Topic: Odd sprite in the background of Level 3' in DXC

From how the silhouette is shaped, it resembles Dracula MORE than Shaft and Death. It has legs. Both Shaft and Death are wearing long robes that cover their legs. From what I recall, Dracula's wearing pants.

Good point on the legs.  Those legs are pretty long too, and Dracula is quite tall.

In dxc Dracula's wearing a skirt/robe.

How does the silhouette look like in DXC?

[Marto]

You guys are all wrong.










It's actually St.Germain, watching over the later belmont's activities, in case he needs to "interfere" there too.

[DragonSlayr81]

That would be interesting. Where's the top hat?

[Long John Silver]

He took it off. There's some pretty strong winds up there, he was afraid it'd fall off (or it already did).

Or the hat's actually there, but you just can't tell because the sprite's so small it would just end up being 1 pixel.

Maybe Dracula likes to stare whistfully at graveyards when he gets bored of drinking wine up in the castle keep, waiting for a Belmont to inevitably show up.

Reminds me of that strange flaming guy in the background bridge in Mortal Kombat 2.

Funny thing is, they actually made him a playable character in a more recent MK game /laugh

After all, who do you think it is that says "Let us go out this evening for pleasure. The night is still young."  Classic Dracula line if I ever heard one

Yeah. Didn't they call him Blaze? I always thought, though, back when I first saw him in MK2, he was just some poor soul who was being incinerated by the guy he was fighting(which kinda, for a strange reason, looked like MK1 Liu Kang).

I think it would be nice if they gave Dracula more of a presence in future games. Sure just meeting him at the end is a mainstay of the series, but it might be cool to have Drac taunt the player once or twice as they make their way through the castle...like in CV64. It would sure open up some narrative possibilities in the game's stories.
