The original Japanese and American references both said Alucard was "about 400" in SotN.  But it also said Dracula was "about 800" and Iga eventually ended up making him 735.  Not very close to 800 in my opinion.

If Iga wants to say Alucard has only been awake for 18 years, that's one thing.  But just because someone is asleep it doesn't mean they aren't alive.  Even asleep he's still 400ish.

All in all, I'm not too supportive of making Alucard an angsty teenager.  But that does explain why there was a younger voice actor in the Chronicles version I guess.

I would guess that his physical body is at age 18 and when he slept for 400 years, his aging had stopped. In reality, he would technically be over 400 years of age but, his body is still as if he was 18.

That's right and possibly the case.

Now there's your teenager Alucard.

Simon is shocked!

[belmontsrock]

Captain N may have sucked but it showed the Real Nintendo Classics in that show. Now those designs were worser than what we have in Judgment. Be thankful everyone who is complaining about the looks, that we got something slightly better and a first CV fighting game with plenty of rocking potential...

[Reinhart77]

heh, think we'll get Simon's flight goggles, Alucard's shades and skateboard, and Syphas, um, long grey beard as unlockables in Judgment?

[belmontsrock]

Well yes we should be able to get to customize some of those stuff for Simon and Alucard. The Sunglasses are confirmed as IGN said themselves in reporting about the accessories.

[VoicesOfChaos]

Yeah it was confirmed that there are 4 different costumes per character plus the option to put unlockable accessories.

We know the 2ed costume is just a color change but i really hope the rest aren't. I hope costume 3 is an ALTERNATE costume like their original design which everybody wants and then costume 4 is a color change of that.

Sounds like there are a lot of accessories so maybe we can the characters look pretty cool. All I've heard so far is sunglasses and I think a hood.

I'll just post here what I already posted on another forum.

My thoughts on the characters:

Simon: Y HALO THAR LIGHT.  Maybe now that you've had SWIMMING LESSONS, you won't instantly die when you jump in the water.
Maria: Y HALO THAR MISA.  Putting the O RLY? owl into your stick was a brilliant idea.
Alucard: Y HALO THAR SEPHIROTH.  Who designed your armor, Johannes Krauser II?
Dracula: Well, don't you look FABULOUS with your slinky, flattering gold dress?
Aeon: Just so everyone knows, this is NOT "Aeon" the chef from Order of Ecclesia. (If you check the Konami website, their names are spelled differently in katakana.  I believe the "Aeon" in OoE should've been named Ian.) Probably the best design out of all the characters (probably because it's an original design and not an interpretation of an existing character), but that's not saying much.
Eric: Y HALO THAR BRIDGET.  Compensating for something with that spear?
Death: Please, Death.  Put some clothes on.  No one wants to see your naked body.
Shanoa: It must suck to be a Blue Dragon Ral Grad reject, huh?
Golem: There are a lot of major characters who deserved to make the cut, like Soma or Richter.  But every fighting game has to have a big slow guy, so here you are.  Rejoice.
Carmilla: Sorry, girl.  No amount of skin you show will make horny Japanese otaku create more H-doujins of you than Maria.
Trevor: See, I told you that playing with your whip too much would poke an eye out.
Sypha: Now I know that all the character designs have been butchered to hell and back, but Sypha REALLY looks nothing like what she's supposed to look like.  It's just not the same without the robe.
Grant: Y HALO THAR REM.  I thought you were supposed to be small.
Cornell: WTF, I thought IGA erased you out of existence.  How did Obata bring you back?

You know the sad thing about all of this? I actually pre-ordered the game.

I wonder if Konami will pull a fast one on us and make this game awesome to play.

[RichterX]

Im going to have fun with it regardless. Im ready to get started playing.

[belmontsrock]

[Omegasigma]

I do hope my store gets it on time i had to wait 3 days after the preorders were supposed to be in, ironic thing is the store had the gme, but was to alzy to unpack their shippping

[Rodriguezjr]

If I have money leftover from Animal Crossing, I might be able to get it next Tuesday or so. I'll probably record videos of the game and stories.
