Characters we want to see in Darkstalkers 4

So far the game is only a bullet-point on Ono’s wishlist but this is the internet, and as we all know, on the internet conjecture, rumour and vagueries only ever mean that something is unassailable fact and will happen. So by internet logic, Ono has already been working on Darkstalkers 4 for at least two years and Capcom will be releasing it next month. That in mind, we’ve been thinking about the new character-types we want to play when the inevitable review code comes in next week. And so far, we’ve come up with these three:

Long-time GR+ writer Dave has been gaming with immense dedication ever since he failed dismally at some '80s arcade racer on a childhood day at the seaside (due to being too small to reach the controls without help). These days he's an enigmatic blend of beard-stroking narrative discussion and hard-hitting Psycho Crushers.
