Vampire Chronicle for Matching Service (ヴァンパイアクロニクルフォーマッチングサービス) is a Sega Dreamcast fighting game in the Vampire franchise (Darkstalkers in the West) that combines the playstyles and mechanics from all of the previous entries. It takes advantage of Capcom's Matching Service online system.

Gameplay

Character select

Gameplay

The game is a fighting game. It contains all of the characters from the other games in the series. Players can select between different modes replicating the mechanics from any of the prior games (Vampire, Vampire Hunter, and Vampire Savior), and each character has selectable types that replicate his or her moves from each entry (including new types for characters who were not in every game).

Characters move with and and dash with and . They jump upward with and jump behind and ahead with and . They crouch with . Punches are done with (light), (medium), and (hard) and kicks are done with (light), (medium), and (hard). Light attacks are faster and hard attacks deal more damage. Chain combos can be performed by linking attacks from lightest to hardest and from punches to kicks, canceling the recovery of a normal move by starting another. Special moves for each character are done by pairing specific directional combinations with an attack button. Projectile attacks move slowly through each other, with the stronger projectile dissipating the other (depending on the strength of the attack button used and which was launched first) rather than canceling each other out as in most fighting games (unless they were launched at the same time with the same strength).

Throws and grabs are done by holding or when next to an opponent and pressing a medium or hard punch or kick button. Different characters have different throws available to them, and most characters can throw in midair. Characters can reduce the damage taken from a throw (except command throws) by pressing the medium or hard punch button after being thrown. Knocked down characters can recover and slide away by holding or and pressing any attack button.

Guarding is done by holding the D-Pad away from the opponent. Characters can guard in midair but cannot air block against normal attacks from an opponent that is standing on the ground and cannot air block after performing an attack in the air. While guarding, pressing the punch and kick buttons rapidly has a chance of pushing the other character away. Most characters have one special move, called a guard cancel, that can be performed while guarding to cancel out of the block and immediately counterattack their opponent.

The game features a Special meter, which fills as characters perform normal moves (except light attacks) and special moves or take damage. When it is full, characters can perform different types of special moves, depending on the mode selected: ES moves (enhanced versions of their special moves), EX moves (high-damage "super" moves), and Dark Force moves or Dark Force Power (special states that last for a limited duration).

Modes

The game has the following modes:

Arcade: A single-player mode where the player fights seven matches against randomly chosen computer-controlled opponents. Jedah is always the last opponent, and there are only two possible endings (one for completing the game with Jedah and one for completing the game with any other character). A second player can enter at any time to challenge the first by pressing START , with the victor continuing in the tournament. There are eight different difficulty levels for computer-controlled opponents.
Versus: A dedicated two-player mode where players can choose a character, a handicap, and any stage to play.
Training: A single-player mode where the player can practice playing a character against a non-hostile opponent. Both characters have vitality meters that stay fully replenished. The player can select some options with START , such as enabling unlimited Special meters, deciding whether the opponent blocks attacks, or setting the opponent to stand, crouch, jump, attack, or be controlled manually (using a second control pad).
Network: The game featured online play though Capcom's Matching Service dial-up matchmaking service.

Players can choose between Normal and Turbo speed for battles. There are two playing styles that can be selected after choosing a character: Normal and Auto. The character automatically guards against a limited number of attacks in Auto mode and automatically performs chain combos when attacking with normal moves.

Mode select

After selecting a game mode, the player must choose a mode based on one of the previous games in the series. This choice determines some of the basic mechanics of the game.

Vampire

Matches are fought to the best of three rounds. All damage is permanent (no recoverable damage).

The Special meter only has one level and slowly depletes if the character is not doing anything to increase it (such as a special move). When the Special meter is full, it starts to flash and begins to deplete rapidly. While it is flashing, all of the character's special moves are ES moves, and the character can perform an EX move (which fully depletes the meter). The Special meter is empty at the start of every round.

In Arcade Mode, all opponents will use the Vampire type.

Vampire Hunter

Matches are fought to the best of three rounds. All damage is permanent (no recoverable damage).

The Special meter can hold up to 99 levels, gaining a new level each time it fills, and does not deplete if not used. Characters can perform ES and EX moves when the meter has at least one full level, which costs a level of meter per move. ES moves are performed by pressing the same button inputs as a special move but holding two attack buttons of the same type (punches or kicks) instead of only one. The Special meter levels are retained between rounds but not battles.

In Arcade Mode, all opponents will use the Hunter type.

Vampire Savior

Instead of having rounds, each fighter has two life bars and two corresponding life markers. When one fighter loses a life marker after the life bar is emptied, the fighters reset their positions as if starting a new round, but the victorious fighter retains their remaining life bar and the timer does not reset. When the player is attacked, some of the health lost is displayed in white, which can be recovered if the player does not take any more damage within a short duration (health does not recover while blocking).

