about the psp version:
for some reason people used to bitch about the controls, not being able to fireball or whatever.
this isn't true, apparently the original psp either had weird d-pad controls or people just sucked(i think this was the case). but psp slim/3000 dpads are just fine(even the fighters generation said it was fine, and people used "i suck as fighters" as an excuse), sadly it doesnt have analog control, but im personally okay with that since ive always played with dpad for ps1. moves are pretty easy to pull off (if you do the move accordingly and calmly and not bashing on the buttons like a raging nerd, otherwise specials wont activate), this game pretty much tries to teach you to be calm performing specials, because thats important for any fighting game.
(for those who cant play, button mashing is still pretty fun, youll pull off more shit even though youll have no idea what youre doing)
also you can configure the buttons to anything, any 1-3 commands in 1 button, you can pretty much set up specials to your liking in every way possible, not to mention being able to pick any of the character's fighting styles from any game. so if youve only played darkstalkers 1, dont fret, you can pick that fighting style and go along with that, they even gave newer characters from 2 and 3 slight changes so they fit in the style of 1/2.
fighting styles to choose from:
darkstalkers
night warriors: darkstalker's revenge
darstalkers 3 (vampire savior)
darkstalkers 3 (vampire savior/hunter 2)
