He's also a very clean mummy - look at those bandages, there's not a speck of dirt on them, pretty impressive for someone who spent thousands of years mouldering in a sarcophagus. Cons: difficult to buy hats, bats keep trying to mate with the back of your head.Īn ancient pharaoh summoned from the afterlife, Anakaris is a very large mummy. Pros: looks appropriately spooky, allows for delicate adjustments when she's flying.

Plus, she's got bat wings growing out of her head. She at least has some personality, which is more than you can say for Ryu, and with a familiar, easy-to-use moveset she's a good choice for beginners. Okay, so maybe that's a bit harsh on Morrigan. Morrigan's main succubus power seems to be the ability to make any sentence into a sexual innuendo, unless that's just what happens when you dress like you get all your clothes from the bins behind Ann Summers once their Halloween sale is over.

Or maybe you didn't know that: I've always had a hard time judging the popularity of the Darkstalkers series. As most of you probably know, Vampire Savior is a one-on-one fighting game in the Street Fighter II mode, which is hardly surprising considering it was developed by Capcom.
