I dunno. I canā€™t see a vampire character in KI. When I think ā€˜vampireā€™ and ā€˜fighting gamesā€™ I think of Slayer from GG or Nitara from MK or Demitri Maximoff from Darkstalkers. None of these representations would be a good fit for KI.

The key components of a vampire are already taken by existing characters as well; Sadira has the seduction thing (in looks at least, her personality is still somewhat of a mystery), Aganos and Kan-Ra have the been alive for centuries thing, Kan-Ra has the evil lord thing, Sabrewulf has the feral thing, Omen has the wings, Gargos will have the wings and possibly flight.

If IG does decide to tackle a vampire I hope they either give it a nice twist which theyā€™ve done with a few characters (Aria, Aganos) or make it some sort of dhampir.

Iā€™d love a castlevania type/ retro eloquent being who has basic punches and kicks like a human in a suit but can morph into strange magical forms think influence of blazblue or guilty gear

Regal Castlevania style vampire is better than all else.

Gotta make sure we donā€™t step too closely on Wulfā€™s theme. The vampire-lyconthrope themes are usually similar in tones regardless, I knowā€¦ But donā€™t forget:

I was wonder about Vampire. Why Vampire not in KI2 because his glitch or unfinished?

@Kevbayliss I have question about Vampire KI2. Why Vampire not in KI2 because his glitch or unfinished?

@BruceDeadpool I think we were saving him for a KI3, but Rare didn't make a 3rd game. šŸ˜Š

Well, itā€™s confirmed that the concept was maleā€¦
The question now is, will they run with the original concept, or branch out in a different direction?

44

I hope they go with a different design on the main and use the old concept as the retro.

Sounds like a good idea. I like it.

46

Great idea! But we still donā€™t see what look like Vampire original concept. Kevin Bayliss donā€™t have Vampire concept, another Dev have him concept. Iā€™ll show tweeting you soon.

@conkerhimself Hey! I want to know when you reveal vampire and spy girl artwork from KI2?

ā€” SkullGore (@BruceDeadpool) August 31, 2015

@BruceDeadpool erm.. that's all gone. gone forever i imagine.

That's mean, we won't see Vampire artwork KI2?

Well thatā€™s depressing, though Iā€™m sure SOMEONE has it. Collecting dust in some folder somewhereā€¦

Even so, Iā€™m sure Kev could recreate the general theme of the costume for the retro.
