He reigns with an iron fist in the dark world. Until his untimely defeat by Morrigan's clan. Now,after 100 years,he has arisen from his enchanted coffin. And sets out to do battle and prove his massive strength and agility and be hailed once again as the prince of darkness. ******************************************************************************** 2.0-Moves List *NOTE*: All ES moves are performed by the motion followed by two punches/kicks. Chaos Flare-D,DF,F+P(can also be done in the air) Demitri hurls a fiery bat projectile,and for effect,the bat bites the opponent if it hits. Bat Spin-D,DB,B+K (can also be done in the air) Demitri dissappears behind a puff of smoke,and reappears twirling diagonally downward.This attack hits three times,more in the ES version. Demon Cradle-F,D,DF+P Demitri does a basic uppercut,except he use his whole body. Dashing Demon Cradle-Dash Forward,F,D,DF+P Demitri dashes intimidatingly forward and performs the uppercut. ******** Throws ******** Bat Dive-F+MP or FP Demitri raises the opponent and slams them into the ground. Quick Pleasure-F+MK or RK Demitri bites the opponent in traditional vampire-style,then discards them over his shoulder while wiping his mouth in satisfaction. Bat Fly-In air,F+MP or FP Same as the Bat Dive,except it's performed in the air. Negative Stolen-360+P Demitri does a Zangeif-like piledriver to the opponent,slamming them into oblivion. ******************************************* Pursuit Move-U+K(when opponent's down) Demitri flips and stomps on the opponent ******************************************* Guard Reversal While Blocking,F,D,DF+Punch ========= Supers ========= Midnight Pleasure-WP,MP,F+WK,MK(only on Level 2) Demitri dashes forth,and,if it connects,bites them like mad then does some martial arts to the opponent. Demon Billion-F,D,DF+KK Demitri turns into a muscular demon(his true self) and dissappears, enclosed by bats who fly a short width on the screen. Midnight Bliss-D,F,DF+PP Demitri suavely floats up to his opponent,and if it connects, turns the opponent into a female,then zaps them of their strength. ***************************************************************************** 3.0-Demitri Tactics Demitri is quite a versatile character. Most of his attacks deal good damage,and he has just the right attack for any occasion. I wouldn't suggest using his Demon Billion super too much,as he can be hit out of it. The Midnight Bliss is fun to watch,easy to execute,and cannot be blocked. Try doing this after you come in with a jumping attack,then quickly perform the move for maximum satisfaction. The same goes with his Midnight Pleasure super. Use his Chaos Flare in the air to stop opponents who constantly jump. His Bat Spin is good. Try using the SK version if you're close to the opponent. Demitri's Dashing uppercut is perfect for those who want to stop their opponents quick. Demitri's dash is excellent,as it can go through just about everything. And it provides Demitri a quick escape if he's cornered. ***************************************************************************** 4.0-Strageties against other characters Vs.Demitri-Demitri tends to dash a bit and also throw a couple of Chaos Flares at you to keep you at bay. Use the bat spin sparingly. And give him a taste of his own medicene by dashing in and giving a good roundhouse or fierce. Or just a good old Demon Cradle. Vs.Jon Talbain-Talbain is quick and will get you with a Beast Cannon if you're not careful. He will also try to keep you away by performing a Million Flicker. The best time to get Talbain is right after he's finished performing the Beast Cannon. You can easily get him with a low kick chain-combo. If you're trying to perform the Midnight Bliss on him,good luck,he always dodges it. Your best bet is to wait until he gets up after being knocked down. Vs.L.Raptor-Lord Raptor isn't too fast. But will always try to knock you out of the air or will almost always attack when airborne. Use Demitri standing forward to knock him out of the air,or his jumping forward when meeting with him in the air. Try using the Midnight Pleasure on him for a good power-drainer. Chain combos won't work as well against Raptor unless you see an opening. Vs.Victor-Victor isn't exactly the fastest in the whole game,but can still be quite as annoying with his