==Introduction==

    Capcom, the company that started the one-on-one fighting game craze a
few years ago with the smash hit, Street Fighter II, has done it again.
Their latest creation, DarkStalkers: The Night Warriors (in Japan: Vampire:
The Night Warriors), showcases some of the best graphics, most creative
moves, and hottest babes ever seen on an arcade screen.

==The "Special" Meter==

Each character has a bar at the bottom of the screen (labeled SPECIAL)
which grows each time the character attacks (or throws) his/her opponent.
Even if an attack misses, the special bar will increase slightly.  During
the course of the fight the level in the "special" bar will slowly decrease
-- you must continually attack in order to get a full meter.  Once this has
happened, the meter will begin to drain very quickly and the word "special"
will start to flash.  At this point, the character will gain some important
powers: most special moves are enhanced and special "power" moves become
available.  After one of these moves is executed the "special" meter will
empty and must be re-filled.


==Air Combat==

    In DarkStalkers it is possible to block attacks in mid-air.  Jump at
your opponent, hold the joystick away from them, and you will block any
an
