033
According to this developer interview he linked:
http://www.geocities.jp/bgrtype/gsl/words/vampir
ehunter/vh.html
0:12:39.033,0:12:43.033
Considering she's Chinese hopping zombie
though it seems strange but Lei-Lei's a nice
name.
0:12:43.033,0:12:47.033
I don't know what a "Hsien-ko" is but that's a nice
name too.
0:12:48.066,0:12:52.066
"Bulleta" is obvious enough as is "Baby Bonnie
Hood" which fits slightly more due to her
character design.
0:12:55.000,0:12:59.000
Oh yeah and "Rikuo" is an homage to Ricou
Browning, the man who played the original
Creature From The Black Lagoon
0:12:59.000,0:13:03.000
Not sure if "Jon Talbain"'s a homage to anything
but he's still cool. And he's not Jacob and isn't
interesting in imprinting on babies so he's cool.
0:13:04.000,0:13:08.000
Forgot about Huitzil/Phobos. "Phobos" is obvious
enough as its the Greek word for "terror"...even
though the robot is Aztec in origin and look.
0:13:08.000,0:13:12.000
"Huitzil" on the other hand, is the name of an
Aztec mythical hero who helped his people find a
new home and defend it, so it fits better.
0:13:16.000,0:13:20.000
"Q Who" indeed.
0:13:38.033,0:13:42.033
Anyone wanna make the requisite Pokemon
joke? I'm too uptight for that.
0:14:01.033,0:14:05.033
Don't know why Isshin Chiba's still credited in
VH2 as he voices Jedah, who's voice at least
isn't IN VH2. Another leftover maybe?
0:14:07.066,0:14:11.066
And apparently, Jurota Kosugi voices Huitzil. If
you can call mechanical beeps as having voices,
sure.
0:14:12.000,0:14:16.000
Nobuyuki Hiyama is awesome though when he's
either screaming his head off or when he's
Demitri or Pyron. Why isn't he in Blazblue yet?
0:14:37.033,0:14:41.033
I hope its me they're thanking, like most other
Capcom games. I mean I did one credit this on
default difficulty at least.
0:14:41.000,0:14:45.000
Oh yeah and Oboro Bishamon's properly
playable in this. Hold start when choosing
Bishamon.
0:15:00.066,0:15:05.033
Anyhow, thanks for watching, like, subscribe, kick
my teeth in for any errors I made, but thanks all
the same for watching.