electric punches and kicks,which he'll constantly try to poke you with. He'll often try to get you with the Mega Stake,which is easily avoidable. Counter with a Demon Cradle. Dash in and throw him,too. Recommended supers against Victor are Midnight Bliss and Midnight Pleasure. Vs.Morrigan-Morrigan is one of the most annoying characters to fight against in the game. She'll constanly dash or fly up in the air. When you see her do a couple of standing jabs,be careful. This means she'll try to do her Darkness Illusion on you. Counter with a quick chain combo. If she tries to do the Finishing Wire,snap her out of it REALLY fast with a Bat Spin. The Midnight Pleasure is the best super against Morrigan,when up close,though. Vs.Anakaris-Ah,Anakaris. One of the cheapest fighters to play against,and one of the most annoying. Anakaris seems to love to counter your jumping attacks with a ducking Fierce. I wouldn't recommend jumping too much. Fight him off with Chaos Flares. When you see an opportunity,dash in and do a Midnight Bliss. Also use the Bat Spin when he jumps. Watch out. He'll always trip you somehow with his annoying chain combos. Vs.Felicia-This is one of Demitri's worst opponents to battle. Felicia is extermely quick,and when need be,very cheap. It's hard to land any kind of super on her,since she'll cowardly walk away from you when you do it. Dash in as often as you can and throw her. When she does a couple of standing jabs,this means she'll try and do her Dancing Flash super. Dash forward and do a Demon Billion,since she likes to jump around and confuse you. A good Fierce or Roundhouse is good now and then,too. Vs.Bishamon-Bishamon is a chain combo cheapie. Watch out for his Karame Dama,as he'll throw it often and get you with his many attacks that follow. Try counter with chain combos and a good Fierce or Roundhouse when up close. Use the Midnight Pleasure when you got him cornered,since he tends to block,and this super cannot be blocked. It's a good and annoying way to beat him. Vs.Rikuo-Rikuo loves to do dashing Strong Punches,which will almost always get you if you're not careful. He'll also try to get you a lot with his Sea Rage super,quickly jump in with a roundhouse and knock him out of it. He's also vulnerable to chain combos,too. Use this to your advantadge. Vs.Sasquatch-One of the few anti-air characters in the game,Sasquatch will constantly try to knock you out of the air with his Big Breath and Big Typhoon moves,which he does constantly. Throw a few Chaos Flares to snap him out of it. Use the Forward Bat Spin on him. Try not to get to close to him,as he'll always some manage to throw you. Any of Demitri's supers can counter this twit,especially the Midnight Pleasure. Vs.Hsien-Ko-This projectile-happy Chinese zombie has many tricks up her sleeve,literally. She'll constantly try to keep you at bay with her Ankihou,which throws out random projectiles. Quickly dash and either throw her or do a low chain combo. Watch out when she tries to do a chain combo on you,this most likely means she'll do a Tenraiha on you,which is a super that will quickly do a lot of damage to you. Use the Midnight Bliss on her. Vs.Jedah-The master of this game,and also the cheapest. A chain combo king that will almost always get you with them. His dash is dangerous to you,too,as it can hit you and knock you out of the air. Try not to jump in too much,as you'll be vulnerable to his Nero=Fautica. Your best bet is to constantly chain combo him,and when you see fit,either do a Demon Billion or a Midnight Bliss,since he tends to block a lot. Vs.Lilith-Her Merry Turn move is her most valuable move,and she will try and constantly perform it. Just counter with basic attacks. Same thing here as with Morrigan,since the two play almost similar. Vs.Q-Bee-Queen Bee isn't too hard. She'll try and constantly hit you with her Air Delta A move. And her supers are easily avoidble. Chain combos are your friend here. Use the Midnight Pleasure on this ugly bee. Vs.B.B.Hood-She,like Q-Bee,isn't hard either. You can counter her attacks with a chain combo or a Midnight Pleasure,when close. Watch out for her Beautiful Memory super,though. This can be quite damaging. ***************************************************************************** 5.0-Credits and Thanks I would like to thank GameFaq's,as always.