The Special meter can hold up to 99 levels, gaining a new level each time it fills, and does not deplete if not used. Characters can perform ES moves and EX moves when the meter has at least one full level, which costs a level of meter per move. ES moves are performed by pressing the same button inputs as a special move but holding two attack buttons of the same type (punches or kicks) instead of only one. Characters using the Savior type can perform Dark Force moves by holding a punch and a kick button of the same strength, which costs one level of meter. Characters using the Savior2 type can activate Dark Force Power by holding a punch and a kick button of the same strength, which costs two levels of meter. The Special meter levels are retained for the entire match.

In Arcade Mode, all opponents will use the Savior or Savior2 types.

Type select

After selecting a character, the player is given a choice of four different types, again corresponding to the previous games in the series (with the two arcade versions of Vampire Savior separated). This choice determines the moves available to the character. Every character can select from each of the four types, even if the character was not playable in that game.

Vampire

Modeled after the original Vampire. Characters can perform chain combos by linking attacks of the same type from weakest to strongest (light punch to medium punch, then hard punch or light kick to medium kick, then hard kick). Characters cannot perform pursuit attacks or use Dark Force moves.

Characters who were in the original Vampire use their background music from that game.

Hunter

Modeled after the second game in the series, Vampire Hunter. Characters can perform chain combos by linking attacks from weakest to strongest and from punches to kicks (light punch into light kick, medium punch into medium kick, then hard punch into hard kick). Characters have special pursuit moves where they can attack knocked down opponents by holding and a kick button simultaneously. Characters cannot perform Dark Force moves.

Characters who were in Vampire Hunter use their background music from that game.

Savior

Modeled after the third game in the series, Vampire Savior. Characters can perform chain combos by linking attacks from weakest to strongest and from punches to kicks (light punch into light kick, medium punch into medium kick, then hard punch into hard kick). Characters can also perform aerial chain combos. Characters can perform a taunt with HOLD START , which is a short animation during which the character is vulnerable to attack.

Characters have special pursuit moves where they can attack knocked down opponents by holding and any attack button simultaneously. Pursuit attacks only do recoverable (white) damage, so they must be followed up with additional attacks to do permanent damage.

Characters can perform Dark Force moves in Vampire Savior mode by holding a punch and a kick button of the same strength, which costs one level of the Special meter. Dark Force moves are character-specific abilities that temporarily boost the character's damage, defense, or mobility for a limited period.

Savior2

Modeled after Vampire Savior 2, an update to original Vampire Savior. Characters can perform chain combos by linking attacks from weakest to strongest and from punches to kicks (light punch into light kick, medium punch into medium kick, then hard punch into hard kick). Characters cannot perform aerial chain combos. Characters can perform a taunt with HOLD START , which is a short animation during which the character is vulnerable to attack.

Characters have special pursuit moves where they can attack knocked down opponents by holding and any attack button simultaneously. Pursuit attacks only do recoverable (white) damage, so they must be followed up with additional attacks to do permanent damage.

Characters can activate Dark Force Power in Vampire Savior mode by holding a punch and a kick button of the same strength, which costs two levels of the Special meter. Dark Force Power boosts the attack power and defense of the character and also improves the damage of special moves, ES moves, and EX moves. Some EX moves have different animations and hit more times. Some characters retain their Dark Force moves from the Savior type but with different button combinations.

Characters

Note: Move lists assume that the character is facing right. When facing left, and should be reversed.

P	Any punch button
LP	Light punch
MP	Medium punch
HP	Hard punch

K	Any kick button
LK	Light kick
MK	Medium kick
HK	Hard kick

TAUNT

Taunt

Most special moves can be performed as ES moves if two P or K buttons are used instead of one, depending on the type selected.

Every character is playable using every mode and every type, even characters who were not introduced until later entries.

Players can choose from eight different color schemes for each character: six corresponding to the six attack buttons, plus two additional color schemes available by selecting the character with two P buttons or two K buttons simultaneously.

Marionette

Marionette is an otherworldly puppet. At the beginning of each match, a collapsed double of her opponent appears on the ground beneath her, and she possesses him or her. This makes her effectively a mirror match mode, letting the player always play as the same character as the opponent.

Shadow

Shadow is an apparition. At the end of each match, it possesses the defeated opponent. This allows the player to play through the game as a different character (the previously fought character) each match.

Stages

The game uses the stages from Vampire Savior 2. Characters have particular stages where their matches are hosted in the single-player mode. Some characters share a stage, and some characters use multiple stages. The stage can be manually chosen in the two-player mode.

In the two-player mode, the Vampire Savior version of the stage, with an alternate color scheme, can be chosen by holding START while selecting the stage.

