Kid Dracula --if you don't know who this is --shame on you.
Bram Stoker's Dracula character is the Godfather of all this shit.
WTF? Satan is the REAL Prince of Darkness!

I chose "classicvania dracula" because that's the guy I grew up with.

Mathias Dracula is cool because he has/had a good reason to turn and some badass dialogue, "If limited life is God's decree, then I shall defy it! And within that eternity I shall curse him forevor more!!" This quote sets the tone for the entire series. Priceless.

Coxelvania Dracula, there isn't enough info on him to form a solid opinion but I didn't like how he was portrayed really. He's basically a "i wish i was dead already ;-;" version, as opposed to a more badass "it's modern times, all or nothing bring it on muthafuckaz!!" Dracula. Oh well..

Haven't played Kid Dracula =[ but he's so kawaii ^^

Satan is just lol

Bram Stoker's vision is excellent, no complaints really. Love watching the movie on blu-ray.

Vlad Tepes had a funky mustache yet he's still looked to as a hero today (in Romania I believe). Kudos to The King for attaining true immortality.

Still waiting.

Oh fine --I voted for Satan.  I never really liked Dracula being called "The Prince of Darkness"   Castlevania is rooted in Christian themes --You can't steal Satan's thunder and pretend he doesn't even exist.  I gotta give Mercury Steam the credit for breaking Castlevania's oldest taboo.  High time they established Satan's place in the Castlevania Universe and his relationship to Dracula.  Best thing that came out of Coxelvania IMO.

Classicvania: My favorite Dracula, shoot first ask questions later type of Dracula. Every battle before Dracula was like this "Don't tell me your name but I know why your here, lets do this."

Mathias Dracula: I liked him cause Crispen Freeman's voice rules.

Coxevania Dracula: Not much is known about him other than he's sick of living the night life. Was he active over the past thousand years as the overlord of the night known as Dracula? Or Was he hiding in a church pissing away years of valuable "Rule the night" Time?

Kid Dracula: Didn't play it, all I know is that he's cute as a button.

Satan:......Yeah he's Satan, cant get more evil than that.

Bram Stokers Dracula: I just started watching that a few hours ago, pretty good.

We need more Crispin Freeman as Dracula. He's just such an amazing large ham. Not to mention he's got experience with playing Hellsing's Alucard! And he DOES play a magnificent evil role.

Ooooor... Get back whoever did him in Symphony.

Oh Oh even BETTER. Get Crispin Freeman to re- do the infamous what is a man.

but Im getting off topic.

the Dracula from Braham Stoker's Dracula, (AKA Gary Oldman Dracula and the origin of that funky hairdoo) was pretty well played. AND was no dount the inspiration for IGA Dracula's origins. (and seems to be the popular one too, considering Eu Sunt Dracul over there WAS you know who, who was a you know what who fought in you know whom's name.)
Laura and Gabriel arrive in the deepest cave of the castle and... they find IGA.

I chose the Classicvania Dracula. He was a hardcore boss in several of the classic games and based off of Bram stoker's Dracula THE true Dracula IMO.

Yea that speech is one of the main reasons i prefer IGA's Dracula over the rest which is why i chose him.

Mathias Dracula offered a reason to why he become the Dark Lord and gave us more emotion and sorrow then the others did.
Also i loved everything leading up to him becoming Dracula such as tricking Walter,Leon,Rinaldo,and Sara.

Yeah, he does a great job as Hellsing's Alucard and him doing the "infamous what is a man" would be cool.
By the way, he is the voice of Hector in CoD.

I picked the real Vlad for two reasons. 1) Ever since CVIII, and its "visit Dracula's home" contest, I preferred to connect CV's Dracula with the real one. IGA's approach with the whole Mathias thing was interesting but in the end, not for me. 2) Real life is often more terrifying than fiction.

Picked Classic. Old school drac doesn't give a SHIT. He just wants you dead. No talking no bullshit.

Combo of oldschool Classicvania Drac and Bram Stoker's Drac (love me some Gary Oldman) for me. I like the refined gentlemen who can have his shadow come out and eat you without breaking a sweat.
