Darkstalkers Chibis

Darkstalkers, known as Vampire (ヴァンパイア Vanpaia) in Japan, is a series of 2D Gothic horror-themed fighting games produced by Capcom during the mid-1990's using Capcom's CPS II arcade hardware. There have been three main entries in the series with two "updated" titles and several compilations which include the current Darkstalkers Resurrection. The characters have made many cross over appearances and the series itself into other forms of media.

The cast of Darkstalkers is based off well known fictional characters and monsters ranging from vampires to werewolves, which are referenced as Darkstalkers (ダークストーカーズ) in the series. The series introduced many concepts used in later fighting games by Capcom, including Street Fighter's jump from the CPS I to CPS II, Street Fighter Alpha (known as Street Fighter Zero in Japan).