+Characters move with {{left}} and {{right}} and dash with {{left}} {{left}} and {{right}} {{right}}. They jump upward with {{up}} and jump behind and ahead with {{upleft}} and {{upright}}. They crouch with {{down}}. Punches are done with {{X}} (light), {{Y}} (medium), and {{L}} (hard) and kicks are done with {{A}} (light), {{B}} (medium), and {{R}} (hard). Light attacks are faster and hard attacks deal more damage. Chain combos can be performed by linking attacks from lightest to hardest and from punches to kicks, canceling the recovery of a normal move by starting another. Special moves for each character are done by pairing specific directional combinations with an attack button. Projectile attacks move slowly through each other, with the stronger projectile dissipating the other (depending on the strength of the attack button used and which was launched first) rather than canceling each other out as in most fighting games (unless they were launched at the same time with the same strength).
-{{ratings
-| icon=DC
+Throws and grabs are done by holding {{left}} or {{right}} when next to an opponent and pressing a medium or hard punch or kick button. Different characters have different throws available to them, and most characters can throw in midair. Characters can reduce the damage taken from a throw (except command throws) by pressing the medium or hard punch button after being thrown. Knocked down characters can recover and slide away by holding {{left}} or {{right}} and pressing any attack button.

+Guarding is done by holding the D-Pad away from the opponent. Characters can guard in midair but cannot air block against normal attacks from an opponent that is standing on the ground and cannot air block after performing an attack in the air. While guarding, pressing the punch and kick buttons rapidly has a chance of pushing the other character away. Most characters have one special move, called a guard cancel, that can be performed while guarding to cancel out of the block and immediately counterattack their opponent.
+The game features a Special meter, which fills as characters perform normal moves (except light attacks) and special moves or take damage. When it is full, characters can perform different types of special moves, depending on the mode selected: ES moves (enhanced versions of their special moves), EX moves (high-damage "super" moves), and Dark Force moves or Dark Force Power (special states that last for a limited duration).
+===Modes===
+The game has the following modes:
+*'''Arcade:''' A single-player mode where the player fights seven matches against randomly chosen computer-controlled opponents. Jedah is always the last opponent, and there are only two possible endings (one for completing the game with Jedah and one for completing the game with any other character). A second player can enter at any time to challenge the first by pressing {{Start}}, with the victor continuing in the tournament. There are eight different difficulty levels for computer-controlled opponents.
+*'''Versus:''' A dedicated two-player mode where players can choose a character, a handicap, and any stage to play.
+*'''Training:''' A single-player mode where the player can practice playing a character against a non-hostile opponent. Both characters have vitality meters that stay fully replenished. The player can select some options with {{Start}}, such as enabling unlimited Special meters, deciding whether the opponent blocks attacks, or setting the opponent to stand, crouch, jump, attack, or be controlled manually (using a second control pad).
+*'''Network:''' The game featured online play though Capcom's [[Matching Service]] dial-up matchmaking service.
+Players can choose between Normal and Turbo speed for battles. There are two playing styles that can be selected after choosing a character: Normal and Auto. The character automatically guards against a limited number of attacks in Auto mode and automatically performs chain combos when attacking with normal moves.
+===Mode select===
+{{ScreenThumb|Vampire Chronicle DC, Mode Select.png|width=200|Mode select}}
+After selecting a game mode, the player must choose a mode based on one of the previous games in the series. This choice determines some of the basic mechanics of the game.
+====''Vampire''====
+Matches are fought to the best of three rounds. All damage is permanent (no recoverable damage).
+The Special meter only has one level and slowly depletes if the character is not doing anything to increase it (such as a special move). When the Special meter is full, it starts to flash and begins to deplete rapidly. While it is flashing, all of the character's special moves are ES moves, and the character can perform an EX move (which fully depletes the meter). The Special meter is empty at the start of every round.
+In Arcade Mode, all opponents will use the Vampire type.
+====''Vampire Hunter''====
+Matches are fought to the best of three rounds. All damage is permanent (no recoverable damage).
+The Special meter can hold up to 99 levels, gaining a new level each time it fills, and does not deplete if not used. Characters can perform ES and EX moves when the meter has at least one full level, which costs a level of meter per move. ES moves are performed by pressing the same button inputs as a special move but holding two attack buttons of the same type (punches or kicks) instead of only one. The Special meter levels are retained between rounds but not battles.
+In Arcade Mode, all opponents will use the Hunter type.
+====''Vampire Savior''====
+Instead of having rounds, each fighter has two life bars and two corresponding life markers. When one fighter loses a life marker after the life bar is emptied, the fighters reset their positions as if starting a new round, but the victorious fighter retains their remaining life bar and the timer does not reset. When the player is attacked, some of the health lost is displayed in white, which can be recovered if the player does not take any more damage within a short duration (health does not recover while blocking).
