Y'know, the Maria might be sucky right now, but I'm sure she'll grow on many of us - I'm already starting to dislike her a little less than I did yesterday. That and she has a cool staff. Her in-game look isn't that bad anyway, she seems spunky.

By the way, I just noticed that Simon has this very strange tattoo that's crawling from the right side of his lower stomach, and going right into his crotch.... X_x' 
Maria's face is also based on the exact same one from the Dracula X Chronicles 3D design.
Also, Dracula has that awesome heart that's in the middle of his armor plate.


Huh.....

Thanks for posting those scans Marto! 

I'm looking forward to this game, though I doubt I'll be able to play it as I don't see a Wii in my future, but you never know. I'm hoping we get an updated character list sometime soon though. I'm eager to see who made it into the game.

Y'know....oddly enough I'm getting the looming suspicion that this game's only going to feature a handful of characters, which would be really bad! I'm hoping the roster will be close to thirty, but.... 

Simon seems to be using some strange kind of two swords in one of the screen-shots btw. I found that kind of interesting.

i too am really looking forward to this like i said i just want this game to be fun and i'll be happy let IGA be creative for once XD

hell i wasnt turned away when i first saw the costumes like everyone else was i am still waiting for the trailer

lol maria has the owl in her staff see people the new outfits can look good if someone diddnt half/ass their scans just to get online cred by being the first to show it off ><

[SemiAnonymous]

rip my thread 
So, I gotta say, I wonder how maria's gonna play. I mean, animal cruelty up the arse going here,  beating people with an owl

[beingthehero]

Once again, Marto pulls through for us.

Finally, I'm glad to see them finally put the "oh lawd, they gunna ruin the timeline!" statements to rest. Still, I hope their original outfits are availble.

What the hell is with Maria's staff

[thernz]

She trapped her owl in it. O_o

[watsahappawitchu]

It looks like Maria doesn't give a rat's ass about that owl so she'll be hitting people with it while its trapped in her staff. Animal cruelty Maria.

[marto]

The owl staff will be used to swipe and flap at the opponent - that puts maria in the "poker" kind of character (Fighting game jargon meaning that a character primerely fights by doing small-percentage damage with fast hits, while trying to string them for better succession). But then...they also said that she is very aerial oriented, and floats, so that makes me think of something very slow....perhaps just an odd character to get used to?

Simon seems like the run of the mill guy with some brawn, some brain, some speed, some of everything, while...

...Dracula seems like he'll be either A) Very weak, but extremely fast in his capability to deliver hits (Think of Duo Lon from King of Fighters 2003 - best character in the game due to his ability to poke you to death), or B) Veeery slow, very powerful, with a large body that doesn't exactly give way for much evasion.

Alucard seems like he'll be rather dexterity oriented, that or just simple one fast hit with good damage, without giving any possibility for combos, therefore causing for a very jab-pullback, jab-pullback type of game play. Or perhaps while his natural fighting capabilities are limited, I could easily see him being the one to best depend on his special moves, and sub-weapons, with a very vast ability to rack up the points for his super move.


Shanoa I'm sure will be the best combo character. Perhaps a variation of combos! She could be really fun.

[Punishment]

to be honest i forgot to mention on my other post but the way alucard looks thats how i would imagine him to look in a updated look to Dracula's Curse.

[Batty]

Love Maria's boots : )

Although I bought a DS just for Dawn of Ruin,  I probably won't buy a Wii just for this game. Too different than what I'm used to in Castlevania, I guess.

Aaw, but look at her! She's so cute! I forgive her.
