On Yoshinori Ono's Twitter account, there was a hint that the Street Fighter 4 series producer might be pitching a new Darkstalkers title to Capcom.

This started on Monday when he mentioned a new proposal he was working on and would be presenting to Keiji Inafune, who is Capcom's head of research & development and global head of production, and also the creator of Mega Man.

Ono said this proposal was successful, but didn't offer much information into what it might be.

Another Twitter member asked this question after the meeting with Inafune took place and Ono's response follows.

So now you can make a new Darkstalkers/Vampire game, right?

Ono: I'm left speechless yet..... Shhhh.

This implies Ono pitched a Darkstalkers title and Inafune liked the idea. If this is true, there's still a long way to go before the project is green lighted, but this might potentially be very good news for Darkstalkers fans.

Ono also had this to say when asked about the possibility of new alternative costumes for Super Street Fighter 4.
Will you guys make more alternate costumes for SSF4?

Ono: If there is a demand, I think..

    ...I remember reading around the time Street Fighter IV came out that Ono was interested in doing another Darkstalkers game w/SF4-style graphics, so I can't say I'm surprised.

    Considering the fact that Capcom's been on a roll recently with resurgences of their franchises (With the exception of that console Bionic Commando and Final Fight Streetwise, of course), this'll most likely be another win for them.

    I was never impressed with Darkstalkers....

    I'm curious to hear ya'll's opinion on why you all like this game tho... like what made this a good fighting game for you?

    ...The introduction of EX Moves to Capcom fighters, Dashing, Air Blocking (I guess), (Some) cool characters and Supers, and other twists/tweaks/additions to the Street Fighter Engine/Formula.

    But most of all (For me, anyway), I liked the series for its art style & animation, being an artist myself...

    DS invented chain-combos too, I think air blocking was alpha 1 first though

    DS in the SSF4 engine would be dope as ? , I already know they'll add some new ? to the engine too

    Nah, it was Darkstalkers--It came out a year before Alpha 1. I said "I guess" because I know Air Blocking was looked down upon by some gamers.

    But anyway, DS was also the first Capcom fighting game to use that new (At the time) hand-drawn style seen in the Alpha and Vs. series...

    ...Yeah. Despite Capcom using some of their Darkstalker gameplay innovations in the Street Fighter series and vice versa, DS is still different enough that it would be able to stand on its own, gameplay-and-concept-wise..

    Darkstalkers kinda started the over the top fighting style that Capcom funneled into the Vs series. If I'm not mistaken, it was Capcom's second major fighting series, and brought a completely different style to the table for them.

    naaaa. morrigan is a beast if you really know how to use her and not just exploit fireball and uppercut. jedah is my favorite. on a side note, would love to see edge from rival schools in a vs. game.

    see to me when darkstalkers first came out Demitri played more like ryu to me than morgan. i would wish they would have put him in a VS game by now. Demitri vs Ryu that would be an ill match up.

    Yea itss a on PS2,its a horribly put together game lol but its really not bad just to pick up and play, they basically copy & pasted all the characters from their respective games and didnt touch them at all