+The Special meter can hold up to 99 levels, gaining a new level each time it fills, and does not deplete if not used. Characters can perform ES moves and EX moves when the meter has at least one full level, which costs a level of meter per move. ES moves are performed by pressing the same button inputs as a special move but holding two attack buttons of the same type (punches or kicks) instead of only one. Characters using the Savior type can perform Dark Force moves by holding a punch and a kick button of the same strength, which costs one level of meter. Characters using the Savior2 type can activate Dark Force Power by holding a punch and a kick button of the same strength, which costs two levels of meter. The Special meter levels are retained for the entire match.
+In Arcade Mode, all opponents will use the Savior or Savior2 types.
+===Type select===
+{{ScreenThumb|Vampire Chronicle DC, Type Select.png|width=200|Type select}}
+After selecting a character, the player is given a choice of four different types, again corresponding to the previous games in the series (with the two arcade versions of ''[[Vampire Savior]]'' separated). This choice determines the moves available to the character. Every character can select from each of the four types, even if the character was not playable in that game.
+====Vampire====
+Modeled after the original ''Vampire''. Characters can perform chain combos by linking attacks of the same type from weakest to strongest (light punch to medium punch, then hard punch or light kick to medium kick, then hard kick). Characters cannot perform pursuit attacks or use Dark Force moves.
+Characters who were in the original ''Vampire'' use their background music from that game.
+====Hunter====
+Modeled after the second game in the series, ''[[Vampire Hunter]]''. Characters can perform chain combos by linking attacks from weakest to strongest and from punches to kicks (light punch into light kick, medium punch into medium kick, then hard punch into hard kick). Characters have special pursuit moves where they can attack knocked down opponents by holding {{up}} and a kick button simultaneously. Characters cannot perform Dark Force moves.
+Characters who were in ''Vampire Hunter'' use their background music from that game.
+====Savior====
+Modeled after the third game in the series, ''[[Vampire Savior]]''. Characters can perform chain combos by linking attacks from weakest to strongest and from punches to kicks (light punch into light kick, medium punch into medium kick, then hard punch into hard kick). Characters can also perform aerial chain combos. Characters can perform a taunt with {{hold|{{A}}|{{Start}}}}, which is a short animation during which the character is vulnerable to attack.
+Characters have special pursuit moves where they can attack knocked down opponents by holding {{up}} and any attack button simultaneously. Pursuit attacks only do recoverable (white) damage, so they must be followed up with additional attacks to do permanent damage.
+Characters can perform Dark Force moves in ''Vampire Savior'' mode by holding a punch and a kick button of the same strength, which costs one level of the Special meter. Dark Force moves are character-specific abilities that temporarily boost the character's damage, defense, or mobility for a limited period.
+====Savior2====
+Modeled after ''Vampire Savior 2'', an update to original ''Vampire Savior''. Characters can perform chain combos by linking attacks from weakest to strongest and from punches to kicks (light punch into light kick, medium punch into medium kick, then hard punch into hard kick). Characters cannot perform aerial chain combos. Characters can perform a taunt with {{hold|{{A}}|{{Start}}}}, which is a short animation during which the character is vulnerable to attack.
+Characters have special pursuit moves where they can attack knocked down opponents by holding {{up}} and any attack button simultaneously. Pursuit attacks only do recoverable (white) damage, so they must be followed up with additional attacks to do permanent damage.
+Characters can activate Dark Force Power in ''Vampire Savior'' mode by holding a punch and a kick button of the same strength, which costs two levels of the Special meter. Dark Force Power boosts the attack power and defense of the character and also improves the damage of special moves, ES moves, and EX moves. Some EX moves have different animations and hit more times. Some characters retain their Dark Force moves from the Savior type but with different button combinations.
+===Characters===
+{{MoveListNote|legend=StreetFighterAlpha}}
+Most special moves can be performed as ES moves if two {{punch}} or {{kick}} buttons are used instead of one, depending on the type selected.
+Every character is playable using every mode and every type, even characters who were not introduced until later entries.
+Players can choose from eight different color schemes for each character: six corresponding to the six attack buttons, plus two additional color schemes available by selecting the character with two {{punch}} buttons or two {{kick}} buttons simultaneously.

+===Stages===
+The game uses the stages from ''Vampire Savior 2''. Characters have particular stages where their matches are hosted in the single-player mode. Some characters share a stage, and some characters use multiple stages. The stage can be manually chosen in the two-player mode.
+In the two-player mode, the ''Vampire Savior'' version of the stage, with an alternate color scheme, can be chosen by holding {{Start}} while selecting the stage.
